It’s probably silly to even include this man, but he is kind of amazing to watch. He obviously has thought a great deal about what he’s saying. I bet he doesn’t do Sudoku. I still don’t know why he pickets funerals, or what he means by “Semper Fi Fags.” Apocolyptic Crackpot-ism is pretty common among […]
In following up the last post, it’s a trap for the Democratic Candidates to position themselves on the other side of the Bush argument. The correct thing to do is dissect the Administration’s arguments, to analyze them in depth for what is reasonable, and what is crazy. Our government is deeply paranoid right now. One […]
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."Franklin Delano Roosevelt Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a true mental illness. It’s not a debatable condition, something made up by soldiers for compensation or sympathy.

They like cold water and it’s not so cold anymore. Could it be Global Warming? But, on the other hand, […]
That last post ["my faith"] didn’t get at the depth of my feeling on the topic. If I’m advocating Mel Gibson come clean with his feelings, I guess I should take my own advice. I’m up to here and beyond with the Christians, the Jews, and the Moslems of the world. Religion is a private […]
