I am up, I am showered. Now I must go run a series of christmas related errands.

While I'm writing this, I notice a commercial on CNN for a Pay Per View version of a tribute to Hulk Hogan. People would pay for that? Oy, wrestling fans really are easily duped!

So Trent Lott stepped down today.

This event brought me to thinking about whether this is a Freedom of Speech issue. Some Lott supporters are suggesting it is. Mind you, the well educated supporters haven't said anything, yet. I'm a little curious about what the Supreme Court would say about this. I'm thinking the idea of freedom of speech had to do with not jailing you for expressing your views. I don't think it has anything to do with guaranteeing you a job, or a place of prestige. So, Trent was caught saying a very stupid thing, and then he added to it by coming across as silly on BET, and now he's just got to back up and lay low.

I'd like to know who was at that birthday party that wanted to destroy Trent's career. More than a free speech issue, I think it's a bad karma issue.

The Republican Party wants to tell the people that they are not a racist party, they just happen to have a high concentration of white men in government, that's all. At least that's my perception, and I'm searching for data to back that up, but thus far, I'm not looking in the right place.

Well, I need to quit my gabbin' and run some errands...

The first Christmas with my Cat

I had forgotten that anything string like is fair game for cats. This adds a whole new layer to my gift-wrapping experience.

How does one get on the conversation of Mutant Breast Powers, and contemplation of what the X-men name for such a woman would be?

And alcohol wasn't even involved.

Oh, and the final X-men name was: Boobilee.
