Thirty in thirty – #3: Don’t wee wee on my festive march
Ok, so I’m way behind with my 30 in 30, and maybe I’ll make up for it, and maybe I won’t. I’m posting tonight, so be happy. I am! In other words (and this is the theme of this post), … Continue reading

How’s that other face doin’, Ms. Palin?
Dear Sarah, This is a rant, but since you appear to be about as interested a reader as our beloved 43rd president, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter what I say – you’re busy readin’ all those newspapers and magazines … Continue reading
