  1. I have discovered after beginning to participate in politics in a serious fashion in ’07, I am considered by the left, and even on the right, a lot of things that everyone would consider unsavory.

    This reminds me of a article James Jackson wrote on “prejudice” and its relation to the left.

    “Which brings me to the smug liberal-left. As self-appointed guardians of modern orthodoxy and rigorous policers of our thoughts, these touchy-feely fascists go after dissenters with preachy and puritanical zeal. After all, to be left-of-centre is enlightened, while to be on the right is regarded as beyond the pail. Yet in my experience, the most blinkered, judgemental and lacking in common warmth are these brothers and sisters of the Left (ask the chauffeurs who have ferried Labour ministers around Britain for the past thirteen years).”

  4. 1) I never understood what was wrong with Mongoloid — especially being a Devo fan.

    2) OFF-TOPIC: I had TWO — count ’em — TWO shots of Miss Hendricks posted from NY Mag at 0826 this morning. As Don Corleone said to Michael [in the book] when he found out his son had enlisted in the Marines after 07 December: You would rather give your loyalty to strangers?
