This morning, I did something I don’t normally do in LA. I scanned (& read) the New York Times (my Mom subscribes to the print edition).
I wonder if it’s being around my family where the women are Democrats, the men Republicans that has made me less inclined to write about politics.
Today, as my Mom, now at home, has been doing much better, I decided to visit the two houses where I lived as a child.
550 metric tons of “yellowcake” uraninium, the “last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program” removed from Iraq.
After my sister returned to the hospital to spend the balance of the evening with my Mom, I returned on I-71 to my brother’s where I am currently staying.
Today, my brother who had sat with my Mom when she was in her operation joined my sister, step-sister and myself in my Mom’s hospital room and showed us a picture he had received in an e-mail.
In his constant flipping and flopping, Obama shows that his followers supporters’ hopes notwithstanding, he’s just another typical politician.
I flew into Cincinnati yesterday to be with the PatriotMomWest as she recovers from back surgery and to spend Independence Day with my sister who flew in from San Francisco as well as my brother who still lives in the town where we grow up.
There doesn’t seem to be any issue on which Obama hasn’t changed his position in the course of this campaign.
Well, except maybe poor Jimmah.
Recently, I sent Limbaugh an e-mail message, his preferred means of long-distance communication, asking what his own presidential agenda would look like.
Reading my letter to the editor (full text included below) of the San Francisco Chronicle correcting an misrepresentation of my research on monogamy and gay groups which appeared in an Op-ed that paper published last Thursday reminded me yet again how few gay advocates of gay marriage understand the institution they’re advocating.
I’m don’t remember when I first heard a gay leftist dismiss gay Republicans as self-loathing.
At the recent African Union summit in Egypt, member nations failed to condemn Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s President-for-Life, for stealing the election from opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai.
In response to my quoting Jonathan Rauch’s observation that that honest advocacy of same-sex marriage “requires acknowledging that same-sex marriage is a significant social change.
Not normally in favor of legislation which limits our freedom, I find myself in an odd position today, delighted about a new California law banning the use of handheld cellphones when driving taking effect.
Along with Jonathan Rauch, Dale Carpenter is one of those rare advocates of gay marriage who can make a compelling case for “this expansion of the meaning of marriage” (as the editors of the LA Times puts it) to a conservative audience.
In a post this morning, I noted that Andrew Sullivan called General Wesley Clark’s recent attacks on John McCain “revolting” and “repulsive.
When working on his piece on presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s letter supporting Proposition 8 which would enshrine the traditional definition of marriage in the California constitution, LA Weekly writer Patrick Range McDonald contacted me for a comment on this decision.
Shortly after posting my piece wondering if the sensible Andrew Sullivan were returning, I checked his blog a little more regularly had was my wont in recent months.
My silence from the blog this coming week will be intentional as PatriotPartner and I pack up the gas-guzzling 1999 Ford Explorer and head to the South Carolina beaches.
