I would love to see every congressperson and senator spend a few years without health insurance for themselves or their families. I imagine universal healthcare would become a priority.
Politics has become so mired in back room deals and loopholes and workarounds that no real change is ever going to … More

I am officially firing this week. It sucked. It was hectic. And I’m exhausted. So this week is fired.

So I finally pay attention to this page (have I mentioned everything’s showing up in Courier? Flippin’ Blogger) and wouldn’t you know it, the one thing that didn’t survive?
Hard returns.
And I was initially tempted to fix it (to be fair it’s my fault–I changed some settings around on a lark) … More

You know, with Andre Braugher on House this season I just might watch it.
Pembleton: You’re not Catholic and you took communion?
Bayliss: Yeah. Is that wrong?
Pembleton: If my god wins, you’re screwed.

Okay, so two things before this entire site goes down:
1. I gave Ramona some pain meds this morning and I think she’s having a bad trip. Every time anything moves on my computer screen she gets all excited and intensely stares at it. And now she’s staring the door like … More
On days like these—when I’m overworked and underslept—there is nothing in the world that makes me feel better than Son Volt.
