Faith is loud

In: Op-ed, Religion

While on vacation one of our housemates was accosted by some one who decided to share his faith in Christianity with her. He would not stop until she had to say “Leave me the fuck alone”. This on top of the Kansas “minister” that has been protesting at funerals of homesexual Iraq War [...]

Moussaoui verdict - my thoughts

In: Op-ed, terrorism

I’ve avoided saying anything about this trial for the length and now that we have a verdict, no time better than now.
There are many people that hate the U.S. and in their own way have supported terrorism against the U.S. Zacarias Moussaoui hated us, our government, our way of life, everything American. [...]

Things change

In: Op-ed

Last night Kristen and I were at Applebees and the topic we were discussing were things that are no more; things that have changed and don’t exist the way they were before. This started when I noticed the West Coast Video where I waited in the freezing cold for Sting tickets didn’t exist anymore [...]

Spaz off

In: Op-ed

I am so tired of political correctness - today Tiger Woods had to apologize for using the term spaz because in certain countries that term is derogatory. So apparently Woods is to keep track of every word that may have a different meaning than here in the U.S. and eliminate it from his vocabulary?
Seriously [...]

To date 105 people have died worldwide of the Avian Flu - over 29 million have died just in Sub-Saharan Africa of AIDS.

What Constitution?

In: Op-ed

Yesterday I was watching some local news - you know for entertainment. The story was about some New Jersey town enacting a law to limit where registered sex offenders can live (registered makes it sound so legal). It appears that every town in New Jersey is enacting this type of law - it’s [...]

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.
