    Hope, Change - or More of the Same

    Published November 26th, 2008

    Barack Obama has one and millions of lefties seem to think that its the second coming, that Big O is going to lead us all into a future Democrat utopia. OK, maybe not that bad - but close. Much of the progressive wing of the Dem party (and I consider myself to be pretty much […]

    A Sad Conclusion

    Published November 11th, 2008

    I haven’t posted much on the passage of Prop 8. I’ve tried to consolidate my thoughts on it, gauge what is going on, sentiment and legality. I’ve listened to people I deeply agree with and vehemently disagree with - people I know very well or nearly not at all. Mostly I’ve been frustrated, sad and […]

    Liberal Mandate Follow-up

    Published November 7th, 2008

    Sometimes you come across something that is far better thought out and better researched than your own opinions. I came across an article like that today in The New Republic. In it, John B. Judis argues that the current Democratic shift in America has been happening for some time and was simply interrupted by 9/11. […]

    The Liberal Mandate

    Published November 6th, 2008

    I positively bristle when people try to characterize the US as a center-right country. I was offended by conservatives who called George W. Bush’s 2004 win (by 1% in the popular vote, 3.5M votes, and a one-state 286-252 electoral victory) a conservative mandate. Don’t remember that? Let’s get a quick taste of what was said:
    Q: […]

    Not My President

    Published October 29th, 2008

    For the past 8 years I have lived in a country led by a man I often vehemently disagreed with. I have insulted him in many ways, called him unintelligent, wondered if he was even paying attention to what was happening to this country. The more things he said and did, the less I liked […]

    Friday Music for the Masses

    Published October 24th, 2008

    For a Friday where I can hardly keep my eyes open, here’s an ethereal track for you all:
    Making Me Fall (Adam Sheridan Mix) - Aven

    Looking for a Date?

    Published October 22nd, 2008

    If you’re willing to pay for an encounter, San Francisco might soon be the place. Soon SF residents will be voting on Prop K, which would prevent enforcement of prostitution laws within the city. It would also allow prostitutes to form collectives - unions, essentially. (Side note, Rhode Island allows sex for cash behind closed […]

    Whirlwind Day, FoFlympics Tomorrow

    Published October 3rd, 2008

    Thanks to the “little” announcement at work this morning, I’ve been pretty out of sorts all day. There’s not enough details available to me to weigh any options yet - but of course I’m damn near freaking out and re-evaluating pretty much everything. While I don’t necessarily feel “at home” in Burbank, even now, I […]

    Quiet

    Published October 3rd, 2008

    Been quiet on here, I know. Just haven’t had blogging motivation of late. Some notes:
    Playoffs are here. Kickball, that is. My team has it’s first round playoff game Monday. We have the ability to win, so we’d better do so.
    Playoffs are here. Cubs are down 0-2. Everything else I might say you should be able […]
