He’s been nicknamed “God’s Rottweiler”, was a member of the Hitler Youth, fought briefly for the Nazis in WWII, has called homosexuality an “intrinsic moral evil” — and he’s the new leader of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, a hardline right-winger from Germany, has been named the successor to Pope John Paul II, and will take the name Benedict XVI. GLBT groups worldwide are devastated at the announcement.
Ratzinger has been one of the most powerful men in the Vatican, and was Pope John Paul II’s chief theological adviser for the past 20 years. During his time there, he authored the 1986 letter “On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Person” which led to GLBT support groups being ejected from church premises and clergy being censured for reaching out to GLBT parishioners.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
