So I quit my job. Mostly because I hated it. I’m doing the freelance thing right now, in part because I just can’t get excited about working a full time job and in part because I won’t have the time when school starts in August.
I thought that when I quit, I’d have more time to [...]
‘Tis the season to be fabulous. Pride celebrations are going on all over the country. Every year someone asks the question, “Is Pride relevant?” Someone complains that it doesn’t adequately represent his “normal,” suburban life.

“Ummm…I’m a web developer.”
“I see. Well, you look successful, so I thought I’d ask and see if it would help me [...]
I read in USA Today yesterday that in Florida children must declare a “life major” before entering high school, thanks to a new law recently signed by Jeb Bush.1 What a phenomenal load of crap. Kids don’t have enough life experience to be making decisions like that at such a young age. Most people don’t [...]
Over at Center of Gravitas GayProf pens a thoughtful entry on the pressures of being gay and how social and political pressures lead gays to become masters of reading a situation and evaluating the safety or necessity of being honest.

Ann Coulter says what she says for attention. No one would know or care who she is if she didn’t do the ideological Tourette’s act. Maybe she realizes what a freak she’s become and is milking it. Maybe she’s not qualified to do anything else but throw poop at the spectators.
