This cartoon is funny but more in a gut-wrenching “how true” kind of a way than a “Family-Circus-Look-What-Billy-Did-This-Week” kind of way.

My mother was telling me the other day about a weird set of events that occurred one night while she was on-call for Red Cross. In the middle of the night, the Red Cross cell phone rang and she got up to answer it, but no one was there. She checked the number but it was all 9’s across the screen. She went back to bed and went to sleep.
Several hours later, the same thing occurred.
Well, the next morning, she got to thinking about it and she thought she remembered hearing about some scam where people can

Hmmmm… I took this blogthing that I wandered to from James’ blog.
The strange thing is that the first time I took it I got:

But by changing my answer on #3 from “There are simple scientific explanations for the universe” to “our soul will survive death”, I got: Read the rest of this entry »

The thing is that my dad did actually walk uphill in snow both ways… (you see, if your house is at the top of a hill and the school is at the top of a hill, it works) and you can’t argue with that…but I guess now I have a smartass remark the next time he pulls that one out.

I had a three day weekend and was sort of dreading the gazillion emails that appear in my inbox when that happens. At least I can always trust the office manager to sprinkle some humor in with all of the office stupidity that happens even when I’m not here.
(Seriously, these days, it might get to the above. I mean people are going to the store in their PJs now. How soon until they’re just in their undies?)
(Truth in advertising? I

I nearly choked on my Diet Dr. Pepper when I read this. Too funny!
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who masterminded the 1994 elections that brought Republicans to power on promises of revolutionizing the way Washington is run, told TIME that his party has so bungled the job of governing that the best campaign slogan for Democrats today could be boiled down to just two words: “Had enough?” [“Republicans On The Run” (Time Magazine)]
I so want that on a bumper sticker, only one of those ones that goes on the inside of the window so it

EFF Chairman Brad Templeton sez, “Since I kept getting cards in my luggage every time I checked a bag describing how the bags had been searched “for my protection” I designed some shipping tape that has the U.S. 4th amendment printed on it in an endless loop. You can put it on packages, or over the zipper of
your luggage. Now, if they want to search your stuff, they have to literally slice the 4th amendment in half in order to do it. Ok, it may not stop them but it’s a nice metaphorical statement of protest.”

One of the things that has amazed me in the last four or five years is the right-wing true believers’ inability or refusal to see “the facts” or “the truth” or to question anything. This administration seems to be beyond reproach in their eyes and even the so-called “liberal-biased” media doesn’t seem all that interested in pursuing the suspicious actions or behavior of this administration. For the most part, it all seems to be swept under the rug. The killers of Natalee Holloway have been pursued with more diligence.
And I just keep wondering how much worse it’s going to get before someone does something. Anything would be a start. Name calling and pointing fingers isn’t enough. Threatening isn’t enough if you don’t do something.
Thunder is impressive, but it is the lightning that does the work.

My co-worker, the crazy one who thinks President Bush is listening to her cell phone, cracks me up.
I was telling her about my grandmother, the living one, who despite being bipolar is just plain perky in the senior citizens’ home with all of her new friends and little boyfriends. I added that of course, she’d been a cheerleader in high school…
Well, suddenly my co-worker asked, “Is it true that George Bush was a cheerleader?”
I thought, “Oh, Lord! What now?” but said “Yes, that’s true.”

Sometimes I just need to be reminded that no matter how crazy an idea it is, it can succeed with determination. :p
I’m not very good at this “rendering” stuff and I find this to be a very expensive hobby, but here’s what I put together using Daz Studio. I wanted to do me, but they don’t seem to have a chubby cheek map and I can’t figure out how to add the blonde highlights to the red hair or the nose ring and I can’t seem to find a skin map pale enough.
