SOMETHING TO ADD TO THE WEDDING REGISTRY

I've decided that Scott and I really, really need one of these to make our Hebrew National's the very best they can be. [via leather egg]... [ Read More ]

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

It's been quite a month for gay rights. Canada is about to start recognizing gay marriages--not that "civil unions" separate-but-unequal crap, mind you, but actual maah-widge, that thing that bwings us togedder tooday ‹/Princess Bride›. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned all state sodomy laws in their 6-3 decision in Lawrence, and the wording of their decision seems to have purposely left open a door for... [ Read More ]

I'll Give You Something To Affirm!

It's tough for a liberal like me to come down against Affirmative Action, but what irks me about it is not the principle, but the preservation. When High-School Leftist Scott was introduced to the concept, he understood even then that this could only be digestible morally and constitutionally as a temporary adjustment measure, which would level the field to some satisfactory degree and then bow...

So Join Me As I Sing... Of An Activity That's Fun...

Like all lust-crazed individuals, I too was thrilled to hear about the Supreme Court's Latest Decision. I say, let us celebrate in song. Take it away, Roger! (Turn speakers on, but do NOT listen at work/school/church/library/mosque.)... [ Read More ]

Pretend to be Smart People

Pretend to be Smart People My latest boss has a huge CD collection. While I used to drive him around town, he insisted that we listen to his selections. Thankfully, over 90% of his taste in music is nothing short of fantastic. However, a few bad, bad things crept in. Lindsay Buckingham: Go Crazy. It appears that this album has become somewhat difficult to find,... [ Read More ]

Worthy Of A Good Tablet Smashing

CNN reports that Ugandan "rebels" of the LRA movement, known for mutilating villagers and conscripting children as soldiers and sex slaves, have kidnapped a busload of schoolchildren. And what is the over-arching goal of this brilliant, daring masterstroke of military cunning? To install rule in Uganda based on the Biblical Ten Commandments. Yep. Sex slaves, kidnappings, mutilations... just what the ol' C-10 form says, right?... [ Read More ]

A GUY NAMED FRANKENSTEIN WRITING ABOUT BIG GREEN MONSTERS? WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

An item on Paul Frankenstein's blog about The Hulk got picked up by Gawker, then the New York Daily News. Go, Paul!... [ Read More ]

AND NOW I'M BACK / TO LET YOU KNOW / I CAN REALLY SHAKE 'EM DOWN

No, I was not eaten by my cats, as some whippersnappers may claim. I've just been very very busy over the past month or so. Wedding preparations, especially when you're still working long hours and playing host to another wonderful trans-continental visit from the better half, are draining. Besides, I took a month-long break from blogging last summer, too. Seems to be a trend: sometimes... [ Read More ]

Good Night, Sweet Prince of Darkness

Brooke and I were saddened yesterday by the loss of actor William Marshall. We originally encountered Marshall during one of my delightful trips to Manhattan, during which I am often to be found prowling the channels while Brooke slaves away for Big Blue. This time, she came home, and I flipped over to Black Starz just in time to catch the first act of "Scream,... [ Read More ]

Motherfucking Obnoxious Little Baby on Board

I used to say that I hated children. But, after some careful soul-searching, I discovered that I was only partially correct. In truth, I hate other people's children. See, it isn't simply that children born not of my own familial stock are immediately disadvantaged, (although this is certainly true,) It's that I as a complete stranger have no control over their wretchedly awful behavior, whether...

The One Kind of Entry I DO Make Pretty Often

Haven't given up blogging just yet! I was, however, enjoying Brooke's fabulous hospitality in New York, and her laptop's going through a very difficult period at the moment. Today, I would start writing up a storm, but I have to get ready for Simon's graduation from High School. (Say congrats!) I promise I'll check in here again soon... if my freakishly powerful Vice City addiction... [ Read More ]
