I have a lot of catching up to do from this weekend (plus a shindig announcement that I can't put off any longer), so "everything else" goes here:

[Anti-Abortion Advocates Stumped Over Appropriate Punishment]

It seems that a lot of people who are against abortion are also reluctant to actually legally punish women for having one -- were the ( Read more... )

[Gonzales Lies Again (Surprise Surprise!)]

In his Senate Judiciary Committee testimony Tuesday, Gonzales claimed that he had an emergency meeting with Congress on the eve that "other intelligence programs" were about to expire, which is what prompted him to talk to Ashcroft in the hospital. Congressional documents show that the meeting indeed ( Read more... )

[Body of Missing Whitewater Student Found]

They found Kelly Nolan on private property, weeks after she disappeared. Maybe that's not the right word -- the last person to see her alive (or, perhaps, the penultimate person) was walking her home when they were intercepted by a man who claimed to know Nolan, and offered to take her the rest of the ( Read more... )

[The US Senate Finds Their Collective Balls]

Congress may have a lower approval rating than the President (probably due in large part to their posturing and perceived, but I for one couldn't be happier that they're exercising their oversight powers for the first time since Bush took office. More specifically, the Senate Judiciary Committee just ( Read more... )

[On Brake Tension]Long story short, I went over a curb on by bike to avoid a car whose driver wasn't paying attention. It dented the rim enough that I went back to the place where I bought it (couldn't have been more than 15 minutes to ride there! cool!) to see if they could fix it up or replace the rim.

Here they are:

Maybe it was an April Fool's Joke?
Man socked with $218 trillion phone bill.

Marketing Training
The Brain Training craze is one that presently is very specific to Japan, and even more specific to the Nintendo DS. So when I see a news story that features a PSP knockoff called "Brain Trainer" (that I believe has yet to be released commercially), ( Read more... )

DARKNESS! THE DARKNESS IS SPREADING!

( Click for Album Cover image )

1) A story from Sabrina's neck of the woods.

2) My guitar came yesterday. Now to figure out how to get the tremelo working. Note: I still love my delicious bass to death, and it's still my instrument of choice (for instance, I'm actually able to play it), but the desire to rock out is just too strong not to have the avenue open to me.

3) Okay, ( Read more... )

One of those busy weekends -- so busy that I won't be able to take care of a journal backlog. Interestingly enough, I will talk about none of those things; so much has come to my attention today that I had to bump it up in the queue over these non-things ( Read more... )
