I&#8217;ve corresponded with Dan a few times and he is a genuinely funny and articulate writer.  Dan also has little patience for intolerance and homophobia.  After Senator Rick Santorum made some particularly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/ALLPOLITICS\/04\/22\/santorum.gays\/\">bone-headed remarks<\/a> in advance of the landmark Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court decision, Dan decided to coin a new word: santorum.  Using good old-fashioned democratic methods, Dan let his readers select an appropriate meaning for &#8220;santorum&#8221; that would do justice to the man and his views.  So what is santorum?  I suggest you read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/2003-06-12\/savage.html\">Dan&#8217;s explanation<\/a>, but only if you are not the queasy type.  Dan wants this alternate meaning to be on the top of a Google search result list when someone types in &#8220;santorum.&#8221;  So I&#8217;m doing my part by mentioning it here in my blog.  I ask other bloggers to do the same.<br \/>\nI have a DVD copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/title\/tt0050613\/\">Throne of Blood<\/a> sitting on my television that I rented from Netflix.  It&#8217;s been here for a month.  I really need to watch it.  It&#8217;s starting to piss me off, just sitting there.  It mocks me: &#8220;Ohhh, look at the guy who says he&#8217;s a film buff!  Hey, poseur, you gonna watch me or not?  Or are you just gonna keep me sitting around so that on the remote chance a woman ever visits your place, you can impress her by casually pointing me out and saying how you <strong>just love<\/strong> Kurosawa?  Please!&#8221;<br \/>\nOh, how it mocks me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Savage writes a sex and advice column that appears in dozens of weekly newspapers across the country.
