Hey hey winter’s coming! The lawn is frozen, there’s ice on the boat, and the swarm of fruit flies in the hitchen has finally died. I knew there was a reason for this season! Now I need to find my ear-flap hat so I can take a walk. Brrrrr — my nipples are tiny ice […]

Call me cynical. Please. Anyway, here’s my light reading for the day. If you took G.W.’s brain out, and lined up all the functional brain cells end to end, would you have to learn how to count with imaginary numbers? Related Images:

So, it is Monday again. What is happening today? I made the mistake of watching C-SPAN last night and was subjected to Rush Limbaugh, but I will get to that later. I see Condoleeza Rice is not getting an early Senate confirmation hearing. Now that’s interesting. I think I will deal with that later. Ah!- […]

Now there’s an idea: Protesting unfair elections. Fascinating how America is offended about fixed elections in the Ukraine, but totally accepting of the same here. Somewhat two-faced, isn’t it? Why not democratic elections in America? Or is that just one more thing we should be willing to give up in war on terror. Or is […]

Wow — two entries in one day! I’m usually lucky to post once a quarter. Okay, this one is short: I just upgraded to a new version of MT. Too bad non-paying users cannot send in bug reports; I’ve discovered a slew of bugs after upgrading (actually, I had to uninstall my old version, then […]

It’s time to write. It’s time to write, and continue writing. Usually I scribble something down on a notepad or a post-it (tm?), then ignore it.

I guess this means the elections are truly over: They’ve let Rumsfeld back out of the closet and onto the screen. Rummy’s back, providing the emphatic answer that he’s already answered the question, but to reiterate, we don’t know the answer to that. I love listening to him talk, especially when it starts sounding and […]

So three hundred and eighty tons of explosives that we were supposed to be watching have gone missing? Did it fall through a crack in the floor? Did someone leave it in their pocket and run it through the wash (I hate it when I do that!)? Maybe it just got misfiled . . . […]

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” — Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States I realize I should try to come up with […]

This is to Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, who was “more outraged at the outrage” against Iraqi prisoner abuse: Dear Sir, I understand your feelings. They are present in my 4-year-old when he feel he has been wronged. America is a great nation. America is a civilized nation. As such, we live be certain rules. […]
