The Big O and Religion

Over in Slate Thomas W. Laqueur is all worked up about being unsatisfied after reading Margolis' O: The Intimate History of the Orgasm. He believes it somehow can't quite find the point despite lots of fooling around.

Amy Sullivan on Political Animal refers us to Steve Waldman in Beliefnet eschewing the stereotyping that is so popular and presenting instead the ten ideas about liberals and conservatives that are true. Elsewhere on the Beliefnet, David Domke argues that a new religious coalition contributed to Bush's victory. She, like myself, is withholding judgment about whether David's right but his theory is worth a look.
