Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

Aaaaaaaaaargh! That’s the sound I made as my head exploded from the mere sight of the words “Bush’s Third Term.”
At this point, I don’t care who the Democratic nominee is — just want there to be ONE so we can get on with this whole working-towards-a-Republican-defeat thing.
But sadly, I have to say that I am pretty nervous. I mean, four years ago I never ever in my most bone-chilling nightmares thought that G.W. would be elected to a second term.
This verse of Elvis Costello’s “Beyond Belief” just came to mind:
History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
