The New York Times couldn’t find one woman who was happy with how things are changing in Iraq? Not. One. However, people are staying connected. This was interesting: It’s a funny thing. There is the deterioration of Iraq’s infrastructure — scarring of buildings by bullets holes, streets deformed by concrete blocks, checkpoints. But you can […]

A five year old, probably with Asperger’s Syndrome but as yet undiagnosed, boy stays home after being voted out of his class by his classmates at the behest of his unapologetic teacher. Like the case of the woman harassing her daughter’s depressive friend via MySpace, this case is unfathomable. In fact, when I read about […]

Over at FoxNews there’s a very funny article titled “15 Reasons Why She’s Not In The Mood“. Here’s #2: She’s feels gassy. That’s right. Women toot too. And whether she sounds like a trumpet or is being held hostage by a battle of bad gas, she’s feeling like a walking fart pillow. Even when she […]

Scott McClellan joins Dick Morris as a disloyal, self-serving former staffer. Who ever likes a “snitch” as Drudge says? He better enjoy his moment in the sun. Wait, what am I saying? The MSM loves a turncoat. He’ll probably get his own TV show. Wanna start a pool on how soon he gets a TV […]

Go check out The Next Right a start-up blog by Jon Henke, Patrick Ruffini and Soren Dayton. Will it be the Right’s answer to the Daily Kos? We’ll see! Cross-posted at Dr. Melissa Clouthier.

Megan McArdle writes about racism and conservatives (via Instapundit). The comments are really interesting. Go read them. The opinions range from a self-righteous defense of white guilt to diminishing the contributions of prominent black conservatives because they’re not really conservative. So let me get this straight: Liberals are better than conservatives because they feel bad […]

I thought it might be fun to laugh after this day of McCain misery.

Dr. Helen notes that the kvetching by Republicans just might create what we fear most: Believing that your party is a bunch of losers surely will not help it to improve it and may, in fact, hasten it’s self-destruction–something some Democrats would be happy to see–but why play along while marching in step to the […]

You are not seriously sitting out the election or voting for a Democrat are you? John Hawkins, as you’ve read here is done. Ace is flipping his lid too: Or perhaps it’s simpler: John McCain is unfailingly honorable; if he acts in a way that seems to be dishonorable, you must be perceiving it incorrectly, […]

Yesterday, I read John Hawkin’s interview with the anonymous campaign staffer. The more I read, the madder I got. At the end, through IM poor John got sprayed with my vented spleen. If that sounds horrible, it was. He said,”Wow, you’re in a bad mood.” Actually, no I’m not. I’m in a great mood. I’m […]

A Texas appellate court says that the removal of the kids from their moms is unlawful. I wonder if that means the 15 year old moms married to 50 year old men, too. Holy f*ck what a disgusting mess. There is just something about seeing these moronic Little House on the Prairie women running out […]

Gateway Pundit reports that a 22 year old WHITE man exploded his face a bit when his suicide vest prematurely activated in the loo. Aw…. Let the significance of this sink in. Imagine a society where every person becomes a suspect. Oh wait, we don’t have to. Israel lives with these threats every day. Why […]

If the Right is apathetic, the Left is apoplectic. I’ve been ruminating on the implications for the country whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton get the nomination. To me, Hillary Clinton is the harder candidate to beat in the general election. She is perceived as more centrist and has done a pretty good job casting […]

Last night, late, after American Idol and the delight in David Cook’s success, after the news, a friend, her kids and her kid’s friends showed up at the door and kidnapped me. The destination? The opening show, 12:01 a.m., of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Well, I wanted to to see […]

Megan McArdle asks: Are conservatives out of ideas? Um, no. But the conservatives aren’t running the Republican party right now. Neither are the libertarians. Right now, fat, happy, pseudo-dems are running the party and the only ideas they possess come from the Democrats. It’s called liberalism lite and it sucks. Megan posits that some are […]

Bloggers live glamorous lives. We’re like Hollywood starlets except were older, don’t shower often and wear pajamas to the grocery store. Wait, that’s just like a Hollywood starlet. While I sit here cranking out the content, one of my progeny uses me as a jungle gym when he’s not watching Disney Channel or Noggin. I […]

Longtime readers know of my germ phobic nature. I’m not totally anal, but after having a kid spend four months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, public germs freak me out. That’s in contrast to private germs–the germs in our homes, our beds, bathrooms and kitchens–that our bodies have acclimated to and are used to […]

Hello! That’s because Macs are better. (Shhhhh! Don’t tell John!) UPDATE: I was saying….. Cross-posted at Dr. Melissa Clouthier.

Hey, I could be a headline writer for The New York Times. I’m just that good. Well, what do you know? Women are free. Finally, after years of oppression, women are making their choices, even really smart, scientifically gifted women, and choosing what researchers think they shouldn’t like: “soft sciences”. Oh, and some women are […]

It was bound to happen. The Boomers got old. Please note. I didn’t say that they grew up. Now that, I don’t think will ever happen. The Boomers got old and they’re taking over some places. For example, when I visited Upstate New York this last December, we visited friends who live near Elmira and […]

Move over Legolas, there is another, fairer creature in these sun dappled woods and his name be Prince Caspian (actor Ben Barnes). Yesterday, I went to watch the next installment of Chronicles of Narnia. Good triumphs, evil staggers, and a war decides it. There is faith, hope, death and hubris, but those lessons were all […]

I don’t want to do it. I just don’t. But I feel compelled, based on Rachel Lucas‘ provoking prose to do it. Blast that woman and her infernal commitment to casting a spot light on popular culture. So, last week the dumbasses that rule California decided against the people and for the few, the out, […]

While the good people of Oregon worshiped adoringly and the press facilitated the faux-outrage over President Bush’s scorn for appeasement, the meat of the President’s impressive speech was lost. Here’s my favorite line: Ultimately, to prevail in this struggle, we must offer an alternative to the ideology of the extremists by extending our vision of […]

I never say “howdy y’all” in real life. Just thought you should know that. I’m a Michigan girl transplanted to Texas. “Howdy ya’ll” is fun to hear from a Texan, not so fun from a mid-westerner, but it is fun to write. So howdy y’all. I’ll be blogging here and participating in Hawkins’ grand experiment. […]

If you don’t believe there is a media bias, then you must live without electricity and printed paper. Even Men’s Fitness joins the media Obasm. I’m laughing as I write this. The press swoons like Elvis fans from the 50s. What a bunch of little girls. Is it Hannah Montana? No, it’s Barack Obama! Touch […]

My mom birthed me, therefore I am. Thanks mom! Wait is it 10:41 CST? Why, yes it is. I rolled my old bones out of bed an hour ago, secure in the knowledge that I got to sleep in today. Sleeping is just better when you know someone else is responsible for the urchins. A […]

Who wants to hear someone bitch about his (or her) life? No one except a highly compensated professional who is getting something out of the exchange. Otherwise, after a certain point, no one gives a flip about your sad sack life. Everyone has his story. Everyone has one. That is not to say that past […]
