[The following post is an interpolation into the process of posting the essays in my proposed collection, Drifting Ever Near the Rocks, and is intended to address a matter of current ass-hattery being bandied about in the New Media. The following post is not part of the Drifting collection. - Ed.]
From the breathless folks at the Huffington Post comes late word that Rep. Allen West, LTC, USAR, Ret. (R-FL22) wanted to have sex with his wife after he got back from deployment to the sandbox.
Well, Duh! The idea that a deployed soldier would want to have sex with his wife upon his return home is hardly news. The fact that West, who is notorious for having a ramrod up his ass, would be quite so pathetically controlling in specifying how he wanted the sexual scenario to go down (so to speak), is, if anything, even less newsworthy. Granted, it may point up a question as to how much of his waking time and intellectual effort West devoted to running his command while he was deployed. What it does not do, is shock the conscience.
On this one, Well, Duh! has to call "foul" on HuffPo. Sorry, folks, the idea of a soldier wanting to have sex with anybody's wife, to say nothing of his own, after deployment, just does not register on the Scandalmeter.
Well, Duh!

All readers are welcome to offer insightful, thoughtful comments on posts, other readers's comments, etc. This is manifestly not a post-modern blog; formal logic is the intellectual framework that we use for commentary. Sorry, if you can't handle structured/structural thought, you shouldn't be reading this blog. Ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Neither will spam ads. If you can't resist the urge to post a spam ad about how hot you and your naughty sorority sisters are (or how eager you are to meet "generous older gentlemen"), or what a great site you found for knockoff electronics on cheap, or much money I can save buying v1agra or C !al1s at a steep discount (a particularly offensive line of advertising), then please just go away.
