Just How Stupid Does the Republican Party Think We Are?

I’m preparing to take my son camping today. After he gets out of class we’re heading for the hills for a few days of quality time, fishing and “roughing it”. But if I have the time to do so while he’s still at school, I’m heading downtown to change my voter registration status. I’ve been [...]

My Friend David Talked Some Sense Into Me

My friend David is a die-hard Republican. He has been quite distressed about my public declaration that I intend to vote for Barack Obama in November. After trying many different methods to make me “see the light”, he took the time today to write out an email, appealing to pure logic and reason. His email [...]

Leta: a Woman at Age 4

Heather Armstrong from Dooce.com is one of my favorite bloggers. I also “follow” her on Twitter. One of the applications on my iPhone is a program called Twitterific, which allows me to keep up with all of those I’ve chosen to “follow”.

Sarah Palin and One Thing That Excites Me About This Race

No matter who wins, history will be made. If Barack Obama is elected we have our first African American President. If John McCain prevails we have our first female Vice President.

Forgiveness, Consequences and the DECISION to Love

I’ve written before in regards to some of the personal costs I’ve paid for my life decisions. While I have no doubts I’m forgiven, I have a feeling, dear constant reader, that I’m going to continue to pay those bills for the rest of my life. As I’ve traveled this amazing country I’ve had the [...]

Always Good For Bringing Me To Tears

No matter how many times I’ve seen their story, Team Hoyt brings me to tears anytime I see video clips of them racing together. Earlier today, MT of X3 emailed me a video of them. This isn’t the one she sent, but as it’s impossible to embed the one she sent on my blog I’ve [...]

Interview with Shirley from "God Hates Fags"

I’d rather not call anybody “whacked”, but it seems to me that the “God Hates Fags” people are about as close as one can get, and I don’t really know how to describe them any other way. These are the people who, amongst other things, picket the funerals of our soldiers. They receive a lot [...]
