I am sitting in a coffee shop, hot and partially drunk on fake champagne, thinking how miserably warm it is outside, which any reasonable person knows is a ridiculous thing to complain about in October, when the rest of the country (real America?) is getting colder by the day. But I am not reasonable. Most… [Read more…]

I’ve heard many conservatives wonder why liberals assume they are stupid. The answer, to borrow a move from the Republican playbook, is guilt by association. The conservative base is comprised of the dumbest citizens of this fine nation (you know, the evangelicals). The fact that Republican candidates all pander to these fools, and hold up… [Read more…]

One of the most loathsome groups in America are the social conservatives. I think they are sheep that should be brought to slaughter. Short of that, they should be rounded up and dropped off in some red state, where they could all live together in an M. Night Shyamalan-like 1800s society. Among the many reasons… [Read more…]

Today I watched the SNL spoof on the McCain campaign ads that have been proven to be untrue, and the funniest part of the experience was the comments left by conservative viewers. The basic theme of their complaints was that SNL was biased in that it had made fun of every politician in this election… [Read more…]

I’m fortunate enough to work from home, and thus have had a lot of time for personal development. Over the… [Read more…]

I’m seriously concerned that I’ve forgotten how to flirt. I’ve been married now for almost three years, and being out of the game has definitely had a negative effect on my skills. Now, I’m not sure that I had amazing skills in the first place, but a remotely attractive female doesn’t really need to to… [Read more…]

“Bless me father for I have sinned. It’s been four and half months since my last cut and color.” This confession ran through my head this morning on the train, while I, unkempt and overgrown, sat across from a dead-sexy man on my way to the salon. Over the past four months, more has changed… [Read more…]

I’m a late-twenties married woman who’s been feeling old and lonely lately. Why? Because I’m starting to lose my single friends to insanity and my coupled friends to conformity. Let’s start with my single friends. While the crazy comes in all kinds of forms, one thing is consistent – single women in their late-twenties and… [Read more…]

Each of us is made up of some ratio of self-loathing and delusions of grandeur. When in the right balance, this combination helps us function as whole beings and actualize our potential. Our self-loathing propels us to do better, makes us reach out to others for approval and support, and humbles us. It gives us… [Read more…]
