In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

I would ask where you find these, but do I really want to know?

Many years ago, I was playing Trivial Pursuit.
I was lucky that day. I knew a lot of answers.
At the end, someone asked me, “How do you know all that stuff?”
I give you the same answer I gave then: “I read the newspaper.”
I love newspapers. Printed. Electronic. I don’t care. I love newspapers. When I travel, I don’t read USA today–that’s the MacDonald’s of newspapers, news for the lowest common denominator (as opposed to Fox, the lowest common denominator of spin, but I digress).
I always read the local rag, wherever I am (The Sacramento Bee, by the way, is a damned good paper). Even in Helena, Montana, or Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
And, thanks the the wonderful tubes of the internet, I can read the Washington Post every day.

Just because Rush Limbaugh used to write a column for a newspaper does not make it “a damned good paper.”
But anyway, I refrained from commenting on this pillowfight story last night because I just don’t know what to think about it. There’s something about men enjoying seeing women in conflict that strikes me as perverse in a way I can’t put my finger on. And oddly, I keep getting this feeling it’s related to the tendency of some men to enjoy lesbian porn, too… hmmm…

Ya know, some women get off on seeing men in conflict. If the men are in conflict over said women.
Heck, sometimes, they even set up such conflicts. (Gasp!)
Turnabout is fair play.
No I won’t even go there.January 29, 2007 at 8:40 am
Speaking as a woman, I could take offense, but I won’t, because I know that some women do like to see men fight over them. I personally don’t. What I will say is this: Chris likes his life as it is. If he thinks I’ll fight over him, he got over that years ago. He knows if he tried to do something like that, his home life would be severely disrupted.
