I almost forgot about that. Actually I found it amusing at the time that this Narain character was using ethnic slurs in an attempt to discredit D'Souza. I don't find Narain's complaint credible at all.

Yes, I do. Part of good daily keyboard habits including stretching fingers and wrists. Hmm. I wonder what pianists do..

No. I have been writing on the internet with my real name since 1993. I have been on radio and television talk shows and have been a featured speaker at conferences in front of rather large audiences. I have no stage fright.

I used to do at least one or two comics a day. You'll find them popping up all over the place. I'm thinking about bringing it back. Check out the archive - there are at least 300..

I think he's toast, and that's a good thing for Romney whom I liked more than McCain. At first. Santorum doesn't seem to understand the bright line between church and state. Or
of he does, his willingness to blur the lines rhetorically proves him too irresponsible to rule. I'm more likely to speak up later this spring and say what he nominee must do. BTW Rice for VP. -

I think most Americans have a narrow view of 'American values' and tend to believe that virtue comes from someplace else. Virtue comes from within. I also think that America is too dynamic for any one set of values to dominate the whole place. I learned that when I first moved to NY from Los Angeles and realized New Yorkers really don't understand LA at all. I've stayed too many places in the US - every major city - to be convinced that there's not enough room for everybody. There's just not enough room for everyone to dominate.
I could not bear the thought of moving to someplace where none of my jokes make sense, and I'm too full of American culture to start learning again. So the specific answer to your question is this. There's only one really excellent reason to leave America, and that's when you get kicked out. There's a good reason to retire somewhere else, but only if you're stinking rich and are absolutely sure you're never going to get arrested there. I'll take an American court any day - everybody hates sleazebag liberal defense attorneys until they need one.
The best American value is to find a small town of 500 and take it over. Then it's *your* American values that rule. If you can't do that in the country of your birth, then it means you're willing to take it from some other country. OK if you're James Baldwin perhaps - but he didn't have kids. -
