Spring 2014 Interior: An Undisclosed DC Location
Speaker 1: Gentlemen and ladies, I know you're wondering why I have gathered you all here today. Well, just got a crazy idea. You know how the GOP is always claiming that Obamacare is a Trojan Horse? No, I don't get how the metaphor is supposed to fit either, do they mean dead horse maybe or...dunno, doesn't matter. Lock the door... Hear me out. What if we were to really do that Trojan…
LOOP-HOLE (Merriam Webster) An error in the way a law, rule, or contract is written that makes it possible for some people to legally avoid obeying it An ambiguity or omission in the text through which the intent of a statute, contract, or obligation may be evaded.
So last night during the 2nd presidential debate, Donald Trump scoffed at Hillary Clinton's suggestion that maybe it's time to let the system work like it's supposed to, reg…
Stop surrounding infant baby girls in all-pink-everything.
Stop buying girl toddlers play kitchens, tiny vaccuum cleaners and little plastic shopping carts.
Stop with the constant deluge of Disney princesses on every single item that a little girl uses in her day.
Stop eroticizing little girls.
Stop calling little girls who like math and science "nerds" or "geeks," even if you mean it lovingly.
Stop telling grade school girl…
Hey, Women,
Hi, how ya doing? So yesterday was weird, right? Two days before the second Presidential debate, an old tape surfaced that shows the Republican nominee bragging about how he forcefully gropes and kisses any woman that he finds attractive, married or not. Then the internet exploded. Why this latest pile of word vomit is worse than any other in his relentless spew, I couldn't say. Same shit, different day with this clown, innit? …

Oh boy, Clown Vomit, did you find the right music reviewer or what? You crazy cats either lucked out big time, or you did your homework and discovered my erstwhile fascination with acts such as Steamy Bohemians, Doctor Frog and Irritating Rainbow. ( Read More... )
Look, I get why everyone is gleefully clicking and sharing and tagging me. Did you see? You gotta see . I get it. In my circle I'm known to be a flag-waving, card-carrying, true-blue Generation X pop culture maven, my latchkey kid, TV-addled brain way overloaded with massive volumes of useless trivia in such subjects as Schoolhouse Rock , Spandex, when to use gel versus mousse, Madonna, Ronald Reagan's policies, the right way to make a mi…
There should be a word for what happens to your brain when you overhear a stranger say something so incomprehensible that it lodges in there, like a sliver of dumbness you can't extract.
You and this person pass each other on your way through your lives, they drop an enigmatic nugget on you and keep right on going, and then you think of that person. Like, forever.

The Lobster is a dark utopia/dystopia movie from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz. If you've seen it, or don't plan to ever see it but you have a keen interest in what it's all about, this is for you. If you haven't seen it but it's on your to-do list, click away, because this is full of spoilers. ***
Look, it's not up for debate. No "buts." Black Lives Matter. I cannot believe it's really necessary to explain that this awareness-driven slogan is not meant to imply " Only Black Lives Matter." That's not what it means at all. To take it as such is, frankly, a weird reaction and I have a few questions for you later. But first, let me be clear. Black Lives Matter means Black Lives Mattter Too . THIS IS A NATIONAL CR…
From ages 8 to 12, or from the self-titled debut to Diver Down , I was a Van Halen poseur. I pretended to like them. During this period I drew the band logo on my schoolbook covers, and I made my own shirt with an iron-on transfer from the Skate Odyssey shop (you had to get a baseball jersey for an iron-on transfer, or just don't even bother.) In reality I hated baseball jerseys and I couldn't have named one Van Halen song. Why all this p…
I love French and German for the supercharged bon mots that have no translation in English. Let's see, ten of my favorites... Ersatz Schadenfraude Klatch Dreck Blitzkrieg Rapport Malaise Deja vu Soupcon Esprit d'escalier Esprit d'escalier is a delightful term. Literally "stairway thoughts," that's when you think of a snappy comeback to a person who's just insulted or embarrassed you, but you think of it way too late, as in …
Near the end of our ten-year couplehood (but not our ongoing friendship) Hub and I had four cats. It was all my fault. I love cats. The antics of those little buggers made a bunch of excellent stories for my Diaryland diary, including the one reprinted here. It should be noted that Hub and I first met at age 14 backstage at a theatre and worked crew on many shows together. We both have a thing for theatre. Quality theatre.
