Evan Sayet, former writer for Bill Maher:
Imagine being in a restaurant with an old friend and you’re catching up. And suddenly he blurts out, “I hate my wife.” And you kind of chuckle to yourself because he says it every time you’re together, and you know he doesn’t hate his wife… they’ve been together for 35 years. He loves his daughters and they’re just like her. No, he doesn’t hate his wife. Then you’re having some dinner, and you look out the window and spot his wife… and she’s being beaten up. And you grab your friend, and you say, “Come on, let’s help her, let’s help your wife!” And he says, “Nah… I’m sure she deserves it.” At that moment, it dawns on you: he really does hate his wife.
Well that’s what 9-11 was to me. I would hear my friends from the Left say how evil and horrible and racist and imperialistic and oppressive America is, and I’d laugh to myself, Eh they always say that, they love America. And then on 9-11 we were beaten up. And I grabbed them by the collar, and I jumped up and said, “Come on, let’s help her, let’s help America!” And they said, “No… she deserves it.” At that moment, I realized: they really do hate America.
I always appreciate the perspective of poltical “switchers.” Video after the break. It’s a long watch, but worth it.

Ha! Come on, you have to agree this is funny.

Is this real?
My friend, and longtime gay community photographer, Bill Wilson sent over this photo, which he took this morning, of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at Glide Memorial Methodist Church in the Tenderloin neighborhood. Very pleased to see Gavin deploring the direct mail piece with all his boy-king fury.
I didn’t want to get out my Jump to Conclusions mat out too quickly, but would it be wrong to offer up a hearty laugh at the prospect of a “Glide Memorial Methodist Church in the Tenderloin neighborhood” of a gay community? I mean, come on!

This is the kind of genius that I wish I could churn out. Hmm… maybe if I got more sleep…
I do admit I am a little worried about Ahmedwhatshisname getting nukes and Putin rolling into Europe, with only Obama’s charisma to stop them. I had never really thought of let’s all play nicely together as a foreign policy since it doesn’t even work with kids. But hey, is that really my problem? He has like a zillion brilliant foreign policy advisers and I’m sure they’ll figure something clever out. I can no longer afford a trip to Israel anyway and I assume pictures of it will be archived on the internet.

I enjoy conversations on other blogs, and in one I’ve been following lately, a foreign Socialist interjected with his thoughts. Mine follow.
Not to break up this discussion or anything; but SO WHAT if obama has a preference for marxism? SERIOUSLY? This absurd clinging of the United States to pure capitalism is precisely what has caused its downfall. Hellooo? Economical crisis anyone? Caused, in fact, by pure, uncontrolled, capitalism?
Most european nations and governments apply certain socialist principles to their democratic governments to promote their citizens rights and give them a better life, all the while preventing big companies from taking over and those who are too greedy from having ALL the money (even rich, powerful countries like the UK and Germany). True, it isn’t PURE capitalism, but that’s why it’s good. It seems that at some point you americans decided that letting people fight for their lives and money in an unfair race where some started almost at the end is better than giving everyone the chance to live dignified lives. I thought this was about PEOPLE. about making the world a BETTER place for EVERYONE. But maybe I was wrong.
I just find it astounding how so many of you let the outdated anticommunist propaganda of the past affect you, to the degree that, while the world has moved on and decided to work with the best of both systems, you still doggedly cling on to one that has proven itself insufficient. SERIOUSLY.
socialism and communism aren’t evil, they just trust humans too much. STALIN was evil. BIG difference.
