   It truly does…the most overrated, overpriced city (Forbes 2005) with an inflated sense of self-importance, full of closet racists and conformists who censor differing opinions; it’s loaded with class consciousness and the mayor and social elite feast on Paul Allen’s behind for breakfast (Paul Allen billionare co-founder of Microsoft). And lest I forget, the damn place is DULL AS HELL . And the Stranger…well that rag isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on: a gay tabloid with a token female presence. The epitomy of sexism in the gay community is The Stranger.

   … oh Kurt, why did you have to go…

   Why do you think that drawing in The Stranger is racist? I don’t see it. (For what it’s worth, I’m both Jewish and a cartoonist.)

   &: Really? The drawing is reminiscent of the hooked-nose portraits of Jewish men so common to the medieval and modern era. A more subtle dig may be the thinning hair on top, but in general, the nose that was longer than the cartoon’s HEAD (in profile) is the obnoxious part.

   I’m sure it was meant to be ironic, but I see it as a lack of taste. And awareness.

   Woman! You are one astute, succint piece of work. To whom do I submit your name for blog-mamma-of-the-year?
