Downtime

I don’t know what it is but I have been having intermittent downtime off and on for a couple of weeks. It is starting to get really irritating and makes me want to bash my head against the monitor, but since lightning took out my flat panel, this is the only one left. Damn it….Read more

Andrea Yates gets off

A jury found Andrea Yates not guilty by reason of insanity. I think everyone knows that she was insane, but shit. She should have to pay some kind of penalty.

I am not particularly prone to paranoia and illusions of shadowy figures running the government, but what would happen if we could find cures for some of the diseases that ail us? What if Diabetes were cured for…Read more
