So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.
Today I had a heavy session on the couch with Sigmund (Freud), Carl (Jung), and Alfred (Adler). Funny, but none of these three great luminaries of analytic thought were interested in my sex life or my toilet training. All they seemed to want to talk about was politics (and pizza). Go figure.

I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

Good breeding precludes us from leaving further comment- tempted as we are.
Well, if you prefer to expound on your sex life and/or toilet training, you have the venue for it.
(Big word, that "if"...)
I miss My Little Pizzeria. And the Waterfalls Cafe. And Cafe Carcioffo. And the crappy little movie theaters. And Bookcourt. And Osaka. And the Last Exit. I even miss Pete's. And the Cafe on Clinton. Anyhow, I enjoy your blag quite a bit.
Signed another ex.
Great interview. You are eloquent while brief. That's tough to do.
You always strike such a readable balance...insightful, historical, wittily self deprecating...yes, I think it's the latter that is the icing on the beautifully crafted cake of your postings that always make me come back for more.
- we may all soon be clamoring for your autograph - any movie deals in the works?? I admire your approach to keeping your spiritual beliefs to yourself/private.
