Her comment was a bomb dropped right in the middle of Edward's campaign, political correctness, and the media. Buy associating the word with Edwards she plants a seed..."is he a little effette?, would he be strong against our nation's enemies?" This leaves us looking for the stronger, more masculine candidate...of which we have none. The republicans will supply one.

The media is as easy to use as a parking meter. You say something off the script and it will dominate the news cycle. As predictable as a sunny day in Los Angeles. Good for everyone for accepting the pettiness of the news cycle when it is convenient to their cause.

Built into her statement is a critique of political correctness. Quite frankly, she is correct. What kind of speech do we want from people? Why the constant complaining that politicians don't say anything? What type of discourse do you people want? Approved for mass consumption speech? Be careful who you allow to choose what is approved. You would be defending Lenny Bruce.

I see in the conservative media a repetition of the talking point that "liberal media" have "outed" Matt and are therefore hypocrites. Outing would be exposing a secret. pornography that is public is not a secret.

Michelle Malkin liked this article so much that she has published the article in it's entirety on the front of her site, without I would add, a proper credit following the article. Was this an article paid for an under Salon's masthead and copyrighted? Or is this an op-ed piece that looks like an exclusive Salon article?

What is his status with the Marine Reserves now? Will he be asked to leave or is their policy towards gays different? Is he suggesting that he is not gay?

Corporal Matt Sanchez,

When you decide to come to the party that doesn't moralize your past, accepts you as a human being with rights, supports your racial diversity and actively concerns themselves with the real welfare of troops...the door will be open.

Most militants will lay low for the time being and gauge the enemy. Once they get a handle on how the troops will be deployed and what the weakness of the new system is, they will reveal themselves with newfound ferocity. Insurgencies are adaptive, that is their strength. Our military is using troops to hold ground and occupy, this is our weakness.

Is no different from calling him on the phone and asking him the status of a case. It is political grandstanding, and designed to pressure the justice department. Granted there is an uneasy feeling with the public that the Plame case is unfinished, but if Patrick Fitzgerald says it is closed and there need be no more indictments, then we need to take him at his word. He should not be called before congress.

It is traditional that front line combat troops only account for about 20% of actual troops with the other 80% being support. This would mean the surge would then require an actual 80,000 troops. I don't think the American public has clarity on the actual surge number.

The transformation: First you will need to hang around the crossroads and wait for the devil to show. After you trade your soul to him, your licks on the high end of the neck should improve dramatically. Whoa there fella, slow down. Your not ready yet...

The honing of skills:

a. Shave your hair off. Don't ask, it is like being reborn or something. Pretty much required.

b. Carry buckets of water in your extended arms. It will build up your finger and arm strength for guitar work.

c. Acquire a new fancy costume. This you might make yourself with scraps of felt, walnut shells, pipe cleaner and other stuff you find around the house. Preferably a one piece jumpsuit with some platform boots.

d. Get instruction from a wise but demanding sage. You'll most likely have to spend some time sitting in the rain outside his training camp (Guitar Center) to prove your worthiness. Stick it out...they always let you in eventually.

e. Practice something kinda oddball. Preferably some long lost art like playing the guitar with your teeth Hendricks style. Repeat and rinse.

The return of the King:

Your Midwestern town beckons. Wear a hoodie wherever you go and don't let anyone know who you are, or that you have returned. Sign up for the battle of the bands under an assumed name like "Phoenix" or "lil' Rocky" or "Buttertart Revenge Factory."

I don't need to tell you the rest. Let's just say I can't wait and I'm gonna be there front and center with my lighter in hand. Destiny and the arching of your character awaits!
