It has been a week since my last post — a week of sinus congestion, cold medicines, insulin and blood sugar vacillations, our first two soccer games, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. Today is Easter. Today we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. As He did so, He founded Christianity. As Father [...]

I was standing in the line at the S&S Cafeteria waiting on my to-go order when a gentleman in front of me pointed at the palm cross pinned to my lapel and said,”I thought that was next week.” I patiently explained that Easter came early this year, and that Palm Sunday was today. “Really, ” he [...]

I have noticed that on this site commenting politics generates more traffic than anything else. Commenting on politics today is just so easy to do. Poetry and science get less traffic, but they interest me a lot more. So, from now on, I will resist the urge to ridicule the “body politik” and instead write [...]

I Copied Glenn Beck’s column verbatim today. I couldn’t agree more.
NEW YORK (CNN) – What do these stories all have in common?.
A woman who says she lost more $1 million gambling in Atlantic City sues some casinos for $20 million, claiming they should’ve stopped her compulsive gambling.
People who bought houses they couldn’t afford with loans [...]
The Effort at a Sonnet

This is an ongoing effort to actually write a sonnet. I don’t think the subject is sonnetical ( I love making up words), but I want the form to fit. I don’ t think it is there yet.
Sergeant J. Doe
Buildings should stand proud and white,
Not covered with boards of failing stripe.
Tattered standards of shame flying [...]
The End of the Spitzer Thing
Posted in Politics on March 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I am down with the Spitzer thing. The press this morning is salivating over the “high class prostitute” and the world of high priced call girls. Remember, please, rants the press and the talking heads, these girls are not monsters. No folks, they are whores. They sell their bodies and sex for money to whoever [...]

Don’t ever forget the race card, Ms. Ferraro.
Come Home, Al

Reverend Sharpton, while you are dallying in Florida, the moral high ground of your home-state is sinking. Where is the moral outrage, the righteous indignation? I am sure that Spitzer could use your non-judgemental support in this time of personal adjustment. Come home, Al, they need you.
A Note to The Wife of Love Client #9
Posted in Politics on March 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday, I wrote that Spitzer’s wife, Silda, should leave him and take the children. Today, I discovered that she was advising Spitzer to ride out the storm created by his dallying in whoredom and not resign. Okay, I surrender. Maybe the whole problem with Spitzer is that he felt that it was worth the money [...]
Listen to Nancy Lieberman, Silda!
Posted in Politics on March 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
At the news conference where the Democratic Governor of New York (turn about is fair play) admitted that he had dealings with a house of prostitution, his wife Silda stood stoically by his side. It seems as if she will follow the accepted “graceful” road and “stand by her man.” Of course, staying the course might not launch [...]
