Barack Obama: Typical Politician
2008-06-19 10:57:00 I can’t say I’m surprised. Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama has opted out of the public campaign finance system. Not that I don’t support his decision to forego public funding of his campaign. I would rather presidential campaigns didn’t drink from the federal trough. What this does show is that despite his ...

ManBearPig Watch! ManBearPig Watch!
2008-06-19 07:11:00 Mr. ManBearPig himself, Al Gore, has moved past his Nobel Prize fame and now earns a GayPatriot ”Profile In Courage” Award for finally bothering to endorse Barack Obama for President.

Gay Marriage Roundup
2008-06-19 06:22:00 Despite my opposition to court-mandated gay marriage, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some developments this week from California and beyond. First, some personal stories of the first-day of marriage ceremonies in San Francisco are chronicled at a website called the “Experience Project.” The energy inside was very different from the energy outside.

Democrats Go All ?Hugo Chavez?To Solve US Energy Needs
2008-06-18 21:36:00 Good heavens…. House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply. Ah, socialism. The Democrats are at least ... More About: Liberals , Energy , Chavez
Will Gay Marriage Help Tame Men?s ?Piggishness??
2008-06-18 18:48:00 Before Andrew Sullivan decided that the purpose of gay marriage was to confer “dignity” on gay relationships (a definition ironically bought by the California Supreme Court), he made perhaps the most solid social argument for extending state recognition of marriage to same-sex couples. In his landmark 1989 essay, “Here Comes the Groom,” what he called a ... More About: Marriage , Gay Marriage
The Spiritual Intimacy Sex Should Afford
2008-06-18 17:30:00 Last night, as I was working on a post on bad advice (a particular bane of my adult life) which I decided not to complete or publish as it was becoming too personal, I was thumbing through a book I had read about a decade ago, Rabbi Levi Meier?s Ancient Secrets: Using the Stories of ...

I Officially Hate PayPal
2008-06-18 15:46:00 About five years ago, not long after first signing up for a PayPal account, I received the first of what would be many spam e-mails informing me of some problem in my account. At the time, I did not know it was spam and assumed there had been some kind of computer glitch as ... More About: Paypal , Random Thoughts , Hate
Time to Protest CNN in Airports?
2008-06-17 19:32:00 Today, while waiting in line at my bank, the noise of Wolf Blitzer’s voice from the television monitor piping in CNN made it difficult for me to let my wander as is my wont in such situations. As I tuned into Wolf, it occurred to me that the only times now I watch CNN are in ... More About: Time , Media Bias , Airports , Protest
Seeing Too Much in a Wallet Lost, then Found?
2008-06-17 19:18:00 Maybe I see too much into things and find meaning that isn’t really there. Anyway, one of the reasons I was a bit off-center when I returned from my trip to Utah was getting some unexpected bad financial news in the mail (including an assessment of an underpayment for my 2005 California taxes). I will ... More About: Lost , Random Thoughts , Wallet
No mass Gay Weddings, Please
2008-06-17 13:23:00 As California begins to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples this week, let us hope that ceremonies more resemble that of the first performed in San Francisco this year, that of Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 84, a lesbian together well over half a century than the “wacky circus” atmosphere outside San Francisco City ...

To Understand Bush-hatred, Just Study the Haters
2008-06-17 02:53:00 Going through my accumulated e-mail after my weekend without ready access to my online in-box and just chanced on one from a reader alerting me to JammieWearingFool’s most excellent commentary on the very Huffington Post piece which inspired John’s post yesterday.

Stay classy, HuffPo!
2008-06-16 14:31:00 John McCain was in the navy and then he was in the U.S. Senate. He has never cashed a check a bureaucrat didn’t write. I’m not trying to be glib, and I realize he was doing a solemn and dangerous job, killing people from the sky. But it was still government work. Wait, except for ... More About: Elections , Stay
Obama & Gun Control
2008-06-16 06:04:00 I guess, just like every typical American Liberal, Obama is a flip-flopper too. This time on gun control. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” — Barack Obama, Remarks At Fundraiser, Philadelphia, PA, 6/14/08 I guess you could say that Obama was for gun control (his entire political career) before he was against it ...

Wedding Bells May Ring Flat in CA
2008-06-16 05:17:00 Ah yes, the dawning of Court-Mandated Same-Sex Marriages today in California. Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks there will be a negative reaction from mainstream America ns in the coming months. Gay marriage is a reality in California this coming week, and it has apparently made a whole bunch of queer lawyers and activists ... More About: Wedding , Ring , Flat
We, The People Get It!Drill Now!
2008-06-14 12:39:00 If every Member of Congress is taking this survey of their constituents, and is honest about the results, I think we’d be drilling off-shore in our waters by the end of 2008.

Vera Reflects On Clash of Kingdoms
2008-06-14 06:31:00 So, the Queen is dead — long live the Prince! Well, she?s not actually dead — more like dethroned ?- and she?s probably more dangerous now than ever before. But the Prince ?- and his full court press of followers ?- will only discover that later, when it?s too late to do anything about it. That ...

Hillary Clinton fanatics keep fight alive
2008-06-13 11:10:00 Some of Hillary Clinton ’s die-hard supporters are plotting to stop Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, or more realistically, at the polls in November. Though Clinton folded her campaign last Saturday and endorsed Obama, a few Hillary activists still hope to somehow convince superdelegates to award her the nomination at the Aug. 25-28 convention in ...

2008-06-12 20:15:00 Back in late January/early February, right after my Rudy exited the race for the Republican nomination, I found myself in the unusual position of being undecided in a political contest. Given my commitment to conservative ideas, it seemed I would end up supporting former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as I was closer to him on the ... More About: Random Thoughts , Voting
Gay Marriage & the Tone-Deaf California Legislature
2008-06-12 18:45:00 Taking issue yesterday with Patrick Range McDonald’s criticism of the current campaign to defeat this fall’s California ballot proposition which would amend the state constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman, Alex Blaze of the Bilerico Project suggests that Golden State LGBT activists are neither tone deaf nor political ...

Why Do (Supposedly) Thinking People Prefer Obama?
2008-06-12 17:42:00 Reading again today about how, in the recent contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama “carried white voters in only two places–state capitals and university towns,” I wondered yet again why those in university towns, the well-educated and apparently thinking set would so enthusiastically support a man whose primary appeal is emotional.

2008-06-11 12:08:00 I’ve just signed the petition. You should too. Or you can allow the hypocritical Democrats who have been blocking domestic energy exploration for decades to continue to drive your destiny. They don’t want to create “energy independence”… they want more control over your lives. If Senator Obama WERE a “different kind of politician,” he would ... More About: Drill
Will Leftists Still be Trying to Impeach Bush & Cheney After they Leave Off

?Tone Deaf? Campaign to Defeat CA Marriage Initiative?
2008-06-11 01:57:00 In January, after attending a meeting the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center announcing a new initiative, LetCaliforniaRing, to promote gay marriage in California, I faulted the group’s campaign video for doing little that is likely to “change minds.” Their campaign seemed designed not to those voters skeptical of changing the state definition of ...
