Am I alone in my concerns? Hawks appointed to the cabinet? Economic advisors who were architects and enthusiastic proponents of the system that just failed us? Not a single injection of new blood so far? How about a real progressive in the cabinet - like Kucinich? And now talk of delaying the...

Single
The more I see of men, the better I like dogs
Marie-Jeanne Roland

I'm dreading tomorrow - I have a very scary turkey in my fridge - it's in a "solution" - I've never eaten anything that was in a "solution" that was anything less than - well, scary. It just reminds me of formaldeyhde, or pickling brine, or non-dairy product - whatever that is...

Spinoza called guilty pleasures "the road to rapture, where all manner of liscentiousness waits to trip up the unwary traveller - only saints or fools walk there".
Or maybe that was Mel Gibson - I forget...
So I'm holed-up in my "office" again, since my wife is having her...

I typed in the URL of my home blog, and in less than a second Typealyzer produced the following...

Today the puppies are 13 days old, as near as I can tell, anyway. I know that we have had them since the Sunday before last, which puts us at Day 10, and I believe they were around 3 days old when we got them. They still haven't opened their eyes, so I'm hoping all is well with them. Yesterday, the...

I must be nuts - I just paid 100 dollars for a CD - but this thing is like rocking-horse $hit - you just can't find it(or the MP3s) anywhere - I mean anywhere...
In my defense, I'll ask you how many bad hundred-dollar dinners you've had - or how many fake hundred-dollar angora/cashmere sweaters you...
