  • Armed Citizens Patrol Border

    Armed citizens will begin patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border tonight. Organizers of the Minuteman Project said the civilian volunteers, many of whom were recruited over the Internet, will meet first for a rally in this one-time silver mining town, then fan out across 23 miles of the San Pedro Valley to watch the border for a […]

  • Why Filipinos Are Always Late

    Ron and I will have some great cross-cultural discussions at times. One was around punctuality (I feel like I’ve blogged this already – that or I’ve told it to so many people that I’ve composed it in my head already). I hate lateness. My whole family hates lateness. We consider it a disrespect of someone’s […]

  • RIP

    The saddest part now is that in a week, not one of these pro-life extremists will be there to comfort the parents in their time of grief – a grief delayed for over a decade. They will have moved on to the next opportunistic circus and the (hardly) Christian Coalition will be foaming at the […]

  • Chronicles of Riddick, The

    If you can tell me what the hell this movie is about, more power to you. What a snoozefest. What a way to flush Judi Dench’s time down the toilet. The movie seems like it has 2 separate storylines that limp along like a drunk slug. Effects and design are great and features hotter-than-hot Thandie […]

  • Gefangen

    In our quest to find gay films that might possible be arousing and entertaining (without being too pornographic), Ron and I stumbled on Locked Up, a German prison film (originally titled Gefangen). What the hell kinds of prisons to they have in Germany? These guys have wine and chairs and furniture and magazines and pickles […]

  • Can Pharmacists Refuse Care?

    This is just appalling. Conservative pharmacists are refusing birth control and emergency contraceptives to women with prescriptions from their doctors. If you can’t recommend and see a full range of options for a patient, YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. Does federal and state law require that objecting pharmacists be accommodated?

  • Jesse Jackson's Ubiquity

    Is it just me or does Jesse Jackson seem to spring up wherever he can get the most visibility? Is he a famewhore or am I just misinformed. And I guess he could be both a famewhore and a worthy advocate. But lately he just seems like a famewhore.

  • Temple of White Socks

    Remember how Richard Dreyfus remakes Devil’s Tower with mashed potatoes and then with his lawn furniture? While I had my back turned, kitty had dragged four pairs of white socks from the bedroom and arranged them on the rug in the main room. When I woke up this morning I wondered why I hadn’t put […]

  • Please Welcome Lingo!

    A big hearty welcome to our Ohio Correspondent, Lingo. Lingo and I went to school together in Dayton and have worked on lots of plays together and she was part of our Chicago migration – she and hubbie have since settled back to the Ohio to re-group before a European romp. I look forward to […]
