I never read a book I didn't enjoy
Sun Oct 11, 2009 8:54 PM EDT
If I didn't enjoy it, I didn't read it. Simple as that. That's how I exploited my WASP heritage- and squandered it. I'd pick up a thick book, and if I liked it, I'd take my time reading it.

Bill Maher: New Rule: Everyone Deserves Equal Rights
Seeded on Fri Oct 9, 2009 8:40 PM EDT (The Huffington Post)
New Rule: Everyone deserves equal rights. That's why they're called "equal" and "rights." Tomorrow night President Obama will speak before a gay rights group, and on Sunday there will be a massive gay rally in Washington, or as I call it, the Million Mo March.

Why I am grateful for Joe Wilson and racist fury
Seeded on Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:50 AM EDT (theloop21.com)
I'm not sure when it first hit me that the future of our country, particularly when it comes to race relations, is really looking up. Perhaps it was when a member of the Boston Police Department referred to Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. as a "banana-eating jungle monkey."

Comments & Feedback
I'd like to react to your reaction to mine:you ,in an attempt at irony, a poor one alas!make a reference to Hitler, identifying the intervention against Hitler with wars of aggression.
The US participation in the war , a tardy and well-nigh reluctant one, the more so as Nazi sympathizers were numerous in the country,cannot be likened to an act of aggression, albeit the various theories about the origins of the Second World War; in any case,the US did not intervene because of pride : they were in fact dragged into the war.
As far 1812 is concerned, I was hoping everybody, including you, would have understood that I meant that it was the only time when the US was actually threatened on its own territory.And I'm being generous when I speak of Indian land as being US territory.
The US no war mongering party? Oh come on.Where do you want to start? In Afghanistan? In Iraq? In Grenada? In Panama ? In Yugoslavia ? Chile 73 ?Chile 1891? Nicaragua ? Haiti? Vietnam? Shall I continue ?
It's just too bad,but that's how it is.
This having been said, I'd , willingly choosing to be oblivious to the past, say that, given the present geopolitical configuration , the US can play a major role in promoting world peace.I know that many ,countless Americans subscribe to this.But will the US Government and, more importantly, the invisible government of the US, have any thought for world peace?
