Obama’s Willing Executioners, Part II

Last Friday, as I was preparing for a friend’s birthday party, the word came down from on high that Obama’s Department of Justice had filed a brief in the case of Smelt v. the United States. The brief cites a number of cases in which states determine independently of any federal law who can marry [...]

Our Billion Dollar President

So far it has cost nearly one billion dollars to get Barack Obama elected and inaugurated. That has to be a record breaker. Think how much money that is per vote for him. Whew! And with the stimulus package he is proposing, he won’t be in office a week before he is nearly a two [...]

Gays in the Gulag and Other Futuristic Tales

Someone I know only through Facebook but to whom I donated $10 to go as a delegate for Hillary Clinton to the Democratic National Convention, and who returned as an Obamabot, sent me a card yesterday. It was a picture of the Obama family and two pins with a picture of the Obama family on [...]

My Sin

God knows, I am a sinner. Like all people I disobey God, or I fall into periods where my love for Him is not foremost in my mind. I feel anger, pride, jealousy. And these are all wrong. Although my religion (Catholicism) teaches that there are venial and mortal sins, I do believe any act [...]

Obama denied job in his own administration

In a surprise announcement today, Joe Biden, Vice President-elect, and Obama’s White House chief of staff-select Rahm Emanuel announced that Barack Obama could not have a job in his own administration, because of a questionnaire the President Elect was using to vet potential candidates for the bureaucracy. “Our questionnaire is very thorough,” Biden said. “We want to [...]

Obama’s Willing Executioners

Barack Obama was elected with euphoria on the part of his supporters on Nov. 4, 2008. So starry-eyed was one of my friends he told me, “I think Barack Obama may prove to be one of the greatest presidents in American history.”  Then Prop 8 passed. And the news media reported that 7 out of [...]

When did Obama’s “Victory” become inevitable?

I have been trying to figure out how it is that one can legitimately declare oneself a winner without actually winning. Obama is prepared to do that tonight in Iowa because he is clearly too impatient to wait until June 3, let alone August, and yet every Democratic nominee in recent history has had to wait [...]

Hillary too boring to be president

Yahoo Headline from the Wall Street Journal today: Hillary to Boring to be President. Dammit, why didn’t I see that? Of course she is too boring. Bill was not boring back in the day, but there hasn’t been one boyfriend or girlfriend, one indicted crony, or one crazy minister. No early coke habit to make he [...]

Obama Chooses Alexrod, Beyonce et al for White House Posts

Now that I have helped Obama pick his cabinet, I would like to help him with other problems he is going to face in his First Hundred Days. He needs the right press secretary and there are a lot of gay guys or guys on the down low vying for that job: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, [...]

Obama Cabinet Picks

Now that the Obama presidency is all but inevitable, he needs to get a head start picking his cabinet. I am not speculating on the Vice Presidential position yet, but Bill Richardson, I would not hold my breath. It won’t be Hillary Clinton.
Here are my bets for the cabinet:
Secretary of State: Fareed Zakaria (Madeleine Albright [...]
