It is entirely possible, in 2009, to be a very nice person and at the same time to hate or fear gay people.  I get it; we’re scary and weird and all that.  If you grew up with a certain code of beliefs and never met any faggots until they became ubiquitous on the Teevee [...]

It wasn’t even a debate, structurally or otherwise.  They didn’t really talk to one another.  I like Joy Behar and always have, but I don’t know that she’s the best moderator, disingenuous with her biases–in other clips I’ve seen, she’s certainly guilty of those smug I-get-the-last-word-because-I’m-the-host asides.   (She also told Joe the Plumber that [...]

It’s one of only six states I’ve never been to, and it’s the new capital of crazy.  As the South comes unhinged from the rest of the country, SC is in the vanguard.
This is so bizarre I don’t know what to say.  You have to be so deliberately unworldly, so absolutely convinced that all of [...]

One of the ways in which Judaism is superior to Christianity (and Catholicism rates fairly well among denominations) is that Jews almost never proselytize.  At most, they look for fallen Jews–I remember a few times in Washington Square Park being asked by teenage boys in hats and carrying some branches if I was Jewish, but [...]

One of my ancillary ambitions (after getting to all 50 states before I turn 30; 17 months and 6 to go) is to visit all 58 United States National Parks.  There are hundreds and hundreds of places, in dozens of different categories, that fall under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, including the Presidio [...]

Apparently, they’re adopting liberals now.  Christianity just gets better and better all the time.  I’m sure I don’t qualify on grounds of extreme obscurity, but it’s only a matter of time before “the far left” encompasses everyone to the left of Fred Phelps.  It’s become an infinitely elastic accusation.  George W. Bush [...]

It’s still technically summer until early next week (and in SF today it’s motherfucking hot outside) so there is still ample time for a number of famous people to kick it.  Something was in the air this year, tampering with the law of averages and mowing down one well-known person after another.  You could argue [...]

This might be one of the more controversial opinions I have: there is a constitutional right to bear arms.  It is unambiguous and expansive.  Let me now temper the fury no doubt raging in the vast reaches of the blogosphere upon hearing that remark by saying that God is for the retardant and gay marriage [...]

And I thought of this:

It’s for Runners World.  Tell me those gams ain’t running all the way to 2012!
Also, can that possibly be real?  The shadow of the wall sconce and Palin’s own shadow don’t make any sense.  Shitty Photoshopping, or inside joke?
