I will withhold comment on John McCain making a jackass of himself at the Senate hearings this past week. Well, not quite. The only consolation as we watch Obama make a shambles of American politics is the recollection that the alternative was McCain. Truly scary! But what I really wanted to note is that it turns out, according to the recent survey conducted by the military themselves, that those military personnel who are most afraid of gays are the big, brave Marines. Go figure.
