...Perhaps, though, love is just too broad a term to provide true search engine satisfaction. Or perhaps it's not really love we want after all. How else to explain one of the fastest rising search terms this season, a single word that surged 42% in the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. That's right: Viagra...
...Much has been made of recent polls showing that, among black voters, Hillary Clinton is favored by a large margin over Barack Obama. The (mostly white) talking heads have twisted themselves into knots trying to explain it. Let me help them out.

To explain Hannibal is to remove the reason for his tenacious, voracious hold on readers: his otherness - odious and seductive, and unexplainable - by delving into his past. As the good doctor himself argued (in Silence): 'Nothing happened to me. I happened. You can't reduce me to a set of influences.' Yet that...
