It’s more turkey than I can handle.
President Bush snuck into Iraq today to wish the troops a Happy Thanksgiving. (He’s our wish-granting President, you know.) The trip was made secretly ‘for security reasons.’ Contrary to what I’m sure many Republicans are going to claim, this is … Continue reading

As if there’s not enough paperwork in my life.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° had a segment on “sexual consent contracts” last night. (The topic was so jaw-dropping insane that I waited until they put the episode’s transcript online before I wrote about it, because I was afraid I might … Continue reading

The trackball on my PC mysteriously died last night, just as I was finishing a touch-up of Lens Filter Advisor. Too stubborn to wait until I could buy a new pointing device, I tried to reactivate the “Microsoft Accessibility” software … Continue reading

Who’s afraid of Christi Paul? I am!
When I first moved to Phoenix in 1998, I started watching the Channel 3 news a lot, mostly because it repeated all day long on cable. Much of Phoenix has a love/hate relationship with the Channel 3 News; it acutally … Continue reading

Q-tip revelations!
That Q-tips® instruction manual I ordered showed up a couple of days ago, but I just now got around to looking at it. Guess what? I apparently have been using Q-tips wrong all these years. The booklet had eight pages … Continue reading

Election Day in Nowheresville.
I only live four blocks from Trenton City Hall, so I walked to the polling place. The 2003 election in Trenton was close to pointless, with only Treasurer and three City Council seats contested. (As evidence of exactly how much … Continue reading
