  • Republic of T Mentioned on CNN

    Republic of T was just mentioned on CNN’s Inside Politics when they go ‘Inside the Blogs.’ It was around 3:22pm CST. They quoted his post on the culture of life and it’s violent tendencies.

  • Out of Sorts

    Ron and I both feel slightly off lately. You know how when you need to crack your back or have your vertebrae re-aligned and released… ? I feel like that in a life sense. It isn’t bad or depressing or negative. Nothing debilitating. Just a slight tension or misplacement that needs to slip into alignment. […]

  • Excessive Drooling in Cats

    Kitty is drooling a lot tonight. More than his usual ‘so happy to see you’ drops. He’s not sneezing and the liquid is clear and he is still playful and active so I think those are good signs. Gotta take him to the vet tomorrow morning. Update: Vet says to let it wait a day, […]

  • Red Lake Rampage

I’ll always remember the immediate ‘Run Up to the War’ graphics before the Iraq war – totally dismissing any possibility that we might not go. I immediately wondered what would be the blame for the school shooting. The kid […]

  • Creepy Woman in Overstock.com Commercials

    Does anyone else find this gal totally smarmy. It seems the entire company is built on their 1-800 number ‘The Big O.’ And is it just me or when she says It’s all about the clothes! She isn’t saying the L so it’s really It’s all about the coze! Regardless she creeps me out – […]

  • Problem From Hell, A: Chapter 4

    Notes for chapters 1, 2, 3. Chapter 4 Scholars urge that sacrosanct sovereignty does not include slaughter. Hans Frank: (former German minister of justice) Law is that which is useful and necessary for the German nation. The shiny new United Nations would decide if genocide would go in the same container as piracy, forgery, sex […]
