Nuthin? But Hair There
2007-03-01 17:52:02 Ever have one of those mornings when you just want to shave your cat(s)? Last night, I was pretty pooped out from the days activities and then a fast run to Lowe’s for ever more supplies to finish up the Great Room project.

What?s So Funny??
2007-02-26 17:50:05 The new FOX News comedy show, Half Hour News Hour, just isn’t funny. It’s hard to imagine writing jokes about cancer , starving Koreans or drowning polar bears but that’s what viewers were subjected to on the premier show. FOX had been leaking clips all week so most people got to see the Obama segment ... More About: Funny , Fun , What , Hat
Second Chances?Then Third?Then?..
2007-02-23 17:48:02 Is it just me or are you getting sick of hearing about rehab?

?Merry Mellodies? Bush Is Going To Get Us Killed
2007-02-20 17:47:05 Did you ever watch any of those old cartoons? I mean the really old cartoons. The ones so far back that Bugs Bunny looked more like Peter Cottontail and Elmer Fudd was very short and fat. Recently, I’ve been having some cartoon flashbacks anytime I think of George W. Bush .

2007-02-20 17:47:05 Okay…to answer the emails…yes, I’ve been a tad on the skimpy side with posts of late.

Fighting Fire With Fire
2007-02-17 17:45:01 I’ll admit my knowledge of Washington State is limited–I can point it out on a map, I know Olympia is the capitol, Seattle is the largest city, and they grow some tasty apples. Turns out they grow more than Jonathans and Granny Smiths. They also grow some pretty savvy political activists as well. Witness ... More About: Fight , With , Fighting , Fire

Would Somebody Smack John Howard?!?!
2007-02-12 17:41:02 I am beginning to worry about Australia’s conservative Prime Minister John Howard, who said Sunday that victory for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his party in next year’s presidential election would be a boon for terrorists.

Sometimes I Hate Being Gay
2007-02-11 17:40:24 Yes, I said it. I’ll even say it again, because it bears repeating. Sometimes, I hate being gay.
