Linda Quiquivix has never been published in Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, or even in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers. But she has been featured in America's favorite right-wing blog, Little Green Footballs, where she's been asked to "Get the F*ck out of our country!"

She has also received unsolicited relationship advice from the Wall Street Journal online's "Taranto's Best of the Web" and in February 2007 she hit the big time by making CAMERA's watch list for her opposition of the Israeli government's bombing of Lebanese children. The latter sparked considerable interest at Fox News and The Dennis Prager Show, both requesting interviews. Alas, her busy grad school schedule prevents her from accepting any requests for nationally syndicated name-callings.

What does FAQs stand for?
Frequently Asked Questions.

What does the "Q" in LindaQ.com stand for?
Quiquivix.

Huh?
Quiquivix. I pronounce it KEY•key•viks. It's of Maya descent, and my parents are Guatemalan.

Oh, you're Guatemalan!
It depends... Although I was born in the lovely city of Ventura, California, to the Americans I'm Guatemalan, but to the rest of the world I'm American. Using a neoliberal metaphor, let's just say that I was made in the U.S.A., assembled from Guatemalan parts.

Do you speak Spanish?
Sí.

What do you do in your free time?
This.

Besides this.
I like to keep up with the pop culture by watching PBS & C-SPAN'S Book TV, and listening to public radio.

I'm in massive, enormous amounts of debt.

Did you design your own web site?
Yes.

Did you draw all of that stuff?
Yes.

Why do you stick up for the gays so much? Are you a lesbian?
No, but after wasting an entire summer with that stereotypically stupid NFL kick returner, I've begun to resent the almighty Allah for not making me gay. (Is there a pill you can take for that or something?)

You always bash Netscape. Are you in love with Bill Gates?
Ever since Windows 3.1 I have been planning to make Bill Gates my boyfriend. At around the same time, Netscape killed my brother and I will have my revenge.

Do you have a boyfriend now?
Bill Moyers, Howard Zinn, and Noam Chomsky. Bruce Willis was on that list years ago, but I broke it off at the premiere of Armageddon right after the scene that had him pelting the environmentalists from his oil rig. I told him I'd had enough of him subliminally trying to ingrain right-wing propaganda into the minds of the unsuspecting public.

UPDATE: Mel Gibson is still upset that I've stopped returning his phone calls. (I seriously think he's on the verge again.)

What does a "geographer" do? What is geography?
Couldn't you have asked me an easier question? Like, "What is the meaning of life?"

What is the meaning of life?
Life: the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body.

Wow, how do you know so much?
I'm a liberal elite.
