  • 1000 Reasons to Vote Against George Bush

    I only need one. One housand reasons to not vote for George W. Bush. In fairness – 40 Reasons to Vote For Bush (or Against Kery)

  • Downward Slide

    A good friend is going through an amazingly hellish break-up. It’s two guys – the one that was on the receiving end of the break-up is in an absolute downward spiral. He’s been hospitalized for a week after threatening to kill himself. He’s done an ‘I’m HIV+’ false alarm and many other antics He’s lost […]

  • Living Example

    Very excited. I figured out how to use the cheap wireless access here at the coffeeshop – only 7 bucks for a month of access – I can tell you right now I’ll be camped out here until my DSL turns back on. It is fun to watch people go by. Sat and talked with […]

  • WaPo on Shitty Pre-War Reporting: Oops, Our Bad

    An examination of the paper’s coverage, and interviews with more than a dozen of the editors and reporters involved, shows that The Post published a number of pieces challenging the White House, but rarely on the front page. There was an attitude among editors: Look, we’re going to war, why do we even worry about […]

  • America's First Gay Governor

    What a double-header! First the 4,000 same-sex marriages in San Fran were voided by the Cali Supremes and then, New Jersey governor Jame McGreevey resigns with: My truth is that I am a gay American. Shamefully, I engaged in adult consensual affairs with another man, which violates my bonds of matrimony. You know this never […]

  • Why Men Dislike Men

    Hugo has a great post on masculinity and identity: The problem is, most adult men are unwilling to reach out to each other, wounded as we often still are by memories of long ago. Eventually, we may find friends of our own sex — but we tend to see them as exceptions to the rule. […]

  • Fox Cancels AVP Premiere

    (via Defamer) It’s never a good sign when a studio cancels the premiere of a film they’ve spent buckets of money promoting, but it happened this week. Reason one, and this is the most common one: the film sucks so bad that the studio doesn’t want anybody to see it in advance so that negative […]

  • XHTML Gets Me Hot

    It may be due to the recent flux and chaos in my world that I feel like retreating to the precision of semantic XHTML. I know it makes me a huge geek but I sat here for a half hour re-planning my blog in full, compliant, semantically-constructed XHTML. Here’s what I have so far. DIVs […]

  • D & D Book Confiscated Aboard Ferry

    A fanboy/gamer is aboard the ferry in New York and is threatened with having one of his gamebooks confiscated: (via BoingBoing) Confiscating someone’s gun or bomb is for my safety. Parhaps confiscating someone’s pocketknife or nailfile may be for my safety. What’s so damn dangerous about my book?”

  • Red Means Bad

    I was in a meeting with a volunteer organization I work with and they had let us see the financials from the previous few months. One lady piped up to say how excited she was to see $147,700 as the grand total. And that it was in red. Which means it’s really good and they […]
