Originally from the midwest by way of southern California.
Educated primarily by Jesuits.
Politically active since 1988.
Longtime bicycle rider and owner of two old Volvos.
I had no choice. Owned seven different late 70's to mid 80's Audis.
Two favorite cars from the past, 1971 VW 411 and 1971 BMW 2002.
Worst car I eve owned, 1972 Chevrolet Vega. Damn you Motor Trend 1972 COY!
If I were an evangelical neo-conservative wingnut, I would swear that 11-02-2010 was the day of the Appocalypse.
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have revealed themselves along with Glenn Beck as "familiars."
I am absolutley sure George W. Bush is the Antichrist!!
Long for the days of respectable and "truly" god-fearing Republicans, some of whom I campaigned for and helped to get elected before their party became Satan's USA Chapter in 1996.
Next to these guys, the W.A.R. doesn't just look like a benevolent society, they are.
Their founder, Tom Metzger, is a better man and a better citizen than any current member of the Republican hiearchy.
You know you're in trouble when you can say that about the former head of the Ku Klux Klan!
Recovering Roman Catholic. Have been a regular church choir and Catholic Community Gospel Choir member for several years.
I share this to establish that I follow the truth wherever it leads me.
I favor true bi-partisanship in dealing with any issue.
Normally, no party, position or belief system has all the answers.
The greatest successes I have ever been personally involved in occurred when all legitimate stakeholders were a party to the effort to fix the problem and or expand on the opportunity.
The clever way Americans voted in the last election shows they still have enough residual sanity to want a truly bipartisan government.
Too bad Mitch McConnell doesn't agree with them.
Greatest books I ever read, The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck, and Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Which led me indirectly to the geatest book I am ever going to read, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: A New Spiritual Classic from One of the Foremost Interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism to the West, by Rinpoche Sogyal.
The guy is wise, reasonable and has an excellent sense of American humor.
The Dalai Lama wrote the introduction to his book.
I really don't think you can do any better than that.
As bleak as things look, based on his accomplishments to date, and the successes he "will" figure out how to achieve in the future; I am sure Barack Obama will turn out to be one of the greatest national leaders in the history of the world.
All good things I have ever accomplished and will accomplish in the future come from having won the parental lottery.
My parents are not perfect, but they have more of the good stuff in their little fingers than all the oligarchs, terrorists and pedophile priest and their papal protectors in their entire lineage.
Glad to make all of your acquaintances.
