“Compromise has become a dirty word,” Obama lamented as congressional leaders groped for a way out of a looming crisis.” [Per Associated Press, by David Espo] Indeed. It seems the more ironic (if not jaw-droppingly obtuse) the statement this President makes, the more often he accidentally says something true. It does not rival the almost transcendental nature of “Don’t call my bluff,” which is logically | Read More »
“Perry is Gay”: Sure, Why Not?

I’ve lived in Texas my entire life, currently in what could be considered a Liberal enclave in Houston. I pay attention to politics, follow the news and keep myself abreast of current events.

For the foreseeable future (read November), each and every time Americans take a small step forward and accomplish something towards undoing the damage currently being committed and contemplated, there will be cries of Racism. The charge will not necessarily make an ounce of sense, fit the context of the moment in any way, and may even be brought against people of the race supposedly being | Read More »
