The AFA—American Family Association, a Mississippi based anti-gay group—has called off its nine year boycott of Disney. Theorectically, it is because of “‘positive signs’ that the company had moved away from its ‘arrogance’ and ‘embrace of the homosexual lifestyle.’” This weekend marks the 15th anniversary of Gay Day at Disney World. Oops. A little backsliding [...]
I think everyone in politics now has been affected by the linguistic sleight-of-hand, which began with the Kennedys in the 1960s, in which politics is called “public service,” and politicians are allowed and even urged to call themselves “public servants.” …
People who charge into burning towers are heroic; nuns who work with the poorest [...]

Britteny Spears has been dethroned as the Queen of Marriage Travesty. All hail Mary Kay Letourneau. Long live the Queen.
In case you don’t remember Mary Kay, she is the elementary school teacher who, at the age of 34, seduced a 12 year old student, was twice impregnated by said student and served 7.5 years [...]
I don’t want to be lonely no more
I don’t want to have to pay for this
I don’t want to know the lover at my door

I don’t want [...]
I don’t know that I have been articulating my feelings about Social Security well enough. I recently read a piece from The Washington Post that put the main issue for me into stark relief.

Just read still another article on Social Security. I really have no idea what we should do with Social Security and frankly I’m starting not to care. Here’s the long and the short of my feelings on Social Security.
I resent it. Period. The debate is raging about IOUs and faith in our government to repay [...]
If one more person asks me, “How come you’re single? You’re so cute,” I think I am going to have to kill them and may God have mercy on my soul.
What a stupid [multiple expletives deleted] question. I don’t even know how to answer that anymore.
“Just unlucky I guess.”
“It takes two to tango.”
“Because the world [...]
A left leaning friend of mine has been trying to educate me on the Social Security dilemma. OK. He’s not left leaning. If he leaned any more left he’d fall over. His issue with progressive indexing is a social one. Currently Social Security is a universal program. Everyone pays in. Everyone gets benefits. Implementing [...]
I’m getting really tired of all the pissing and moaning on the left about Social Security reform. I’m not talking about the “is it broke and need to be fixed” debate (though it seems that the left wants to fix the “nonexistent” shortfall problem in the usual manner—raise taxes.) No, what really irritates me is [...]
