- Remember that awful headline back in March of 2008? “S.F. gay community an epicenter for new strain of virulent staph.” It began with a San Francisco Chronicle article by Sabin Russell, which in essence “reported” on a University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine related to a MRSA study, which resulted in widespread ...

- Yep. Believe it or not, the Ralph Lauren model above has not been manipulated. At least not by me. By Ralph's fashion empire. He placed her in a slightly different context however. Note the body types though. Spot any differences?I cannot believe in 2009 we still have to vomit our guts out, or slice off half our abdomens to fit into crappy clothes designed for holocaust victims. It's not just ...

- Stern Lawbreaker! yet thou dost wearThe Calumniate 's most malignly mask; Nor know we anything so dark As is the taint upon thy task: Truth burns before thee on her deathbed And distrust in thy bidding dreads; Thou dost accuse fair moon of treason, And the most despised fires of hell, with thee, fester sick devoid of reason. To nobler functions, awful Power! I call thee: I myself resist Unto thy ...

- As the rhetoric heats over healthcare reform, the swastika has taken center stage. The problem is that no one knows whether the once dreaded symbol is being used to identify the target or the perpetrator. And therein lies the danger. We live in toxic times. The increasing displays of vitriolic calls to violence, fueled by frothy-mouthed commentators like Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Michelle Malkin and ...

- I grew up less than a mile from what is now regarded as an "informal settlement" -- Alexandra Township. The striking difference between the lavish homes surrounded by high electrified walls remain in stark contrast to the poverty in Alex. The ANC has got to do something about Alexandra Township. A relic of Apartheid, to some extent it seems stuck in a time warp. Although there is ...

- Note: Although this article was written in 2002, the fundamentals remain sadly unchanged. According to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), an estimated 265 service members will have been fired under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" since Barack Obama was inaugurated, allowing prejudice to trump national security.They function as entities unto themselves. They have their own ...

- The act is so depraved so violent, so sickening, one shudders at the thought of what else percolates in the minds of those perpetrating it.

- Some people attribute it to Twitter. Others point to blogs and email campaigns. Regardless, the speed with which Facebook responded to a ferocious backlash over changes it made to its Terms of Service agreement was remarkable. Not only for the speed of its crisis management in the wake of the outcry and proposed boycotts, but for what likely marks a significant turning point in the way content, ...

- California’s Shame Tarnishes a Stunning American Renewal Nothing much could spoil the moment. When Barack Obama was announced President-Elect at approximately 8.00pm Pacific Standard Time, the hardest of hearts had to have shed a tear at the sheer enormity of the moment. Ever since I left South Africa to become an American, more than twenty one years ago, I have found America’s hypocrisy ...

If passed, Prop 8 would overturn the California Supreme Court's May decision which found denying gays and lesbians the right to marry unconstitutional. These last minute tactics ...
