Stefush Responds!
(These are questions asked by squareslant and can also be seen there..)

1. Once you mentioned being married…what does your spouse think about your blogging? Does she read your blog or do you keep it a secret? Do you think secrets hurt or hinder a marriage?
My wife Rina, or Wifey as she’s known behind closed doors, loves my blog. Loves it. Tells the world about it with more enthusiasm than if I’d bought the largest PR firm on the planet. She reads it daily. She’s recruited many people from all over to read it daily as well.
Secrets are built-in to any relationship, and the strength of the relationship is in direct proportion to how large any secret becomes in it. Anyone who feels they don’t have a little sumpin-sumpin they conveniently left out of the conversation from their lover, spouse or live-in is fooling themselves. Not having any secrets is contrary to who we are as human beings.
2. You have a love of both cinema and theatre – if your big break came and you were cast in “Hit” – would you want it to be on stage or behind a camera? Why?
Oh man, see there – there I win either/or. Because if “Hit – Starring America’s Favorite, Stefush!” got large on Broadway, inevitably it’d be made into a movie, a.k.a Chicago. Likewise if something I was in took off at the box office, it’d make its way to Broadway, i.e. White Christmas, Monty Python’s Holy Grail, you-name-it. Plus I’d have the added jazz of knowing that most kick-ass movie actors tend to have cut their teeth in theater – witness Kevin Kline, John Malkovich, John C. Reilly, etc.
3. You said on your blog “I am an ardent and angry liberal. I believe that if you send kids off to war, you should have some first-hand experience of watching someone die in battle.” Is there any reason that you could get behind to send “kids off to war?”
HELL NO. AND NEITHER SHOULD ANYONE ELSE. The whole idea of war in itself is fundamentally wrong. Anyone who believes it’s right for kids to be sent into battle and getting their limbs blown off is living a sick, sick, sick lie. I dare anyone reading this to talk to someone who’s seen combat and ask them if they thought it was “cool”, “smart”, or did them any good personally afterwards. War is an inherently cowardly act.
4. If you could live anywhere – where would you choose and why?
I would live EVERYWHERE – I’d have the money to scour the entire universe seeking beauty and truth and the perfect sidewalk cafe. I’d live in hotels, on space stations and with friends in Iceland and the Congo. I’d go everywhere. I’d be a fast-talking, peripatetic Everyman with constant wireless access.
5. You have 5 minutes to address the United States Supreme court. What do you talk about?
“Gentlemen and ladies, good morning, and let me begin by saying this is not a drill, nor will any questions be entertained. As I speak, thousands of single mothers, gay rights activists and tree-huggers have convened at the White House. They are trained in spec op tactics, armed to the teeth, and looking fabulous in paramilitary outfits designed by Carson Kressley. They have been equipped with the latest in personal armor, telecommunications equipment and Mac make-up accessories. Any attempt to dissuade their entry into your chambers by use of force will be responded to in kind. Those captured will be dressed up burlesque-style and forced into daycare services in inner-city ghettos.
I have also enlisted several pro-choice organizations, reps from all major news media, and am broadcasting this message via the Internet and multiple guerilla-networks all over the globe.
We are tired of being decided for, spoken down to, and rescinded of our basic human rights because of your decisions. We will begin firing in 2 minutes unless you give up Scalia and the rest of the louses. They will not be harmed if you follow our directions. You are being watched, and the world is waiting for your response. May God see fit to dress you up like the turkeys you are and deliver us from your evil.”

LOL - your #5 conflicts with your #2.
You did not post the rules - so you could interview people.
Wow. I think you're right, SSW:
Let's go invade China and tell THEM that all those Communist peasants got it all wrong and then we'll kick their Commie asses right out of their veggie stalls and ricefields and show them what's what.
All the fucking way with the USA! I won't be satisfied until the last scratchy little chink kid's veins are hanging from my patriotic, God-fearing teeth!
Happy now?
Okay, you are hypothetically assuming another nation could pull something like that off. Why? Do you REALLY BELIEVE that could happen? If so, why? Where is your information coming from?
Better yet - what would be in it for them?
What scares me is that you consider this at all.
Thoughts like that only prove a point I'm trying to make - the more room we make for allowing concepts of war in our lives, the more paranoid we will become until I'm chatting online with someone I'll never meet and yelling at them over a science-fictional potboiler nightmare.
Another thing I want to talk civilly with you about is your talk of God blessing the U.S. and the Marines. God doesn't choose sides, SST. Right now there are people in Iraq screaming for Allah to cleanse the Earth of Marines. Who's right, who's wrong? People are still getting blown up, firebombed, murdered and raped. Where is God in ANY of this?
In #2 you said…

Since they would never give in to you – espically in the 2 minutes you gave them I am assuming your “army” trained in spec op tactics, armed to the teeth would open “fire”. So I guess you don’t mind killing…as long as the people you are killing are conservatives. LOL
OK. First of all - Squareslant - totally. My "transsexuals with rifles take out the Supreme Court scenario" absolutely conflicts with my ardent anti-war rhetoric. It's also complete satire.
Just like sexy Ann Coulter suggesting that all liberals be hit with baseball bats in lieu of conversation. (At least I'm assuming she's joking, or at least has a shitty swing.)
As for Staff Sargeant's Wife, when does this type of behavior end? If you came up and punched me in the face for no reason, and I go and get two friends of mine to come back the next day and not only hit you back, but blow up your fucking house and neighhorhood, does that make things better between us going forward? Or are you going to sit there and think of a way to get me back the next time? What does international violence solve? Nothing.
What is going on right now in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, anywhere? Do you feel safer? Did you back in the 80's when Reagan had the whole nuclear issue with Russia happening?
At what point do we try something else? What would make you feel safest, SSW? If the U.S. ran the world? Seriously now, what's your take on the whole issue? I'm not talking in circles, this isn't crap, what is YOUR OPINION and why am I wrong? Tell me when the violence has it's logical end. When do we give up fighting, not only as Americans, but as human beings? What will have to happen to make war pointless? That is my hypothetical question to you, SSW.
Tell me about what the world looks like when war doesn't exist. (By the way, you never answered my God question, either. Why is God on our side and not theirs?)
Okay. Your original question is what? All the major cities of the U.S. have been annihilated and would I then authorize force? Kids dying, that sort of thing? Hehehe.
