Saturday, August 28th, 2010I don’t like guns. My dislike comes not from feeling a need to have more gun control laws – I’m a firm believer in the Second Amendment – but rather an intense fear that I’d shoot my own damn foot off. When I lived in Los Angeles, my father constantly requested that I go to [...]
Yeah, I’ll Quit Complaining…
Friday, November 20th, 2009When my government gets its head out of its nether regions, actually starts listening to their constituents and puts forth solid solutions to problems instead of trying to force bills through congress just so they can have bragging rights. Don’t like the message: vilify the messenger. Note to congress: read above.
Run, Don’t Walk
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Yes, I know I’m later than usual with the update on my fiancee’s Mike Rowe’s shenanigans. I’ve decided to skip the blatant pervy comments that last night’s episode seems to demand from me, so I’m working on it. In the meantime, I received an email from a former co-worker and current friend who I worked [...]
In Today’s News…
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker, who terrorized California in 1984 and 1985 has been linked, via DNA, to the murder of 9-year-old Mei Leung. We should have let the mob that cornered him finish the job instead of letting him sit on California’s death row for 20 years with three hots and a cot, [...]
The Joke’s On Us
Friday, October 9th, 2009One of the biggest irritations when I was a teacher (yes, I know, all three months of it), was when parents called me when grades were released to inquire as to why their child was either flunking or in danger of flunking. Never mind the fact that I’d sent home mid-term progress reports. This issue [...]
That Which Makes Jimmy Carter Sound Like An Idiot
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009The level of disgust I feel when someone (read: anyone) plays the race card when it’s not warranted is immeasurable. And it’s gotten worse since President Obama took office. I mean, seriously. It drives me absolutely in.sane when people who disagree with the president are immediately labeled as racists. While I don’t doubt there are [...]
The Raft Lives Part II
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009It appears that the mystery of the giant blob that had invaded Alaskan waters has been solved. It is freakin’ marine algae. So much for life imitating art. *sigh* The disappointment is overwhelming.
The Raft Lives
Thursday, July 16th, 2009When I first read this story, Stephen King’s “The Raft” immediately popped to mind (which can be read in Skeleton Crew or seen as adapted in Creepshow 2). I mean, seriously, the opening sentence of the news article is: “It’s big, it’s black, it’s gooey and it may be alive.” How “Stephen King” is that? [...]
I’m Confused…
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Will someone please explain to me why President Obama says “that we can’t welcome…reform that justs invests more money in the status quo – reform that throws good money after bad habits” in regards to the health care industry and yet he saw fit to throw money hand over fist at the banking and auto [...]
The Perfect Present For Someone Who Has Everything
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Don’t you hate trying to find presents for the person who already has everything? Like my dad who is apt to buy what he wants for himself leaving the rest of us scratching our heads for birthdays and Christmas. I don’t think 17th-century witch bottles have been the rage for quite some time. It’d be [...]
