Energy Dumb Dana Shows His Face - (USA)
Energy Dumb Dana Rohrbacher showed his face on the House floor with a studied effort at willful ignorance a year ago several weeks before Senate Republicans stooped to the lowest forms of obstructionism to avoid having to have a substantive and meaningful debate about Global Warming legislation. Rohrbacher’s speech is worth a few minutes of notice since it is such a studied effort, with strong framing language, of misleading deceptiveness and outright deceit on what might be the most critical

Shoot-Out at the Shopping Mall - (USA)
The shopping Mall in Palm Desert, California aimed to attract high-caliber consumers, so the Black Friday “Door-Busters” were to die for! Two shoppers at Toys R’ Us had a difference of opinion over scarce sale-priced merchandise. They pulled out handguns and exercised their Constitutional right to post-Thanksgiving bargains by shooting each other stone-cold dead. Over toys. They didn’t want to disappoint their kids by showing up alive but without this year’s big toy, Nose-Pickin’ Elmo or whate

While all three are interesting and well worth watching, the most entertaining and intriguing of the lot is “I Tried To Leave You.” (Because of YouTube’s 10 minute limit, the song requires two videos, the

The world today is absolutely crackers - (USA)
Seriously. I never go out shopping on Black Friday, because people are freakin’ insane. And here’s yet another reason to stay home: Wal-Mart employee gets trampled to death by insane shoppers. What the hell is wrong with people? They care more about getting a bargain on a big-screen TV or whatever, than the safety of their fellow human beings? This is one of the sickest things I’ve ever heard. It’s bad enough that these idiots pissed away their Thanksgiving by camping outside of Wally-Wo

GOP: The Haunted Party - (USA)
How do you get conservatives to think your organization is worthless? A member quoted in the media suggesting it’s time to move past Ronald Reagan is a surefire way to do it. As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out, Governor Jeb Bush never spoke those exact words, but that impression has been left with conservatives around the nation.

More Money: How to Make It, How to Keep It, How to Be Rich - (USA)
Don’t believe that being broke, being in debt, feeling hopeless is just how your life “is.” If you want more money do understand that you can have and do anything you want. Remember, with kids, dogs, spouses, and life, you generally get what you expect. Don’t wait to invest. There is no perfect time and time is what will make you rich. If you want to be rich do take some of the first dollars you receive every payday and invest them–even if you have to eat beans for a week. Invest what

Black Friday–It’s Only Stuff - (USA)
November 29, 2008 Here's our trunk full of presents! It’s no secret that Black Friday is my favorite shopping day of the year. I love the excitement in the air, the conversations with random shoppers while waiting in lines, and nabbing some great deals from $2 DVD’s at Walmart (as well as a couple $6 and $9 ones for gifts) to my massive purchase of yarn at Michael’s crafts. Plus, it’s the one day of the year you can go shopping in your pajama pants and no one cares. No one is awake to care

A Rant... What is wrong with people??? - (USA)
This post was started yesterday but had to be put on hold because the emotions that came out were more of anger and shock. What results today, is an edited version that is a little more palatable. We hope our message is made clear here. Okay... I still can't calm down enough to write very clearly about this and maybe that makes me a bad writer/blogger. TOUGH!! We had a perfectly wonderful post to put up about our meal from yesterday along with the recipes. But that post won't go up until we

10 Baby Steps to Help You “Get Primal” - (USA)
For this month’s 30-day challenge , we realize that everyone is starting from a different place. As much as we learn from our hardcore Grokkers, we welcome Primal newcomers with open arms and eager ears. We want to know their stories, their challenges, and the strategies that finally make it work for them. Some of us are the type to jump in the deep end of the pool and figure it out when we get to the bottom. Others of us dip our toes, scan the ladder placements, and study the grade of floor de

Would You Rather Have a Pet or a Baby?The Guardian (UK)Family pet? Apparently, more than a third of Brits would rather have a pet than a baby. Pet insurance provider Petplan reckons many people are choosing to get a new cat or dog in place of starting a family. "A total of 37% of people said they would get their broody partner a pet instead of having children," says the company, while one in 20 married couples surveyed admitted to having already bought a cat or dog instead of starting a family.B

Diary Friday - (USA)
I found this this morning and read it, amazed. I have no memory of any of this.When I was in college, I had a job at a pizza joint called Pit 'n Patio. It was in walking distance to the beach, and it was a MADHOUSE. There were lots of CRAZY regulars. Oh, and the place served beer - which meant you had to deal with lots of carding of underage kids, and also had to serve up beers to vaguely homeless beach people who would pay for their beer with PENNIES. Counted out on the counter. I wrote d

Black Friday Death - (USA)
After my post about Black Friday madness I woke up to find a serious note: a Wal-mart employee in Valley Stream was killed by a stampede of people shopping during Black Friday. We all do our part in contributing to the insanity and if the retailers would make the events last just a while longer it could save such trouble. It’s all a Catch-22. If you increase the hours of the sale then not as many people will come shop for goods and then the day would no longer be Black Friday. It would just be

I plan on filling this book out one of these days to pass onto my children. I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds the lives of our parents fascinating. It’s weird to think of my parents as children and it’s really fun to hear stories about their past, how they met, etc. If my children read about my past, perh

I am a war baby, so my take on the holidays is very different from baby boomers and you young 'uns. When I was a kid, we never got Hanukkah presents. If we were lucky, someone gave us a shiny quarte

President Bush Should Pardon the Wal-Mart Shoppers - (USA)
Police in Valley Stream, New York, are reviewing videotapes to attempt to identify exuberant Black Friday shoppers who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker who made the tragic mistake of getting between them and some very remarkable bargains. Prosecutors may even try to score cheap political points by filing criminal charges against some of these bargain hunters, who have been called “savages” and “animals” by demagogues in the liberal media. Of course, my heart goes out to the family of this man

Patio Man Land - (USA)
James Boice's second novel NoVA opens with a high school boy committing suicide. The time and place are clinically presented: Tot Lot, Third Entrance. November 28, 1998. The boy's death is described in a clinical tone, but with long, sinuous sentences, as if the narrator doesn't know where to look. The narrator details the contents of the boy's stomach, counts up the number of kids named Brian in his town (10), and relates the musings of the fifteen-year-old girl who first spots the body hangin
