Transcript of tonight's Republican debate.
MODERATOR: Hi. Here we are again. Let's get right to it and start with Speaker Gingrich. Sir, please don't get mad tonight.
GINGRICH: No.
ROMNEY: Freddie Mac! Resigned in disgrace! I'll release my 2012 taxes after I'm President! (Smarmy laugh.)
PAUL: Why am I here?
SANTORUM: I still hate gay people. And I'm still a huge dick. Look at my sweater vest! Obama's a Muslim!
MODERATOR: Does anyone here have anything of substance to offer?
GINGRICH: I hear Santorum is some sort of substance.
(All laugh. Except Santorum, whose wife runs onto the stage.)
MRS. SANTORUM: Don't pick on my husband! He just hates gay people!
MODERATOR: Security, please escort Mrs. Santorum off the stage.
ROMNEY: I pay Cayman Islands offshore taxes investments Bain Capital, uh, universal healthcare reform no, Obama must go!
PAUL: Why am I here?
SANTORUM: Still with the hating of the gay people. Sweater vests! (Takes off shirt.)
MODERATOR: Thanks all. We're going to commercial and when we come back, I'm going to ask the candidates, "Why even bother?" Stay tuned.

End of the regular season. On to the playoffs/coronation of Green Bay. I just looked in the mirror. My Rose Bowl game face has already made an appearance. Go Ducks!

How Life Changes in Two Years
I was perusing old Tumbls last night. Almost exactly two years ago I said the following: One of my roommates is a pretty fair hand in the kitchen. He found out that I like peach cobbler and made some for me to have when I came home from work. I said, to him:
“If you had breasts and weren’t Republican I would marry you. And they wouldn’t have to be big breasts either.”

His Nomial Oppressiveness
This week the Pope declared war on parents naming babies after celebrities, fruit or popular sports cars. In an address to parents, the less than progressive pontiff pleaded with worshipers to ‘give your children names that are in the Christian calendar’. So Apple, Brooklyn and Ferrari are out, Francisco and Giulia are in.
This creates a conflict for parents who want to name their...

Meh. It’s Sons of Anarchy that has me fired up. Clay has gone completely off the reservation. Mayhem abounds.

stine-key asked: That's because papism and Lutheranism aren't too terribly different. :) Except for the fact that I'm right. ;-)
Even Though Spewing Rhetoric is Easier...
I think being hardcore pro-life activist is absolutely okay. Being a hardcore pro-embryo activist is not. The pro-life mission encompasses all of LIFE. However, abortion is the most immediate danger seen by people with good intentions and so they focus on that rather than the whole mission. Pro-life activism means being anti-death penalty, anti-poverty, anti-abortion, anti-war, and anti-euthanasia...
Ahem...
Magic Shell still rocks hard! That is all.
Brief Synopsis: Fame and Glory
A drama about a singer and the group with which she travels. The group includes her (non-performing) husband and 3 bandmates. The story is set traveling from venue to venue in the Western half of the United States and what happens when the singer gets too close to a fan.
Big Ole' News, For Me Anyway
I finished my debut novel (Fame and Glory) a month or so ago. I got a communication of interest from a publisher yesterday. He is interested in making it a part of his new literature line. Yee to the Haw!

For Jim
In May of 1989, the month I graduated from 8th grade, 17 year old Michael Chang defeated Ivan Lendl in the fourth round of the French Open, a tournament he would go on to win. It was the single most amazing athletic performance I’ve ever seen. Chang, doubled over with…
Harry The Final
First of all let me say that I work part time for ChaCha. Since any of you over the age of 22 are scratching your head right now, ChaCha is a free question answer service available by phone or web. The downside of ChaCha (besides the lousy pay) is that my research into ChaCha answers gave some of the Harry secrets away before I saw the movie. Not that I ever thought that Harry wasn’t...

“I always say how bullied I am, but no one listens. What do I have to do so...”
– 14-year-old JAMES RODEMEYER, in a Facebook posting on September 9; days later, he would commit suicide over anti-gay slurs directed at him at school and on the Internet.
Rodemeyer taped a message four months ago as part of the “It Gets Better Project,” saying, in part, “Love yourself and you’re...

Remember, young people: Michele “repeal Obamacare!” Bachmann would rather you went without insurance. Unless you’re gay, in which case feel free to visit her “doctor” husband, who will pray the gay away.

Potter the Last
I’m going to be seeing Potter the Last next week when my son comes up here from Eugene. In honor of it, though, I changed my wife’s Farmville girl’s look into someone with rigidly straight eyebrows in honor of Emma Watson.

Potter The 6
There almost isn’t enough time in this one for a Harry Potter movie. High School Musical, mercifully sans music, fills in the spaces usually occupied by wretched relatives and wild flights through a sky that is somehow England-y but not quite England.
I learned something about “snogging” during the extended scenes of young adult angst. I was told that snogging was a term...

Potter The Fifth
Just finished The Order of the Phoenix. I have some theories. Voldemort is representative of the dark side that is in us all. Harry, Mother Theresa, me, everyone. Voldemort is the part of me that has, at times, said “I want what will make me happy right now! Damn the consequences!” The part of me that said “F you” to the Husky fan in 1993 when he said “Have a...
