Daring Spectacle: Adventures in Deviant Journalism
Mark Morford is an award-winning columnist and culture critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and its website, SFGate.com, currently the 7th most popular news website in the country. He s also a popular Vinyasa yoga teacher in San Francisco. He was raised by nubile, long-eyelashed, callipygian wood nymphs and spoon fed dark chocolate and raw pomegranate seeds and 18-year-old Scotch until he could fly. His work has appeared in a number of fine publications including Mother Jones, Yoga Journal, Men s Health, The Sun, and The Bark, but not Guns & Ammo or Quilter's World, so please stop asking. He has twice won first place in the National Society of Newspaper Columnists annual contest, and been nominated for multiple GLAAD awards for his work supporting gay rights, a fact for which he feels particularly grateful, considering how he s relatively sure he is exceedingly straight. He s also a regular contributor to the Huffington Post.
