I. Am. In. No. Mood.
Remarked by me this morning as I was dealing with a “crisis” around the office: I am having a ‘fat day’. And you do not want to mess with a single gay man in his mid-30s having a ‘fat day’,...

video: 430 Crucial Voting Blocks
With The Onion delivering a weekly paper to the DC area, I often forget to check the online site these days, but I subscribed to the TiVo-provided podcast and still get their videos. I usually talk politics with Michael and...
Am I the baddest mo-fo, low-down, around this town?
This gave me a good chuckle on the way to the metro this morning. But to the dude handing out the DC Examiner free daily at Columbia Heights… ease up! I know you’re dressed better than the guy handing out...

The first step…
Ok, I admit it, I have a problem. I heard a catchy tune while out drinking and it’s now stuck in my head. I’m not really ashamed by this… really! But it is a song by the Pussycat Dolls, “When...
Card: tolerant government = ‘my mortal enemy’?
This is making the rounds a bit today and has been since the editorial was published. Orson Scott Card, popular ❓ sci-fi writer, who has included homosexual characters in his books ‘to create real and living characters’ is really quite...
The (economic) power of prayer?
I wrote about Pray At The Pump about a month ago, and now they’re claiming victory. They believe their prayers have actually caused the price of gas to drop: “We were down in Huntsville, Alabama. We finished praying,” Mr Twyman...
