Well, maybe he wasn't QUITE as cool as Roy Orbison, but he had something of that same vibe, and I liked a bunch of his songs when I was a kid, and when a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame checks out, it deserves at least a little diary at dKos. RIP Gene Pitney, who was found dead on his hotel room bed, age 65, while touring in Cardiff, Wales. Read More

Well, Charlie Sheen says that he doubts the Official Story of 9-11, and while a few Kossers have approved of his statements, others have sneered, saying "Yo, old Charlie's just a drunk and a pill freak, who cares what he says?"

Of course, George W. Bush is also a drunk and a druggie, but most of y'all seem prepared to accept what HE says about 9-11: that nineteen mostly 20-something Arab guys with boxcutters hijacked four passenger jetliners, and flew three of them into landmark buildings. Heh. No "conspiracy theory" there, right?

Anyway, without further ado I am onna flip reproducing a statement made at a press conference in Alexandria, VA on 3/13/2006 by George Nelson, Colonel, U.S. Air Force (retired).

So far as I'm aware Col. Nelson is neither a drunk, nor a drug addict. Read More

As some here know and as my moniker indeed suggests, I -- a sober, middle-aged lawyer, family guy, and native New Yorker -- am one of those troubling persons who feels convinced that the Official Story of the 9-11 attacks is a huge lie; that the attacks were permitted to happen by BushCo or, even more likely, actively sponsored, planned and abetted by them, and that, accordingly, we are in much deeper doo-doo than we had imagined.

Now, ye scoffers, it seems that even FOX is taking up the tinfoil. More onna flip. Read More

Although non-Jewish, I grew up in a largely Jewish community in NJ. I am old enough to have seen quite a few of my friends' parents, grandparents or other relations with camp tatoos, and many more lost near relations to Hitler.

I have always wanted the Jews to be OK. Safe, protected, unharmed.

But as the Israel-Arab conflict wears on and on, I have become progressively more disillusioned about Zionism. The underlying philosophy of the thing seems offensive. Consider the quotes below. Read More

As a proud wearer of the tinfoil hat, I frequent web sites that most Kossacks wouldn't be caught dead on. However, with the exception of a number of mostly Republican politicians, I firmly believe that the fact that a man/woman may not be fully reliable is not proof that they are always wrong. Read More

I live in Westchester County, New York. I grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey, which at the time had (and still has, although there has been a large increase in the population of African-Americans) a sizeable Jewish population.

I am a nonfundamentalist Christian of ecumenical bent. My friends, my social circle throughout my life has been pretty mixed. Mostly white, yes, but heavily Jewish (as perhaps 40% of my schoolmates were Jews) and Italian. I'm a half-southern white boy. My wife's a bad-tempered Italian girl. (Well, the phrase is mildly redundant). One of my kid's Vietnamese. Read More

I was not quite thirteen when the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, D.C.

It was a hot day where my family lived, in New Jersey, and the summer was winding down. This moment preceded the assassination of John F. Kennedy by less than three months. My childhood, such as it was (my mother suffered from muscular dystrophy, so it wasn't exactly normal) was nearing its end. Read More

Nothing delights a Kossack more than another story about our favorite "Conservative Guy," faux journalist, faux ex-Marine but genuine male prostitute and professional liar and poseur James Dale Guckert. Nothing more, that is, excepting perhaps a story which, if confirmed, may blow the doors off of the White House, and reveal the most damaging implications of giving prostitutes and self-aggrandizing nutjobs 24/7 access to the White House. Gotcha interested? Read on, Macduff! Read More

Well, some weeks back I drew some hot, hot flames for a diary arguing that, given a 50% divorce rate and what happens to fathers and children in the no-fault divorce, maybe U.S. women are, statistically speaking, a lousy bet as wives.

Half-seriously, I suggested that American men consider marrying foreign women instead.

The other day, I read a reference to a remark attributed to Germaine Greer that I found somewhat disheartening. So, being a glutton for punishment, I'm again going to disagree with a feminist. Yow! Where's my asbestos overcoat at? Read More

Within the past few days, on posts relating to the surrender of Lee's army in 1865, a number of Kossacks referred to secession as "treason," and to Confederates as "traitors." When, some months ago, I posted arguing to the contrary, I received numerous highly personal and nasty flames, with even the All-Knowing Armando labeling me a "fool."

Nothing but persistent, in response to the recent calumnies, I again posted a diary. Following a brief, snarky preface, I presented, otherwise without comment, some eminent persons' defenses of state sovereignty, generally, and the right of secession, specifically.
