Herzogian Wisdom Is Back

If Ashley Herzog were to ever write a Sex & The City-style book, we would be all over it.  Literally.  In ways we probably shouldn’t talk about, as a matter of fact …

Of course, the fact that the Town Hall columnist has written a real book we find infinitely sexier.  And now, in her latest column, Herzog gets us extra hot and bothered by bashing the Sex & The City-style writers, who have apparently become dime-a-dozen literary commodities on college campuses.

From Town Hall:

I’d love to see these wannabe iconoclasts do something truly shocking, something that might actually be met with social disapproval on campus rather than widespread acceptance. Like defending gun rights in speech class (after a student at Central Connecticut State University did that this year, he was arrested by campus police). Or challenging the usefulness of a program like Sex on a Saturday Night (when Princeton’s Cassandra DeBennedetto did, she was slammed as a “virginity worshipper”). Or even, apparently, writing a column about dinner dates.

But that’s the problem with college campuses: the people who keep telling you they’re individualistic and anti-establishment never are.

Swoon, people.

Seriously, can we count the ways we love this woman?  Probably not … and not just because we suck at math.

Herzog has correctly ascertained that what was once “counter-culture” is officially culture now, and what was once culture – or in Ashley’s case, “class” – has now been slapped with the “counter” label.  And while railing against raunchiness is not something we ordinarily condone, in this case (like everything Ashley writes), it’s positively orgasmic.

Which makes it not unlike her lips … (double swoon).

Update: (HARD pinch from wife) “Ouch!”
