on being driven out

I am, admittedly, a baby in the pro-life movement. I’ve said it many times before. I am a Democrat. In this election I find I am faced with a choice between a man I find vile, reprehensible, and sketchy, and a man whose ideas are tarnished by his association with things I cannot support. It’s [...]

Um, I’m sorry, I’m unworldly, unattractive and unpleasant?

Guys, guys, you’ll never believe it. First, there was this CRAZY spike in my views the other day & I did a great imitation of the kangaroo in “Ze end of ze world,” popping my head from under the snow of nuclear winter & quipping, “WTF mate?” So I clicked a link or two & [...]

Note to self: It’s not a competition, Stupid!

I am enormously blessed to have many friends. Some of my friends have parents who were able to pay for their education.

Don’t let them Muddy the Waters

If you have never been to the Holocaust Museum in DC, you should go. I’ve heard the one in LA is great, too – but I’ve never been, so I can’t speak to that.

SOPA

I’m not deluded. I know that my piece of the internet is infinitesimally small, that my influence minor at best, and my presence negligible in the grand scheme of things.
