Empathy

I’m sitting in Starbucks. Just watched a teenager drop a piece of paper on the floor, then walk out. Didn’t bend to pick it up. Clearly saw it fall. Simply didn’t care. A few days ago the wife wrote an excellent column for CNN.com on the lack of empathy among

I am not gay

I am not gay. I have never had any sort of homosexual relationships. I find men to be physically ugly—too much hair, lumpy, stinky, etc (In short, I’m describing myself). I’ve never thought about being gay, have never wanted to be gay, have never thought about wanting to be gay.

So tonight I DJed with my wife’s aunt’s 50th high school reunion at the Renaissance in White Plains, N.Y. Didn’t really know what to expect. Were about 130 attendees, average age: 68. Was told by Aunt Barbara people probably wouldn’t dance, and I sort of assumed the same. Hence, I

Harry Reid must be the most loathed politician in America …

… because right now, if you believe polls, he slightly trailing Sharron Angle in the Senate race. Here’s Angle’s latest ad: Sharron Angle is a loon. Like, a real loon. Crazy. Unbalanced. Unaware. I’m not quite sure how she’s made it this far, but it’s a horrible statement about our
