A Wandering Eyre

And the DOPA insanity continues on a state level in Illinois as State Sen. Matt Murphy willfully misunderstands exactly how the Internet works. He has introduced a bill called the Social Networking Website Prohibition Act. Hey, remember that one time we had something with “prohibition” in the title and it turned out that it was [...]

I have been catching up on my podcasts the past couple of days on my drive in. I really only listen to two podcasts, The Signal and Firefly Talk. I am a woman of singular taste. This morning, I listened to a bonus show of Firefly talk during which they replayed Joss’ speech during an [...]

As a Democrat, I am tickled pink this morning. My district, formally known as Tom DeLay’s, will now be represented by Democrat Nick Lampson.

Mr. Rochester and I missed everything but Weekend Update on SNL this past weekend and thus were unfortunate enough to miss the opening sketch. Go and watch it quick before it gets taken down. –Jane, strategery

Laura Mallory of Lawrenceville, GA wants the school district there to take all the Harry Potter books off the shelves because she wants to, …protect children from evil, not fill their minds with it,” Mallory said. “The ‘Harry Potter’ books teach children and adults that witchcraft is OK for children.” When I finished the last [...]

(redo post due to technical issues) Mr. Rochester and I plunked down $41 to obtain a piece of paper that says we can marry any day after April 22, 2006 (good for for thirty days). Defective Yeti has a great idea about marriage: create a Buddy System instead. I completely agree that the reason we [...]

Because these ladies are awesome and because everyone should know what f*%&^$#* loonies we have running the country. Bill Napoli –Jane, Bill Napoli
