Listening to WAMU : The Diane Rehm Show this morning, Kevin Phillips, the fellow who wrote American Dynasty the recent book about the Bushs, reminded me of how Daddy Bush stole the election from Carter by negotiating the October surprise with the Iranians, getting them to not release US hostages until he and Reagan were […]
Let me explain some of the reasons I am opposed to the Bush administration and the Iraq war. For one thing, during high school I had congressional appointments to the Air Force and Coast Guard academies and an NROTC scholarship. The Air Force turned me down because I couldn’t broad jump far enough and the […]
I can’t believe how busy I’ve been lately. I haven’t blogged for three days. As an independent, solo entrepreneur/minister, I have many roles to fulfill and anything that has to be done, I’m usually the one to do it. While I love to write, it seems many other things are demanding my time right now […]

Dylan’s creation is a worthy trip. I have been eagerly awaiting this film since reading about it […]
You know, I’m just so disgusted it’s incredible. I must admit, I’m a news junkie, and I listen to a lot of NPR, watch the “Newshour” and also some network news. I also find much in the way of news that I don’t get anywhere else on another blog Suburban Guerrilla. Yet I can hardly […]
In addition to the book I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I have been working on another book for many years. It is autobiographical and deals with my spiritual journey from beatnik to hippie to Hindu to New Age to Christian to post-Christian. It spans the world and is the archetypical boomer quest. I have over […]
