I’d ask someone to correct me if I’m wrong, but, last time I checked, Obama won the General Election. Didn’t he? And he now has that pretty change.gov travesty active. So why in the hell is his campaign website still active? And we still get wacky things like this Would we be better off now […]

Happy Sunday! Only a few more days to Christmas. This pinup is by Hubert De Lartigue, with a wee bit of help. What is happening in ye olde blogosphere? Over at Q & O, Michael W discusses the Grey Lady laying the blame almost for the housing problems almost solely at Bush’s feet Raven wants you to […]

Preferably in a horrible way. Snuffed. Capped. Sacrificed for the greater good. These are from movies (or parts of movies) I have actually seen 1. Jar Jar Binks. I don’t really need to explain, do I?
