Build them up to tear them down

In: Op-ed

I really didn’t want to write anything about the latest Hollywood scandal, but I’m annoyed.
Another day, another starlet being torn down by the press and the public. I have come to the realization that this is what we enjoy the most. You might think that we like stars and celebrity - the excesses […]

Shut the F$@! up!

In: Music, Op-ed

I begrudge no one their god given right to throw good money away. Lord knows I’ve been known to waste a dollar or two. That said…
When you’re at a concert, shut the fuck up. I can’t tell you how tired I am of people who can’t keep their mouth shut long enough […]

I got my ass up early today to get tickets for Radiohead. I generally have good ticket buying karma - I like to think it’s because I don’t steal music. Anyway - I kept track of the atomic clock, and promptly refreshed my browser at the right second - it actually took a […]

The whole Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy has been a tough one to watch, and it’s taken me a long time to respond because what he has said, at least what I’ve heard of it, didn’t offend me greatly. I disagree with a lot of it - but I’m not about to go protest. It’s […]

Many years ago I walked into a bar to buy beer for a gathering; I needed four six-packs and it was the best place to go. Well I asked the bartender for my beers she said she could only sell me two six-packs, but that if I took those two to my car, I could […]

I’ve made it pretty clear that I support Barack Obama for President. His personality and skill as a communicator have made it easy to do so. But after listening to his speech after winning the South Carolina primary, I have realized why I will support Obama for as long as I can - […]

About this blog

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.
