Las Vegas is a beautiful woman in skin-tight clothing, who, upon closer inspection, is actually a mannequin in heavy makeup smoking a Pall Mall and holding a colostomy bag.
For me, the city has lost all of it’s luster, and I can’t tell if that’s borne of my somehow maturing or if it’s the simple fact [...]
Maybe you’re interested in the 2010 Winter Olympics, and maybe you’re not, but I think we’ve all seen the footage of the Georgian Luger ending his 90MPH practice run within a space of a couple of inches, courtesy of the gigantic, unpadded steel poles conveniently located right next to the finish line. 21 years old, [...]
I did what I was supposed to do, after all of Haiti fell down. I examined my skill sets, and, realizing that I was not qualified as a search and rescue expert, and I’m not a medical or health care professional, the only thing I could possibly do was get off of my wallet and [...]
Don’t you ever forget/don’t you ever fucking forget
So went the song Hiroshima by Todd Rundgren’s on again/off again project, Utopia, from one their album Ra, which was released sometime in the late ‘70’s. Todd Rundgren, who did a lot more than Hello It’s Me, was one of Mom’s favorites all throughout the 70’s and 80’s. [...]
So, that’s three posts in a row about Christians, and it’s ponderous, fucking ponderous. No more wasting anyone’s time, unless the fundamentalists infringe on education, public policy, etc.

I shuddered, because when people die in grain bins, it’s usually because they got trapped in the grain itself, and suffocated in the oats, wheat, [...]
I was recently asked what I’m looking for, and I in turn responded with that most irritating of answers, another question. Thing is, I was asking that question of myself. Said I, “well, what’s important to me?” What is at the core of who I am, and what will bring me to peace? Nothing, probably, [...]
So here we are, second week of August, and the time of year that I love referring to as “high summer.” I don’t know why that term speaks to me the way it does. Perhaps “high” corresponds to where the corn is just about now, and when you think about summer in Ohio, the corn [...]
I’ve never liked Tim Tebow, for a lot of reasons. For one, I don’t have to like him. Two, he’s an SEC quarterback. Three, he’s a University of Florida quarterback. Four, I don’t like the way he plays quarterback. And five, he’s one of those fundamentalists that thinks that means something in and of itself, [...]
For those of you that don’t watch sports on ABC or ESPN, or rather, for those of you that aren’t men that watch sports on that family of networks, Erin Andrews is probably the most popular of the female sideline reporters these days. She’s very attractive, young-looking, and takes a very serious approach to her [...]
