Well, he did give one to Harvey Milk too for all the good work he did in SF. Perhaps he should have given one to the inventor of Twinkies too or to Dan White.

As always, you’re likely correct in your assessment..which in it’s own way is a sad commentary about what this place has become..

Actually, the medal count breaks down like this

White man 4
White woman 4
Black man 3
Hispanic man 2
Asian man 1
Jewish man 1
Black woman 1

It is almost like they took California’s demographics and used them for a quota system.

Sally Ride was a lesbian who publicly endorsed obama in ‘08. Only surprise is she didn’t get this award while alive. Maybe obama was playing it safe because she was white and you never can trust them, even the space crackas.

Excuse me while I retch....

I'm saving that for when GW Bush wins his own well-deserved "Presidential Medal of Freedom"....

I mean he did allow the border-crossing of 50 million Illegal Invaders, plus hundreds of thousands of Muslims into the country, AND pushed for Amnesty -- ALL during waging a so-called "War in Terror" as granny's pants were checked for bombs at airports.

We were already doing 100 MPH on the authobahn with Bush; 0bama's dropped that Maserati's stick into 6th gear.

” We were already doing 100 MPH on the authobahn with Bush”

Now the entire Bush family tree are regulars in the Obama WH, and Obama is all smiles when he greets each of them.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

You get the Perfect Post of the Day Award.

I believe Yeats’ poem is what it looks like when a civilization begins to collapse. The evil of the age is different but always inspired by the same father. Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.

And to go along with the coronation of Shillary Clinton as the next heir apparent to the highest office in the land, look for Barry Sinclair to award her with Presidential Medal of Freedom a week before the 2016 election.

Just love the mutual admiration society that liberals have created for themselves.

Yeats is one of my favorite poets.

I always liked that Yeats poem, but never quite "got" what it meant. Thanks for the interpretation. Makes sense.

He also stained a dress, thereby sparing the world from the progeny of his and Monica Lewinsky’s (yuk) carnal union. That’s contributing to mankind, I guess.
