American Digest, has an item on the GOP gay purge he points to Roger L. Simon who notes:


Meanwhile, does anyone think it is ironic that so-called progressives who excoriated eavesdropping on terrorists are feasting on the publication of supposedly confidential email and IMs?


Lastly, Roger closes with this thought:

I have been reminded once again just how bad we are at bringing our best into the political arena. I know when I rail on here about the weakness of our two party system, many attack me for casting aspersions on our big tents. But let me ask you one thing, if the best those tents can come up with to lead the largest deliberative body of the most powerful country on Earth are Dennis Hastert and Nancy Pelosi, isn't it time to start asking some serious questions?


I feel exactly the same way. I'm seriously considering staying home on election day. I can't vote for the Democrats because they're idiots. I can't vote Republicans because they're hapless and idiots. I can't vote Libertarian because they're ideologues who don't live in the real world. Greens? Don't get me started.

The only possible reason I'll head to the polls is the GWOT. I think the Democrats are ready to fold and have offered nothing in the way of an actual plan to fight Islamic terror. They make noise about doing it "better" or "smarter". Nonsense about "real security" with no substance. Senator MarryMoney makes absurd claims like the war between Israel and Hezbollah wouldn't have happened if he'd been President. How he'd be screening every cargo container coming into the US and how he'd force North Korea to make some sort of deal. Either he's insane or he thinks I'm an idiot. Either proposition keeps me from ever voting for him. He isn't the only one, he's just an example of the message I get from his side of the aisle. One of the few Democrats who get it was thrown under the bus by his own party. That bodes very poorly for the future of the party and our country.

For Gerard

 Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them.  I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up.    Gerard of American Digest was one such writer.  His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable.  I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link.  I literally had zero readers.  Just like now.  But that was the measure of the man.  He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link.   The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person.  Morgan and Gerard were friends.  They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works.   I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man.  He's dying now.  If

So....the autism thing

Since April is nearly over and it's autism awareness month, I suppose I should talk a bit about it. I guess the best way to start is to rehash the story of How I Got Here. My oldest was born in 1999. Healthy, happy and so on. One peculiar thing he did as an infant was to avoid eye contact. Our doctor assured us it was because he was so young and his eyesight was undeveloped and he was probably focusing on something in the background that was more interesting. Besides, babies don't recognize faces for a few months after birth. Only later did we find out that our doctor was an idiot. He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know?
