Which major New York City modern dance company is firing three of its highest paid dancers this spring, citing “artistic differences,” rather than the total economic meltdown that one of the dancers charges is the real reason for being forced out?
Prude Congress Fails to Stimulate The Arts
Everyone has probably heard already, but this retarded economic stimulus bill that barely passed (is passing, may yet pass, is passing gas?) has been amended by Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn (R) to stipulate that “None of the amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any casino or other gambling [...]
“The Christ in Me” and “The Bagwell in Me”: A comparative analysis
Below, you will find a post that I prepared weeks ago but didn’t get around to finalizing. It’s a revisit to Ann Liv Young‘s “The Bagwell in Me.” It’s a kind of mega-rant, full of twists and turns, perversities, theories, doubts, and, as always, criticisms.

I Want My C.C. …
Hey peeps- I know posts have been few and far between. A number of factors have contributed to the slow down (but why should you suffer, I know!). I’m hoping that once the election’s over, C.C. can donate more of her time to writing than to stressing out and doing laps around the circuit of [...]

Today Friday is your last chance to register to vote in New York. There are lots of ways to get this done today before the deadline, so get your lazy ass off the internet and make it happen. And for that matter, if you are registered to vote, double check with your election board. Turns [...]
