One Fine Jay

Charisma

Governor Arnold’s speech (I won’t attempt to spell his last name; I am drunk), his lovefest for America speaks volumes for the way American Dream Immigrants see the way they are becoming Americans. Make no mistake: despite the embellishments that may come with his rhetoric, I am not ashamed to say right now, that the… Continue reading this entry

The name of the game

How could it be, that two of the most liberal supporters of the Republican party can articulate the case for re-electing President Bush? Maybe because they know the name of the game, and can freely transcend ideological lines to make a case that only the truest of true unbelievers can reject. I saw John McCain’s… Continue reading this entry

The sum of the parts

There comes in the growth and maturity of one who ponders politics when cogito, ergo sum gives way to sum, ergo cogito. It is left to those who still ascribe to the former schema of formulating policy positions and opinions in their ponderances to keep those who ascribe to the latter in sync with the… Continue reading this entry

Which witch is which?

The Kerry sisters were booed by the audience at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they asked those present to vote for their father, John Kerry. I have only two possible explanations for such a reception. First, maybe the audience, collectively was so dumb as to think they are the Bush twins, despite any announcements… Continue reading this entry

DCGB Meetup

Yesterday morning I decided to meet Boi From Troy, who, with the help of Chris Safer, organized the DC GayBloggers meetup event held at Trio’s Fox and Hounds. I have been meaning to meet BFT for quite some time now; ever since I designed his blog this February I have wanted to thank him in… Continue reading this entry

Diet-free blogistan

Beth Donovan has the second Carnival of the Recipes. With so many entries and on such a regular, weekly basis, it will be a Sisyphean task to try out all the featured dishes that have been submitted by willing participants, even after weeding out the ones that I do not find interesting (which, by the… Continue reading this entry

Wrong, wrong, wrong… and wrong!

I hate it when I have to quote Robert Byrd (of all people) in talking about the sheer stupidity with which the Bush campaign is approaching the issue of attack ads from 527s. In this CNN article: LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (CNN) — President Bush wants to work with Sen. John McCain to take legal… Continue reading this entry

I love my ISP

Surely, there are plenty of complaints about one’s internet service provider: connection availability, speed, additional features and services, and what not. However, I’m also one to believe that I wouldn’t be griping once I considered the alternative cable internet providers in my state. Here are some screenshots just to prove my point. Speed (c/o Bandwidth… Continue reading this entry

Enough already, Part II

No one on American soil right now gets a free pass over charges of betraying the country. Not those who were too old to fight back in the Viet Nam war, not those who were too young, not those who were disabled, not those who were born subsequently, nor those who have immigrated since then.… Continue reading this entry

Close call

Jeff Quinton cites an article about a Hamas operative filming Maryland’s Bay Bridge. Did he say Hamas? If it were Hezbollah, I’d immediately assume it were Michael Moore.
