I have trouble sleeping. It began with menopause—I would wake every hour or so and stay awake for an hour or so. Now, I don’t do that any more, but my body has decided that I am hard-wired for night-owl behavior and I can’t drop off to sleep before one or two a.m. […]

Here are the names released by the DOD between the full moon and today (Mind you, there may be others who have died prior to the third quarter—but those names were not released yet.  They will appear on the next list):
Hospitalman Marc A. Retmier, 19, of Hemet, Calif. - Navy - Afghanistan -rocket attack
Petty Officer […]

Well, while I do hope Obama wins….anyone not a Rethug works for me; I am pissed that he caved with the rest of the Democrappers on the FISA bill. I am sure you are all surfeit with why it is a bad thing. And because I am not quite yet back in the […]

A guest post from the Pickled Jester:

Not THAT one, the other one: George Carlin!  He has died, and with the loss of one more man who can make us thoughtfully laugh at our own stupidity, the world is definitely poorer.  We could still give that listening a try, we could try harder to prove this statement of his to be incorrect:

Friendly fire they told the parents.  Shot in the chest during a firefight, friendly fire, that is what parents of Kamisha Block were told.  But she was shot FIVE times, including once in the head and her mother got suspicious at the funeral.  A fellow soldier named Norris killed her and then shot himself.  Her […]

I am officially out of gas. Not talking the $4.50 per gallon sort. But I will post pictures and irrelevancies….as well as relevancies, as I find them, when I am insomniac or otherwise actively trying to lose my mind.
Why vote for a lesser evil like Cheney, for instance, or McCain….go for the gusto?!

I saw a really silly piece on the news the other day.  It claimed that bumper stickers contribute to road rage.  It seems the oh-so-scientific sorts sat in traffic and didn’t move when the traffic light changed, to judge the “road rage reaction” that they got.  And they say that the people with bumper stickers, […]

That’s me of late, my batteries are low.  Lucky for me “Brilliant at Breakfast” is on the ball and alerting me to my worst fears being true and not only boogymen in my mental closet.  I thank that blog for alerting me to a deal not yet openly announced!
