One Fine Jay

Oh the horror

So I spend six hours reformatting my computer. I visit Boi From Troy for a refreshing catch-up with his latest adventures in style and taste and all things gay and this is what I come across lower down his front page (quoted in full): Seen in New York the latest redux: The Eighties. Think polo… Continue reading this entry

Much ado…

Apropos of this article in the New York Times: As some make gossip out of everything, so others make much ado about everything. They are always talking big, [and] take each other seriously, making a quarrel and mystery of it. You should take very few grievances to heart, for to do so is to give… Continue reading this entry

Thus quoth Pai Mei…

To Matt Yglesias: You bray like an ass! Since when did Matt become a bastion of bad faith (not to mention disingenuousness)? Since when did I become such a fountain of naivete?

Jess makes me laugh

However, her closing paragraph is misleading to… Continue reading this entry

If they didn’t then my son would not have driven down it drunk at 95mph. If that street wasn’t there he would not have driven into that tree when… Continue reading this entry

Style trimming

Bush talks, etc.

I missed Bush’s speech tonight. It offended me to learn that the speech was far less important than Fear Factor or The Swan, at least in the eyes of their respective networks’decision-makers. It seems to escape certain people, along with these network execs, that the office of the President Of The United States itself deserves… Continue reading this entry
