Honestly, I’ll take Elliott Spitzer and his $5000/hour escort or David Paterson and his wife’s skeletally endowed closet over this candidate for City Council.
For Chrissake (I always like using that one!), the man is running for office. You’d think he could pee in a toilet and masturbate in the shower like all other grown men, [...]
So, this is what we’ve come to.
The new governor of New York just aired his personal and somewhat dirty laundry for the public in an effort to head of any future scandal. As is common these days, his wife was by his side. But as isn’t too common these days, she admitted to her failings [...]
I’m not a violent person. I’m fiery and definitely need to blow off steam when I become agitated but that is why God invented the treadmill, Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs, Italian-made stilettos and sex. I’m thankful for these positive outlets because without them, I might be prone to hurling large objects at my husband’s head each time he insists on jumping up and down on my [...]
“As a society, we pay a price for our silence. Unchallenged personal, cultural, and institutional racism results in the loss of human potential, lowered productivity, and a rising tide of fear and violence in our society. Individually, racism stifles our own growth and development. It clouds our vision and distorts our perceptions. It alienates us [...]
I stood looking down at the names on my ballot for almost ten minutes before pressing my pen to the paper, hard, where I made small but determined circular motions with my hand as I filled in the bubble. I folded my ballot in half, tucked it into the envelope, licked and sealed it and [...]
Okay. So.
One of my other friends who was at brunch with me on Sunday, wrote a lovely piece describing things from her persepective. She, too, is filled with angst over this decision. Please check out what she’s written (and don’t miss her sister, Tay’s, fantastic follow-up response in the comments section).
Then, to cause further agony, the same friend who I [...]
I ventured out against wind and rain yesterday to enjoy brunch with a few girlfriends who I don’t get to see as often as I would like, due primarily to the amazingness of each of them and their subsequent high demand by others. Of course, I’m busy too, but it’s not because I’m needed at [...]
The first headline I saw on the NYTimes homepage this morning as I was savoring my IV caffeine drip first cup of coffee, was this over here. Did you see the accompanying photo? I’m sure it’s perfectly normal and fine and not in any meaningful way imapcting on the young boy to view that.
Then, [...]
During the State of the Union, while our Emperor was lying and lying and not saying much and then lying again—the success of No Child Left Behind was the one that caused us to choke on our body shots, give up the drinking game altogether and resort to snorting crushed vicodin off of Ella’s [...]
I’ve always had trouble with the word “ironic” and it’s various forms. I recently used it improperly in a column and didn’t realize it until a fellow columnist, the original Ed Decker, so kindly pointed out my mistake. He likes to do that. Point out my flubs, always after I go to press because he’s [...]
