Opinion/Global Warning
Wide Eyed In Babylon
Lisa Jain Thompson
Tuesday, 31 January 2012
Washington, DC, USA. From the viewpoint of evolutionary biology, if such a thing can be said to have a viewpoint, the female body is designed to attract and retain, if possible, the male. Similarly, the male body has evolved to be sexually attractive to the female.

That is the way of the world. The way of primates and most all of the creatures on this planet, God or no. The human way.


The Good Grooming Reality Show

Sunday, 15 January 2012
Washington, DC, USA. Strip the Human Race absolutely naked and what is left? It is the eye of other people that ruin us. [N1]

Although we enter the world most certainly without clothes, each and most every one of us lives in society that require us to be dressed. The clothes often wear us, rather than we, them.

Unfinished Sonata From Columnist To Reader
Lisa Jain Thompson
Wednesday, 11 January 2012
Washington, DC, USA. When in the course of human events … Sorry, that’s been used hasn’t it? What about We, The People — nope, even I have used that crutch far too many times.

The first thing you need when writing a column is a writer. All present and accounted for and seated at my laptop listening to the quintessential American composer Charles Ives.

Stealing From The Rich
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 01 January 2012
Washington, DC, USA. If you took all the money and assets from the top 1%, if you took the 1% life’s savings and everything they own, you still would not have near enough money to do everything the 99% want done without cost to them and theirs.

Taxing the rich or confiscating their assets isn’t going to work.

The Season Upon Us
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 25 December 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA. There are many wonderful musicks written for the winter holidays. There are a lot of sappy, sentimental words said and written in the media. Perhaps we should discard outright all of it outright. The masses, the 99%, have no taste, after all. Not like us highly educated types.

Down with Christmas! Down with Hanukkah! Down with the Winter Holidays! We should be working on our manifestos and manuscripts. Something intellectually useful.

Message From Schrödinger's Cat
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 18 December 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA.I am by nature a political moderate; in olden times, before the extremes emerged to compete for a chokehold on America, I could be called a liberal Republican. At times I want to throw rocks at The Man; other times I would tell demonstrators they need a permit to demonstrate.

There aren’t a lot of liberal Republicans around, it seems. We appear to be a dying breed. And no one in either party seems willing to call themselves a (gack) moderate.

The Most Critical Election Until The Next One
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 20 November 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA. The American Presidential Election is twelve months off, four years after the last one, four years before the next one. At this point in time, as an independent moderate, I have no idea for which candidate I might vote.

But I will vote. I will make a choice, however distasteful, between two or three grievously flawed choices. I always do. I always will.

Spa Jamma Crossdressah Slamma
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 13 November 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA. Every three or four weeks I visit a salon at Harpers Ferry in Jefferson County, West Virginia, to have the fills refreshed on my nails. It’s a nice drive on an otherwise unencumbered weekend. [N1]

Sometimes, when there is an earthquake and then a hurricane perhaps, five weeks may pass between visits. The seasonal floods that Harpers Ferry is prone to might postpone my nails for six.

Part of My Human Family
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 30 October 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA. All human families are dysfunctional. Get over it. Your own personal narrative is nothing special.

No matter what a family may look like on the outside to the casual observer, inside it is most likely a mess. Kick the can the family lives in, god only knows what rough beast might wake.

New Millennium Poster Girl
Lisa Jain Thompson
Sunday, 16 October 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA.I am not the poster girl for polio victims who somehow survived the scourge to limp through the rest of their lives. I am not the surviving post-op poster woman born transsexual raging against life’s unfairness.

It is true that I had polio at two or three that almost killed me before I really started and left me variously limping with a slightly atrophied left side and a slowness of left leg muscle that prevented me from being a world class athlete.

For Us The Living
Lisa Jain Thompson
Wednesday, 12 October 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA.I have an innate advantage as a columnist: what I write is seldom not published in some form by this website. True, my editor may reconstruct one of my columns to other purposes, but I seldom discard in its entirety what I write.

I may repurpose them myself, however, if I don’t like what I have written, but an author’s deconstruction and revision of her own work does not feel any bit like rejection.
