PS: IMHO, after seeing your recent book promo, if I were you, I'd pretty much do anything Terry said....
Colbert encouraged his viewers to google Santorum :)
@ Canuck, I hope your daughter is recovering well.
I love the Dutch. (along with their ovens.....and weed)
Wake up and smell the coffee, bro!
She's a lot better, Kim, and out of hospital, thanks for asking! (and if eating her roommate's fudge and watching Vampire Diaries last night is any indication, she's almost back to normal...) Hope you're doing well, too. The endless rounds of tests must be wearing...keeping you in my thoughts...
He's on vacation. He never posts when on vacation, but will continue it when he returns. There was no decision to stop and last week certainly isn't going to slow him down.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
@15 FTW
I'll grant, though, that I wouldn't find either thing particularly desirable in bed.
In addition to the kind == child thing, I would tweak the translation in one way: for the first sentence of the last paragraph I would have said "If Santorum wants to have a serious chance of becoming the Republican presdiential candidate, he needs to get rid of this problem."
So what does one call it if you go to such a party on a date and each person in the couple has to pay their own way?
Though ... when you return, can you please start a campaign (if it's not too late for 2012) to put Palin in its (sic) proper place on Google. I'd suggest a verb form: Palin, also see to Palienate = to alienate the public by one's sheer stupidity, with a shallow veneer of lipstick and hairspray.
(Openly gay) reporter and sex columnist Dan Savage started the schoolyard teasing after Santorum, then a senator from Pennsylvania, had warned in 2003 that homosexuality was undermining American society. Santorum compared homosexual relationships to, among other things, man/child and man/dog relationships.
Savage’s method was fatally effective: anyone could submit definitions for the word “santorum” on the website SpreadSantorum.com. Eight years later, the winner (“the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex”) is still a hit on Google.
If Santorum wants to have a serious chance of becoming the Republican candidate for president, then he will have to get rid of this problem. For the time being he places the blame on the vulgar Internet. Comedian Stephen Colbert rushed to help the tormented candidate by comparing Santorum’s problem to that of the dutch oven.
"The (openly homosexual) journalist and sex columnist Dan Savage began the [pestering; I'm trying to come up with a more-idiomatically-appropriate expression] after Santorum, then [the] senator of Pennsylvania, had [claimed? charged? stated?] that homosexuality was undermining American society. Santorum compared homosexual relations to 'man/child and man/dog relations'.
Savage's method was [very? highly? deadly?] effective: on the website SpreadingSantorum.com, anyone could submit definitions for the word 'santorum'. The winner ('The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex') is still a hit on Google eight years later.
If Santorum wants a serious chance to be the Republican presidential candidate, he must deal with this problem. [Something about him saying that's just the way things are on the internet; I'm taking 'vulgaire' to mean 'vulgar' in the sense of common, ordinary; I know I've come across 'Voorlopig' before, but I can't remember what it means.] Comic Stephen Colbert offered the candidate his help, comparing Santorum's problem to that of the dutch oven."
"The openly homosexual journalist and sex columnist Dan Savage began the teasing after Santorum, then senator of Pennsylvania, had warned that homosexuality was undermining American society."
''voorlopig geeft hij de schuld aan dat vulgaire internet'' -> "in the meantime, he blames that filthy, sleazy internet for his problem''
Yeah Dan Savage, we love you here in chilly old Amsterdam.
www.spreadingsantorum.com"
And the beat goes on, woo hoo!
Yet another thing we can be very proud of our Dan for.
Enjoy the vacation, you guys.
Just a couple days ago, Spreading was below the fold.
So, little Ricky, your whining put you on Colbert's hit list, and just reminded us what a sexual neologism you are.
Just google any word of any language plus "definition", you'll get a translation.

'had gewaarschuwd' - had warned
'voorlopig' - for the time being
'geeft de schuld aan' - gives the blame to, blames
'dat vulgaire internet' - that vulgar internet
(he does mean 'vulgar' as in 'improper', 'impolite', 'immoral', 'obscene', etc.; this is a reference to the fact that the internet is full of vulgarities -- as I recall, Santorum did say something like that, didn't he?)
"Sarah Palin is niet de enige malle hardliner die zich kandidaat stelt voor de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen van 2012. De Republikeinen hebben een zo mogelijk nóg achterlijker exemplaar in huis. Meet Rick Santorum, conservatieveling, homoseksualiteit-is-net-zo-erg-als-bestialiteit-roeper en - sinds vorige week - ik-word-gepest-op-internet-huilebalk."
Translating:
"Sarah Palin is not the only silly hardliner presenting herself as a possible candidate for the American Presidential Election of 2012. The Republicans have an even more backward type in the house. Meet Rick Santorum, conservative, homosexuality-is-just-as-bad-as-bestiality claimer and -- since last week -- also I-am-being-bullied-by-the-internet whiner/crybaby."
The (openly gay) and sexcolumnist journalist Dan Savage began bullying row after Santorum, then Pennsylvania senator, had warned in 2003 that homosexuality is undermining American society. Santorum compared gay relationships to include 'man/kind- and man / dog relationships.
The method of Savage was deadly effective: on the website, anyone could SpreadSantorum.com definitions of the word "Santorum" submit. The winner ("The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter Sometimes That is the by-product of anal sex") is eight years later still a hit on Google.
Santorom wants a serious chance to be the Republican presidential candidate, he should on this issue. For now, he blamed that vulgar Internet. Comedian Stephen Colbert shoots to help the embattled candidate, which he Santorum problem compared with that of the Dutch oven.
@ 53 - They're closely related. When I lived in Amsterdam and went to visit Copenhagen, I could read the Danish newspaper (that was a long time ago, though!)
"Pro-union protesters in Wisconsin are acting like addicts who had their drug taken from them, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said this week.
Santorum made a stop earlier this week in South Carolina, an important early primary state, where he compared bloated entitlement spending to a drug."

It's that subversive right to the pursuit of happiness causing problems again.
Administration to stop defending DOMA!
So no -- RIck Santorum is a bit much, even to HP-De Tijd. (Even the popular newsmagazine Elsevier said once, as I recall, that they don't like Rick Santorum -- and you can't get much more conservative than Elsevier and still be in the public eye in the Netherlands.)
