All Tuckered Out

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Okay, I’ve been noticing a trend. Is there some sort of rule that if you get a particular name, you must earn a black belt in douchebaggery? Exhibit 1: Tucker Bounds, spokesperson for John McCain. Exhibit 2: Tucker Carlson, crappy conservative-leaning TV pundit Exhibit 3: Scott Tucker, Log Cabin Republican apologetic [C]an we please stop [...]

So let me see if I’ve got this straight…

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Sheesh, I take a week off from politics and the whole world goes ka-boom. Let me see if I’ve got the last week wrapped up in my head: The economy is collapsing. So far John McCain has: suggested that the fundamentals are still strong, threatened to fire the chair of the SEC, realized he couldn’t [...]

Quote of the Day

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Wow, that was shocking. I never would have guessed. This is the biggest surprise since Liberace. Middle America must be beside itself with people whispering in diners, “If Clay can be gay, it can happen to anyone.” Congratulations, Mr. Aiken! All kidding aside, we love you at this page. Welcome out! -Wayne Besen, Truth Wins [...]

Two Nobodies in New York

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Well, I leave tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn. It’s been an amazing week and may rival only my trip to Disney World for Gay Days as the best vacation I ever took. I caught up with old friends, spent quality time with my best friends, checked out law schools, saw the sights, caught [...]

Chelsea Nights

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

The last two days have been quite the whirlwind of activity. I loved my tour of NYU, and I got to spend some time almost one-on-one with a current student who answered a lot of my questions in ways that put me at ease. Frankly, I don’t know what I’m going to do if I [...]

New York State of Mind

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I love riding the train. That said, a 17-hour trip that was 2 hours behind schedule was a bit much. It would have been okay, except the train was crowded enough that I had to share a row with someone until Washington DC (roughly 3/4 of the way), so it was hard to get any [...]

Last Minute Errands

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Well, despite some moments of financial panic and self-doubt, I’ll be keeping my scheduled trip to New York City tomorrow. It’s part business (checking out law school campuses) and part vacation (vacation from what? Not being employed? Well, I can party with the ex-Lehman crowd!) and part early birthday celebration for Jennifer (who is now [...]

On Craigslist With the Lights Out

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Since approximately 620,000 of Duke Energy’s approx. 800,000 Tri-State customers are still affected by the power outages, the Governor has declared a state of emergency, and somehow Casa Diggs and our neighbors are watching Gossip Girl Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight, I feel it is my duty to report on the highlights of Craigslist for [...]
