You’re Free to Practice Whatever Fundamentalist Christian Religion You Want!!

Daylight Atheism has a very disturbing post today about new legislation that puts us further on the road to an Evangelical Christian Government: In a worrying development for every citizen concerned about protecting state-church separation, the so-called “Public Expression of Religion Act” passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week on a largely party-line [...]

Hurrah for Bill Clinton

Of course Fox News spun the interview with Chris Wallace as if Clinton was a raving maniac, but if you look at the actual interview, you can see that it’s just spin. I had forgotten all about the fact that when he was trying to get Bin Laden, the Republicans, who’d been trying to turn [...]

Most of Us Don’t Need Pills for This. . .

Yeah, I know what they’re really for, but what a hoot!

Incongruous Art

After the kids got home yesterday, we went up to Bloomfield for dental appointments. By the time they were done and hubby was ready to meet us, it was dinnertime, so we decided to eat in a little place down the street. Well, remember the pictures from the Mexican restaurant? Take a gander at this: [...]

Farkin’ Dog!

I’d been out a few times this week cleaning up after the dog, and was really wondering why there seemed to be so much less than usual.  Today I found out why – she’s been going where she’s not supposed to, and where I would have stepped in a ton of it if I’d gotten [...]

Fish Heads!

I was just looking up old comedy tunes I remembered from Dr. Demento and elsewhere, and have discovered something that has filled me tonight with joy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzpN9ce_qF0 This is the video for “Fish Heads” by Barnes and Barnes, which I saw for the first and only time on Saturday Night Live. It’s been around for [...]

Here’s a Thought

Courtesy of hubby tonight.  We were talking about Scientology, because we’d followed a few links this afternoon and gotten quite a brain full.  He suggested that if we want to completely discredit Scientology, get everyone to drop out and lose faith in it en masse, all we have to do is get one single, special [...]

The Omen!

I forgot completely to write about this.  Since we had more spare time this weekend than we had planned on, we sat down together and watched it.  This was the original movie, with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.  It has actually stood the test of time pretty well, and was still a somewhat scary movie [...]

Avast, Mateys!

Don’t ye be fogettin’ that tomorrow’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ http://talklikeapirateday.com/wiki/index.php?page=PiratePhrases http://www.thepiratesrealm.com/pirate%20talk.html

It’s a Lovely Day Today

I hopped on my bike and picked up bagels.  We relaxed and read the sunday papers.  I walked daughter #1 to a friend’s house, trying to get daughter #2 to socialize as well, hubby’s cutting the lawn, and we have no plans at all.  It’s sunny, not too hot, things is good.
