Because everyone needs to see this, no matter what. Because we need to stop the bullying on matter what the reason.

More OCD and #questiontime!
I've talked before about how the internet has given all of us a tendency towards exhibiting ADD characteristics (Dare you to read an entire article from start to finish without a single click of a link or over to another browser tab!) Yesterday I was laughing at myself though at my latest little display of... Continue Reading →
NN09 – Last one, I promise – plus football injury :-(
I shall wrap up by saying - thanks for the great party Markos! The Dkos group hosted a fabulous party in a freakin' church! Seriously, a church was converted to a bar and it was pretty awesome. A live band, some damn funny entertainment and FREE DRINKS for 2 whole hours! Suh weet! I danced... Continue Reading →

Some like to point to studies on who watches which networks along political party lines. I've been more interested in something more... Continue Reading →

Pent up political posts are forthcoming, but this one is too ripe and must be addressed: For gawds sake all you damn politicans anywhere on either side, would you please pay your flipping taxes?? Guys, I have been filing... Continue Reading →
In honor of Molly
Molly Ivins passed away two years ago today. At the age of 62. Now here is a woman who's voice we sorely missed in those two years! Of course I loved her because she seemed to be one of the few who "got" what I saw in "Dubya" as far back as his dad's GOP... Continue Reading →
