This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

The Old Ways...
 
Today I caught a snippet of Tony Blankley of the Washington Times on some Sunday morning talk show.

When asked whether he thought anti-gay sentiments fueled a higher turnout for George Bush he refused to accept the premise of the question.

A lesson we should learn... every time someone asks about "values".

Excuse me, are you saying we don't have values?

-----o-----


larre, over at The Left Coaster recounts a story of a phone call to some relatives in Ohio on the eve of the election. Sure of their situation and the ramifications a Bush re-election would have on their lives, he was not prepared for their answer:

"Oh yes, we'll be voting," the wife said, "for President Bush."

"Bush?" I was stunned. "Why?"

"Because, you know, we are Christians."

Still reeling from her first unexpected answer, all I could think to reply was, "John Kerry's a lifelong Catholic. So, he's a Christian too, right?"

The wife -- this mild mannered, shy, quiet woman -- snorted. Even over the telephone, there was an unmistakably ugly, even vicious quality to the sound.

"He's not as Christian as we are."

He's not as Christian as we are? He's not as Christian as we are???


And here we thought mindless tribalism died around the same time we discovered antibiotics?
