Liveblogging the Democratic National Convention

normally I threaten (in jest, I assure you) some vague, unmentionable fate for a cute puppy if you don't listen ... but today's show is quite the opposite, as I dedicate it to my friend Theresa's brand-new Shih-Tzu puppies, born this morning after a rather lengthy labor. I should know -- I was over there monitoring the situation all evening last night before finally giving up and going home ... anyway, I hear the puppies and the bitch are fine -- and so is the mother of the puppies.

VP job has come a long way since it was a ‘warm bucket of spit’

John Nance Garner, a former House Speaker who became one of FDR’s vice presidents, is widely credited with having said that the VP’s office isn’t worth “a warm bucket of spit,” though reporters are rumored to have changed the spelling of the last word to make it appropriate for publication. Of course, that was nearly 80 years ago. Since then, Al Gore became one of the most powerful VPs in history, and then Dick Cheney radically expanded the power of the vice presidency (to the extent that he e read

A bucket of warm piss

The Hill asked all 97 U.S. senators not running for president whether they would accept the vice presidential nomination ... and their responses are, in a word, revealing. Here's an intriguing sample of what some senators had to say about the prospect of taking on the job that one former vice president, John Nance Garner (D-Tex.), famously described as "not worth a bucket of warm piss." Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) “I know already who it will be: the man in charge of the search. There’s no n read

The Moving Finger….

The Moving Finger…. Posted in May 15th, 2008 by Technorati Search for: digital cameras in Uncategorized When Hillary Clinton made her gaffe about running the gauntlet of fire in Kosovo, there was a lot of editorial comment in the press about memory and how a person edits it. I got interested in the discussion and went and did some research, culminating in reading a book called White Gloves, How We Create Ourselves Through Memory, by John Kotre. This book turned out to be a bit off the topic I w read

Gay Marriage is Legal in California

California joins Massachusetts. I’ll be interested to read the decision when I get the chance. As for me, let me reiterate my usual point. I am not categorically opposed to gay marriage. However, I think we’re rushing too fast to change human relationships that have been fixed across all human cultures for thousands of years: marriage is between a man and a woman. Even polygamy doesn’t mess with that basic (and biological) principle. I prefer more thought before getting pushed politically int read

California State Supreme Court Says Same Sex Marriage Is A Constitutional Right

But — Do Not Expect A Mass Exodus Of Closeted, Toe-Tapping Republicans To Flock To “The Golden State” INDEED. If I have the Constitutional “right” to marry my lovely wife, then so shall G.O.P. darlins’ Larry Craig and Ted Haggard have that same Constitutional “right” to come out of their lonely “closets” to marry each other, though we can all rest assured neither man will be “publicly-pleased” with today’s ruling by the California State Supreme Court to grant that right to them. “Activist j read

The California Supreme Court: The Court of What's Happening Now

The California Supreme Court presumed today to write new law, ushering in the brave new world of gay marriage for our nation's most populous state. An activist majority of its justices elected to sway with the prevailing cultural breezes. For those who maintain that it will not happen in North Carolina, I suggest the opposite. It, in fact, will eventually happen here if we elect judges who will be predisposed to this type of mischief. read
