What a wonderful new day in America. The people have risen up and placed Obama and Democrats in charge of redirecting the future of our country. But, my overwhelming joy is tempered by great sadness that Prop 8 has passed here in California.

When I wrote this I had no idea it could be even worse for the GOP'ers:

My little brother killed himself at the end of August, and only now can I write about it now. He put a .38 in his mouth one Sunday morning, and pulled the trigger. He was 28.

My sisters and I are finding out more about why he did this as the weeks progress, and the most shocking thing that has come up is that current the issues on the world stage fed his intense depression.

There is now such an incredible deluge of information coming at us, of Repug incompetence, nastiness, idiocy, and dare I say, treason, that tonight I feel...hold me...optimistic. Read More

YES! We nabbed Al Qaida's senior barber today in Iraq, so says Reuters:

"'The Barber's' duties included altering senior al Qaeda in Iraq members' appearances by dying hair color, altering hairstyles and changing facial hair in their efforts to evade capture," the military said in the statement.

...thank god too. I was really getting upset that maniacs like this guy are free to roam the free world. I mean, how many other terrorist organization's "do's" was this bastard primping? Read More

Houston, Texas always seems to be the very bedrock of the modern GOP. My wife's family is from there, and when I visit, I feel like I am walking amongst a foreign, pampered breed. There's plenty of bright smiles with impossibly straight teeth, and eyes that peer mercilously from streaky oh-so rigid hairsprayed locks...always reminds me that I need to have that large tattoo "Liberal Jew" removed from my forehead (we all make mistakes).

Oh, but lately something seems to have changed. Changed so very, very much. At least accoridng to my mother-in-law, who now contemplates moving from this USofA to another country...but...to where? Read More

Wow, such incredible thoughts and passionate feelings in these diaries. My tin-foil hat is getting badly rumpled from my putting it on and off all damned day long. Is there really such machiavellian hatred in the world? Is it really my time to face the approaching din of thunderous galloping of the four horsemen? Read More
