Why Can’t America Have a King!?
So, yes, I admit it. I watch Jon Stewart. Particularly when he has guests like King Abdulla II of Jordan. You should watch this clip (you can skip the humor stuff at the beginning, if you’re like me) — King Abdullah is about as smart and reasonable-sounding as you would want a leader of a […]
Rick Scott — a man run amuck
Rick Scott is just running amuck with his wild-eyed attacks on Alex Sink. The St. Pete Times captured his cynical, self-serving frenzy best in this piece: Rick Scott’s Cynical Smears — you’ve got to read it. Is it really possible that anyone is voting for this man, much less giving him their money?
Too many boobs, too little balls
So … parents were upset because of Katy Perry’s cleavage in a dress she was wearing while prancing around Sesame Street. Just curious — are these the same parents who lined up in droves to take their kids to see or buy the DVDs for The Little Mermaid? Personally, I do think Katy could have […]
Eat Prey Dove
So, yesterday morning, I woke to a cacophony of blue jay screeches outside my window, making their many different strident and fearful cries of warning. There may have been only 10 blue jays — but they sounded like 20 or 30. I went out to investigate. And spotted this fellow on the wires near my […]
Just call me Michelin MC
Arrggghhh. Does anyone remember me writing, lamenting, I guess, about some health problems I was having? If there’s nothing I hate more, it’s when people talk about their health — harsh, probably, but seriously, don’t we all know someone who from the moment you encounter them, is telling (or worse, showing!) you in nearly nauseating […]
Moon shine pining
I can’t see the full Harvest Moon tonight … it’s covered with clouds. So, since I have no inspiration for a new writing about my favorite full moon of the year … here are all my old writings of full moon madness, for those who might have missed them the first time ’round. April Moon […]
Gays can adopt in Florida — overturning crazy 1977 prohibition
After yesterday’s ridiculous vote on the don’t ask/don’t tell scenario, this announcement below comes as a very welcome bit of news: From the Tampa Tribune 9/22/10 Court affirms Florida ban on adoption by gays unconstitutional The Associated Press Florida will immediately stop enforcing its ban on adoptions by gay people following a decision by a […]
My not-so-married life
This month, September, in fact today, is the anniversary of my divorce. I’ve been divorced twice as long now as my marriage even lasted. And yet, I found myself thinking of my brief experience of being a married woman last night and again this morning.
Ask & Tell
As in “you don’t have to be afraid to tell the truth if you’re asked … ” Today’s the Senate’s vote on the dumbass don’t ask don’t tell law that bans gays from serving openly in the US armed forces. I hope they get this one right.
Monday morning bragging rights
Some good news appeared about me in the media over the last couple of weeks — and I’m in the mood for a little Monday morning bragging (as opposed to quarterbacking!)
