SITTING IN FOR JEFF FARIAS ON 1480 KPHX DRIVETIME

3-6 PM PDT (6-9 EDT)

SEPTEMBER 4TH TUESDAY:

JOIN ME WITH MEDIA EXPERT AND AUTHOR MARK CRISPIN MILLER AND JOURNALISTS JEFF SHARLET AND KATHRYN JOYCE TO DISCUSS "HILLARY'S PRAYER" AND THE NEW RELIGIOUS LEFT:

• The emerging religious left--righties moving left to infiltrate or lefties moving right to triangulate?
  

• If the religious right was a threat to the separation of church and state why isn't the religious left?
  

• And whether it's a born-again Bush, or a born-to-run Clinton, why should American's pay a religious tithe to put a President in the White House?

Rated "G" For Godly?

I love so many things about the movement formerly-known-as-feminsim. Not just the bawdy side liberated good girls could finally express and still be "good", but the thoroughly uninhibited (and yes, dangerous) female point of view. From Feministing-- a site of such subversiveness--

First, it's the work. Then, it's crotchless pantaloons. Next, a Godly spankin'?:

This is billed as completely consensual, with it made clear that "the husband has authority to spank the wife. The wife does not have authority to spank her husband." The site was created by wife-spankers who were sick of stumbling upon porn when they searched for other like-minded folks online. Lest you become confused that the CDD site is a BDSM site with a Christian spin, they're sure to reiterate that this is about adhering to Biblical gender roles -- not about sexual pleasure. Unless you get off on asserting your patriarchy by slapping your property wife. Not an unheard-of phenomenon, as the site acknowledges:

"Though we recognize by its very nature this subject can be erotic, we will keep this website as clean and wholesome as possible. However, we will not seek to deny the erotic nature of some CDD marriages as we believe it is a natural consequence of following God's plan. After all, He created eroticism to be enjoyed inside a Christian marriage."

But what if sometimes your wife doesn't want to be spanked? Well, let's not use an inconvenient phrase like "domestic violence" or "spousal abuse." Nah, "non-consensual CDD" would be more appropriate, really. And the site basically says that it's a man's god-given right to hit his wife, even if those pesky laws against domestic violence get in the way.

Next stop, leather "hajib"?
