I was going for “kindergarten teacher” with my look today, but I’m self-consciously realizing now that compared to the actual kindergarten teachers I succeeded rather at “perpetually spacey proprietor of a stained glass shop in Vermont,” which is not my job but hey that might be nice. There’s less overlap in the uniform than you might imagine. Tomorrow I’ll go back to slacks.

An Orthodox Jewish school high school basketball team in Texas lost its spot to play in state semi-finals.
And yet Christian groups in Texas (and elsewhere) are very accommodating when it comes to defending Israel and justifying big military budgets to bomb Iran. It’s fine to rearrange foreign policy for an interest group, but mess with basketball schedules and it...

I think if a guy had said this, there would probably be a big Internet throw-down. (If it’s true, however, I’m severely disappointed that my “Make the Observer Pink to Attract More Female Readers” hasn’t changed the ratio of male/female subscribers, which is still fairly dude-heavy.)
But I also think Pinterest’s success has more to do with early adoption by a certain cross section of...

I’ve been trying to keep the Art Fag City Rob Pruitt Art Awards and Auction updates from completely taking over the blog, but benefits are such an enormous undertaking that at some point you just give up and hope people will find them as fascinating as you do. I’m not exactly an unbiased source, but with the auction items we release today, I can’t imagine there being any question...

The saddest thing about Summer of Megadeth is that they will forever be relegated to this particular circle of internet hell. And sure, they could reblog this and tag it with some copy and paste sentence for a good chuckle, but it would only be a kind a masturbatory chuckle filled with even more sadness. The problem with Summer of Megadeth is that they’re all a bunch of assholes who...

“The average person who dislikes cats may have no conscious superstitions about them, but his dislike is informed with heavy emotional content. He is not content with a Doctor-Fellian attitude —‘the reason why, I cannot tell.’ He offers always numerous reasons for his dislike. These reasons for disliking cats, of course, are rationalizations, as for that matter are the reasons that...

In my family we tended to deal with domestic violence in one way: threatening anyone who was known to be violent with more violence. I understand cycles of violence and all that hippie shit, but my need to help you resolve your own victimhood stops when you determine the best way deal with it is to victimize others. Sorry. Stop a bully with a beatdown is generally as far as I get with...

Really disappointed Drew didn’t mention the night bandits stole my iPhone at Blarney Cove. To be fair, she was engrossed with erotic photohunt at the time.
