Living in One Town

December 2nd, 2008 No Comments

Our Town by Thornton Wilder is in my opinion one of the worst plays ever written.  While this is one of America’s treasured works of art it has never drawn me in to believing the story line even though it strives to be a mirror of small town American life in the early part of [...]

Fred and The Advocate, revisited

November 27th, 2008 2 Comments

I need to put one thing in perspective.  I’ve been thinking about this episode and asking people what they thought of The Advocate’s cover.  It has been a mixed reaction.  Lately, I’ve been through a lot in dealing with racism with my family’s reaction to my cousin’s dual race baby.  It disgusts me.  It is [...]

It’s Over

November 4th, 2008 1 Comment

As I go to sleep this evening I have some final thoughts.  This long and grueling presidential campaign has taken a toll on this country.  I’m glad it’s over.  Even though I voted for a guy I didn’t like, his election means that our Supreme Court is saved for at least the next four years.  [...]

LTL: Less Than Lethal

October 19th, 2008 2 Comments

Now, I’ve been accused of being a die-hard, right wing nut.  I also have been accused of being liberal, but not liberal enough.  Some people have also called me ultra-liberal.  I really describe myself as a moderate.  But this conversation is not about politics.  It’s about the criticisms we all receive, especially in social media.
When [...]

One reason…

October 15th, 2008 1 Comment

Well folks, it’s coming down to the wire.  There is one more presidential debate tonight and I thought I’d share with you just one reason why I don’t like Barack Obama.  I will preface this by saying that I am a lifelong Democrat and will probably vote for him so that more of our rights [...]

Soon to be Former Democrat

October 7th, 2008 2 Comments

I no longer wish to be a member of the Democratic party.  Jason Cable wishes to be, as the State of Pennsylvania calls it, a member of the “No affiliation” party.  Most places would call this being an Independent.  Because Pennsylvania has closed primaries, I will not be able to vote in our primary elections.  [...]

It’s Main AVENUE!

October 2nd, 2008 No Comments

What the hell is this “Main Street” thing that the “liberal” media keeps talking about?  I don’t know about you, but my hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania does not have a Main Street.  We have a Main Avenue.  I feel slighted with being called Main Street.  It’s bullshit.  Please, call me middle class.  At least that’s [...]

Jason & deMarco

July 8th, 2008 No Comments

It was a cool night in New Hope, PA in late 2004 or 2005 and I was waiting for a concert at a local school auditorium.  I was scared out of my mind.  Arriving several hours earlier, alone, I wandered throughout the quaint gay-friendly tourist town of scarcely a few thousand residents an hour north [...]

June 16th, 2008 No Comments

This episode: Real, Raw, Jason.  This is about as bad as it gets out there folks.  I cover the homophobic, disgusting Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas.  Included are some vitriolic clips from Fred Phelps on the follow topics: ‘God Hates Fags’, ‘The Demonic Tim Russert and Media’, and ‘Fags Bringing [...]
