It’s a good week for…

In: Philadelphia, Politics, bigotry

Bigots. Everyone is using gays as a convenient scapegoat. Ann Coulter is on the rampage (she’s a bigot against liberals. How fun would it be to lock her and Michael Moore in a room - he’d eat her).
And this morning I read a great story about how Philly Cheesesteak institution Geno’s [...]

Ann Coulter coming out of her shell

In: Politics

Ann Coulter in her book says that the widows of those that died in the 9/11 attacks are “reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.”
Well it’s about time someone called out the truth. And I’m glad that Ann Coulter finally stood up to these so-called victims.
In the spirit of her statements, [...]

What happens when politics get in the way

In: Politics

I’ve been meaning to post about the bill that was defeated today trying to pass a constitutional amendment on marriage. I don’t even want to talk about the validity of this, although I wonder all the time why conservatives are so worried about what other people do in their bedrooms? I mean isn’t [...]

Writer’s block

In: Music, Politics, george bush, immigration

It’s been awhile since I’ve written (honestly I wrote a long post about the double standard where women say things that if a man were to say would cause such a stir, but accidentally deleted it - it sucked any way). I honestly can’t think of a thing to write about. 24 is [...]

Assholes in charge

In: Politics, immigration

Wondering what the Republican Party is - listen to Congressman Tom Tancredo, son of an Italian immigrant, who recently said illegal aliens are “A Scourge That Threatens The Very Future of Our Nation”. Now I have a list of things that threaten the future of our country and illegal aliens didn’t make it. [...]

So Lynn Swann won the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania Governor this weekend (surprise, surprise). I, like many men my age, idolized Swann as a child watching the acrobatic catches he so routinely made. Being that Swann has no political experience or background, Swann’s selection by the Republican party as the person to go [...]

No confidence

In: Politics

You’ve got to love a country where the leaders can be voted out by a no confidence vote. How can we get a parlimentary style government here in the U.S. My Canadien friends: I envy you.

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.
