BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Why Obama is not first 'imposter' president and won't be the last - CNN.com

Why Obama is not first 'imposter' president and won't be the last - CNN.com: "'The charges against a president are so constant and pervasive,' he says. 'You just pound away, and the capacity for people to step back and ask if this makes sense is almost gone.'

Presenting people with facts won't quell the cries of presidential illegitimacy, research suggests."


"Obama's exotic background -- his migratory childhood, having Muslim relatives, coming seemingly out of nowhere to win the presidency -- is difficult to accept for some people who don't 'have a high tolerance for diversity,' Hanft says.

'People are hanging on to this notion that he's not one of us,' Hanft says. 'That adds another level of mystery. He is this guy from nowhere.'"
