The Sacred Band of Thebes.
The Sacred Band of Thebes:
"Perish any man who suspects that these men did or suffered any thing unseemly."

Photograph
This is a picture I took of my friend Oscar Wilde in Merrion Square, Dublin.
It is in the corner of the Square opposite his house.
It is a beautiful sculpture, Oscar would have loved it.

Watched some great sppeches over the last few nights. I have been encouraged by the enthusiasm of the DNC crowd and the sheer determination that the USA is faced with an election in which it must choose a direction; forward or backward.
Can you imagine a Supreme Court with new conservative appointees shoring up the vapid ideology of Scalia and Alito ? And imagine their partisan "strict constructionist" delusions prevailing for a generation ? It would simply be a disaster.........they would uphold voting rights restrictions, repeal DADT, affirm DOMA, repeal Roe -v- Wade.......... My god, they have already allowed lobbyists to buy elections under Citizens United.......what else will they do to undermine the value of democracy and the the value of the single vote ?

Democratiic Convention
Watching DNC speeches last night.
Those speeches, especially Duval Patrick (? Sp.) and Gov. O'Malley of Maryland were of a quality way beyond the disguised bigotry of the Republicans last week.
The democrats must be favourites to take both houses.
On another subject, of what we are up against:
I just love this pic of the Spanish Bishops giving the Fascist salute during the Spanish Civil War.

Hi,
You have probably reached here through one of my posts on Towleroad.
The truth is I'm still working on this Blog, somewhat slowly, because I don't know what I'm doing.
So please be patient with me.
I have several locations; USA and Ireland.........so I post from each.
If you have any suggestions or comments on what I've written feel free to post them here.
Meanwhile I shall keep trying to make sense of this technology.
