For the Grandkids, Someday

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Ticket in hand, I stood in the streets with some 60,000 people, passed through four security checks, and just made it in. There are few words to describe being there except to say it was emotional and I couldn’t help but be overwrought by its effect. I made it home at 1:30 this morning, I’m [...]

Lighter Fare

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

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 always reading [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #11: Alcoholic Voters

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Which candidate would you rather have a beer with? For serious. This is the question that some voters, swing voters it is said, consider a legitimate means to picking their candidate. Now, before I go all CAPS LOCK on your ass, I’d like to at least say: Hooray for voting! Vote, vote, vote! That said, [...]

The Pink Elephant in the Convention

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I am by no means unbiased, apolitical, fair and balanced. I also am generally opposed to placing my political beliefs upon those around me, including on this blog (unless it’s to decry my own apparent penchant for only meeting and dating Republicans as it were). That said, whether you’re labeled a “right wing hate-monger” or [...]

Toolbag Wednesdays

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

For whatever reason, March was a banner month for toolbag encounters in my world, so I’ve decided to share the wealth each Wednesday when all this toolbaggery tended to occur (i.e., “What a toolbag…oh, well of course…it’s Wednesday).For example, March’s toolbags would have included Elliot Spitzer for obvious reasons, the Texas men’s basketball team for [...]

Even My TiVo's Depressed

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

It’s been a difficult couple of months. I’ve been listless. I’ve been annoyed. At times, I’ve even been desperate. How desperate?I’ve become a frequent viewer of Deal or No Deal.As aweful as that sounds, I’m sorry to say, it gets a lot worse. I’ve been brought as low as The Moment of Truth on Fox. [...]

America's Next Top Mod…er…Presidential Candidate

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Yes, we’re still chatting about the Superbowl (take that you cad, Tom Brady!), the commercials (kinda boring, no?), and digesting last night’s bagel dogs. And yes, we’re only three days into New York Fall Fashion Week, and I’m glued to the The New York Times coverage. And yes, tomorrow’s Fat Tuesday (meaning there are many, [...]
