If Music Could Talk

Last spring, as the presidential campaign was in full roar, Jonathan decided the term conservatism was so misused that he needed to write a book explaining it. He received a computer from his maternal grandfather for his 13th birthday. “In the Jewish culture in which my mom was raised, 13 is a big deal,” he said. “But since I’m a Jewish Christian, I don’t do a bar mitzvah.” (Decades ago, his mother became a Baptist.)

Jonathan apologetically described the book as a “first effort.” The second edition, he said, will have less about Thomas Jefferson and more about Alexander Hamilton and James Monroe.

Yeah, I'd expect so, since the modern Republican Party is Hamiltonian as fuck.

Closet? If so, then the closet door was wide open.

I prefer the term "Sam the Media Whore." It's slightly more accurate.

I was hoping the best thing about the election being over is never having to hear about that fuck again.

Well, second best - first would be Palin. Who seems to have gone away now. Though I enjoyed her porno.
