I had a horrible Friday. Normally, I don’t write much about myself, what I think, what I feel. No doubt some of what I believe usually comes through in what I write. (Let me know when you stop laughing.) Yet as shocking as it may seem — though I’m not sure many other people realize […]

“His voice got soft when he talked to you.” That’s what my stepmother told me after my father died. She said she could always tell when my father was talking to me on the phone — his voice would get soft in a tone he used with no others and she knew it was me […]

I’m working on an appeal — and, although I haven’t missed the appeal deadline, I’ve already missed my “draft deadline” — so my blogging time right now is extremely limited.

I’ve been waiting to post until I could finish the second in the series I was working on; the post to be titled “G-d’s President.” But, apparently, G-d’s President wants to keep giving us reasons to pray like we’ve never prayed before. President Bush has repeatedly pointed out that John Kerry cannot keep us safe. […]

I have sometimes been accused of attacking Christians and Christianity. Frankly, while I understand why some people mistakenly believe that is (one of) my (many) motivation(s), they are wrong. While I do not feel a need or a desire to be a Christian, the true Christian tradition is an honorable one. It actually bothers me […]

Cheney has his act down pretty well. If you elect John Kerry, terrorists will attack. If you elect John Kerry, the United States will not be safe. If you elect John Kerry, a nuclear bomb will go off in your yard. Stay tuned for: If you elect John Kerry, the universe will collapse. All this […]

Rich, connecting to us from his NetZero account, takes Mark King to task for not doing research before complaining about some of the actions of the Bush Administration. Because his comment is reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh and other Republican mouthpieces in terms of the specific accusations made against “liberals,” the (lack of) depth of the […]
