Susie takes a fascinating and thorough look this week at the reporting by The New York Times's Kurt Eichenwald. You may remember Susie has found much of Eichenwald's reporting about child pornography to be very insincere and tabloidish. Two recent stories have raised even more questions for Susie and others about how Eichenwald is accessing child pornography Web sites, and, beyond that, what his reporting means in the real world where children are being abused and exploited.

Susie says there's a new twist to the disturbing (on many levels) expose the New York Times ran in early 2006 about the world of underage Internet porn.

Susie takes a look at some of the ways the Bush administration is spending its last months, including a big new federal porn bust. Yes, let's continue the war efforts with a new war on porn. Obscenity is at the heart of a suit brought against Evil Angel Productions, a film company that doesn't comply with Bush's faith-based values. The films in question depict female squirting, anal squirting, and enemas. Free speech and the first amendment will have to face their day in court again.

It's two great sex writers, thinkers, activists and friends for the price of one! Susie's guest is Dan Savage, author of the syndicated weekly sex advice column, Savage Love and two books, The Commitment and The Kid, as well as editor of the Seattle weekly newspaper The Stranger. Susie and Dan talk about a recent personal ad scandal, the politics of tranny boys, Dan's statute of limitations on identifying as bisexual, open relationships, gay marriage, and much more.

Susie says when an award-winning children's book was banned in some libraries for including the word "scrotum," she smelled rat, particularly since most librarians are front-line free-speech defenders.

This story is a sneak peak at Susie's soon-to-be-released Best American Erotica 2007.

Susie is off this week, so she wants you to enjoy a show from the archives. In 2006, Susie watched a new gay-porn film called Cirque Noir. Sure, this one had beautiful men and lots of sex, but there was also surprise - a detachable penis.

Susie ponders what sex robots are, what the end of porn as we know it means, and this question: Statistically if more babies are born in August, will they all be named Barack?

Finally, in the mailbag, Susie's holiday sex toy recommendations.
