I will begin this post just as I did my previous one about the Presidential debate last week.
I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I side with Democrats on many issues. I side with Republicans on many others. I still don’t know who I’m going to vote for in November.
I am not going to evaluate any specific topics, points or responses. I’ll let others do the analysis and mudslinging. Here’s what I saw.
Sarah Palin’s game plan was to defend Palin. She had a horrible week leading to the... Read Full Story
By now, we all know that Congress failed to pass the $700 billion bail-out package on Monday. I’m glad. It does not imply that I don’t care about pain and suffering of the average American. I have learned that opposing any plan that President Bush says is absolutely urgent with dire consequences requires much needed time out and contemplation.
I reject Republicans’ wining that Nancy Pelosi’s speech, just prior to the vote, condemning Bush’s policies is the culprit for the failed bail-out... Read Full Story
Jennifer Moss loves the earth - perhaps a little too much. She rides her bike naked (OK, almost naked in a G-string) around the Portland area. Everywhere she rides, 9-1-1 calls from shocked citizens follow.
Watch a short video. There’s no nudity.

This is precisely why too much green living makes you nuttier than a one pound jar of Jiff Peanut Butter. In an interview she said:
“Peace begins with ourselves - our minds, spirit, heart... Read Full Story
I just came across this. I can’t believe I missed it several weeks ago when it actually happened.
So, not only is Barack Obama a very liberal Senator, his parents are . . . . . . . . . gay?!!!
I learn something new every day. I would expect this slip of the tongue from Fox News but not from ABC.

First Presidential Debate 2008
I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I am not an independent - I don’t even know what that means. I side with Democrats on many issues. I side with Republicans on many others. I still don’t know who I’m going to vote for in November.
I watched the first Presidential debate with a clarity and a sense of objectiveness that most people are unable to exert. Most Americans are already committed to their own political party’s candidate. I am not! I don’t... Read Full Story
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that gestures and signs that accompany emotions of winning and losing are part of nature rather than nurture. → source
According to this study, it appears that all athletes tend to demonstrate similar spontaneous expressions of pride and shame. When athletes win, they expand their chests, tilt their heads and outstretch their arms. Amazingly, even those athletes who have been blind all their lives (and... Read Full Story
A new study suggests that Flu strikes communities with children sooner and harder than it does others. In other words, kids propagate germs faster.
Thanks . . . for stating the obvious. I wonder how much money went into this stupid research. Any parent is already well aware of that fact - no scientists or grants required.
I have a 16 month old. Every day as I pick her up from daycare, I see how she is exposed to all kinds of nasty germs. Often times, I watch her play with other children as... Read Full Story
The new revelation that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s daughter, is pregnant has rekindled an old debate: should families of nominees be off-limits? I have always maintained that families, beliefs and secrets of all policy makers are fair game. Shocked? Don’t be. The alternative would be silly.
We elect policy makers who set the course of our civic lives. In return, we should expect them to propagate initiatives that they, themselves, adhere to and respect. We should not, under any... Read Full Story
Did you hear the one about an ex-KGB officer, turned dictator, who was walking around with a TV crew and a tranquilizer gun? They were hunting waaaaabits, err, tigers.
Score one for Putin. He was reportedly tagging along with a conservation group and a TV crew when a Siberian tiger charged them. Putin the man shot the animal with his tranquilizer gun. He was called a national hero without even having to resort to Polonium poisoning (remember Alexander Litvinenko)?
President Bush had him... Read Full Story
My daughter is now 16 months old. To horror of many, I do not send her to bed exactly at 8:00 pm. Most nights she stays up until 9:30. I usually have the TV on in the background as I play with her or feed her.
In early August, I had The O’Reilly Factor on TV (yes, I alternate between FoxNews, MSNBC and CNN) as I heard him make an unbelievable claim. I’m just getting around to blogging it.
The background to this story is that in July of 2008, The San Francisco Chronicle reported that The... Read Full Story
