Before even mentioning Larry Craig, a quick note on my absence. I really have been extremely busy the past few months. As the weeks moved on and I didn't blog - hell I haven't even been reading other blogs - I found myself not really missing it. Maybe I'm just a little burned out. Maybe I'm just so sick of blogging about Crapmaster Bush and his house of sycophants. Whatever it was, I jsut didn't have an urge to blog.
I'm really not feeling it now. But hat's off to Larry Craig for motivating me to come up with this witty title. (Reader beware: If you don't know what a blumkin is, you may not want to find out what it really means; its not for the faint of heart.)
Sadly, Blumkin-gate has once again served to take the important issues of the day off the top of the news. Iraq? Insurance for kids? Screw it! Give me Senators soliciting blumkins in public restrooms.

Matt Sanchez writes back
I'm reading Matt Sanchez's article in Salon. Its very interesting. He writes:
I'm actually pretty impressed with his POV. He puts a real human face on this. He's obviously a pretty smart guy. Oh sure, his story is good for a lot of giggles, especially the Ann Coulter-faggot connection.
Matt claims that many conservatives have been supportive. I'm really glad to hear this. I have no personal interest in mindlessly hating the reeps and everything they stand for. If they can accept a gay ex-serviceman (who, by all accounts, served this country honorably), then this country is again all the richer.
Matt does complain about being attacked by the liberal blogosphere. I've read some of it - there's as much giggling as there is outright criticism. But IMO, a fair bit of the criticism is deserved - particularly from the gay community.
OTOH, Mr. Sanchez provides an opportunity to present a gay hero's face to the reep crowd. If this is how the walls of discrimination crumble, then boo-yah!
I learned that I'm not as right-wing among the true believers as I feel in a place like New York, where people glibly promote diversity unless you don't agree with them.
