Pecs and the City

As a trainer, I need to keep my body in rockin’ shape. Lead by example and all that. Besides, I never know if they’re gonna call me for a reunion of Unicorn alumni, so I have to be ready at a moment’s notice to strip down to a jockstrap. Like the Boy Scouts taught me: […]

Pat Sajak is straight. Should we be upset?

Pat Sajak sent out a tweet over the weekend that has people talking. The tweet proclaims that the “Wheel of Fortune” host is “declaring” his heterosexuality.   Damn the career consequences! I'm hereby proclaiming my heterosexuality! — Pat Sajak (@patsajak) April 18, 2014 Reading around the Internet, it appears this has upset several members of

Who Is Pushing These “Right to Discriminate” Bills?

These “right to discriminate” bills, which would let just about anyone discriminate against just about anyone because God, have been popping up all across the country, but is there someone co-ordinating all this behind the scenes?

How The “Duck Dynasty” Stars’ Homophobia Destroyed Their Brand

Before December of 2013, Duck Dynasty was a network’s dream: an inoffensive, semi-scripted reality program that received little attention outside of its core audience but still attracted millions of viewers. By any standard, Duck Dynasty was a smash. The season 4 premiere drew 11.7 million viewers. Even for a buzzed about scripted drama like Scandal,

It’s the Turnout, Stupid!

Conventional Beltway wisdom says Democrats will get walloped in November. Reading the pages of The Hill and Politico, one would think the elephant in the Capitol has already trampled its donkey counterpart. Even MSNBC’s screeching Chris Matthews has called the Senate for the GOP.   But Why?   Based on previous midterm elections during a

Hackin’ The Net

As the song says, “it’s that most wonderful time of the year…” but if you are buying gifts for the techies in your life, it’s also one of the most trying times as you decide what to buy them, how much you want and need to spend and whether or not you can afford everything

Pink in the sheets

Mz. Pink, I am a lesbian from a small town. Not only are there very few of us here who are my age, but the ones who are here aren’t full-blown lesbians. That being said, my on-again-off- again girlfriend always goes back to the same guy when we break up. While she does this I

Finances in Focus

Every day of our lives, we make assumptions. We assume that the people we encounter regularly will behave in the manner to which we are accustomed. We assume that if we take care of our cars, they will get us to where we want to go. In fact, we need to make assumptions to bring

Pecs and the City

“We need to talk.” Possibly the worst four words in the human language. No one wants to hear this brief and ominous statement, because more often than not, it’s leading to a break-up. Everyone has suffered through at least one break-up in their lives. The reasons people part are as varied as stars in the

Medical Matters – Herbals

One of my two partners doesn’t take anything unless the doctor insists. The other takes whatever he’s told and then adds all manner of what he calls “herbals” to his regimen. I fall somewhere in the middle. Its taken awhile, but I have finally managed to get the one of us who will try most
