The Cahokian

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.

"The Proud Tradition of European 'Satirical Journalism – Islamophobia Is 21st-Century Anti-Semitism."

Lenin's Tomb on Charlie Hebdo

"This attack was nothing to do with free speech — it was about war."
