Dinesh D’Souza — identify a dogmatic right-wing apologist for traditional family values and you will identify a sleazeball adulterer. It never fails.
But let’s give the guy a break — he probably got the first expert blow-job of his life from his current squeeze. Some things transcend ideology.

William Butler Yeats’s take on the Eternal Feminine:
Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
For those red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.
We and the labouring world are passing by:
Amid men’s souls, that waver and give place
Like the pale waters in their wintry race,
Under the passing stars, foam of the sky,
Lives on this lonely face.
Bow down, archangels, in your dim abode:
Before you were, or any hearts to beat,
Weary and kind one lingered by His seat;
He made the world to be a grassy road
Before her wandering feet.

Identify a homophobic organization — like The Boy Scouts or The Catholic Church — and you will automatically identify an organization that tolerates, perpetuates and covers up the homosexual abuse of children.
It’s an infallible test.
I understand the concept of voting for the lesser of two evils, but what is the end game for this approach if the lesser evil is consistently worse than the lesser evil that came before? Is it possible to draw the line anywhere?
If you can’t draw the line at Obama — at the abolition of habeas corpus and due process, at extra-judicial murder by Presidential fiat, at impunity for Wall Street criminals — can you draw it anywhere?
And if the plutocracy can go on counting on your vote for evil as long as it puts up a greater evil in opposition, who wins in the long term?
Things will change only when people draw a line beyond which their conscience won’t let them proceed. Where is your line? Do you even have one?
