Published to Sarah Palin
I almost hope that Sarah Palin is calling it quits because an indictment is about to be unsealed or she has been involved in a long-distance lesbian affair with an Argentine firecracker. Otherwise it means Blondenfreude has won again—and the only path to redemption is embracing victimhood.Recently it seems that all Sarah has been doing is whining about her treatment at the hands of the mainstream press, other Republicans, and a dirty old man who thinks himself a sophisticated late ni...

Fireworks are getting hotter. This is the kind of thing that gets me all conflicted. As an intelligent woman I should be deeply offended, by the sight of minimally clad young women hawking fireworks at a stand in Puyallup, Washington. And if I was a totally straight girl (or a 1993 lesbian), I probably would be. But alas I am not—when it comes to stuff like this no guy has me beat for shallowness: The bodacious enterprise is setting off some sparks among the good people of Washington State....

Published to President Manuel Zelaya
For years the United States has been criticized, with a great deal of justification, for interfering in Latin American politics. Not only was this resented by the people of Latin America, but inevitably we chose the wrong side.And here we go again. Deposed Honduran thug Manuel Zelaya has run to Barack Obama, telling him that he is the only hope. By this he means the only hope of getting the Chavist Bolivian Revolution back on track in Honduras.Zelaya was deposed by the military because he ... Read Full Story

Not yet published to a wikizine
During the presidential campaign Barack Obama would often use a catch phrase to rebut McCain and Republican talking points--- “the American People aren't stupid.”I am sure Barack Obama is quite aware that is not true at all—Americans are dumber than dirt and susceptible to all kinds of manipulation--- whether it is the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or that it is somehow possible to drastically increase federal spending and reduce the crushing national deficit at the same...

About two and half years ago, in partial reparation for years of sibling annoyance and a very long two-week stay at my home-- complete with the usual spectacle of her alley cat ways, my little sister went to OfficeMax and bought me a very nice HP Pavilion Laptop.Because she had the hots for the cute salesman, he was able to sell her a three year extended warranty with MaxAssurance.Of course, I was delighted by the unusual thoughtfulness, but I must admit I did not really feel there was any...

Published to President Manuel Zelaya
The only branch of the federal government which does not have the power to enforce its orders is the Supreme Court. They depend on the president and congress.The president, not only as commander-in-chief, but as executive of all the various agency paramilitary forces, is best equipped to enforce his orders, and is constitutionally expected to enforce the orders of Congress and the Supreme Court.Even Congress has the constitutional power to enforce its orders—including the power to arres...

Published to Gay and lesbian rights
It's the anniversary of the day after the death of Judy Garland--and the outbreak of the Stonewall Rebellion. This means well-oiled young studs in denim short shorts-- shorter than even I dare wear, obese topless women on Harley-Davidsons tossing clitoris-shaped lollipops to the crowd, gyrating drag queens in see through dresses and all the rest have been parading down the Main Streets of America. It's called Gay Pride and I admit it can be quite amusing—like the time I saw this elderly ... Read Full Story

Published to Michael Jackson
Don McLean sang how the music died the day Buddy Holly's plane crashed into a cornfield in Iowa. But the Texas Bopper admitted he owed it all to Elvis Presley---the “White Negro” --a likeable, swivel-hipped hillbilly through whom America was formally introduced to the sex and violence of the subterranean soul of America—no longer hidden beneath the cerebral riffs of jazz.It was called Rock and Roll.But more than a musical idiom, the beat was a sanitized expression of the American ...

Published to Mark Sanford
l Since South Carolina is not Italy, Governor Mark Sanford is in deep ka ka. The adulterous banging of an Argentine firecracker is the the final political blow for the governor—and further dims the exceedingly dismal hopes for a Republican Reformation.However, there was a palpable sigh of relief in the press conference room when Sanford said "she" and not "he". Not that things were going all that well anyway—the Democrats hated Sanford because he was fiscally conservative, and the bulk of t... Read Full Story

Its like when one of the those forever married spouses dies, and the other has no will to live, I knew when I heard last Spring that the venerable culinary institution in Lowell, Massachusetts known as The Elliot had closed it's doors, that it's most famous patron—Ed McMahon—was sure to follow.Ed McMahon is known mostly for being to Johnny Carson, what Lunchbucket Joe Biden is to Barack Obama—an amiable dancing bear.But, before the world knew about Johnny Carson or Publishing Clearinghou...
