I’m adding an extra shot of espresso to my daily dose of java today because in order to keep up with the tall tales a spinning in this election cycle and the tales of woe pouring out in the news like rain, I need an extra shot today.
Gov. Sarah Palin has flunked the Pinocchio Test [...]

Ah, I have returned to the blogosphere from what is now my regular weekend musical sabbatical and only the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows how much I’ve missed you guys.
The one thing I wish I missed is the fact that, these days, the great outdoors of Colorado has been colder than Condoleeza Rice! I’ll take an [...]

Retailers across the country are cheering “Thank God It’s Friday (Black Friday, No Less)!”
I’m all for participating in “Buy Nothing Day”. I hate crowds (one of the reasons I hate movie theaters), so standing in line for “bargains” is not on my “to do” list. One year, we tried to participate in on-line Black Friday [...]

It’s been a long week here in sunny Southern California where the sky was glowing with flames rather than sunshine for days on end.

Thomas Jefferson had it right when he wrote:
“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers… [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. [...]

It wasn’t enough that many folks in Southern California were burned out of house and home or at the least evacuated thanks to inadequate response of aid to the area. Hell no, they residents of areas that got treated to the whirlwind visit from Bus today today also got to deal with this:
