I am a Slow Eater
There, I’ve said it and I can’t take it back.
When the two Js were in town last month, I warned them that, on the occasions we would be eating out, they would both inevitably end up waiting for me to finish. Sadly (for them), this is exactly what happened. Going out for pizza, I typically [...]
Super Duper Natural
I presume you’ve all taken a gander at the Sarah Palin witchcraft video going around, and read some of the attendant kerfuffle about it.
This is the kind of thing that really bothers me about our American religiosity. To the average Joe six-pew, an anti-witchcraft prayer is ‘weird.’ Just like Jeremiah Wright seemed ‘weird’ [...]
Only the Lonely
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you might remember that back when the shooting at Virginia Tech took place, I predicted that it was only a matter of time before the media would jump on the ’shooter as loner’ bandwagon. Unfortunately, I was right.
So, when I saw this story about [...]
The Supremes
Boston Legal is a show filled with overwrought acting and heavy-handed plots. Or is it heavy-handed acting and overwrought plots? Either way, it’s a show I don’t like much, despite its inclusion of William Shatner.
But I do like this scene, mostly because it depicts the actual Supreme Court with the current justices. [...]

Small Town Values Are Elitist
Every election cycle we are plagued by the Republican fantasy rhetoric of the Common Man (this year, the Common Palin), which is the companion to another Republican rhetorical myth, those sacred and ever-vaunted Small Town Values.
However, in my experience, the most prevalent small town value, which cuts across everything they stand for, is elitism.
Watch a [...]
Sounds Like a Good Plan
I’m more than a little concerned about all of the bad news in the transportation sector recently.
I’m referring, of course, to the train wreck, plane crash and ferry sinking which have all occurred within a matter of days of each other.
To counteract my fears, I was thinking of taking a nice, calm bike ride. Or [...]
Three Completely Random Things
Yes, the title pretty much says it all. Here they are.
Number One:
Why is it that we talk about who stars “in” a movie, but then we talk about who’s “on” a TV show?
Movie Example: That one guy in Beerfest was funny. TV Example: She plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica. See what I [...]
Seriously Scary Stuff
Okay, well, that was enough of a break. Back to scary religion/election-related things, like these videos and articles.
On the one hand, we send spacecraft to Mars. Good for us. On the other hand, we promote religious hysteria. Bad for us.
