On Philadelphia Rocked By Possible Loss Of Snack Cakes
As a not-long-for-this town resident of greater (!) Philadelphia, I can confirm that I will be THAT MUCH NEARER to Budd Dwyering myownself if I don't have Butterscotch Krimpets to get me through the last months before I make my escape.

On Social A's: Do I Acknowledge The Plight Of Gays At My Straight Wedding?
Ask one of your lispier friends to read. Or one of your swishier friends to ush. Not because he's gay, but because he's your friend and fuck what Great-Uncle Jed Boyd thinks.
And get your officiating Methodist to leave out the line about "God made man and woman for one another." It won't be lost on the religious-raised gays in the audience.
These things worked for us. Anything else might be a little ... awkward.

On Some Day The Op-Ed Page Will Be Edited
Can't bring myself to generate any lather about L'Affair Dowd, but I will say, in Ben Eason's defense, it's not his fault Creative Loafing went bankrupt five minutes after he took over in Chicago & DC. That shit is genetic: he inherited the inability to run a business from his mother, who founded CL back in 1837, and who never met a digital media venture she wouldn't throw resources at for months before losing interest and letting the whole thing wither on the vine.
(Probably it'd be belaboring the obvious to disclose that I used to work for Debby Eason.)

Always? Sit a spell and let me tell you a story about a little thing we called the Bush Administration.
(Actually, forget it, as this comment right here fills my depressing-pedantry quota for the week. Efficient!)

On Social A's: However Do You Integrate Terrible Events With Your Online World?
This is thoughtful and lovely, actually, and the comment troll from the karaoke piece can suck it.
Because I myself am neither thoughtful nor lovely, though, what I really want to hear more about, is a possible correlation between [1] the percentage of your ("one's") Facebook friends list that you've met twice (or fewer) and either [2A] youth or [2B] Web 2.0 fluency.
or, uh, that's what I'd want to hear more about if I were old and Web 1.0.

@rebel sea ...which also makes it the type of behavior that is hardest to change. its subtlety is also its plausible deniability, for those who are at fault and/or those with the most power to change it. maddening.
