Movin’ On Up
I am pleased to report I have been following my heart and pursuing my dreams and making strides at becoming a writer. My work on the Open Salon group blogging project has been getting positive reaction and I have enjoyed the happy consequence of making new and interesting friends in the bargain. Salon’s editors promise […]
How Low Can You Go?
This post was originally published at OpenSalon, a beta-test group blogging project of Salon Media.
I’m going to think out loud, if you don’t mind. I’ve been ruminating on something for a while now and I would like to indulge the openness and apparent civility of this forum to throw some very incompletely formed ideas against […]
That Didn’t Take Long
ABC News reports Miley Cyrus, Disney’s most recent pre-pubescent cash cow, is officially “embarrassed” by photographs set to appear in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, in which the 15 year-old star of Disney’s hit TV show “Hannah Montana” appears clutching a satin sheet to her naked breast.
Framed in festive graphics with bubblegum hues of […]
Reinventing Myself
Spring is time to refresh and renew, time for cleaning and clearing and starting over. This season, I’m taking the concept beyond the closet and the garage, beyond even the many rooms of my own internal mansion, and have embarked on a path I first imagined taking as a lad in school, when I […]
The Sound of Breaking Glass
America loves nothing more than a sex scandal.
A collective peek up the panty-free skirt of a Former Teen Idol or a glimpse of nipple through the diaphanous gown of This Year’s Model beats the Comeback Victory, the Shaggy Dog, and the Horatio Alger story every time for getting the attention of the caffeine-fueled ADHD citizens […]
Who Loves Ya, Baby?
The true origins of celebrating the notion of romantic love on February 14 are not well documented, though the exchange of elaborate, handmade gifts between paramours was well established by the middle of the eighteenth century in England, and began to really take off in the United States once Esther Howland (herself now considered something […]
Choosing Sides
Steven Stills wrote half a lifetime ago: “there’s battle lines being drawn.”
Tuesday, in a hearing room convened by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Georgia Republican Representative Lynn Westmoreland — apparently no relation to the General of Vientam era fame — distilled American anti-war sentiment to a critique by people who “[don’t] like companies […]
This ‘N That
Full Disclosure: I’d just like to get another post in the books before July is out, though not for any lack of things to note or discuss.
I’m mindful of the New Year’s intention I had to post more regularly this year, but it’s not working out that way. C’est la vie.
Is speaking French […]
Does This Make Me Look Fat?
Well, the procession is in full march now, friends and neighbors.
The procession, that is, in which the stark-naked Emperor goes out among his people to seek their fawning compliments on his new clothes.
We’re past the point at which all those subjects fearful of being thought “stupid or unfit for his post” […]
Crisis? What Crisis?
Seems like all I’ve done on this blog in recent weeks is moderate spam.
So much has transpired in the fields of my interest, so far as they might be gleaned here, anyway — and yet I’ve not managed even the blithest, most superficial take on the events comprising the collapse of the Bush administration and […]
