William Hogarth: from A Rake's Progress (1733–1735), no. 8.Fairfax, VA, USA.This great stage of fools is peopled with boys in their less than perfect minds. I sing of bonny boys, bonny mad boys who wander the world like a catastrophe in some ancient comedy.

The modern rules provide them liberty to clothe themselves respectable. Their madness is allowed if not encouraged. We speak no ill of anyone.

Warning: Italian American On Board.Fairfax, VA, USA. Sometimes I am sure that the whole thing is a plot by Catholic-raised Italian American women to take over the world. Madonna, Gaga, me. Something about our upbringing: too much garlic perhaps.

Too much Catholicism to work through growing up. Long lists of do’s and don’ts. Sins that will send you directly to hell. Hormones and body parts that question the church’s philosophies.

Rolling Rolling Rolling.Fairfax, VA, USA.That Bobby Dylan is turning 70 this month astonishes me. Depresses me. Reminds me I wrote my first column about him over the summer in 1965 when I was just 17 and Dylan was barely electric.

The teacher who nominally moderated the high school newspaper asked me why he was important. Why was I writing about a scruffy folk singer who dabbled in rock and roll?

Fairfax, VA, USA. A columnist must be mentally nimble, a lover of naked rugby, agile without constraint. Editors must be viewed as a necessary evil but one that in an ideal world would be seldom needed.

We are, after all and unlike Shakespeare, all too human and the frequency of my unblotted manuscripts ranges from seldom to somewhere south of infinity. I am nothing if not an irrational number.

The Homosexual AgendaFairfax, VA, USA. Social conservatives use the term Homosexual Agenda to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. Sort of like the Heterosexual Agenda but with less vaginal penetration and more anal sex.

Alternately, Daily Show host Jon Stewart defined the gay agenda as gay marriage, civil rights protection, Fleet Week expanded to Fleet Year, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance for when it's raining men, Kathy Griffin to host everything and a nationwide ban on pleated pants. [N1]
