Wow. A hunting shooting kills five in Wisconsin. and there was some misunderstanding in Chile that caused a pushing match among Chile security and our Secret Service.

What a strange pair of news stories.

This is wrong, wrong, wrong

Thanks go to scarcrest for linking to the following article.

I need to figure out who I need to gripe to in our government about this. Including anti-abortion legislation in a spending bill at the last minute is hideous. While I am sure the democrats have done something similar, we need to come up with a way to take the bullshit out of bills. They should involve one issue only, and not have other crap piggy-backed onto it. It's situations like this where a Senator might be compelled to vote against an otherwise decent spending bill because a human rights issue is nailed onto the tail end of it.

Oooh, this just pisses me off.

My journal name is “A Train Wreck Waiting to Happen” because sometimes I feel that way. Plus, I really dig the Sarah Mclachlan song.

My journal title and subtitle is a line from an XTC song called “Merely a Man” from their album “Oranges and Lemons”. I just like the line. You’ll see that’s what drives my titles and names. Whimsey.

My friends page is called “Purveyors of Beauty and Light” because I’m giving you folks the benefit of the doubt. Truly, y’all live up to that often enough to warrant the title.

My username is weaktwos because I used to play Bridge quite frequently, and that is my favorite Bridge question. Unless you’re truly interested in learning how bridge is played, don’t ask.

My default icon my mug in various configurations, but that is always subject to --that’s right!— my whimsey.
