I was gonna write about how I received a fund-raising mailing from the Hillary Clinton for President campaign that shockingly didn't even mention Iraq; shockingly didn't oppose the war, shockingly didn't apologize for voting for the war, shockingly didn't even mention the biggest issue facing this country and how shocked--SHOCKED-- I was and then I learned of Anna Nicole Smith's shocking untimely passing, and seeing that item lead off every news page and blog I click on I think, well, wait, isn't that kind of actually the same story anyway?
We, and by that I do not mean "we" (see below), are fuc*ed.
Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.
