It was apparent that Bush couched the major crisis of his administration - global "war on terrorism" - in a highly moral sense. He initially talked about conducting a "crusade" against Osama bin Laden or al-Qaeda, but dropped that phrase under advisement about its incendiary nature.

However, Bush regularly referred to bin Laden and his cohorts as "evildoers" in a purely religious sense of the word.

Saddam Hussein, according to Bush's thinking, was also the epitome of evil who should have been ousted during his father's presidency.

When Bush Jr became president, that objective became an important aspect of religious zeal, no matter the cost. Liberation of Iraq, in the private world of George W Bush, was also a Christian thing to do.   more »

As more and more stories of furtive man-to-man lust gush forth from our highest offices in the land, it becomes clear that a vast deeply closeted gay "conservative," usually (but not always) Republican network of political and religious leaders has held our nation in its sexual self-hating sadomasochistic thrall for some time.

The twist on this Old Boys Network is that they don't actually have sex with each other (they prefer pageboys and hot Tearoom studs), but they do cooperate intimately when it comes to making "muscular" military policies that put other people’s loved ones in harm’s way while flying the flag of some macho ideal.   more »

Before his much-anticipated and highly exclusive fundraiser the other day at Oprah Winfrey's estate in Montecito, Barack Obama mingled with the masses - or, what passes for the masses in a particularly well-heeled stretch of Southern California.

There was a decidedly more populist tone to Obama's first appearance of the day than would mark the A-list event hosted by Oprah.

The crowd that began arriving about 10:30 a.m. at Santa Barbara City College for an address by the Democratic presidential hopeful about an hour later offered a cross-section of the hip beachside community.

Overwhelmingly white, it ranged from fashionably turned out surfers to high-end bohemians. It also featured kids from the local middle school who were video-taping and live-blogging the event for the school's website.   more »
