  • Corrupt to the Core

    Lean Left

    This is inexcusable: As financial markets tumbled and the government worked to stave off panic by pumping billions of dollars into banks last fall, several members of Congress who oversee the banking industry were grabbing up or dumping bank stocks. Anticipating bargains or profits or just trying to unload before the bottom [...]

    Vinny: anecdotal evidence : evidence that supports the other guy's position Ha! By the way, if you're not, you really should be reading Vinny's blog. He blogs sporadically (not that we have much room to talk), but when he does, it's almost always worth reading. Vinny, if you're seeing this plug, ... [...]

  • Not Acceptable From Bush, Not Acceptable From Obama

    Lean Left

    The Obama Administration looks as if it is heading down the same destructive path as the Bush Administration when it comes to Gitmo prisoners: Obama administration officials, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, are crafting language for an executive order [...]

  • Liberals, Conservatives, and Sex Scandals

    Lean Left

    Krugman makes some astute observations: First of all, there’s a difference in what bothers them. When a liberal politician engages in sexual betrayal, what bothers his erstwhile supporters is the betrayal. When a conservative politician does it, what bothers the supporters is the sex. And after watching a series of scandals unfold, [...]

    Maybe soon I'll get my site and sidebar back to normal. :/ Anyway - this week flags, next week pink. Iraq War Hero, USAF TSgt, My Cousin... one of the fallen but not to be forgotten. I decided to use this for "flag" as there is an American Flag displayed. It's been' [...]

  • Aptly named

    Lake Neuron

    In 1952, a 4-year-old boy named Steven thought he was going to the circus. I’m not certain from the stories I’ve heard whether he misunderstood or whether he was playfully misled. He was disappointed — at first — when he was taken to a big building with seats facing a [...]

  • If you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you

    Lake Neuron

    I was looking for something else and discovered that Comedy Central has begun re-running back to back episodes of the wonderful and underrated “Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist” at 7 a.m. (8 Eastern).

    This gem of a show from the mid-1990s is crudely animated (using a computer-based technique called “SquiggleVision” which some [...]

    Lauredhel just went and threw water in the hot skillet of oil that is the breastfeeding vs. formula feeding debate online. She has some demands for “those who think that society has ‘gone too far’ in supporting breastfeeding, that mothers who formula feed are demonised and breastfeeding mothers aren’t.” You may [...]

    The Squirrel Queen

    Number of comments: 2
    Thanks to @missbethd on Twitter, I ran across some captivating, disturbing and laughable album covers at Bizarre Vinyl. Remember back in the day before mp3s – and even CDs and cassettes – when you bought albums and the artwork on the sleeve was usually poster worthy. These albums don’t really fit [...]

  • Treason

    WhitesCreek Journal

    The Whites Creek bald eagle babies have left the nest and are being coaxed from tree to tree by mom and dad. There's a lot of screeching and complaining from the babies and a lot of whistling from the parents. Some things are constant in the universe. My walk last [...]

    I’ve been thinking about becoming a surrogate.

    You see, one of my childhood best friends in this world is struggling to take her pregnancy to full-term. She’s suffered two miscarriages already and she’s not getting any younger and I know she and her husband are desperate to have children.

  • On Sanford

    Camp4u

    I always wonder why people get so excited about when a conservative has a slip or does something wrong. News flash! People aren't perfect. The last perfect one was nailed to a tree a few thousand years ago. Mark Sanford wasn't the next perfect one and anyone else you had [...]

    Between the all-nighter I pulled last week to finish writing A Case for Love and now concentrating on revisions/edits, I’m pretty brain-dead right now. But within the next couple of weeks, I’d like to start a new craft-of-writing series. Back in January, I posted the list of topics I’d already [...]
