Where To Vote
Just doing my part to get out the vote. Locate your Polling Place to know where to vote
Nice Work If You Can Get It
OK. Truth be known, I think I have a pretty cool job. Even the title is cool: “Blogmaster.” There’s definitely something to be said for getting paid for doing something you enjoy. Well, I wanted to take a minute here … Continue reading
In Over My Head
Sometimes I get a little too ambitious for my own good. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been thinking of taking this blog off Typepad, setting up a hosting situation, and using one of the man blog tools out there. Well, … Continue reading
100K
I’m fortunate I was sitting down when I read this, because I was thunderstruck when I read that about 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died as result of the Iraq war and its aftermath. A survey of deaths in Iraqi households … Continue reading
Electoral Prediction
I’ve been feeling lately like I should give some sort of electoral prediction. The only problem is my prediction would be a best guess, based on a gut feeling. Of course, if the president can send people to war based … Continue reading
W.T.F.
I’ve finally come across a piece of news that leaves me utterly speechless. Where to begin? I’ll just say it. Jesse Helms (remember him?) has a lesbian grandaughter who’s running (as a Republican) to become a district judge in North … Continue reading
What’s in a Name?
I’m not sure if anyone’s noticed, but I’ve had an itch to change things around here lately. The design change was one thing. But some other ideas have been buzzing around in my head lately. The two big ones are … Continue reading

See what the former governor of Texas thinks of democracy.
The Color of the Vote

Georgia On My Mind
My dear friend Katharine emailed me and asked me to blog about this. It’s the kind of thing I’d usually blog about, but I’ve been so caught up in the presidential election that I’ve missed some of what’s going on … Continue reading
Too Little, Too Late
Talk about your signs of desparation. With just a week left to go in the presidential race, George W. Bush is now trying to convince us that he’s not a homo-hater. President Bush said the Republican Party is wrong to … Continue reading
Visualize it.
I’m not going to say anything about this video, except that you should see it. And after you see it, you should share it.
If He Only Had A …
Brain? Who needs one when you can just borrow someone elses? This is interesting. The Sundance Channel is going to show the documentary Bush’s Brain, all about Karl Rove, the day before the election. When I first heard this I … Continue reading
Book Meme
If there’s one thing that’s been a constant in my life, it’s reading. Thus, I’ve always had lots of books. I currently have three books sitting on my nightstand waiting to be read. And I’m once again approaching the point … Continue reading
That’ll Learn Him!
Pardon me while I engage in a brief moment of shcauenfruede, but this is too funny not to share. Some guy took upon himself to go around his neighborhood taking down or defacing Kerry/Edwards signs, and… Randal Wagner was removing … Continue reading
