Chelsea Clinton went to my gay bar.

When I used to live in Philly I frequented Woody’s, the biggest and most known of Philly’s gay bars. One thing to know about Philly: they don’t fuck around. Unlike some of the more manicured gay haunts of New York and San Francisco, Woody’s was unabashedly trashy. Wednesday nights were “chicken night,” in honor [...]

And I Am Telling You…

Hillary Clinton has now officially said that no matter what happens she is staying in the race until the convention 5 months from now. She is now essentially depending on the credentials committee to swing it her way at the convention. Unfortunatley for her, the credentials committee will be made up almost entirely of Obama [...]

Side projects.

My roommate Matthew and I have started a blog about the breakfast burritos at Cafe Shane in Brooklyn and how much we love them. ShanesBreakfastBurritos.wordpress.com will explore the ups and downs of ordering, picking up and then consuming the eponymous breakfast delight. We’ll also be blogging on days when we don’t order a Shane’s Breakfast [...]

I feel a little better about the world ending, like maybe it might not.

Just listened to the exceptionally-produced RadioNation with Laura Flanders to a great interview with Bill McKibben. If you’re new to the tree-hugging, he’s a lovely writer and legendary in many ways and always has an interesting take on consumption; he’s also a big player in the efforts to slow/stop global warming, which is good because [...]

This arms smuggler is kind of hot.

He’s 22 and managed to get a $300 million contract to supply ammunition to Afghanistan. I guess I like bad boys. I wouldn’t mind Efraim Diveroli every other Saturday from 3-4 in the prison trailer.

Why Wont You Just Be Gay!

Being gay is not a choice. It is something you are born with, or for the unfortunate souls such as myself, not born with. Lord knows I have tried to choose gaynees. Oh, how I’ve tried! Unfortunatley, on the great bell curve that is human sexuality, I am far closer to Gene Simmons than I [...]

New Evidence Suggests Pandas Went to My High-School

In China, pandas are watching panda porn to try and get revved up to make babies:

Clearly, we now know that pandas are actually human male teenagers. The evidence:
1. Pandas are loners, and usually only bang during a three day mating season (homecoming weekend) so breeders are facilitating familiarization exercises to acquaint them with [...]

Emails of the week.

Highlight #1: Since I work for a somewhat outspoken liberal magazine, sometimes we get hate mail. I once was left a graphic, racially-tinged, 6-minute message about what “Bill” in San Antonio wanted to do to one of our columnists. Another time someone called to tell me that if my magazine was so sure the NAFTA [...]

Video of World Ending Ice-Shelf Breaking

The drama is heightened, of course, by the presence of a British news anchor:
 

 
That’s crazy shit. I still feel bad that the world is ending but I “laughed out loud” etc. when I read the first commenter: “That is completely false. Global warming is false. So are glaciers. So is ice. I get so angry [...]

Poll: 28% Of Hillary Supporters, 19% Of Obama Supporters are Fucking Idiots.

A new poll finds that 28% of Hillary supporters and 19% of Obama supporters would vote for McCain in the general election if their candidate isn’t the nominee. Are you fucking kidding me? Has anyone read McCain’s fucking positions on the issues? My guess is no.
For some unknown reason people see John McCain as some [...]
