For the longest time, it seemed that all the young men I saw were ashamed of their bodies. All you ever saw them wearing were pants that were six times larger than required. Unflattering to say the least, especially for those of us with an eye for fine physiques. Or even some not so fine,… Continue reading Male Fashion

What have you done for me lately?
Lots of democrats, and more than a few republicans are having a great deal of fun thrashing this years slate of republican nominees for the 2012 presidential election. I’ve done my part as well, posting about the two republican front-runners, listing their stances on the issues. Interestingly enough, I hear a lot of negative talk… Continue reading What have you done for me lately?
Jim Crow ain’t really dead
I grew up in South Florida, in the late 1950’s, through the early 1970’s when I finally left the South for service in the U.S. Navy. As a small child, I clearly remember seeing water fountains and restrooms segregated, with signs marked “colored only”. I was a freshman in high school in 1969 before I… Continue reading Jim Crow ain’t really dead
Wait a minute, and Mitt will change his mind ….
The other day, I posted my opinion about Rick Santorum. I promised I’d post a similar piece about Mitt Romney, so I suppose I have to put out some effort and go figure out what I really think about the man. Although I’m a registered Democrat, I’m actually more of an Independent and often will… Continue reading Wait a minute, and Mitt will change his mind ….
Johnny can’t read
…and neither can he do much of anything else, but he has a really great self-image and thinks he deserves nothing but the best and that all he has to do is show up and the world is his oyster. If you are a girl, substitute Georgette (or some other feminine name you like) for Johnny. I… Continue reading Johnny can’t read
If Santorum were President …
…would it really be all that bad for Gays, Lesbians, Women and the liberal young America as people are thinking? Rick Santorum thinks that: Abortion should be outlawed even in cases of rape and incest Capital Gains taxes should be locked in, and in some cases corporate income tax eliminated A lot of regulations enacted… Continue reading If Santorum were President …
Half the world has a penis ….
One of my favorite Showtime series is the american adaptation of the original British series “Shameless”. As with Showtimes treatment of Queer as Folk, the american version is a bit more lurid, a bit grittier, and a whole lot of fun to watch. One of the characters, Carl, possibly 11, or 12 made a statement… Continue reading Half the world has a penis ….
A Nation of Control Freaks
Read an outstanding article today on Yolo about America becoming a nation of Control Freaks. Its a scary piece that should be something from an Orwell novel, but instead has sadly become reality. We have become a nation of “not in my backyards” where we legislate against everything to the point of absolute silliness. Its… Continue reading A Nation of Control Freaks
Facebook Sucks
There are 845 million users on Facebook. I’m one of them, although for the past year I’ve come close to cancelling my account a dozen times. I suppose I stay on there because it’s the only way I ever hear from some of my relatives anymore. Although a repost of someone elses wall photo, or the… Continue reading Facebook Sucks
