The dick lit laureate: Tucker Max gets interviewed about Sloppy Seconds, Hilarity Ensues
Posted by Shawn Alff on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 11:14 AM
He quit his job and devoted himself to getting his stories published. In 2003, a lawsuit by a former Miss Vermont over a story Max wrote provided the mainstream publicity needed to publish his first collection of stories, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. This book became a number one bestseller and spawned a literary genre: fratire.
Max's work reads like bar stories stripped of any literary flourishes — humorous tales of hooking up, drinking to excess, and disregarding consequences. For many critics, Max is a literary Neanderthal. But, like so many rebel writers before him, he was the first person to tap into a market and an attitude younger readers craved. I caught up with Max during the launch of his final book of fratire, Hilarity Ensues, as well as the release of Sloppy Seconds: The Tucker Max Leftovers, which is available for free online.
The catch-22 of being famous is that women actively want to have sex with you, but you also attract fame whores who want to have your children. Considering that you have a law degree, do you think it is possible to have a potential fuck buddy sign a legally binding document freeing you from any financial—

As a business coach, how similar is your advice for getting over a breakup compared to dealing with getting fired or experiencing a major business setback? While many relationship coaches suggest grieving over a broken relationship, do business coaches ever suggest grieving over a lost job?

Planned Parenthood supporters rally in Tampa
Posted by Mitch Perry on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:27 PM
Planned Parenthood has used the approximately $600,000 annual contribution from Komen, the world's leading breast-cancer research advocacy group, to pay for breast-screenings exam for poor women. Komen's decision to cut funding from PP has angered the pro-choice community, including some who have financially supported both groups.
Former Tampa City Councilwoman Linda Saul-Sena said she has never given that much funding to Susan G. Komen, but now says she won't give anymore. "I was profoundly disappointed. I thought it was off base," she said of the controversial decision.
The Foundation based its decision on a new rule that prohibits funding of any group under formal investigation by a government body. Ocala-area Republican Congressman Cliff Stearns has opened a federal inquiry into Planned Parenthood, saying he is trying to learn whether the group used federal funds to provide abortions.

Planned Parenthood reacts to defunding by Susan G. Komen
Posted by Mitch Perry on Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 6:07 PM
The foundation has cited an investigation into Planned Parenthood by Florida Republican Representative Cliff Stearns as the reason for pulling nearly $1,000,000 in funding for breast cancer screenings. Komen says the organization's new rules cut off grants to any group being investigated by authorities at the local, state or federal level. Stearns began his inquiry last fall to determine whether Planned Parenthood uses federal money to fund abortions, which it is forbidden to do.
Barbara A. Zdravecky, president/CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, says she's saddened that politics have gotten in the way of women's health care. Planned Parenthood says more than 90 percent of its health care is preventative, including breast cancer screenings, birth control, and prevention sexually transmitted diseases.

How important is Valentine’s Day for The Todd?
It is probably the biggest shopping spike we hit all year. Way above Christmas. The only thing that even contends with it is the weekend of Halloween. We do well on costumes. But, overall, Valentine’s is the biggest for us.
