  • Cuddle Parties Arrive in Seattle

    Cuddle parties continue to develop: As I lay there, arms crossed over my chest as if in death, a strange man’s crotch pressed into my ass, I realized that it was probably the closest I’d get to M.I.T. in my life. Someone somewhere would be proud. I made a mental note to tell my mother…. […]

  • Weekend Report

    On Friday night Scott (from Patrick and Noah Show) and I made plans to go to dinner and then come over and work on getting my hardware up and running for podcasting. While we were Skype-ing, Fausto came in and said after much ceremonial ado, decided to join us at Caesar’s for mexican (whilst Ron […]

  • Bush NOLA Speech: Prime Theatrics

    As I’ve said to friends: this is part of the upswing to ensure Republicans can still clinch a 2006 mid-term election. Last night Bush spoke to the nation wearing a workshirt with sleeves rolled up. Obviously Karl Rove had just watched Evita and knew that the only way to show the President doing ‘hard work’ […]

  • Planned Parenthood Uses Protesters For Fundraising

    Planned Parenthood of Southern Pennsylvania has a fantastic idea to raise money and thwart protesters: You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for each protester… When protesters show up on our sidewalks [we] will count and record their number each day from October 1 through November 30, 2005. We will place a […]

  • Bush Presents to UN on Iran

    Sabre-rattling: The presentation has not been vetted through standard U.S. intelligence channels because it does not include secret material. One U.S. official involved in the briefing said the intelligence community had nothing to do with the presentation and "probably would have disavowed some of it because it draws conclusions that aren’t strictly supported by the […]

  • Vatican Continues to Scapegoat Gays

    Witch-hunts are as retro as rollerskates:  Catholic Church investigators tasked by the Vatican to review US seminaries will be looking for "evidence of homosexuality" and for professors who dissent from Church teaching according to a New York Times report. Assholes. Gay does not equal pedophile. And what about that whole – ya know – goddamn […]

  • Patrick, Noah and Scott

    Huge thanks to Patrick, Noah and Scott for allowing me to guest star on their podcast, The Patrick and Noah Show (soon to be the PNS Explosion which sounds to me like ‘penis explosion’). Grab the audio here, y’all.

  • Pentagon Revises Nuclear Plans to Include Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike

    Yeah. Pre-emptive nuclear strikes sounds like an absolutely fantastic idea: The draft, dated March 15, would provide authoritative guidance for commanders to request presidential approval for using nuclear weapons, and represents the Pentagon’s first attempt to revise procedures to reflect the Bush preemption doctrine.

  • Cynthia McKinney's Impeachment Remarks Stricken from Congressional Record

    This sounds dangerous- Cynthia McKinney mentioned impeachment on the House Floor: I mentioned the word impeachment on the House Floor Thursday late afternoon, but I don’t see it in the official Congressional Record transcript. I was chided by the Speaker that it was out of order to question the President’s motives… This transcript directly from […]

  • Burger Purse

    I accompanied Brigitte to the Anti-Cruelty Society to help her choose out a kitty of her own. She selected Simon (or Sam – we’re not sure what his real name is) who is a 2 year old black long-hair kitty whose previous owner had passed away. To celebrate we had big-ass lunch at Jury’s complete […]
