Baierman, Editor - Here’s what you need to know: Baierman is a writer, observationist and wisenheimer. Not necessarily in that order. He is immune to the sight and smell of vomit. His major weakness is the grammatical error. Like life, he’s completely random. Treat him kindly. Please. Follow Baierman on Twitter here.
Cleet, Contributing Writer - The exploits of Cleet may be exaggerated, probably imagined, and definitely influenced by the the rise and fall of Bananarama. An infinite wealth of useless knowledge and sports acumen, his power of observation is a formiddable weapon in his mind alone. He was raised in the Tar Heel state and always seeks a balance between intellectual stimulation and mindless mirth. Follow Cleet on Twitter here: @cleetsauce.
Adam Ferguson, Editor - Adam's greatest accomplishments thus far are starring as The Artful Dodger in his eighth grade production of Oliver!, playing the piano at Carnegie Hall despite no actual piano training, and losing his virginity as a teenager. He lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and only leaves the neighborhood to go skiing or do laundry at his parents' house in Connecticut. You can follow Adam on Twitter here.
Thomas Gallant, Contributing Writer - Thomas Gallant is smug. He's cynical. He's a prick. He'll try being nicer if you try being smarter. He can admit when he's wrong, can you? A sailor with a penchant for fast cars and vodka, he lives vicariously through Thomas Crown and MacGuyver and once dated a woman who knew Jimmy Buffet. He's a lifelong Yankees fan, even when they had Andy Hawkins. For relaxation, he rows competitively. Thomas lives in the NYC suburban bedroom community of Fairfield County, CT and graduated Summa Cum Laude from nearby Port Chester University. Follow Thomas on Twitter here.
Brook Hill, Contributing Writer - Brook Hill is probably the coolest chick you’ll ever meet. Growing up with 2 older brothers desensitized her to all things disgusting and perverse, so despite being a bit of a girlie-girl, she loves poop jokes and watching guy movies. Brook writes about education, politics, stupidity in the world, entertainment, boys/men/dating/relationships, and whatever else interesting comes along. She enjoys walks on the beach and long luxurious bubble baths. Brook lives in southwestern Connecticut with her English Setter.
Ana Nimus, Contributing Writer - Ana Nimus hails to us from some far off wonderland of beauty, sunshine, rainbows and possibly even leprechauns. The truth is she wouldn't tell us exactly where she's from, but we do know she lives in New York City now, we think. She also admits to at one time or another being a sister, mother, wife, girlfriend, daughter, referee, nurse, actress, center-fielder, clairvoyant, singer, tie-breaker, explorer, and maybe even a Pilgrim, once. She is excited to be a part of the Desonesto team where she has permission to share her opinion on anything she damn well pleases.
Ernest White II, Contributing Writer - As pretentious as his name sounds, Ernest is the semi-socialist, quasi-capitalist son of educators bone-n-bread in the Jim Crow South. Get into it. Ernest writes about blackness, travel, blackness, politics, blackness, music, blackness, culture, and blackness. Get into it. Ernest has lived and worked in Miami, Washington, New York, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and now Brazil, and chronicles his exploits at his blog, Fly Brother, and on Twitter. Get into it.
Johnny Wright, Contributing Writer - Johnny Wright was born and raised in Seattle Washington. He writes about popular culture, politics, sports, music and monkeys. Johnny claims to be a direct descendant of Billy the Kid and Blackbeard the pirate, to have seen the Loch Ness Monster and have hidden out for a summer in the basement of Ernest Hemingway's Key West Florida home. All these boasts seem to be absolute lies. Johnny lives in New York City.
