My partner and I broke up after almost 11 years. Thursday the moving truck came to take away his furniture and studio equipment, and he drove away shortly afterward. We parted as two men who loved each other but who were not compatible. I hope that Omaha Nebraska will be a hospitable place for a 32 year old black man to live and work. A lot of people here in New Jersey will miss him.

Scott-

Sorry to hear it.

I see that modern feminists have adopted the "she was asking for it" defense for Senator Franken. Yep, nothing like a flak jacket and helmet to proclaim "I want it" to the world! Some of the photos used to tear down Leeann Tweeden show her comfortably handling a gun, which explains why Franken waited until she was asleep to grope her -- some women are serious about self-defense.

If he doesn't resign I hope she shoots his gonads off.

@Scott,

No matter what one's orientation, a broken heart still hurts like a sonafabitch.

I'm sorry for what the both of you are going through.

With the reevaluation of Bill Clinton going on are we going to go ahead and declare that Ken Starr is one of the good guys?

Don't know about whitest [BYU usually has that distinction] but they looked phenomenal against Michigan! Glad to see it.

Democrats won't do it based on the reevaluation of Clinton. Remember, Clinton is being reevaluated because of his treatment of women. Starr went after him on perjury and obstruction of justice. In general, Democrats are fine with Democrats committing perjury and obstruction of justice.

However, they might declare Ken Starr one of the good guys as a separate reevaluation of special prosecutors, since they currently have a stake in having special prosecutors being respected.

How about how those Ducks, 48-28 over Arizona in a surprising victory. In Eugene, Oregon, duck fans are known as quacker-backers, and the university radio station is KWAX.

Given the number of me-too stories that are going to be coming out, it's probably time for the court of public opinion to come up with some sort of rational sentencing guidelines.

I propose we begin by distinguishing behaviour that is disgusting (masturbating in a private place in front of someone who is free to walk away) from behaviour that is a minor crime (groping) from behaviour that is a felony (rape).

I am inclined to believe that behaviour that would not warrant jail time should not warrant a political death penalty (unless imposed by the voters, as opposed to the senate).

To put it another way, Al Franken should not pay for the alleged crimes of Bill Clinton or Harvey Weinstein.

Make sure to take good care of yourself in the days ahead.

Be with friends.

From the image, it is not known if Franken groped her. Although, allegations of other actions have him groping and more. The available evidence "only" supports that Franken molested an unconscious woman on camera, presumably out of misogynistic spite.

In other news, progressives hoping to distract from scrutiny of social liberalism, transgender pedophilia, and Obama's recreation of the "trail of tears", are hinging their faith on a yearbook, a prayer, and the bullhorns of the mainstream press.

The Guy Who Searches the Internet for Nude Pictures of an Old Girlfriend...

We broke up years ago: I know, I know -- I need to let this go. And I've tried, but then I began to hear the rumors. I didn't want them to be true, but I kinda wanted them to be true too, you know...?

The rumors were that the boyfriend she had after me took nude pictures of her. Now, I'd seen her nude countless times when we were together, but after she left me she lost a lot of weight, hit the gym, got herself looking fantastic. I know she looks fantastic because sometimes I hang out in parking lots of places I know she goes, just to get a look at her...

According to the rumors, after they broke up the dude loaded the pictures up on the internet. And, well: I just have to find them. And it turns out that it is a LOT more difficult than expected. There are a LOT of nude girlfriends on the internet...

Now, good photos have been known to spread across different sites, so I figured it wasn't quite a needle in a haystack. Or maybe the haystack was smaller than I thought: something like that. But -- like I said -- there are a LOT of nude girlfriends on the internet...

It seems ex-boyfriends posting nude photos of their ex-girlfriends is A Thing. Me, I never realized just how many women took such photos. Some are cutesy, like a bikini top quickly pulled down a bit for a flash; in others there is a cock in their mouths and they are staring at the camera...

So I started looking. I figured I'd go through Tumblr, then check out other sites. Except I'm still working through Tumblr: there are a LOT of naked chicks on Tumblr. I have seen a lot of girls who kinda look like her, but not quite. I heard she had got a tattoo -- some phrase in Latin or French or something -- tattooed on her side beside her breast. But a lot of girls have tattoos like that now: again, I didn't realize it was A Thing...

So I keep looking, but as I look I see the eyes on some of these girls: they are happy, and they are taking the photos because they are happy with their boyfriend, and life is good and it is all in fun. Until they break up and their nude photos are on Tumblr. It kinda makes me sad. But I REALLY want to find those photos...

I am Laslo.

The Guy Who Searches the Internet for Nude Pictures of an Old Girlfriend...

Sometimes this quest to find my ex-girlfriends nude photos on the internet may just drive me mad. Maybe I should let it go, but sometimes I feel it is so close, like it could be the next photo I see, or the one after that...

She has gotten REALLY hot since she left me. Sometimes I park across the street from the gym she goes to now, and I see her walk in with her water bottle, wearing her tight exercise pants and pink sports bra. When she was with me she was fat. I loved her anyway, but then she leaves me and now she looks like that. Why did I get the fat her and not the hot her...?

