Why I’m mad at Jesus

Longtime readers know my dog’s name is “The Jesus.” They also know that I get home from work very late, like 1 a.m. So, I got home late last night, fixed myself a glass of tea and got an ice pack from the freezer. Jesus was jumping around being his usual hyper self and my […]

Common Sense Mom forwarded an email to me that I found hilarious. It was asking people to contact Google to fix a problem with their search engine. If you type in “failure” and Google it, well, this is the top page.

Local PBS affiliate KNCT has offered to produce a debate for Democrat Mary Beth Harrell and incumbent John Carter. Harrell has accepted, Carter… not so much. The way he put it, he sounded like a total dick. It wouldn’t be the first time, though.
However, in a previous interview this summer, Carter went a step further, […]

I remember Joe Scarborough as the guy who went to Bush rallies in 2004 and sounded like every other conservative talking head on TV.
But reading the top few posts on his MSNBC blog, he sounds like an intelligent conservative. You know, the kind of guy I could actually sit down and have a decent coversation […]
