No, not for George Bush. I can't tolerate him. At all.But I can tolerate an end to racism. Read this heartwarming story from the LA Times today and visit the Tolerance Center if you're ever in L.A. It's extremely moving.

Our new flack, er, press secretary Tony Snow bit his words today when he tried to describe Bush's trotting out of the gay marriage card as a civil rights issue. Well, yes, Mr. Snow, it is a civil rights issue, but your administration is on the opposite side of those rights. With that one slip, Tony Snow was boxed into a corner. Go to the link to read a partial transcript of the exchange.

Still don't believe Kerry really won the presidential election in 2004? Stop what you're doing right now and read these two articles...Was the 2004 Election Stolen? by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (in this month's Rolling Stone) How They Stole Ohio by Greg Palast (via Buzzflash.com)...Then report back to me.

Could I be more smitten with Apple? I'm not a big fan of the nano, really or Nike's line of running shoes either, but this is a step in the right direction (pun intended). If, through your headphones, you could constantly be alerted to what mile you're on, that's cool enough as it is. I'm sold. Ideally, the technology gets better and smaller, so that something the size of the nano holds as much

There were rumors about six years ago that Terence Malick was going to direct an adaptation of Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. Even Sean Penn was purportedly attached. Since it's clearly not being made anytime soon, all I can do is mourn a lost classic. I just finished re-reading The Moviegoer on Friday night, forgot how amazing the writing in that book is. I also just Netflixed New World because I

Been doing a lot re-reading lately. Re-read Stephen King's On Writing and it felt like I was reading it for the first time. Re-doing The Artist's Way. Just finished re-reading The Tao of Pooh and now I'm re-tackling Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. Except for The End of the Affair, which was terrific, everything's been a re-read lately. Here's to getting it right this time.

Fox News anchor Tony Snow named new Bush Press Secretary. I'm sure this is on the up-and-up; legitimate credentials, etc. etc. I'm sure Fox hasn't been cooking the news since Bush went to office. Not a chance.

It's a quiet Saturday. Light rain and wind make for fleece sweaters and staying in, despite the annoyance of the clanging radiator and the obnoxious blather of the stylists in the salon our kitchen sits atop. It's a year to the weekend we sat in Tompkins Square Park awating our meeting with Jim & Sunhwa, unsure if they would like us, if we would get this apartment, if I would have to extend my

Apple revealed "Boot Camp" yesterday which will allow Apple computers to run Windows through partitioned drives. It's a pretty awesome revelation and ABC's got an interesting article on it today. Their take is that it will convert more Windows users to Mac users. Although I think the Mac software and operating system to be a thousand times better than Windows, I don't see this move happening in a

Wonderful. Slice of California heaven. Except for the lines a hundred people long...to get in. Needless to say, we go during off hours. As for the wine shop, we're excited but it hasn't opened yet. Pseudo-official date, if you trust the folks making the signs that block our view into the wine shop, is April 10th... Three buck chuck, here we come.

I just watched the trailer for United 93 that was pulled from some New York theaters after complaints, people crying, etc. I'm not surprised the trailer was pulled. It's cut in the manner of 99% of all trailers for thrillers, which is part of why it's actually so creepy. The preview begins like most genre trailers. You subtly think that something's amiss -- eerie music plays over shots of

No, not Streisand, Bush. Barbara Bush. It's not that she and her family are evil, per se, they're just rich and privileged and think their shit don't stink. And on top of it all, they are truly, truly oblivious to the problems in society. Remember the whole flap about Babs telling Katrina victims in the Houston Astrodome how nice it was to be living with tens of thousands of other homeless

Just posted my original crossword for March (see, I'm keeping up!). I realize I need a bit of practice where constructing is concerned, so I'm sticking to themeless 15 x 15 grids for the time being.

Speaking of which, I just finished Simon Winchester's "The Meaning of Everything", a detailed look at the creation and publishing of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), which was absolutely fascinating to a geek like me. I read Winchester's equally entertaining "The Professor and the Madman" about a year ago. That book covers one of the more notable chapters of the OED's history. Winchester's "

To the right you'll see some links to friends' sites. Just added Sean and Chris who are on that horrible thing I keep hearing about called "MySpace".

I intended to put that info on my articles or stories pages, but since I haven't launched those pages just yet, I felt

For those of you who listen to NPR or read Slate, you may know the name Dahlia Lithwick, who writes the jurisprudence column for Slate and is a frequent guest and contributor to NPR. She recently posted a really comforting and positive article about gay adoption and it's slow and gradual acceptance across the country. This has not been a political movement of "activist" judges, rather an
