Peruvian Nights and Jamaican Days

SAVAGE..

OK, by way of brief introduction, for those who aren't hip to it, The Onion is a hilarious online news parody service. And if you don't read it religiously every Tuesday night (or Wed. morning, sometimes), then...I don't know...you must live in Alabama or something. Secondly, there is a weekly column in The Onion's AV Club (which reviews books, movies, music, etc.), called Savage Love. I read it once in awhile, mainly to find out what strange fetishes (lawn ornaments, swiss cheese, the coffee aisle in the grocery store (OK, so I made those up)) the week's column might describe. This week's Savage Love contains some of the most thoughtful, yet humorous, commentaries on the state of the nation, the elections, and the gay marriage issue, I've seen yet.
