It's Bad Behavior Friday™! -- holiday edition

It's holiday time, and look what Santa has brought (via Wonkette): a "well-known GOP activist" in Seattle has been arrested for trying to arrange sex with a 13-year-old girl. There wasn't really a girl, it was just an internet sting run by the cops. But there really was a lonely, sexually frustrated 54-year-old Republican functionary looking for some trim. Bye, fella!

A Georgia man was arrested for trying to put his wife into an oven in front of his family on Thanksgiving. And in an obscure, unpronounceable New York town, a man broke into a barn on Thanksgiving and spray-painted three goats. What color? Orange. Glad you asked.

In a more extreme, if mundane, story a man in Oakland killed three family members during a Txg gathering -- in self-defense, he says. How do you kill three members of your family, at home, in self-defense?

Salon pulled out the stops Wednesday for Stephen Elliott's masochistical book My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up with a review and an excerpt. Coincidentally, the next day they published one of their literary travelogue pieces, this one on the Netherlands. The piece doesn't mention that Elliott's book contains an evocative chapter set in Amsterdam's sex underground.
