Gay Bar! I wanna take you to a GAY BAR! And what shall we drink in this gay bar? Well – why not…
Gay Beer
or possibly
Gay Wine
Reading these stories – especially the wine one – you might be forgiven for thinking that the marke[…]

BOBBY O
“I Cry for You”
This is in part an excuse to talk about the wonderful post on Mr. O and “German Girl” made by Ally over at the already coolest-thing-in-2005-English-language music criticism, ILMiXor. So go read that f[…]

Derbyshire and ID redux — just a quick followup to this earlier post on John Derbyshire’s frustrations with ID arguments and arguers. Presumably this will be his final word on the subject via the Corner blog, and it’s a pretty darn[…]

La Nina Santa (The Holy Girl) has had very good press, though very few of the reviews suggest you should drop everything and go see it. I know what they are getting at. It is a very slight film, which reminded me a lot My Summer Of Love in both theme[…]
