Friend in serious need
A link to a friend I've been helping as much as I can. http://www.microgiving.com/profile/Kaos1witch. I got her out of one bad situation, but I do not have the resources on my own to get her out of state. "Friends" who took her in when she lost her home due to skyrocketing health care bills stole most of her property. Now, her husband is in ( Read more... ) -
Something I couldn't post to Facebook because it was too long
I saw a post about Abolishing the Republican Party in my status updates today. I'm not sure it's wise to get rid of any political party, as it might have a chilling effect on freedom of political speech ( Read more... ) -

@NathanFillion re-posted on this image on Twitter. No comments about tweeting, please. I realize it's a vice. I rarely tweet. At least I don't post tweets on here. Generally, I use it to keep up with political news. (Yes, and a few favorite celebrities. Don't give me that look.)

Important enough point on Global Climate Change to post publicly
I think author sums it up completely. His logic is unmistakable. I have almost 16 years of study in logic, including graduate and undergraduate study in the topic. His logic is frighteningly irrefutable. Thanks to gigglingwizard for posting this on his blog. -
More strange political stuff related to Palin
First of all, this is a not a smear of Palin. Rather this has to do with the reasons that McCain might have chosen her as a running mate. I thought about it for awhile, concluding that he was looking for someone in the Republican party who was middle class, successful within the party and in major elections, and looked cute on his arm.

The Bishop and the Three Brothers on the Island
This is a story I learned from Anthony De Mello many years ago. Please forgive any paraphrasing I've done, as I am rewriting it from memory. I read the story from a book lent to be me by one of his disciples years ago.
