Bush lame duck is the most delicious kind…

I hate to link to op-eds… I especially hate to do so with hyper opinionated rags. *cough NYT cough* But here it is. Accurate as hell, and documented. As Eron has said many times… McCain is a gray wearing a human suit. Think Edgar in MiB.

Why wasn’t I informed?

These people are all crazy. Crazy awesome! I love their various styles of rock crawling madness. I love the monsters, I love the tube lightweights. I pride myself on being able to master a lot of skills, but I’m not sure that I could do this.  This is Iceland’s version.  And [...]

Obamafilter.

I cannot believe that I am linking to the DailyKOS.   Yet, I am.   This article about Obama and Clinton’s voting records and bill sponsorship says it all, in my opinion.   Key differences?   Check.

About the Kims…

Truly, the mountains don’t care. I’ve watched this off and on, oscillating between sad and pissed, mostly pissed. I checked out the sat maps of the area, and all I could think was, “What the fuck were they thinking?” I understand that James had some survival training, and did some truly [...]

I hate my house

I just spent the last 8 hours dismanteling, part sorting, buying new and installing parts to replace my disposal unit. I spent over $250 getting things together and laying them out. Every time I started getting something together a part would not fit or would end up being ‘a non standard’ or I [...]
