I don’t know about you, but I see the fine hand of Karl Rove in the surfacing of these sexual harassment charges right now. I don’t doubt there were allegations, nor do I doubt that Cain’s employer at the time paid settlement money to make the charges go away, but I doubt if the Obama …
No, not mine (soon, though). My sister’s. In her honor we’re having lamb chops, potatoes and spinach. To prepare I’ve washed, dried and folded two loads of laundry and emptied the dishwasher of the load I ran last night. I wonder if the birthday girl will take over the cooking chores? Nah, probably not.
When Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web, do you suppose he ever imagined there would be a website named PerfectMeatLoaf.com? Why, yes, I do watch the CBS Evening News. Why do you ask?
I’m not exactly bitter about the Cardinals beating the Rangers since neither one is my team, but all throughout the series I kept saying “You can’t keep walking guys like this” to Rangers pitchers on my TV screen.

Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups water 2 …
As Charlie Pierce says: The actions of the police department in Oakland last night were a military assault on a legitimate political demonstration. That it was a milder military assault than it could have been, which is to say it wasn’t a massacre, is very much beside the point. There was no possible provocation that …
I went up to the doc’s office to get a flu shot today. While she was out sick, her nurse looked at my records and said “hey, the labs are still on order. Go over there after we’re done here.” Right. Four test tubes of blood, gone. I feel weak.
I had to make a trip downtown to the Bishop Museum to pick up a book for Mom today. Titled Holophusicon The Leverian Museum, it’s the story of the world’s first popular museum of science, curiosity and art — going back to 1771. Its contents included the largest collection of Cook-voyage specimens and objects ever …
