No retreat. No surrender. Just Pete’s Wicked Wanderlust Cream Ale, a shot of agave tequila and Triscuits. It is 6:06pm and I am having the breakfast of champions! Yum. Related Images:

The great thing about pets is that I’ve already spent my rebate check (or, if you want to be honest and use the Republican phrase for this sort of thing, my tax and spend check). Yay, me! What a brilliant idea. Bush has managed to destroy a once-thriving economy with a combination of pointless wars […]

The Democratic Caucus here in Idaho is being held tomorrow night, and I can’t go. Crap. The thought of another four years of pro pre-emptive war leadership does not make me happy.
