Protein Wisdom revs up my jealousy monitor again. To nail someone this well :

In any event, I have another suggestion, one that doesn’t involve our genuflecting before fatted Oil-For-Food robber barons: let’s simply work together as a blogging community to see if we can’t find Oliver Willis a Belgian penpal. A female Belgian penpal. That way, he’d have his internationalist itch scratched, and who knows — maybe after some long-distance heavy petting, he’d be more inclined to leave the political thinking to grownups, people who aren’t distracted into boner-wielding idiocy by Britney Spears or whatever buxom anime villainess O happens to be yanking his meat to this week.

Just a thought. I’m not married to it or anything.
