You know what I never got? The Gay Olympics…I’m sorry, I mean the Federation of Gay Games. The struggle for every minority in this country’s short history has been that of equality…of assimilation. “We’re just like you and deserve to be treated the same and receive the same opportunities.” Which is why self-imposed segregation has […]

"We all know that crap is king…"

I have come to the sad but enlightening conclusion that I can get all of the news I ever need from Twitter. Sure I’m a fan of the Sunday Times, but it’s really too fucking heavy to carry when you’ve got a balancing act of groceries in your arms. Channels like CNN can be great […]

The Food Network is no longer in my cable channel line-up. Hasn’t been since the new year, and I haven’t exactly lost any sleep over it. When the Food Network started back in 1993, the thought that someone would actually have both the foresight and the balls to put food-related programming on the air 24/7 […]

"Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime…"

by Katie Gomez January 15, 2010

While I have very mixed emotions about this sort of thing, I’m going ahead and posting it anyway simply because I can’t let my usual disappointment in humanity keep me from helping others. While there are certainly exceptions, most of us (not merely Americans mind you) manage to rally together and help those in need […]

The email starts out like this, “I have some information for your blog on a new winery, Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery, in Cape May County, NJ.” I shudder and roll my eyes, but keep reading. “The sandy soils and tempering oceans make Cape May County ideal for Vinifera. Local reporters are slowly picking up […]

"Put up your dukes, let's get down to it…"

I am challenged…twice over. Over the years, politically correct policemen and well-intentioned softheads have decided that people should be called, “uniquely abled, differently abled, exceptional, handicapable, inconvenienced, developmentally disabled or challenged.” That last one’s me. A recent bulletin from the movement lets us know that Porky Pig, formerly a stutterer, should be listed as speech […]

"But a fool and his money soon go separate ways…"

by Katie Gomez January 4, 2010

You have to love it when the latest in email scams makes it into a local newspaper. It’s not like there isn’t a quagmire engulfing our world worth reporting on. Local wineries are being taken for a ride, and others need to be warned. But fear not—The Napa County District Attorney’s Office is hard at […]
