Small Beer, Big Hangover

Still around, just too many pots on the stove to do much opining. Check out this: Op-Ed Columnist - Small Beer, Big Hangover - NYTimes.com

what's wrong w/this picture?

...or, rather, this sentence:

CNNMoney.com Market Report - Dec. 8, 2008: "NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks surged Monday on signs that the automakers will be able to avoid bankruptcy and President-elect Barack Obama's proposed stimulus plan."

Latter-Day Republicans vs. the Church of Oprah - New York Times

I am tickled pink that the NYT finally quit charging for online access to their columnists; not just because I'm happier not forking out moola, but because now I can share!!

Latter-Day Republicans vs. the Church of Oprah - New York Times

you go, girl!

So guess what my best friend did? Not only did she run the NYC marathon on Sunday, but yesterday she was the banner headline & the front page of the sports section in our local paper ! Unfortunately the online version doesn't show the "before & after" pics, but it's an awesome article. Even if I do say so myself. ;)

Designer dogs: The huggable, trouble-full, dumpable puggle

Hey all, I realize I have been nonexistent in the blogosphere; of late I've been too busy playing Halo3! But every now & then an item comes up that I don't feel gets enough attention...this one happens to be one of my pet peeves. Are you considering buying one of those "cute" mixed breeds, such as a puggle or (heaven forbid) a labradoodle? Please read this from The Seattle Times first. Lord knows there are thousands upon thousands of perfectly wonderful dogs that lose their lives for lack of a home. Step up and help a shelter dog before looking at any "breed".

oh puh-lease!

Let's see...you're mad at me for not getting back to you right away about doing you a favor; e.g., driving out of my way to deliver something to you? Hmph. Considering the only time I hear from you is when you want something, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Yet, curiously, I always am. Sigh.

Fareed Zakaria rocks

Really, I should have posted this one first. So for all you non-Star Wars geeks out there, here is the more well-rounded (and still somehow optimistic) take on our current plight: Zakaria: How to Restore America's Place in the World - Newsweek: World News - MSNBC.com

Not sure how I came across it, but here's a nice little proactive site: TreeHugger. After all, why should Al Gore have all the fun?

I couldn't stand him, but may he r.i.p.

Jerry Falwell died today. The summation of my opinions about the man are reflected here. I hope that he found mercy at the Pearly Gates, since he & so many like him deny that very mercy to their fellow human beings.
