ride at your own risk

people with HIV are being demonized (again. er, um maybe still.) recently, south dakota’s governor signed a bill that requires people convicted of intentionally spreading HIV to register as sex offenders. abroad in australia, prosecutors are demanding an HIV-infected male prostitute to be on sex offenders registry.
this is appaling for many reasons. first and [...]

Hillary’s Reverend Wright.

I kind of hate Elton John, mostly because whenever someone important dies (Ryan White, Princess Diana) he just replaces Norma Jean with their name in Candle in the Wind instead of writing something new and then sings it at the funeral and I think that’s tacky.
But today the evidence is mounting that Elton John [...]

Blowing Shit out of Proportion

So, a New York custodian started his late night shift cleaning up the residual gluttony of a regular day at Times Square, and then KABOOM! Barack Obama suporters went fundamentalist and blew up New York just like his cousin Osama. Ok not quite, but this lovely lady was kind enough to warn youtubers of the [...]

Do with me what you will, just spare the Macbook!

We can add another cliche to the “confirmed” list: men love their gadgets - apparently, even more than their faces. Super-congenial late night host (supposedly congenial? there are some rumors around town involving red wine, but we’ve all been there…) Charlie Rose broadcast Monday night sporting a shiner worthy of ten rounds with Holyfield.

Dear Crazy Christians: Leave my childhood alone.

America is Crazy for McCaingerous!

John McCain has the highest favorable and the lowest unfavorable ratings of all three major candidates running for president.
Yes, this is the same John McCain that thinks “the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion.” This is the same John McCain who thinks being in [...]

Lil’ Wayne, You’re on Notice!

I have been a life long supporter of the objectification of women, as well as the matching of one’s sneakers to one’s ballcap. However, there are certain music video trends which I simply refuse to get behind. I take particular issue with the latest pop-culture parody of American excess: stretch SUVs.
Lil’ Wayne has taken it [...]

Las Vegas Dispatch

At the Flamingo. Walked through the lobby. Construction worker conference in progress. Extremely large man at the bar. Tshirt emblazoned with a knockoff of a “Snapple” logo. He sort of looked like Wendy the snapple lady, actually, only Wendy the snapple lady if she was a man and an HVAC contractor. The text on his [...]
