My cousin was carbombed today
We're all shocked and horrified. He's a nice guy who has a great family practice. No prescription shenanigans, nothing. He's the chair of the AR medical board for cryin out loud. I'm just...so sad.

Supercilious bigots make me angry
My daughter works at BMHC (Baptist Hospital - part of a huge system) in Heber Springs, AR. This letter was sent to the VP's secretary by that vile American Family Assoc. and then she forwarded it to ALL the employees.

AAAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! We've been frantically cleaning and painting and rearranging, oh my! Nothing like the last minute to get our asses in gear.

I think I'd like to hit ( Read more... ) -
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am thankful for my family. No, really. My dad & stepmom invited all of us (me, John & my mom) to have TDay with them. My mom's side of the family has become so small - it's just my mom, my 3 cousins who all live in or near Jeff City MO, one elderly great aunt and my mom's cousin. That's makes for meager holiday gatherings, especially since I see ( Read more... ) -

Do you ever have weeks where it seems everything you touch turns to utter and complete shit? -
Support this!
December 10th, call in GAY! The date is also International Human Rights Day. The group is asking the LBGT community to boycott everything on that day - work, shopping, school - and do nothing to support the economy.
