Fer or Agin

Friday, March 7th, 2008

The first presidential election where I was eligible to vote was in 1996. Clinton vs. Dole.
I remember going into the school and being a little surprised at how it felt a little trailer park to be drawing the two-dollar shower curtain to cast my vote. I mean, I was there to vote for [...]

He Died With His Boots On

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

By the time you read this, the blogs throughout blogosphere will be as inflamed with the news of Heath Ledger’s death as a hooker’s snooch is with the clap. Particularly blogs by gay men and fourteen year old girls (and others who are fans of Brokeback Mountain or A Knight’s Tale).

While good ol’ [...]

Niggas and Homos and Jews, Oh My!

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

This photo is part of a project by the handsome Kelly at “Rambling Along in Life With A Stern Point of View.” In honor of PRIDE 2007, he has challenged other bloggers to post the image to celebrate diversity and I wanted to take part. (I’m up for a couple of other challenges [...]

Stating It

Friday, June 1st, 2007

A couple of weeks ago, the White House held a State Dinner in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s visit to the US. The guest list, which included all the major Republican cronies (and idiot of the moment, Elisabeth Hasselbeck) also included my boy, Peyton Manning.
