Bears not in "Bears"

Ron Suresha | November 30, 2007

Bears not in “Bears” In the New Yorker's Books Briefly Noted section on 11/19/07, there was a review of a new book about bears, written by one Bernt Brunner (which, incidentally, are both names stemming from the word “bear”).

Conservapedia obsessed with homos

Ron Suresha | November 29, 2007

Conservapedia obsessed with homos Çenk Uygur from The Young Turks read at length from the elaborate and detailed Conservapedophilia entry on homosexuality.

Bear Force One on Logo "news"

Ron Suresha | November 25, 2007

Earlier this week, Rocco called me to catch part of the new news half-hour daily on Logo, which I think is pretty cool in itself. But then, on this particular episode, there was a feature on Bear Force One, the Netherlands bear band that made a splash last year with an eponymously titled dance video [...]
