The whole question of race is a dicey one. Pity the poor fool who wades into those troubled waters. Well, here goes.

Although there is no way to really explain how the creative process works, typically a notion buzzes around in a writer’s head until the opportunity to use it comes along. But that was certainly not the case with “Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?” When every ACLU lawyer who appears on TV to announce the latest attempt to remove Christian symbols and traditions from America seems to be Jewish, and when it’s a rabbi in Seattle who threatens a lawsuit if a menorah doesn’t take its place among the airport’s Christmas trees, it’s all too easy for Christians to [...] The dirty little secret in America is that anti-Semetism is no longer a significant problem in society; it’s been replaced by a rampant anti-Christianity. O.J. Simpson, Mel Gibson, and Michael Richards have all amazed us this year. I have finally came to the conclusion that there might very well be insanity in my family. I’m afraid that the astonishing box office success of Borat heralds the end of western civilization as we have known it. Burt Prelutsky on lethal injection, John McCain and "gay marriage." If you crave perfection, I’m afraid you have to wait for Heaven. Here on earth, the best you can hope for are Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. Anything that puts Democrats even an inch closer to appointing federal judges should be more than enough reason to get every right-winger off the couch and down to his polling place. I no longer accept that we are only at war with Islamic fascists. One of the sillier notions that feminists have tried to foist off on the rest of us is that there are no major differences between boys and girls or men and women. Burt Prelutsky on the three branches of government plus the "fourth estate." The main reason I place no stock in conspiracy theories is because I happen to believe that if two people know a secret, one of them will tell someone else within 17 seconds. Many liberals, I assure you, are as good-natured, fun-loving, and loyal, as my little four-legged pal, Duke. And yet each has its drawback. I can forgive Mel Gibson for his tacky behavior, and even the hateful things he said. What I can’t ever find it in my heart to forgive him for is Mrs. Soffel and Lethal Weapon 4. Why should it be so unreasonable that once in a while, like when He gets really lonely, he rings up Reverend Robertson for a chat? When people tell me they don’t vote for the party, they vote for the man, I experience the same queasy sensation as when I used to suffer from acid-reflux. The Jersey Girls rely on their status as victims to ward off legitimate criticism. This is the land of opportunity, and people don’t want to remain very long at the bottom of the food chain. So far as I’m concerned, the one thing big pharmaceuticals have coming is a big cheer. How is it that so many politicians place so little value on their own reputation? Only judges and lawmakers seem happy to ignore the rates of recidivism among rapists and pedophiles. Burt Prelutsky on Cynthia McKinney, handicapped parking spaces, and the missing link between fish and humans. By keeping her in Washington, Georgians have managed to foist her off on the rest of us and kept her away from Peach Street. |
