Guys are so lucky.
Urinating is such an easy stand-up thing.
For example, when there’s no “John” in sight, it’s a simple task to just slip into a bush or down an alley somewhere and take a whiz!
No problemo.
And when it comes to plumbing, the male of the species is fortunate, as well. After all, clever inventors [...]

We hold these truths to be self evident…
Last week, the mainstream press reported that a worker on payroll at a factory back east fessed up that a handful of fellow card-carrying union members, wouldn’t vote for Obama because he is black.
On the other hand, one white middle class man – who asked to remain anonymous – [...]

In the Castro district, at 18th street, City Officials have allotted a picturesque little park where dogs are allowed to run free off-leash and play with abandon.
You don’t want to plunk down on the grass here – or else you’ll end up with poopy pants – for sure.
As I perched on a quaint wooden park [...]

The cast of intriguing characters on McLaughlin Group…
In the wake of the initial brouhaha over race issues in the current presidential race – and the subsequent feeding frenzy on the part of the media and pundits thereafter – the McLaughlin Group invited two well-known ”Black” personalities to appear on air to discuss the African American “elite” class [...]

Nature’s endless bounty, Sarah?
Although Sarah Palin (the VP hopeful plucked out of obscurity to be McCain’s running-mate) is hardly out of the starter’s gate, she’s already managed to step in a heap load of caribou sh**, nonetheless.
In spite of glaring evidence to the contrary, Palin has stated for the record, that she does not think global [...]

At first, when I spied the scaffolding strategically-placed around the Castro Theatre, I thought the “old lady” – the architectural beauty from the Art Deco era – was getting a face lift.
Workers on the job informed me that renovations were underway to accommodate a film production company who booked the premises for a location shoot.

I dropped two quarters in the box, snapped up the latest edition of the daily newspaper, and headed off to breakies at McDonald’s.
As I thumbed through the first section, I stumbled across a publicity still of Barack Obama and his family – all lined up like darling ducks in a row – which was snapped [...]

Sarah sets sights on ice – um – glass ceiling!
When the breaking news splashed across plasma screens around the country – for most Americans tuning in – the media jolt was startling.
Uh-huh!
On the heels of an announcement by the balmy ex-fighter pilot – that Sarah Palin was plucked up from relative obscurity to be his [...]

“La Vie En Rose” is a feature film about the triumphant – yet tragic tale – of the French chanteuse, Edith Piaf.
Known as the Little Sparrow – the diminutive singer sprang from the gritty impoverished streets of Paris – where she enchanted passers-by with her robust naive renditions of popular songs of the day.
Unfortunately, her [...]

Mamie Van Doren – a fifties screen siren – was on hand in Tinseltown recently to kick off a unique promotion.
Ms. Van Doren’s beguiling image will appear on a series of 1.5 liter bottles of wine.
But, there is a curious twist – er – pull to ‘em.
