Jan.30.2013 Immovable Objects, Irresistible Forces Harper’s Magazine, February 2013 The price exacted for good journalism is, occasionally, a cynical screed. Reporters look at events and public personalities with a practiced, often jaundiced eye and, I suppose an occasionally overly critical piece is to be expected. This is the case with...	Aug.15.2012 Tightening the screws on ageless vaginas People are agitated over '18 Again', an Indian vaginal tightening gel. In the coming days, you will read innovative terms to refer to the word, flaunting sexual openness while crying hoarse against openness. Ironically, what some of these people, mainly women, write will be far more...

Hurray it’s Starstyle ®-Be the Star You Are!® with hosts Cynthia Brian and Heather Brittany.

Feb.01.2012 More Proof In case there was doubt that Mitt Romney is middle class, there comes circumstantial evidence from California. First, let's note and agree that Californians hate America and the wealthy beause Californians are all either hippies or Hollywood actors and producers, and they're on dope. We all...
Jan.21.2012 The Thing About Mitt After I finished writing and walked home, I thought more about Mitt and my post. I want it understood, I have no problem with Mr Romney's wealth.

Jan.21.2012 Come On, It's Pretty Funny No matter how you cut it, you have to admit that Matt Romney calling for someone like him to be POTUS because he's "...lived in the real streets of America," is funny. I mean, come on. His speaking engagement income last year was over 350 grand, which he dismissed as not much. It's almost...
Apr.28.2011 Royalty and Labor Day: By Appointment With The Future Queen Two days after Kate Middleton and Prince William walk down the aisle, a group of workers will take to the streets to celebrate the working class.

Jul.06.2010 Please, don’t call me middle class! ‘I use middle class as an insult’, wrote Cath Elliott on The Guardian website last week.

People who have doors to...
May.28.2010 Luck The luck of the draw. The luck of the Irish. He's a lucky guy. As luck would have it. Luck be a lady tonight. Those are the first thoughts that come to mind when I hear the word luck. But last week I used the term to describe myself. I had been invited to participate in a video interview about...	Apr.23.2010 All White I still remember the beggar girl craning her neck as the couple walked down the road, foreign tourists with straw hats, fair with golden hair. There was a girl with them. A girl as dark as the urchin. A girl who looked like an add-on, who did not seem to belong. Both girls were turning to look at...
