Also, in case it weren't clear...
...my wife is the best wife in the history of everything ever. -
Where...
...did the right-wing myth that there is a "war" on "people of faith" in this country come from? Anyone know? I mean, to paraphrase Jon Stewart, do Christians dare to hope that one day, one of their own might actually rise to high political office--say the Presidency? Maybe even forty-four in a row of them? Apparently, asking people to say "Happy ( Read more... ) -
The Purchasemonkey...
...has a ruptured eardrum, a blotchy rash, a bruised dent in his left shin whose origin he cannot recall, sore legs and feet, a raspy voice with no tenor register and a headache--and fears he may have lycanthropy. No, wait, it's just Fair season.
Here is a link to a photo of the Best Wife in the Known Universe™ and yours truly in Fair mufti.

Tom Tomorrow does it again
The fundamental difference between leftist and rightist views on "civil liberties": This Modern World.
For the 5,371st time: feminism is not relevant to your lives, young women! All the major battles have been won! *sigh*

Veterans' Day
My father was Command Master Chief of the Southeast Region in the Navy. My stepfather a Master Chief keeping reconnaissance birds flying for the Navy. My aunt's husband was both Navy and Army (I still don't know *what* he did). My mother's brother was a sniper in 'Nam. My grandfather was Chief of the Boat on a submarine in the Deuce.

Of course, I most must thank the Best Wife in the Known Universe™ for masterminding the whole thing and being, well ( Read more... ) -
Of interest to approximately three other people in the universe
My lady wife, which is to say, in this particular forum, pixiecrack, and, in the more general forum which comprises the entirety of Creation, the Best Wife in the Known Universe™, has just done me the honor of informing of the identity of that actor chosen to portray the, for want of a more precise term, "hero" of the moving picture derived from the ( Read more... ) -
Tentative excitement

Lending library: Planescape Torment?
I am happy to loan out my books and games, but there is a problem: I forget that I have lent them, and then they walk out of my life forever.
A friend of mine is now asking to borrow our copy of "Planescape: Torment," a truly excellent video game set in the Planescape universe. Catch is: I can't find it. The Best Wife in the Known Universe™ ( Read more... ) -
Actual blog post: link to another site
In an increasingly rare and collectible moment, I will use my "blog" actually to log my web browsing, inasmuch as I am posting a link to a web site I have just perused:
If God Had Wanted Me To Be Accepting Of Gays, He Would Have Given Me The Warmth And Compassion To Do So.
It's actually pretty astonishing how many complaints to the school board ( Read more... )
