    Annoying fundraising ploys

    An envelope from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society that arrives with a small, transparent window showcasing a nickel, with printed script imploring "The enclosed nickel can help save a child's life."

    Then why the fuck are they sending me that nickel instead of doing something worthwhile with it, like, maybe, saving a child's life?

    Not to be cranky or anything.

    About Sean Bugg

    • I’m the co-publisher of Metro Weekly, Washington, DC’s gay and lesbian newsmagazine, where I served as editor in chief from 2000 to 2007. Over the course of my 40 years, I've been a good little golden boy, a sub-Ivy-League college grad, an annoying activist, a very active party boy, a humorist and a journalist -- if those last two have any distinction. In addition to the magazine, I’m a freelance writer, car reviewer, book addict, amateur tennis player and part-time caterer. I have my hands full.
