I remember growing up (this would have been 1974 to 1980) in a neighborhood where there were many other kids my age (or at least within a few years).  I knew them all and my folks knew their parents.  It really was the neighborhood as a whole that raised us and watched out for us.
I […]

If ever there were a time I was sick of the media, now would probably be it. The pandering and coddling going on these days just to get the interview is sickening. What ever happened to asking the hard questions and demanding the honest answers?
Republicans blame the New York Times and CBS […]

Okay. The time has come. I’ve hidden this part of my life for far too long. I’m coming out of the closet. The pain and shame of hiding this very intimate side of my life has been just too much to bear.

Okay, I’ll admit, I just can’t pass up any chance to share Bushism’s.  What can I say?  The man’s a goldmine of unintelligence!  And to think, this is the ignoramous who 54 million people voted for and now has his remedial finger on the very scary button.
Enjoy these gems and remember, he speaks for and […]

Whenever straight guys are working on any type of inside or outside-the-house projects, there is always that special tool they’ll […]

Ever feel like people expect more out of you if you’re gay and working on a new project? As if to say,”You’re the gay guys…aren’t your people supposed to be clever and creative?”
Look, just because we have great fashion sense (for the most part), can make a fabulous centerpiece out of left over […]

I’ve been patient. Sure, I’ve had several chances to speak my mind about the neoconservative efforts to throw gays to the electoral lions. And belive me when I say, I’ve only posted the relatively clean versions.
Fuck that. Oh, and to those who write me about my not seeing the bigger picture of […]

Shit
Sort of rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Like “War President” or “Decider”.
Why is everyone so surprised our President uttered such a word - albeit candidly - in a setting so trivial as a G8 summit?
Let’s examine this word…shall we???

The following piece is the work of an anonymous source. Anonymous because no one really seems to know who wrote the list. I did, however, add the “Dear Senator Brownback”. Then I mailed and emailed it to Brownback’s office.

Dear Senator Brownback:
