It's probably obvious I'm a CYNICAL PESSIMIST. Why a cynical pessimist? Possibly it's the result of expending a full lifetime defending, first with rifle in hand and then with a legal pad, "truth, justice and the American Way." Observing the less than perfect result and the fact that it must be unending tends to incubate pessimistic cynicism.

There is actually a better answer though. As a pessimistic cynic, I know I'll always be either right or delighted.

I'm probably also affected by the fact I live at the very edge of the earth, about as far as someone can get from our nation's centers of power and still have dry feet. (Minor quibble to establish my unfailing honesty: I don't actually live at the edge. Nevertheless, I really can at least see the edge from here.)

The commentaries submitted to this website are some of the views from that edge, for the most part political and social observations and questions tinged (or perhaps more accurately, tainted) with humor to make the point.

The name "lawless one"? It was my call sign in Nam and ironic in other ways.

"THE APPARENTLY PRANKSTER FOUNDING FATHERS" Democrats had a perfect opportunity to reverse some of the Bush attacks on the Constitution and they blew it. Democrats had a veto proof, court proof, way to halt or at least make illegal the warrant less searches of Americans. All they had to do was do nothing and simply let the existing "law" authored by Republicans allowing such searches expire. The Senate Jackasses kicked us again and their House mates may do so too.

"EXECUTIVE DISORDER" Bush proposed new Executive Order allowing seizure of assets without court order or trial from anyone who is suspected might commit undefined violent acts which might interfere with the Iraq war and occupation. Kudos to Ron Paul for exposing it. Boos to all other presidential candidates for not exposing it.

"THE GUILTY PLEASURES OF BUSH AND THE GUILTY" The contrast between how Bush treats his cronies convicted of crimes versus how he treats people who haven't even been tried, let alone convicted, is astonishing

"WHO LOST IRAQ?" Bush may have been responsible for the Iraq War and the incredible bungling that ultimately will result in us getting kicked out, but unless the Democrats and journalists kick him out of office, then they too deserve a swift kick in the pants.

"BUSHWA" Perhaps Bush is not lying (at least this one time) when he says he is not planning an invasion of Iran. Perhaps he isn't lying about that because he has something worse in mind - concocting a plausible grounds to justify or excuse using nuclear weapons against Iran.
