Toolbag Wednesday #17: The Bobby Jindal Fan Club

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

My problem isn’t so much with Piyush ”Bobby” Jindal himself (though it is sad that he “Americanizes” his name so that it might be more “palatable”). He certainly makes no egregious offense as Palin did in my (and let’s face it, any right-minded person’s) world. His politics are his, or his party’s, and while I personally don’t [...]

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Okay, so this one is a cake walk.

I made it home at 1:30 this morning, I’m bleary [...]

After this week’s developments (looks like my Dad might have a job opportunity!), I finally got around to carving my pumpkin last night- the pumpkin that my deer-hunting, Republican, Palin-loving Uncle gave me from his garden. I can’t wait to send him an email with this picture attached! MOO-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA!!! Also, thanks to Emo [...]
