On Why Do Our Elected Officials Love Cancer?

Thanks for the shout out Choire! I work at NIH. There are a lot of diseases that used to be fatal and are now considered curable or chronic -- HIV-AIDS is one of the best examples -- and that would never have happened without NIH funded research. So, yeah, your tax dollars are hard at work here helping people not die.

On A Brief Christmas Memory

I remember '86 too. I had a one year old hyperactive baby and a husband who was never home. He worked until midnight that New Year's Eve. Fucking Reagan indeed.

On Guys Never Stop Wanting Sex

Um. No. That's why almost half of those grampies complain that they're not getting enough. Menopause does horrible things to a woman's libido.

On $#*! My Jew Says

My mom was as WASP as you can get and she used traipsing and gallivanting all the time. I claim all fancy words for walking for Team WASP.

On Inside Anna Wintour's Long Island Home

LOVE LOVE LOVE WOI is the only shelter magazine to read. Gorgeous pictures of everything from decrepit old summer houses in Russia to over the top Austrian 18th century fantasies. But the best part, little to no sycophantic copy (as in Architectural Digest).

On Baboons Like Pinot Noir, I Like Baboons

Correct. Just being old school. Been to both islands. Glad not many people know about them. Glad you do!

On Meet Your Vegetables: The Farmers Market in Winter

Sweet memories of Inwood. Sounds like it hasn't changed at all in the 20 or so years since I left Arden Street and Broadway. Except we didn't have a farmer's market and we weren't gentrifying, we were homesteading.
