This season one of the greatest shows on TV will exit stage left for the last time: 30 Rock. I have found many of my most hilarious pop culture references in Tina Fey’s prose. But this post isn’t about that series finale. It is about the time (or to be more accurate – a time) […]

Comedians are the Modern Poets
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
To understand Dov Davidoff’s humor you really only need to know two things about this New Jersey native: 1) he grew up in a junkyard and 2) lost his virginity to a prostitute in Mexico at the age of 12. If that doesn’t make you real, I don’t know what does. Comedians are the modern poets, […]

Distinguishing Between the Gay Scene and Gay Community
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
Often in media and conversation, we confuse the gay scene with the gay community. The drinking, sex, and frivolousness found in the gay scene (and found in the straight scene as well, see Exhibit A – Jersey Shore Cast Photo) are not distinguished with the high rates of philanthropy and low rates of crime present […]

Manhunt v. Mormon
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
This post I will call the dichotomy of the human condition in 2012. Over the holidays, an electronic billboard in Times Square alternated between ads for Manhunt, a gay dating site, and the Mormon Church. This is the case of Manhunt v. Mormon and I place my money on the gays winning. There isn’t much more […]
I miss my MADtv
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
For 14 seasons, Fox Network had a little sketch comedy / live action / variety / animation show called MADtv. Call it the ugly duckling to SNL’s beautiful swan. MADtv was about the high schooler left in all of us. I loved my MADtv. And here are three reasons why: The View the way I […]

Dog or cat? Pick a side.
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
Ask anyone whether they are a dog or a cat person and they have a quick response. However, there is a growing group of us that don’t have a simple answer to that question. We are the new breed (sorry for the word choice there) of owners of both a canine and a feline. We […]
Hashtag Throwdown
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
The hashtag as an ironic form of expression proliferated in #2012. Its use grew beyond Twitter to Facebook, emails, and conversations. It is the new form of air quotes; it as self-aware as it is awkward. I will indulge myself once and this once in using the hashtag as a framework for a blog post. […]
The Zombie Invasion of the Cubicle
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
zombie [noun] 1) A person who is believed to have died and been brought back to life without speech or free will. 2) A person who appears to be lifeless, apathetic, or totally lacking in independent judgment. It occurred to me today on the first day back from holiday shutdown, the zombie invasion has taken […]
The War on Poor versus The War on Poverty
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
During the 2012 presidential campaign, none of the candidates courted the poor because voter turnout among the poor is traditionally low. According to the U.S. Census Bureau (data from Tuesday, September 13, 2011) the nation’s poverty rate rose to 15.1% or 46.2M Americans in 2010. This is up from the poverty rate in 2000 in […]
