Bush Tease
The only problem I have with this item in the Detroit News is the characterization of Bush-fils as "the leader of the free world." We're no longer quite so free thanks in part to his paranoia, and he's not really the leader of anything anymore since he's spent all of his credibility, legitimacy, and favors. Just look at the look on his face as comes perilously close to "self-immolation," and is that Cheney lurking in the background? Figures he'd come out of hiding for the first public demonstration of a fission-powered dirty car.

My name is ken adler. I live in the milky way, in a solar system, on the planet earth, on a continent named North America, in a country named the United states of America, in a state named New York. Within new york, I live in a city named named new york. In a borough called manhattan. I live on 9th aveneue at 746 in apartment 3RN. The previous paragraph informs you were I live. It also informs you where I don’t live; that there are other places I don’t exist. It is neutral that I am on earth and not on mars. Living in manhattan may be of a benefit, snobbery prevails over a Brooklynite, but living in a third story walk up in midtown west may be a detriment to a person living in the 30th floor of a doorman building in the 10021 zip code.
Being the “other” at times changes value within context.
As I was flipping through channel at my parent’s home this past weekend after a pain free visit to the dentist, my dad asked me to go to cnbc where as luck should have it, bill Bradley was talking about his new book “the new American story.” Bradley is democrat
“one of your guys”my dad said to me, but Bradley kept referring to Americans, their families and their children. Hmm, I don’t have children, but again and again, people were referred to constatntly within the context of children. He referred to a conversation you might have at your kids soccer game. Now I don’t think Mr Bradley intentionally aimed to exclude me, but he had and I was. I became a person outside of this group. As the interviewed continued, my father maintained interest but I just wanted to change the channel, no longer interested in something or rather someone who didn’t’ seem to be interested in me.
what is the closet, why does it exists and for whom does is exist. For the people in the closet then there exist an "other" who need not be in a closet. Is it important that others be closeted for their survival.
How does the inability to conform to hetersexist standards force people into a closet or rather is a person who fails to maintain the facade of hetero and masculinist dominastion in a closet unto itself?
