About me:
I'm currently editor of Above the Law: A Legal Tabloid. I've previously blogged at Wonkette and Underneath Their Robes.I have a "boyish face," as well as "a habit of blinking hard when nervous." "I confess to a fondness for gossip, which, indeed, is a conservative genre. Gossips do not want to change the world; they want to enjoy it."
--Jeffrey Hart "Camp taste is, above all, a mode of enjoyment, of appreciation -- not judgment. Camp is generous. It wants to enjoy. It only seems like malice, cynicism. (Or, if it is cynicism, it's not a ruthless but a sweet cynicism.)"
--Susan Sontag
"I would rather be attacked than unnoticed."
--Samuel Johnson
"My book isn't gossip. Except in the sense that all literature is gossip."
--Truman Capote
"Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy."
--Charlie Bucket, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)
