Efficiency, that's what you get with a Nazi pope.

It's all aspirational man. Fuck it, if it wasn't so damn good at finding the dark heart and ignoring the bloody hand.

On New York, Where Matters of Scale and Cost and John Jacob Astor Become Mangled
Heros? For rehabbing a hunting lodge? Maybe they'd be heros if they donated it to the state (along with the land) or, you know, maybe if they could fly (to Haiti and offer a hand).
Plus they had that plush piece in the Times. If they can't sell it, maybe the NYT will put them on it's most needy list.

On When Jeffrey Deitch Goes, What Will New York Miss?
Skinny kids / skinny jeans? Who cares, or rather, isn't that the point that conceals the point:
"Deitch has a way with the wealthy, having spent the past 20 years advising and selling artwork to rich people, and the 9 years before that as an art adviser in the employ of Citibank. He has a network of collectors at his fingertips whose support the financially unstable museum-which avoided closure in 2008 only because its founding chairman, Eli Broad, provided a bailout of $30 million-could use as it is nursed back to health."

On The 50 States, In Order
There's no sense of history. Connecticut exists because Massachusetts had diverged too far from the righteous path, how can Massachusetts precede Connecticut? And Ohio (and parts of Illinois and westward, ho) is all just Connecticut leftovers.
And what, you (Bry) are talking about New London (CoCo for Wo and all), or the Occupied Territories (Fairfield County, or, New York) ...
Connecticutians rise up!

On On Gay Male Identity as an Increasingly Commercial Experience
So close, but you tow the line too closely. The thesis, if we can call it that, is sound, but the argumentation makes for nothing so much as another type of A-list faggotry.
Though I join you in aggrandizing those early inhabitants of Fire Island with their architect-designed shacks, aren't they, in the end, just a bunch of (relatively) rich white guys playing at the beach?
