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.

Anti-American Art: Ninja Peek-a-boo
DADT repeal -- on or off? Obama -- sellout or pragmatist? Global warming, hey, it's effing COLD outside! Julian Assange -- hero or rapist? Let's take a break from today's confusing headlines and go back to basics courtesy of the reliable Democratic People's Republic of Korea propaganda machine.
"Don't be deceived by U.S. disguises" reads this atypically dour North Korean poster, more or less. That's a combination Ninja-US Military Policeman failing to hide himself very well behind an olive branch....see the dangling olives? Note the talons, the ruby red ring, the icy blue eyes, the sharp knife, and the lack of a Kim Jong Il pin. Now there's clear messaging. Beware!
