New Burgers at BJ — oops, I mean BK
Now, I’m not against BJs. But I am against horrifically objectifying advertising. And the constant scheme to clog the arteries of all Americans — I’m convinced it’s the doing of the Taliban. And really, calling a phallic sandwich a Seven Incher? That’s sooooo two-thousand-and-lame. (See what I did there? It’s not even two-thousand-and-late, it’s just two-thousand-and-lame. [...]

Nixon: Interracial babies/ rape = same thing.
This pissed me off so much, that it brought me out of blogging hibernation. “There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white.

Sports Illustrated: Awesome unless you’re a gay dude
Over at one of my all-time favorite blogs ever in life Shakesville, Arkades is writing a series about gender and sexual identity, and all that good stuff.

Just a little tip. I don’t know if anyone’s planning on traveling anytime soon, but I’ve been monitoring flights for the past month, from LA to NY. They’ve been hovering around $300, so I’ve been holding off. Today I checked Virgin America, and fees went down like $60. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, [...]

I’m Kinda in Love with Meghan McCain
Posted on 28 April 2009
I gotta admit, I usually don’t fall for rich blond Republicans — country clubs make me uneasy. I’m much more attracted to people with darker features and a pocket full of liberal conspiracies. But there’s something about a certain GOP daughter that makes me want to be BFFs…who cuddle on occasion. I’ve broken down [...] Continue Reading

Is N.Y. next with marriage equality?
Posted on 20 April 2009
Spending five years on Long Island and four years in Oswego, NY has made me a little cynical — especially after spending my childhood, as well as holidays, summers, and weekends in Queens, and realized anywhere outside of the five boroughs might as well be either Connecticut or Ohio. I thought New York would be [...] Continue Reading
