Waterboarding … six times a day for a month. That’s the lasting legacy of the Bush/Cheney adiministration, as the snow of our long winter of discontent melts away and all manner of new info seeps and oozes out disgustingly. It’s what many of us thought was happening. No, actually worse. But the lying skunks are [...]
Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
Spoken like a true Phillies phan, I know.
There’s lots of news this morning on the Boston Breakers front, starting with the fact that an agreement has been reached between the Boston Aztecs and the Boston Breakers. Under the agreement the Aztecs will become the reserve team of the Breakers. Seems like a positive [...]
Fingers crossed here for another good NFL day for the bird teams. The Ravens I had with a win. But the Cardinals? Wow. I just hope they didn’t steal the Eagles’ mojo. (Nah … an unworthy thought to be having this snowy NH Sunday.) If Ravens can bring down Titans, certainly Eagles can bring down [...]
Today’s the day that the Philadelphia Eagles take their next step toward their first Superbowl win!
How’s them apples? Cocky, eh? Well, as I see it the Eagles are poised to join the Phillies with a championship … and Philly is poised to join Boston as a recent multi-championship town. Won’t that be something, the Biddles [...]
What can I say? Bah Humbug, maybe? The Compassionate Conservative took back one of his pardons yesterday to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Who knows what’s really going on with all that … all I can see is yet another example of the sloppiness and ineptitude of this administration. Still counting the days here.
And the [...]
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
Lots to write about today … and let me start with what’s been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency. I keep thinking, “What if this really is an emergency? Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation. [...]
I’m home and still catching up, so this will be brief. We’re undergoing an audit by the State of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week. (As Princess Sparkle Pony would say … “Yay!”).
On the actual, honest-to-goodness YAY front, I see that the Phillies won (again) over the Braves, [...]
Another emergency lands at the feet of Congress and the taxpayers … born under the watch of this current administration. Explain again just why we should trust a plan submitted by them? I’m not saying do nothing, but sure hope Congress puts the brakes on ‘em. Paul Krugman offers an interesting commentary in the Times.
I [...]
This story about the sad death of a medic who served in Iraq and became an iconic figure after his photo hit the news should be considered emblematic in a new way, now.
Joseph Patrick Dwyer, 31, died of an apparent overdose in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. After breaking down the door [...]
I am so discouraged by the perversions of meaning and truth and decency promulgated by this administration that I hardly know where to begin … but here goes. The latest has to do with news of US soldiers proselytizing in Iraq. Clearly the Pentagon and DOD have learned nothing after the push to distribute “Freedom [...]

This sorry story about Dr. Ira Katz’ e-mail cover-up of veterans’ suicide statistics is just disgusting, if true. (And given the track record of this administration, I have to think it’s true. As with the response to Hurricane Katrina … not to mention the Iraq War, someone is profiting and raking in taxpayer dollars … [...]
I was doing a little research on the beautiful nation that’s home to Mount Kilimanjaro … and its president, Jakaya Kikwete … when I came upon this CIA site about Tanzania … which I found at once informative and a little creepy. I’ve added it to my blogroll … but it may not stay all that long. Lord only [...]
