Once upon a time, in a magical land called Brooklyn, I got very drunk and ended up having a passionate discussion about Christopher Pike with someone I had just met. There were two dudes at the table, and one other lady. I don’t know what we had been discussing before – politics? – but I […]

… this would be a good idea? Because you wouldn’t have to listen to me yelling about this business for the next four to eight years, that’s why. I know he’s probably not going to get it; still, the fact that he was even considered is gross. (“Dump our toxic waste in Africa, you say? […]

I don’t know how to speak about Prop 8 yet. (Maybe I shouldn’t try? Ha, what are the chances of that?) It is not an unfamiliar thing to me, this vote, nor is the thinking behind it. If you want a really ugly look at the place where I grew up, check this out: A […]

Williamsburg hipsters? Or aging Williamsburg hipsters? I just don’t know any more: Hahaha, “START A POLITICAL THEATER GROUP! MARX, BRECHT APPALLED, LAUGH FROM THE HEAVENS.” Come to our house, young hipsters! We will explain why all your newfangled music and activism is so much less hip than our music and activism, which took place in […]
