Summing Up The First Look At Anti-Choice, Creationist Sarah Palin

Ok. Let’s get down to it. A former beauty queen, with no substantive political experience, who is anti-choice and a creationist , and therefore anti-science, is now supposed to become the Vice President. She would be just one heatbeat away from the Presidency. Doddering around the Oval Office will be her elderly President.  One heartbeat [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: July 23, 2008

If this round-up were any juicier, you’d totally stick a fork in it…
1. It is long overdue to retire this policy.  Gay soldiers should not be held to a higher standard than straight soldiers who are free to date who they like and not conceal their attractions.  It is the gay soldier who [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: July 22, 2008

This round-up includes spam, porn, and money talk. Oh, you know you wanna read it…
1. The quote that wouldn’t die…

Ten Post Round-Up: July 21, 2008

Some days, it sucks to read the news, because it’s a reminder that our country appears to be being run by a bunch of frat boys, out on a lark and hoping that a grown-up might come along and fix it (all the while forgiving and forgetting who was responsible for the bull$#!% in [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

These days it seems as if it’s a good time to invest in bicycles (to save gas money) and mattresses (to store your savings). At least, we can drown our sorrows in “hopsicles” and if we forget where we hid our money we can rely on our daily cuppa to refresh our memory. We may [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Some days (particularly Mondays) require more than one cuppa. Today is one of those days.
1. Word for the day: transparency
BlackListed News: Kucinich Demands Congress Issue Subpoenas for Continuity of Government Plans
John Conyers has been issuing subpoenas on other issues, which may be important. However, what could be more important for Congress than [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Thanks to Phil Gramm for reminding me of something I forgot, being a member of a “nation of whiners”, I tooks some time to do just that (thanks to those wonderful people who took the time to listen). Truthfully, though, I prefer to do my whining via blogging, so what better place to do that [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Going through some life changes around here and adapting to a new schedule and still finding time to slack off for my mental health (needed some extra time, yesterday, after the FISA bill passed the Senate), so I have been shirking my Round-Up duties.  But, I don’t want to get out of practice (being [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I admit it. I was playing a bit of hooky, yesterday, and I was too busy (having fun) to put up a post. But, I kinda like you guys, so I decided that it would be kinda fun to put up today’s Ten Post Round-Up.
Gasp! Shocking news: The government and the media lie to the [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Hey, hey, it’s Independence Day and I just happen to be feeling a bit of that independence since this is actually the second regular work day that I have off from work.  This is abnormal as I work weekends.  I am at a loss for what to do with myself, so I decided to [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Cheeseburgers, tomatoes, and porn! What more could you want to read about in today’s Ten Post Round-Up? 1. Al Dente: Almost (In)Edible Photo: Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburgers
From flickr, via…THE DEVIL. Either that, or it’s from a Google cafeteria in New York. Apparently they serve Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburgers, a.k.a Luther Burgers.
Since something or [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, so long as you got your sunblock, along comes bad news about sunscreen. On the upside, apparently, one of summer’s favorite, fruity, treats; the watermelon, turns out it’s got some very positive qualities most people never think about. Oh, yeah…there’s some other stuff [...]
