… 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 want to hug them both. Mostly because I’m convinced that one of them was me and I had this conversation while drunk and then forgot about it. And also, somehow, was disguised to look like a college student (ha, NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE, for I am withered).

The Catholic Church has always had its problems: with the Ladies, the Gays, the People Who Use Birth Control, and the People Who Get Married More Than Once. (Hi, Mom!) They also have problems with the Left-Handed, by the way. Maybe this is not as much of a thing, but I recall being seven years […]

So, yes! This is apparently becoming a blog about people who write shitty things. Shitty things which make it to the Internet, no less!

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 […]

MARX, BRECHT APPALLED, LAUGH FROM THE HEAVENS.” Come to our house, young hipsters!

Is shopping! At least, that’s what Bust tells me today, in their think piece on the Great Obama Dress Scandal of ’08: The modified version of the Narcisco Rodriguez’s dress was showing off her confidence in not being pigeonholed into wearing those lame-ass, boring suit-dresses.

Ah, mandatory sexual harassment prevention training: is there anything more disastrous for one’s career? Probably not, says tenured professor of molecular biology Alexander MacPherson! In fact, it would be so disastrous for his career that he would rather lose his job than attend it: A molecular biologist at the University of California at Irvine faces […]

So, one reason for my continuing frustration with Blogger (okay, WordPress is better – there, I said it!) is that Google Analytics does not reliably keep track of the sites that link to one’s blog. I would like to be able to thank (and link back to) the people who link to me. That is […]
