Five That Didn’t Suck

A few that I like from the past.

Some of you who know me personally may know why posts have been a bit sparse of late, particularly for the last week.  But I’m not gonna come crying to everyone asking them to understand why I haven’t been writing.  Instead, I’m going to completely bitch out and post links to a few posts from the past that, when I re-read them, entertained me.  I’ll be back in the almost immediate future with new work, so I’m hoping these will tide you over.  Besides, if you haven’t read ‘em, they’re new to you.

First up, from June 9 of this year, is a piece about the horrible “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell military policy:  Gays STILL Need Not Apply.

Next, from October of 2008 is my review of Thomas L Friedman most recent excretion.  Which I didn’t read, but which netted one of my favorite pieces on BITF.

Something a bit more serious, but still (hopefully) entertaining about Ahmad Jamal, jazz history, and the Princeton Nassoons can be found in How Ahmad Jamal Reached Decades Into The Future from February of this year.

Sex with ex-girlfriends is covered in the May of 2008 post There’s Nothing Easier To Bag Than An Ex-Girlfriend.

I indulge my annoyance with religion in a post from June of 2008 called Church Advertising.

One thing that may mitigate the suck factor of recycling old material is the fact that Friday is the day my weekly Meatist column goes live at the New Times food blog – so I’ll post a link to that shortly.  Still though, repeats are a cop out and I kinda suck for pulling this shit.  Not that it will stop me from doing it again next Friday if I feel like it.
