With the current climate of disdain for insurance companies, especially Blue Cross, I want to take a moment out and acknowledge the company with the balls to raise premiums 40% at one time.

Hey guys, a weekend at the lake sounds fun, but be aware of the dangers involved. Males are three times as likely to die from drowning and fireworks than females.
This summer don’t be a show-off, and leave the heavy duty fireworks to the professionals.

Thumbing through my LA Gay and Lezzie Film festival guide, I was forlorn to see a too-attractive wasp sitting at a typewriter wearing a white tee and Buddy Holly glasses with the word “HOWL” next to it and, moreover, the name “James Franco” under that. I say Goddamn! Put a hot guy in anything and gays will eat it up. Shit. Ginsberg wasn’t a hot Aryan, he was a handsome Jew. James Franco is a mere showpiece, a tart. Where’s Jeff Goldblum when you need him?
It's fun to be a gay beat poet!
Great Aunt: She um…what do they call it…de-balled him?
Me: Emasculated him?
Great Aunt: Yes, that’s it.
Me: Word.
The Menendez Brothers: both of them.

I got pulled over by a cop today and dude asked me why I seemed irritated. I asked him if it was against the law to be irritated. It isn’t.
Upon receiving the news that the Northfield campus of Northfield Mount Hermon School would be sold, NMH alums (which includes me) were promised that the Northfield campus would go to something GOOD…NOT GOD.
I came to terms with the sale of the Northfield campus a few years ago. But to pound another nail in the cross, the campus has been sold to a crazy fanatical right-wing Christian company named fuckin’ Hobby Lobby. The campus is going to be turned into the home of C.S. Lewis College, a school named for the author of the Lion, Witch and whatever novels. Read their mission statement:
The College will be rooted in the historic Christian faith and so structured as to ensure its fidelity to that profession. It will be characterized by a firm commitment to “Mere Christianity,” and therefore be inclusive of Christians of all traditions. In the spirit of C.S. Lewis, the envisioned college will actively encourage opportunities to discover the vitality and profound relevance of the Christian faith as it is lived openly within the larger pluralistic setting of mainstream colleges and universities (more…)
