Sed Contra: Emmaus Ministries, helping male prostitutes get off the streets. Moving post, very much worth your time.

The Rat breaks her grad-school-imposed posting silence to review the new Hollywood movie of “The Human Stain.” (Speaking of grad school, congratulations to Motime on taking the GRE!)
