this is totally unrelated to anything...

...in fact, Fred might boot me for this. but i was given an award by a friend on her blog, (a great blog, by the way, if you want to read about a modern mother raising three children), and i told her i would brag to the hills for the award.

so here it is:



Really, i swear i'm straight.

Lynne Spears' parenting book delayed indefinitely...

your 16 year old is knocked up and your other daughter lost custody of her two kids because she wouldn't stop getting drunk and high....

yea, Lynne Spears, maybe you're probably not really the best person to be writing a book about parenting skills...and apparently Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson, Inc. agrees, since they apparently won't be putting out your book on parenting, oh mother of hapless Britney and pregnant Jamie Lynn...

umm, so why exactly was a Christian book publisher involved here to begin with??

"The Surveillance State"

Glenn Greenwald on the nature of the US spying on its own citizens.

Let's be clear, here, since many people, especially Republicans, continue to spout the Administration talking point that it is only foreigners (i.e., "potential terrorists") calling from overseas who are getting spied upon. This is a lie. Literally millions of records of Americans are being collected for no reason at al (excepting, of course, that the government is paranoid).

I don't want to overstate the problem, but I don't want to understate it either. Truth be told, what the US government is doing right now has parallels in totalitarial societies, and has no place in democratic ones, even ones mistakingly feeling as if they are under attack.

Mike Huckabee's surge

Temporary, IMO, and merely reflecting the understandable disatisfaction the Republicans are having with the candidates, making them cycle through them like a bunch of bad holiday sweaters one is forced to hold up against oneself in the mirror, saying "Maybe I can live with this in public."

This Huckabee parody is pretty good, IMO:

Sorry for the delay...

A college friend of mine *finally* got married, and I took some tme off, Back in the saddle!
