Senator George Allen has a career that seems destined in ending with the title President being added to his name.  He’s been a governor, a senator, played football, and was son a legendary football coach.  The fact that he appears to be a racist will probably only add to his stature, much less hurt him.  [...]

Agreeing with Jerry Falwell (Really)

In: Politics

In an interview Sunday Jerry Falwell said that if Hillary Rodham-Clinton is the 2008 Democratic nominee, conservatives would be motivated to oppose her more so than they would the devil. I hate to agree with him, but this is what has scared me about her as a nominee. The worse thing is that [...]

What George Bush has given us

In: Politics, george bush

I figured this might be a fun excercise and a way to get people to comment. So here’s the question, in your own words tell me what George Bush and his administration has given this country. It can be positive, negative, funny - whatever you want.
Be creative. Think outside that proverbial box.

Katherine Harris Crazy

In: Politics, bigotry

Took a little blogiday but now I’m back and thanks to Katherine Harris for giving me such blog worthy material.

Don’t you wonder if the other leaders are sitting there laughing their asses off?

White non-Hispanics, who make up about two-thirds of the population, accounted for less than one-fifth of the increase.
So I read this in [...]

My fellow Americans

In: Philadelphia, Politics, bigotry

What I’m about to say would get Ann Coulter’s panties in a bunch, but here we go: there are times when the actions of my fellow American embarrass me and the Geno’s Steaks controversy is another example of that.
I just saw a news report that if accurate seems to indicate that most people are [...]

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.
