pathway: went to Winston’s site and read a post of his that talked about Ambivablog
Okay, now that we all know how I got there, go there yourself.
But the reason I mention it is one post in particular.
Being (Far) Right Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry
As I read the post, I kept nodding and saying ‘amen sister’. I like this woman, I really do.
Have you ever wondered why, in conservative eyes, Rush Limbaugh is not a junkie, and Bill Bennett doesn’t have a gambling problem, and Newt Gingrich’s marital betrayals bore not even the faintest resemblance to Bill Clinton’s?
It is true you know. I think the biggest difference between the alleged right and left is one is ‘save-able’ and one is not. I am going to hell for being a homosexual (condemned by the 7 verses in the entire Bible that mentions it) but Newt’s not going to hell for his adultery (there are many many many verses in the Bible that condemns it).
There are other correlations as well, such as Clinton was attacked for never joining the military yet GW Shrub’s military record is “misplaced”.
I could go on and on but let’s not. Don’t want to get my blood pressure up, ya know?
Another reason that I like this chickadee is that she knows about and praises Feldenkrais, a method of physical therapy currently being attempted on me.
Yet another reason I like her is that she is a writer too.
