About Ramblings of a Hopeless Khowaga

Welcome to my Web site. My name is Chris, and I’ll be your host. I\'m an opinionated, snarky, gay academic with a predilection for the history, the Arab world, languages, photography, food, and music. I live in Austin, Texas. You can read more about me, learn 100 random things about me, and if you’re wondering what the heck a khowaga is, click here. Feel free to browse, read, and leave comments!

Here we go again …

Which one of those scientists said that for every action, there is an equal and positive reaction?

As I was trolling the New York Times Web site (it’s one of the first ones I hit in the morning), there it was in bright blue and white on my computer screen blinking back at me: G.O.P. Moves Fast to Reignite Issue of Gay Marriage.

Of course they are.

Why is the American electorate so easily distracted? Seriously. We have an economy in shambles (although gas prices have dropped recently – gee, I wonder why), we’ve got a quagmire in Iraq, and the President is using the “homos might get married and live next door” strategy to get people to vote Republican.

This president needs to be reminded that he’s the president of ALL Americans, not just the Republicans. And he needs to get his head out of his ass and start worrying about things that really matter. Because we already live next door, deary, and we’re not coming to get you and your little dog, too.  We just want you to leave us alone.

The good news is that now I don’t need that third cup of coffee…

Go, New Jersey!
