Another Peaceful Obama Supporter, er, Anti-Bush Protester

Last year, Obama supporters and generic anti-war protesters wreaked havoc during the Republican National Convention.  They used smoke bombs, poured bleach on elderly delegates, broke plate glass windows, and disrupted convention floor proceedings.  It was worse than when we gathered in New York – and to my mind it was a reflection of the zeal [...]

American Naivete & the Ugly Truth

I spent much of this week reading through hundreds of pages of information.  Some were resources provided to me by a former, and very senior, CIA official that gave me some profound insight to the realities decision-makers faced in the wake of 9/11.  
Then I perused my old Woodward books that centered on the Bush presidency.  I re-read Doug Feith’s diatribe, er… [...]

Without Preconditions

National Security is the singular issue where I just climb a tree.  I admit it.  I’m not a neocon.  I’m not a “national security” mom.  I am definitely not a dove.  Nor am I a hawk, or any other damn bird.  What I am: a supporter of the experts in our Clandestine service, our special [...]

Obama hopes the EU will put out

Remember last Summer?  You can bet that President Obama thinks wistfully of Berlin, his first date with Europe.  The chanting throngs, the pre-printed signs, the exquisite view from the Four Seasons hotel.  The whole of Europe in a state of masturbatory, pre-climactic glee –  gasping for air, anticipating the moment of release on election day.  [...]

Oh Barack, we’ll always have Berlin

UPDATED: Do you support Obama’s approach to foreign policy? VOTE HERE.
We’ll always have Berlin…. the days when it was all “Hope” and “Change” and governance was just a word.  The cheering throngs, the coordinated signs, the events and emotions and condescension palpable.  If the atheists could suspend their values for a moment, surely they too [...]

The Happy Warrior

Hello all,
A few hours ago, I received a comical e-mail from our esteemed chairman of the RNC, Mike Duncan. Republican “leaders” from across the nation Republicans nationwide hailing the victory of Senator Saxby Chambiliss’ reelection efforts. The most entertaining line reads “this victory is also the first step in our efforts to rebuild our Party [...]

Where is the NRA when you need them???

Hello all,
I’ll give you a day off from a gay diatribe to move into an issue of more importance and extreme bewilderment.
What is up with the pirates?
I mean – COME ON! It’s 2008!!! I know that the “high seas” can sometimes be a bit perilous, but really – the United States and Russia have enough [...]

Hypocrisy wrapped in ignorance wrapped in sheer stupidity

Hello all,
So I’m officially pronouncing June 2008 as the “Month of the Gay” – every day there is something in the news. People love us, people hate us, but everybody is talking about us.
Yeah yeah…I’m sure you’re getting tired of it. I certainly am. I’m really not that different from the rest of [...]
