The Huck's Little Sermon about Natalie and Hussein

Now Mike Huckabee is giving Natalie Portman hell for having a baby while she is not married, just like 41% of other Americans.

Well, somebody has to stand for what is good, and right, and decent, and if that cannot be Mike Huckabee, it might have to be Newt Gingrich, or John Edwards, or maybe Charlie Sheen, and we wouldn't want that, would we?  The Huck is a Baptist minister, and a politician, too.  Once he was Governor of Arkansas, and he wants to be President, too.  But first he has to pay for his big, new house in Florida, so his day job is to work for FOX News; "fair and balanced FOX News".

Except for his house payments, The Huck's big problem is that we already have a President, and it looks like he is going to run for a second term.  The Huck could handle that, if only he knew Hussein Obama better.  He admits that about all he knows is that Hussein Obama had a Kenyan Daddy and Grand-daddy, and that little Hussein grew up in Kenya with his Daddy, where he learned all about the Mau-Mau revolution, and British colonialism and that he went to Muslim schools and never played football or belonged to the Boy Scouts.

Well, sure his Mamma was White, and his other Grand-daddy was White and fought in World War II, and the State of Hawaii says little Hussein was born in Hawaii,--Yeah, that's what they say--and little Hussein's Mamma  says Hussein's Daddy left them when the kid was about two, and she did remarry and live in Indonesia for a while before they went back to Hawaii.

But you know all about that; how Barack went to Occidental College, and on finally to Harvard law school, and that he became President of the United States, and has a great wife and two gorgeous kids, and that he plays a pretty mean game of basketball.  You know all that, but The Huck doesn't.  The Huck says Hussein Obama is . . . well, you know about all that Muslim stuff floating around, and his Kenyan Daddy, and The Huck just doesn't really know, you know?

The Huck is a fraud!  He should be ashamed and embarrassed.  He is playing the race card, and the Birther card, and the Muslim card.  He knows what he is doing!  He is a Baptist preacher!

Natalie Portman should be ashamed, too, and embarrassed.  I saw her picture, right next to The Huck's picture.  Scary!  Stuff like that could ruin her reputation.

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them. ...

That's all we want: fairness! Not more guns and more war! Fairness!

The five police officers who were killed in Dallas are certainly not the officers who killed innocent citizens. There is more than enough tragedy to go around. "What is happening to our country?", Mari asked this morning. I had no answer.  We do have an answer.  We do not want to say it. There are lots of answers, all of them pertinent. We are a racist society, like most human societies. We are a society in the midst of enormous changes-- social, political, economic--and we do not know what to do about it. We are divided unsustainably into absurdly rich, and an enormous number of crumbling middle class families, and poor. We have guns everywhere; military guns, guns just for killing people, cheap guns, heroes carrying guns into churches and supermarkets, idiots who think guns ought to be allowed in bars and schools and ball games and beauty parlors and political rallies. Our political process is almost useless. There are good people in Congress, but there...
