Rachel on Hillary
August 14th, 2008
Hey, if you can tear yourself away from Olympic volleyball for long enough, check out who’s filling in for Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Air America’s Rachel Maddow has put on makeup and what looks like one of Keith’s pinstriped suits (minus the shirt) to give us her blindingly brilliant take on the day’s news.
It’s very heartening to see such a big, smart dyke on the air. Also here’s an effusive profile The Nation just did on Rachel.

in a state
July 29th, 2008
I keep referring here to this upcoming anthology that I did an essay for, State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America. But I feel like I haven’t explained it properly. If you click that link you’ll go to the review Publisher’s Weekly just did. It describes the project very concisely and coherently. Plus my essay gets a nice little mention.
The image above is a detail of the map that accompanies my piece.

Okay, I get it now.
July 27th, 2008
Perhaps it will not surprise you to learn that a hornrimmed, IKEA instruction-manual fetishizing geek such as myself has never been a big devotee of the rock and roll. But last night I went to a Melissa Etheridge concert, and I was…how do you say…rocked out. Read the rest of this entry »
