Last fall, my dear old friend and former roommate Austin gave me a call and asked if I was an ordained minister. I told him I wasn't, but since I'm aware of the Internet, I could take care of it pretty easily. Good, he said, because he wanted me to ...

We are screwed. I don't know if you've noticed, but we are rightly and truly and deservedly and predictably screwed. When Barack Obama and John McCain try to blame high gas prices on the hedge funds and the evil evil free marketeers, smile and walk away. You can't fault them ...

As if I don't have enough to deal with, now I've got a regular fucking Cosby Mystery on my hands. I logged into Facebook from the road last night, because I can, and if you can you do the same thing, so don't front. I had a friend request waiting for ...

I stopped off last night at a Burger King somewhere between Washington and Baltimore for food and gas. It was nearly 10pm, I hadn't eaten since lunch, I was starving, I had suffered through terrible traffic around Fredericksburg, but I didn't want to make two stops — this is typical ...

This is why we don’t mindlessly search and replace.

All credit goes to my little brother Jeff, cited below as a technophobe on par with John McCain himself. But apparently he's one of the 40-some percent getting their election informations ONLINE, baby. Welcome Wonkette and Hot Air Readers: I don't quite know what else to offer this audience, so here's ...

At least we were up 5-0.

This has been a problem of mine my entire life: I'm quick to opt for the option I'd consider whimsical or romantic, without fully considering it from soup to nuts. And once the going gets just a little hairy, I pull the cord. I guess you could say I have ...

Saved for later:lost tacoI recently moved from Los Angeles to New York, so this is a fairly emotional issue for me. I can't believe that there aren't any good tacos in this city. It just doesn't seem possible. Somewhere in New York there's a delicious stranded taco, waiting to be ...

My new favorite lunch spot.

Today is a "personal day" on the schedule. I had originally intended to take the day to renew my plates at the DMV, but that was downright civilized and took all of fifteen minutes, so Meaghan and I had a bonus day. We decided to head out to Burlington to ...
