RIP Debbie Reynolds (April 1, 1932 – Dec. 28, 2016)
It’s unfathomable. 2016 sucks.
RIP Carrie Fisher (Oct. 21, 1956 – Dec. 27, 2016)
No, dammit. This has to stop.
RIP George Michael (June 25, 1963 – Dec. 25, 2016)
A life led as fully, and as momentously, as the one led by the onetime, recently departed Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, deserves a final appraisal, a last celebration, and a send-off. That’s the least this world-famous pop icon should have expected, had … Continue reading

RIP Leonard Cohen (Sept. 21, 1934 – Nov. 10, 2016)
From our lips he drew the Hallelujah.
#IsItOverWithYet?
Politics is nasty, bloody sport. Maybe we say this every go-round, maybe I’ve said it too often myself—but this time it’s nastier, bloodier, so much more repulsive than we’ve seen…than we deserve…than we’re capable of. But when you reflect for … Continue reading

What I saw at the HRC rally
There’s a little mental calculus that comes into play when you’re thinking about attending a political event. First off there are the known disincentives: There’ll be long lines and lots of waiting. Decibel levels will be high. Spirits will also … Continue reading
