Perhaps, perhaps, I am a bad Democrat because I am today thoroughly pleased with our President. And maybe I'm a bad Unitarian (we tend to be peaceful) because I am, perhaps less thoroughly but nonetheless, pleased with the recent incident in Detroit. You see, the President had not all that much choice, and more than a little responsiblity to future presidents, but to step in and demand that another country's security forces not prevent his security forces from providing for his security. (Note to the Chilean press: you can, um, how can I say this delicately, shove your "he looked like a cowboy!"; it's not an across-the-board pejorative, and besides, only we're allowed to call him that.) And case of the fight during the Detroit Piston's game, I mean, I can't formally condone an NBA player going into the stands to punch a jackass of a man in the head, but you know what I can condone even less? A jackass of a man thinking that he lives in a world where it's somehow okay to unprovokedly pour a $6 Miller Lite on someone else's head.
