“Instantaneous Gratification” is a concept for those who lack vision. Say what you will, but Islam has never been short on “vision.” Many are still fighting the Crusades. Grudges from generations ago still weigh heavy on the minds of many Muslims, and they pass those down to their progeny to mete vengeance at the appropriate time – whether that means ten, or one hundred years later.

It’s nice as American citizens to get a piece of good news about our country every once in awhile, and especially in the midst of so much bad. I bring such news, although it’s selective in its goodness. It’s not good to those of us who, like the First Lady, are just now proud of our country for the first time in our adult lives. Neither will it sound all that great to those who love America ...
You can call me a bigot for opposing the Ground Zero mosque, I don’t mind—I’ve already been branded a racist and a tea-bagger for opposing Obama’s far-left agenda. It seems that there’s an awful lot of racist, teabagging, Islamophobe bigots out there hiding amongst us, though—since Time is citing polls showing that 70% of Americans feel the Ground Zero mosque is “an insult to the vi...
I have been a fan of singer/songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins for nearly 15 years now. It all started when I was 16 years old. I was driving home from my job bagging groceries and listening to the radio when I heard one of the most enchanting, sweet and harmonious songs that I had ever had the pleasure to experience. From its opening instrumentals and vocals to its ending fade out, it absolutely ...
Honestly, I’d never heard of Edward Abbey that I recall until this morning. I’m doing some research on the guy and, while I disagree with some of his ideas, I like the guy a lot. The guy has an uncanny ability to tell it like it is with the sweet, beautiful, bitter sarcasm and snarkiness that I’m in love with. He’s like a more modern version of Mark Twain, in the same minds...
From the cradle, most of us are taught certain social mores that make us more tolerable to our peers. Manners, and other “appropriate behavior.” And this is a good thing. It makes us more “tolerable” to those around us. As social mores change, our behaviors change. The “Women’s Liberation Movement” changed a lot of the things we teach or were taught (how many men still stand up when ...
Well, as you’re probably aware, I was able to meet up with David Smith, who is running for Congress in the Texas 2nd District against Republican, Ted Poe. We met up in Houston last weekend while I was while talking with Steve Susman. David and Steve are friends and are both passionate about the issues we’re facing as a Country and the specific issues that affect the folks in their dist...
Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Steve Susman, who is running for Congress in the 22nd Texas District against Pete Olson. Steve is good friends with another candidate named David Smith who is running against Ted Poe in the Texas 2nd District, and David decided to join us as well. Both men are running as Libertarians against Republican incumbents, and both have a pretty good showi...
If you’re a politically-based, liberal comedian (are there other kinds?), I don’t envy you in this current climate. I mean, how much longer are Sarah Palin and her hapless family going to prop you up on stage or keep the writers’ room fresh? You have a real problem. The folks who are allowed by the establishment to be targeted, derided, and humiliated—the folks on the right—just aren’t...
Arguments that you will hear often from statists of both stripes (Democrats/liberals and Republicans/conservatives) are quite humorous. I find that once their logic is pointed out as flawed, suddenly all types of insults invade the air. Here is a list of things that you’ll find prevalent: Conservative: Sinner! Liberal: Dummy! Conservative: Socialist! Liberal: Fascist! Conservative: Commie!...
