Question of the Day: Is Meghan McCain the Future of the GOP?

Or a Cylon

I think a Cylon

Who are the Batmen?

Here's a teaser for Batman. Since is "dead" in comics others are taking his place. But who are they?
I am a little excited about this...What's next for the Bat-Family?

This Generation SUCKS

I always feel that our generation (Gen X) are the keepers of he future. We had to do things the manual way, use the real dictionary, and roll down the window. But some of the parents from our generation and the one before has damn near destroy the next brand.


In my line of work see this quite often. Some of these students freak out if their clothes shrunk or if their ringer on their phone isn't loud enough. They also don't know how to cook, check their bank account, or even write a check.

Hell, I was cooking hamburgers at 8, washing dishes at 9, washing clothes at 11, and other things I can't talk about at 14. If these kids are in therapy at 7 and failure in a job interview leads to suicide...Is the future doomed?

What They Talkin 'Bout, Willis?

Obama met with his former adversary, Hill-Hill to see if she would be interested in a role in his administration. The rumor is she could be the next Sec. of State.

Her experience and popularity in other countries could serve her well if chosen. And I'm sure she is well aware of her powers.

But, I wonder if there's something else she may like to do (besides President). She would be great handling healthcare or equal rights. However, her best role could be in the Supreme Court. I think she would be a great asset as a judge.

I'm anxious to see the outcome of this meeting. Who knows, it could be all about nothing.

Prop 8

I believe there will be a chance for hope. I don't think we are done. There are a lot of factors we have to believe in.

For example, under CA law that alterations of fundamental rights cannot to done with a mere amendment via majority vote of the electorate. This would constitute a "revision" of the Cali-cal Constitution would requires 2/3 vote of both Houses of Legislature AND a 2/3 vote by the electorate or alternatively a State Constitutional Convention called by 2/3 vote of both houses.

It could possibly fail there.

Or Prop. 8 could be considered unconstitutional, like the interracial marriage issue was back in the day. Remember Obama's Surpreme CT picks could take it out like an assassin.

I still have hope that it will fail. I have to believe that once the dust settles, Prop 8 will be a distant memory and we will have the most basic right in our society.

Showtime Synergy For Real

I used to think the whole JEM concept was cute but not possible. However on CNN, the used a hologram of Jessica Yellin that was quite remarkable. Check it out


Neat, huh? Who knows what they can do next.

Identity Crisis

The Repubs are having a time trying to figure out their next step. Instead of going up, they've been running around in circles. Mostly because of Moose Mess and the civil war she kinda caused.

One side believes she killing the McCain machine, others believe she represent the core base, and others believe that core base is the dirty secret Repubs want to move away from. That secret is the group of evangelicals, joe dumb-packs, and misinformed. While they serve a purpose during election time, they are quickly shunned once things are over. Almost like that one night stand you liked for an hour and then you're done.

But with all of this mess, the new question should be: Who are the Repubs? Are they the new reformed folks McCain talks about? Are they the common man that Palin represents, or are they still the Reagan Repubs hidden somewhere just waiting for the right time to return.

Moose Mess has created something in the GOP party. She is the example of the stereotypical GOP. However, that's a scary thing. That base is, what I believe, the broken part of our country. That base represents the fear of change, ignorance, and foolishness. While the GOP are happy to have an energized base, they fear the curse that Bush brought on them may continue.

So I wonder, will the GOP figure out their group in time? Will they embrace the Palin variant of the Repubs or will they wipe her out like a stain after the election is over?

Do we have a gay action plan?

Do we have a gay action plan? Election year is coming up and we are growing more and more; have we thought about our needs, well, our real needs?

Recently, everyone is talking about the support we will have with new leadership and how more marriage opportunities are on the way. And while all of that is good, is that enough? Are there more items we should put on the list? I think there is.

For me, I need to know if there will be stronger outreach to LGBT people of color. I would like stronger media about our accomplishments and triumphs. I need to know who our leaders are and their next steps in the upcoming year. What are the goals of the gay media? What is the power and purpose of the gay mafia? Do we have a five year plan to shape up our rights. Are we opening more businesses than bath houses and bars? And are we ready to really more forward?

I hope so.
