Pantheacon Day 1
This weekend is the annual Pantheacon conference. It's a wonderful festival that celebrates all the different pagan walks of life -- wicca, druid, Celt, shaman, faerie, and dozens of others that I can't seem to identify on this little sleep.
Yesterday I began with Joseph Ernest Martin, the creator of the Quest Tarot deck. It was much more ( Read more... ) -
So I guess we've taken care of everything else...
Congress clearly has resolved America's healthcare crisis, budget deficit, the lingering aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (yes, there are still people who are homeless after that), and poverty in general.

Into the Shallow End of the Pool
I really am disappointed that the Giants won the Super Bowl for a number of reasons.- 1. I don't like the Giants. Never really have. Then again, I've been a 49er fan since I was in kindergarten.
2. I don't like what Eli Manning seems to have stood for: spoiled juvenile behavior that relies on the good name of his older brother, with a healthy dose of ( Read more... ) -
Don't we have anything better to do?
Yesterday, on the last workday before the Super Bowl, republican senator Arlen Specter wants to know why the notes and videotapes linked to the New England Patriots' cheating scandal were destroyed.
Give me a break!We're facing an economic meltdown. Young men are dying "for their country" halfway around the world. More than one billion people ( Read more... )
