Tiger Woods has the long-awaited apology the press and scandal-hungry Americans have been waiting for. Thank you Mr. Woods for coming clean, although you really didn’t need to. You cheated on your wife. You’ve obviously been participating in a recovery program similar to mine. You appear to be putting your life back [...]

I wonder if the people of Hawaii get worried when they see a bunch of rich white guys hanging out. Being tourist paradise, it would probably be more appropriate to say a BIGGER bunch of rich white guys than usual. The Republican National Committee winter organizational meeting is being held in Honolulu and [...]

I went to the Opera once. I don’t even remember what it was. It was shortly after I’d seen the Who in the fifth row and so I couldn’t hear too well, even though I was in the fifth row at the opera. Even though it was sung in English (a real no [...]

It occurred to me, as the New York State Senate recently choked on its historic opportunity to provide equal rights to my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters, that the problem people are having with gay marriage is the word “marriage.” We hear lots of talk about “preserving the institution of marriage” (bullshit) and [...]

Here they are, in no particular order.

Ever wake up in the morning when you could be sleeping in, or trying to get to sleep at night but some dumb fucking song just keeps going through your head. Usually you only know, like, a few words of it and those are the ones that keep looping over and over?
Welcome to my [...]

Okay… I’ll admit, I’m not much of a theologian. I’m not even Christian… but I think Jesus was a cool dude. I love the way the guy thought, and I think if more of us lived the way he supposedly told us to, we’d all be much the better off for it. [...]
