Ground Coffee: March 2009

First, Ellen Tauscher can no longer head the Congressional repeal effort, mainly because the new Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security will very soon no longer be in Congress. MREA will be lacking leadership, at least for a few seconds. Congressional momentum is effectively stalled. Second, SecDef Gates has confirmed the Obama administration intent of keeping DADT on the back-burner. Executive momentum: also stalled. Not That I Needed to Prove My Point Further. It’s Ma...

Ground Coffee: November 2008
http://jarrodsgroundcoffee.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
I love writing catchy titles, which for me entails an enticing statement that is bold in its sentiment and unwavering in its intent. Unfortunately, my academia training is ruining the fun, in that I feel this constant overwhelming need to cushion my statements with caveats saying basically there is no way to prove 100% that what I say is true. And so it goes. So I removed my last post that was basically a call for a more honest campaign, admittedly biased towards Obama. A) These ideas for the most part d...

Ground Coffee: July 2008

Real quick blog (and yes, a new substantive blog is coming, etc, etc):. A ton of you guys have been asking lately about the documentary that's making the rounds, and in at least a few cases, the emails have come days after the film already screened in their respective areas. To help alleviate this problem, a very brief FAQ follows:. Q: What role do you have in the documentary? Q: Can I get a copy? Q: When will there be a screening near me? Q: Will you be at the next screening? A: Possibly. Email me.

Ground Coffee: June 2008

After three years, it is likely safe to admit that starting the Call To Duty. CTD) project was a very innocent and naive endeavor. Even rushed preparation becomes comforting in its own pattern, and the cusp between preparation and action bears a tremendous amount of uncomfortable anticipation. The cusp for the CTD project occurred at Harvard. How did we prepare the speakers for this challenge? My role, then, was not to relay my story, though the speech revolved around my experiences. Instead, it was ...

Showers and Foxholes: I Beg Your Pardon, Mr. Marzullo
http://showersandfoxholes.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-beg-your-pardon-mr-marzullo.html
Thursday, December 6, 2007. I Beg Your Pardon, Mr. Marzullo. 8220;…I couldn't help but shake my head in utter bewilderment at this entire memorial. Twelve thousand people had dedicated a good portion of their lives to a homophobic institution that not only asked them to risk life and limb, but also asked them to perpetuate cycles of violence in an already violent world.”. What if every one of these unfairly discharged queer persons was planting gardens, feeding the homeless and saving vanishing habitats?

Showers and Foxholes: A Candid Bill Clinton on DADT
http://showersandfoxholes.blogspot.com/2008/03/candid-bill-clinton-on-dadt.html
Thursday, March 27, 2008. A Candid Bill Clinton on DADT. His ability to justify behaviour is legendary, specially since I remember that he told john Kerry to run on an anti gay marriage platform to reduce support for George bush. I hate his finger wagging. April 9, 2008 at 8:12 PM. Veto-proof majority for a ban on open service? Interesting memory, but take a look at the roll call for the House of Representatives's vote on a Duncan Hunter amendment to do exactly that:. Not even a *simple majority.*.
