A Mom Who Gets It

“The pain is unfathomable. The heartbreak never gets any easier. Parents should never outlive their children. He was such a fine boy. It’s all so senseless. I just don’t understand. He’s in a better place now. It never gets any easier. He was Called Home. We will always remember him.”
I’ve heard grieving families say all [...]

Oh noes! Now they’ll lose for sure!

It’s over
You might as well hand the 2008 election to the Republicans. Again. Dammit.
I don’t see how the Democrats can come back from this crushing blow.
Cindy Sheehan once had my respect. I imagine she once had a lot of people’s respect. She had a real reason to stand up, she made her voice heard when [...]

But … but … butt!

If nothing else, it’s worth pointing out that Poland — like many of the jokes about its natives — is a little bit slow.

At long last, we have a political [...]

In the meantime, I’m outta here for a while. In real life, not just on the Internet.

Octopussy!

Any dimwit asshole with a taste for bullshit philosophy can sit you down and explain how sports are a metaphor for life. Life is infinite and everywhere and quite frankly, if you gave me ten minutes of your time, I could explain to you how my kitchen sink, with its drain catcher, dirty dishes and [...]

I hate you so much Courtney Love. I really do.

I once paid good money for a Hole album.
‘Live Through This’ on cassette, ordered as part of an introductory Columbia House Record Club deal cost me 1/11th of a cent, and about three years of junk mail.
And I wish to God I could get that money back. And Courtney should give it to me, too, [...]
