In a spectacular display of rape-blindness, these Seattle news-blobs call it “prostitution” when two criminals kidnap a 14-year-old girl and force her to “have sex with” five men by threatening to kill her family. Sure, you know that prostitution is rape, but one suspects that Seattle TV viewers might not possess so sophisticated a grasp …

The spinster and the bag
The other day, before I became enmeshed in the horror of relocating my household to the Wild West, I was sitting around Jo’s Coffee with my pal Jovita Patino.
