Susie's as shocked as anyone that she found a Man of the Year, but she did. Christian Silbereis, a high school senior from Ann Arbor, Mich., wore a larger-than-life vagina costume to school for Halloween this year. The school staff was aghast and the student was suspended.

The whole situation reminds Susie of an old essay she wrote called "I Got This Way from Kissing Donahue" where she recounts her stint as a guest on a Phil Donahue Show.

Happy New Year! For her final program of the year, Susie takes another look at the sex story that kicked off 2004: Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction and the subsequent FCC crack down.

Susie says it's time for the voice of the many to rise up and drown out the prudes. Then, in her mailbag, Susie fillls the void.

Back in the news again is US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. And once more he's being scrutinized for his sexual habits. Surprisingly, Susie finds one thing she and Thomas have in common: their love of porn!
