The Worst Position Your Family Could Be In

When the bedroom door breaks. It happened to us, the door went out of line and hit the molding instead of the catch on the other side. The real problem is convincing someone to come out for a "small job". Of course you know that as a running theme, skilled labor will do nothing for $50.00. As a group, workers want 3 doors, 10 windows or clean all the carpet or forget about it. We all commiserate with these guys, we would not want to bring home a minuscule pay check either.When I was a kid they used to say no job too small. Not in the 21 century. You can get any quantity at the blue chip home improvement stores but you will pay and you will wait. What happened to the little old white haired cobbler down the block who got the job done quickly and reasonably. The other thing is that certainly if you are married  or have a significant other, this is the worst door in your house to go.It took me two days, although I mangled the door a little, installed new hinges and a new catch lock, I can close the door as long as I push it closed on the bottom with my foot. My wife says  the sound when I close it scares the dog.

Please do not use gays as political pawns

This story about Mitt Romney antagonizing a gay kid in a schoolyard 50 years ago is not only a stereotype of gays as weak effeminate victims of bullies but is also way down on our list of priorities when you consider that there are no decent jobs and people losing their homes. When I walk around the Village in New York, I see many powerful , strong gays that could probably take a pro boxer. It is simply a myth that all gays are weak and subject to ridicule. I will  tell you what this is about.  First of all the language of this political story uses the word presumed to describe the alleged gay victim. Presumed is not a good word to use when you want to be sure about something. I think the Democratic Party, offering this kind of information is leading with the chin. I believe they are frightened of losing in November to Romney, the man they are nickle and dimming because they only have school yard 50 year old memories to work with.

Do as I say not as do

After today's stunning events where Obama made what amounted to a total reversal on gay rights after years of standing solid, as a Republican I would rightfully request that our opposition now refrain from beating the drums on Romney for changing positions. I personally will examine any such bills in New York and after reading such bill, cast my vote for or against such proposed  legislation.
I am in no way opposed to equal rights, as a Freelance Internet Writer my goal is to look at politics and candidates in a clinical respect. In this case the two candidates are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Who has a better chance of losing ground with this new set of particulars. In my view it would be Obama, not presented in a partisan lock. Judging sentiment on gay marriage is difficult. Most pundits feel the nation is split 50-50 on this subject. Remember that many states have rejected it and inherently, gay marriage over the years has been controversial. So, Obama builds the left but also alienates those that don't like politicians changing their minds for political reasons. Finally, the Democrats have lost forever what was an effective tool against Romney, changing positions.
