I'm really afraid that our beloved country, America, is standing on its last wobbly legs. I'm worried that the karmic effects of our negative actions will finally come home to roost.
The invitation said, "Archery Tournament. Bring a photo of your most hated enemy. I will supply bows, arrows, feasting, and vodka." Our cohort had vendettas against Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Paris Hilton, the Pope, Octomom and Dick Cheney.
This weekend is the perfect time for Obama to announce he's repealing "don't ask, don't tell" and committing to a full-throated endorsement of gay marriage. But of course that's not going to happen.
The real question raised by this "great achievement" of Obama is "Will he actually deliver?"
The far right is daily being chased back into the margins, where it belongs. All that's left of their movement is a relative handful of confused, misguided know-nothings being manipulated and led by a cynical elite.
We're in a no-kidding crucial situation. Unless someone will stand up and (metaphorically) shout "you lie!" to those who are lying, we may find one day that there is no one left to speak for us.
It is worth remembering that Glenn Beck is not blocking the passage of a good health care bill. The old and new carny acts of the right aren't undermining the energy legislation or frustrating financial reform. To focus on who and what is standing in the way -- follow the money.
Should I be worried about Glenn Beck? In my long experience, when advertisers boycott media it's media that's too out there in a too-permissive liber...

Perhaps it's the rallies or the fundraising or the demonstrably false attacks that have kept Obama from appearing on Fox. Regardless, the right's gravy train rolls on undeterred, facts be damned.
Very few of us have made any attempt to really reach out to the teabaggers on the issues that we share with them. We could lock arms with them and form a powerful alliance; but instead we attack each other.
Senator Graham, why the sudden urge to take the high road? Do you think these senseless attacks are hurting the Republican Party more than President Obama?
Glenn Beck is unlikely to moderate his position unless his corporate paymasters instruct him to do so. And if they do, he'll lose the base of fringe right idiots who tune into his show on a nightly basis.
After the summer of townhalls and what's shaping up as the autumn of Glenn Beck, it is hard to see things through David Brooks' bifocals.
Chicago was never the favorite, even if Oprah thought it was. All it takes is a quick understanding of how the IOC votes, who the 100 IOC voters are, and which way the international wind is blowing.
In recent years, the punch lines have grown less crisp and the "rolling naturalism" has tumbled away from the satire that made Doonesbury the only comic strip I once made a point of reading.
You know we're in trouble when a major political party openly roots for its own country to lose, as Republicans did for President Obama's bid to win the 2016 Olympics for Chicago.
Recent illogical bloviation by politicians and pundits brings to mind the summer's passing of two writer friends and colleagues, each of whom had a sure grasp of mass hysteria.