Sometimes I think maybe I should just call the ex-boyfriend who took the photos, maybe he would tell me where he uploaded them. Like maybe there is some camaraderie amongst ex-boyfriends of the same girl. But that whole scenario seems touchy, and word would probably get out that I'm looking for those photos and then people would think I'm some kind of creep that just can't let it go...

So I keep searching the internet. Because she could be the next photo I see, or the one after that. I just have to have patience...

I REALLY want to find those photos...

I can't help but wonder how the nude photos of my ex-girlfriend are. Is it a few quick snaps of her in the shower, and she's smiling about how cute her life is? Is she nude in high heels and smoky eye-make-up, leaning against a doorframe? Is she lying on the bed with her legs parted? Once I start thinking these things I can't stop, and I think these things a lot...

When we were together she was shy about her body because she was fat. I remember going down on her once, and she kept her breasts covered with the bed sheet. Afterward, I made a light-hearted joke about how I saw her asshole, because I did: while I was down there I saw her asshole...

But she didn't think it was funny or cute: she was upset, upset at me seeing her asshole. I thought that when you were together these things were no big deal, but evidently it was A Thing. I know she was self-conscious about her body and being fat, but it's not like her asshole was fat, you know...?

So now I can't help but wonder what these photos show. Now that she is all tight and hot, is she no longer shy? Was she excited about showing off her new body? I bet she was excited about showing off her new body. And there are photos out there, if I can only find them...

I also wonder if she shows her asshole. I REALLY want to find those photos...

I am Laslo.

I wonder if my ex-girlfriend know that those photos are on the internet. She has to know: if I have heard the rumors, she must certainly know...

A week ago I was in the car in the parking lot, waiting for her to come out of the grocery store. When she came out she was in her tight black gym pants and her pink sports bra, and her nipples were poking through. So I discreetly took a photo of her with my iPhone of her perky nipples in the pink sports bra...

I admit: I did consider posting it to the internet, but I don't want to be THAT guy -- it's kinda creepy, I think. Sure, I look for her nude photo on the internet, but I wasn't the one who took them and i wasn't the one who posted them, so I am not the creep here...

It had dawned on me that she might have copies of the photos herself, on her computer. And I DO still have the key to her apartment...

I didn't keep the key to be a creep, I just forgot to give it back, that's all. Well, actually that is a lie. I kept the key figuring we were going to get back together so I might as well keep it. Then, after some time passed, I thought it would be creepy to return the key to her, because that would mean I was holding on to it the entire time...

But it has crossed my mind that I could sneak into her apartment while she was at work and check what files she had on her computer: I still have her password, if she hasn't changed it, but I don't think she would change it because it was the name of her beloved childhood pet and she wouldn't let that go...

I do think. it would be wrong to go into her apartment when she wasn't there and look at her things. But that WOULD be a quick way to get those pictures, if she had them. And if I DID go, I would bring a thumbdrive with at least 2 Gigs of memory, because maybe there is video, too...

I REALLY want to find those photos...

The Guy Who Searches the Internet for Nude Pictures of an Old Girlfriend...

So I went to my ex-girlfriend's apartment to see if her nude photos were on her computer. I know, I know: that was wrong. But I figured the quicker I could get those photos then the quicker I could put all of this behind me: I'm starting to think this obsession isn't good for my mental health...

I went to her computer and entered her password, BUT SHE HAD CHANGED IT. She had changed her password -- I couldn't believe it. Her password was "MacGyver 123" because MacGyver was the name of her childhood dog, and she LOVED that dog...

I thought maybe I had the password wrong -- it had been awhile -- so I tried different spellings -- McGyver, MacGver, MacGyver 1234, MacGyver 12345, but none of them worked. I was breaking the law and STILL couldn't get what I wanted...

Anyway, I looked around her apartment a little, since I was there. She had new photos of her family on her desk. I always liked her family, they were nice to me. Her father's hair was a lot grayer now, but they looked happy...

Dejected, I knew I had to get out of there, so I quietly left. Well, I grabbed a pair of panties from her drawer, then quietly left...

I REALLY want to find those photos...

Dowd & Douthat: Today in a fit of political schizophrenia, the Times is coming to pre-terms with, mainly, Bill and Hillary. Particularly Bill, admitting, even bragging, that he's a scoundrel, a cad, a man of true politically-progressive principle. But much better and much worse, the prime enabler of a man far more horrible on the crotch of the world: Donald J. Trump.

In the eyes of the left Bill Clinton was a trailblazer, bringing betrayal and horn-dog sex to the Oval Office on a level not even a pussy-grabbing Trump can ever accomplish. But don't miss the point, Donald J. Trump is worse even when fails to sit interns upon the sofa of power.

So says the Times, and so they have written.

No, Hagar, look at it this way. Al Franken has been a toad, as you say, for a very long time. This has been written on his face as with a Sharpie since the Stuart Smalley days; it boggles the mind that the good people of MN, if in fact they did, elected him to power.

So one has been waiting quite a while to see him get his comeuppance. Pity if this is the best we can do, but perhaps any stick will do to beat a wicked dog. Surely he has done more and worse, and with the blessing, all will be revealed.
