George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad.

I wonder ... do you suppose this bailout "emergency" is the Administration's "October surprise?" I've been expecting them to come up with some sort of emergency to ensure a Republican victory in the upcoming election, but I actually expected either an attack on Iran or some sort of imminent  "turrurist" threat.

Our country is in danger of continued religious bullshit oozing from the White House, into the Supreme Court, and what's left of our personal freedoms. I thought we'd had enough of this already.

We went to see the Dallas Theater Center's production of The Who's Tommy last night, a surprising season opener for this conservative venue. It brought the house down, as they say. Thunderous Standing O.Signs warned of "loud rock music." Someone behind us said this was the first time she'd ever been handed ear plugs at the theater. When the local band, Oso Closo, opened up full blast, I thought,

This is my new baby, Miss Augustina Olympia. "Auggie" for short. She's an Italian Greyhound that was left at a shelter. A friend's daughter was fostering her when Scruffybutt died.

I find Adm. Fallon's sudden resignation to be the most disturbing news I've heard since the Decider invaded Iraq. THIS ARTICLE's title, Commander's Resignation Shows a New Era of Micromanagement, misses the most important point. It's NOT the micromanagement that worries me. What disturbs me is the fact that he resigned amid ongoing disagreement with Bush/Cheney over the "need" to invade Iran. The

By now you've heard about Iowa Republican Congressman King saying that "if Obama gets elected President Al Qaeda /Muslims will be dancing in the streets even more than they did on 9/11." This latest smear job was on the heels of the picture of Sen. Obama wearing Somalia's traditional garb. Both are attempts, of course, to scare voters into thinking that Sen.

In our precinct tonight, more Obama supporters showed up to caucus than Clinton supporters, and CNN is reporting that Obama won in the caucuses. That's very good news, but it would have been better had he won the state.

I can't believe we didn't have internets for over a week since we moved. There was a question over whether the phone company or the apartment owners were responsible for the phone jack to the PC, then the phone company lost our DSL request, then their "expedited" work order ... wasn't. Plus, delays and a glitch in getting everything moved, first to the new apartment, and then stuff put into

Yep, everything on television is a re-run during the writers' strike, so why should anything be different here at Chapterhouse? (besides the facts that I'm worn out from getting ready to move, and I'm too lazy to come up with something new for the occasion.)I hope to get back to normal (whatever that is) in a week or two and come around and harass each and every one of you!Click here for the

I was wondering why Sen. Clinton hasn't told her husband to STFU, because his comments haven't helped her. Or ... have they? According to this article by Dick Morris for the Rasmussen Reports, these comments are part of the Clintons' strategy to send a message to white voters that this is a racial fight between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama, hoping there will be a massive white backlash

Meet Yuki-Taro, Japan's snow-eating machine. Not only does it eat the snow, it then forms it into bricks which can be stacked neatly out of the way. "Yuki" means "snow," and Taro is a common boy's name, so Yuki-Taro is the equivalent of "Snow-Joe."On Japan's northern island, Hokkaido, where I lived in the early 1950s as an Army brat, snow is abundant in winter.

First, here's an update on Henry: A very nice lady at one of the vet's offices I visited took Henry in to foster him until we can find a good permanent home. She has four poodles, which is great because Henry will probably only wear out three of them before he gets too tired to play. Whew!

I want to create a story that branches out in a variety of different, unexpected ways. I don't know how realistic it is, but that's what I'm aiming for. Hopefully, at least one thread of the story can make a decent number of hops before it dies out.If you are one of the

The Texas State Science Curriculum Director, Chris Comer, resigned - well, more correctly, she was forced out - because she may have, possibly, you know, implied that the Texas Education Agency might have a slight bias against "intelligent design" by forwarding an email "announcing a presentation being given by Barbara Forrest, author of Inside Creationism's Trojan Horse, a book that says

Finally, a presidential candidate said what needed to be said when it comes to politics and religion. The fact that this came from a Republican candidate, and MITT ROMNEY, of all people, leaves me gobsmacked.Some quotes:"Religious tolerance would be a shallow principle, indeed, if it were reserved only for faiths with which we agree." "There are some who would have a presidential candidate

Did you see where Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee didn't know about the NIE Report yesterday? You know, the one Bush was hammered about in the press conference? Huckabee didn't know about it, and apparently didn't even know what it was. Here's the transcript:Huckabee not aware of NIE report on IranMy colleague David Paul Kuhn attended an on-the-record dinner with Mike Huckabee and

I realize many bloggers will do posts about this story, and they'll even have witty commentary to accompany it. I just am not up to it. This is the same old shit, from the same old shitty administration, and more blood will be spilled because of it, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I can't think of anything to say about it other than that at the moment. I'm sorry. Here it is, in full:

As both of my regular readers know, I inherited a 100-year-old house from Max, my ex-husband, when he passed away four years ago. "Maxwell House" was chopped into a five-plex, probably after WWII when there was a housing shortage. Tomcat and I operated it as a rental property for a while (you may remember the stories about some of the tenants, like the Extreme Party Girls and the Cat Lady.) Then

Why is this called "Black Friday?" It's the day after Thanksgiving, and apparently lots of insane people queue up in front of the shopping malls at oh-dark-thirty to do their Christmas shopping. Shouldn't it be called "Green Friday?" Is it called "Black Friday" because the retailers hope to be in the black by the end of the day, as opposed to the red? What?When did they start calling it Black

So often we see ourselves as a lonely, cultural pinnacle, superior beyond all comparison. But if recent excavations at Stonehenge offer anything, they put our era in perspective, reminding us of an unbroken lineage shared across continents and cultures. We are simply an extension of an ancient age, living now in the next lost civilization. This is from an article entitled Stonehenges all around
