Common Sense

I feel like crap, but I’m in a good mood. Thank you Eli Lilly and company!
Yesterday, Sunday, I went out for lunch with my mom. We invited one of her friends (who happened to call that morning wanting to take her to the same restaurant we were planning on going to) and some of my […]

I appreciate all the comments and emails. Thank you all very much.

I woke up Monday afternoon to the sound of my mom screaming. She found my stepfather, Bill Lewallen, had died in his sleep during the day. I called 911 and tried to do CPR but his body was cold and stiff.
I’ve spent the week trying to help my mom, who has been breaking down into […]

To be honest, I’m a little hesitant to just jump into someone’s corner for 2008.

Though I have yet to actually drive by and see one, I’ve heard the uproar over billboards stating: “I questioned homosexuality. Change is possible. Discover how.”

Tomorrow, Jan. 9, the 80th Legislature begins work, new episodes of House begin on Fox… and I turn 24.
A momentous day. Almost as if it were the temporal junction point for the entire spacetime continum. Or a remarkable coincidence.
What’s on the agenda for the Lege? Well, they’ve still got a lot of work to do […]

I know many of you come here to read my reasoned and informed political opinion, but lately I haven’t had any because I don’t know what is going on. Sure, I’ve heard some grumblings that Pitts is just a stalking horse for Craddick (from quite a few people) and some people are bristling over who […]

Apparently during one of the many days that I wasn’t paying attention, Lindsay Lohan must have called strippers “whores” and “cunts” (the word of the day).
A little known secret is that strippers are more powerful than the mob, and ‘Ol Firecrotch had to make restitution.
“I love strippers,” the 20-year-old actress gushed as she entered the […]
