From the Canadian Press: Saskatchewan investigating after hospital found to be reusing syringes. It's a terrifying article, but don't make the mistake I did when first reading this. I thought it said "Sasquatch investigating after hospital". Come to think of it, any...

Vote For My Cousin
You've heard all about my Make-A-Wish Foundation meeting with Depeche Mode as a young teen. Well, you may not know that I also have a cousin with hemophilia, too. He didn't get a Wish, because thankfully he was born a decade after me and missed the HIV blood...
Johnny Knoxville Interviews a Wrestler
You may remember the Great Khali, I suggested him as a potential debate substitute for Sarah Palin- who held her own- last week. Well, good thing that the McCain camp isn't taking my advice... because recently, Johnny Knoxville interviewed The Great Khali, and things...
Vice Presidential Debate Results
Going into last night's debate, I wanted to get an honest, untainted opinion on who did better. Because I can't trust MSNBC or Fox News, or even myself. Then it came to me at lunch. As I sat there with Gwenn, my brother Kip and his family which includes a beautiful...

Synthetic Division Snubbed at MTV Music Awards
Saturday night a synthpop duo played their hearts out in Charlottesville. Then, on Sunday night in Los Angeles, MTV gave all their awards to Britney Spears. What? No Best Synthpop Duo. No Outstanding Thinblooded Male Vocal. Not even a Video Vanguard Award for this....
The Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics
The Olympics are over and I am spent from having watched. TiVo, God bless his heart, was pushed to his limits, recording up to three six-hour plus blocks of badminton, boxing and my new favorite: BMX. The Closing Ceremonies blew the final whistle on the event. There...
The American Athlete of the Week
Gwenn and I have been Tivo'ing and consuming the Olympics at a record pace, which should be an Olympic sport in and of itself. We don't waste time on water polo, basketball, baseball or runs that last longer than 30 seconds. Among our favorite sports? The trampoline,...
Hemo2Homo Connection: The Dark Knight Review
The Hemo2Homo Connection Movie Review Homo: Hemo, since it's taken you three weeks to see the movie, I'd like to elaborate on why I went on opening weekend. (And yes, reader, hemo is the reason this is so late). Hemo: Take it away, sir. ...
