Ok, I note in the stats that I get people looking for pictures of those who have died.  I want to provide some linkages, and the first one is one that always punches ME in the gut…why should I suffer alone?  Pass this one on to your conservative friends who think we women should be […]

Except it has moved from Germany to Vermont.  Yep, you read it correctly and you have Homeland Security to thank.  They want a fence through the center of a little town in Vermont that straddles the border with Canada.
Yep, Canada.  Because, you know, Canadians are foreign…they may as well be some of them Afghani Taliban […]

(hat-tip to Les H.for the source of my rantage)
Ah, how many heroic epics have instructions about fighting to the last man? Doesn’t it make good movie footage, and how very “300-ish” it is, eh? Note, however, even in “The 300″ the man so wounded as to not be able to fight effectively was […]

The sound of women going “Hillareeeeee” is still ringing in my ears.  I sure hope it isn’t all sour grapes.  I read my way around the blogs this morning, and some on the other side of the Hillary argument dismisses her followers as bitter bull dykes.  Welllll, that is certainly….well, yeah, let’s not, ok?

I have been reading blogs for three days now, and almost nothing else since I have been a bit ill and feeling very lousy.  The house is a mess, yard tasks are untended and I can’t have cuddles with my pet ferrets for fear of giving them the respiratory crud that is knocking me back.

And after watching Ted Kennedy pass the torch and blow life into the dim sparks of the DNC fire last night, as Maria Shriver brushed tears from her cheeks, while her husband Arnold addressed the […]

Will SOMEbody please tell the idiots who work for Faux News that “freedom of speech” does not mean anyone HAS to talk to YOUR sorry asses? The birth-control eye-glassed dude (Griff?  Seriously, that is the name he uses?) in Colorado whining cause the “leftist protesters” would not speak with him does not understand this […]

Ferrets are not pets for the unaware. They are too inquisitive and too acquisitive for the casual pet owner. They steal keys, cigarettes, wallets, pagers, cell phones and shoes. And they investigate any likely source of goodies—thus today’s picture of Taz proving that Woozles, unlike Tiggers, DO like honey. This is […]

Usually, I update on the non-US Coalition dead at New Moon, and we have a week to go yet, but the count in Afghanistan was so high this month that I am doing that part now, I will update the Iraq war dead of the other nations next week.
So, here are the American dead for […]

Ok, the promised book review. Or shredding, as the case may be? First off, I must say, one hears so many different opinions about what is “green” living, but even the most environmentally conscious person is always conflicted because how DO you live in the modern world without damaging it? So, getting […]
