Thanks to Sam for pointing out the superb “iMyself and me” site. If you own an iPod, or suffer from iPod envy, then this site will be all “wow.”
Maureen Dowd is one of my favorite columnists for the New York Times. Her column in today’s edition is priceless, and sums up how I feel about BushCo. NY Times: DeLay, Deny and Demagogue
For those who don’t know me, let me explain why I have an extreme aversion to theocracy. I was born and raised in Utah. For those who aren’t familiar with Utah’s modern origins (the Natvie American tribes having had a longer history than what is relevant to this story), it was settled in 1847 by …
