(Community Matters) Reading Towleroad story about Pres. of Duke College Republicans being forced out after students discover he’s gay – he was impeached last week.

Reminds me of a friend and I helping out college Republicans in the early 90s – we counted something like 16 of 20 state presidents gay, then closeted of course.

(Community Matters) Today’s Headliner’s luncheon featuring Karl Rove as the speaker was a runaway sellout.  No, I didn’t purchase his book, but I did enjoy listening to his comments and thought Evan Smith did a good job serving as the interviewer.  Of course, always a treat to sit with B. Rapoport, Ambassador Lyndon Olson, Tom Ausley, Kirk Rudy, Adam Goldman and Melissa & Frank Jackson.

Karl Rove was engaging, charming & entertaining – even if he confuses fact with fiction.

(Community Matters) Huff Post: Israel’s Netanyahu Urges ‘Crippling Sanctions’ For Iran. Interesting – Netanyahu ought to be bending over backwards allying with our government rather than humiliating our VP and obstructing the middle east peace process.

p.s. A wise man subsequently suggested caution in my words, especially with such a high-passion topic. I definitely mean to frame this within the context of our country’s uncompromised special relationship with the country and people of Israel, within the administration’s intention to become a more fair mediator to both sides, and within Netanyahu’s insidious personal remarks against our presidential administration (including calling Axelrod & Rahm self-hating Jews)
