Over at Balloon Juice, Annie Laurie has found this interesting video that analyzes the way Donald Trump uses language and how he organizes his thoughts. Bottom line: Because Trump is a salesman more than a politician, he is focused on closing the deal and creating a sense of urgency to buy his

Coming full circle
Back in 2008, I wrote two posts about the subject of gay marriage, coming down rather firmly against the idea. The recent events in Indiana, coupled with the somewhat disturbing efforts of people like David Green to enforce their screwed up views of right and wrong have now convinced me

I was a Republican for a very long time. Over 26 years to be exact. But the party I supported was the party that tried actually to improve the lot of average Americans in many ways. The Republican Party used to be a center-right party, conservative but mainstream. Now it’s the

Happy New Year to all. Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! Kotoshi mo yorishku onegai shimasu. I , unfortunately had a quiet new years, definitely not the one I wanted to spend skiing. You can thank the S.O. for that because of continued inabilty to make a decision and her repeated failure to

So I don't have to listen to assholes like Ted Cruz babble on for 21 hours. Law #1: Godwin’s Corollary Law of Teabagging Congress “As any Teabagger protest in Congress grows longer, the odds of a comparison involving the Nazis or Hitler approaches ’1.’ Corollary: The first person to mention
