Fueled on by the slightest of input, I will now wax eloquent...well, I'll think aloud some more on the topic of submission. When I was folk dancing, I was a vital part of the male/female dance unit. The pair flies...
Observing President Bush in action lately, we have to wonder if he actually watched the election returns in November, or if he was just rerunning the 2002 vote on his TiVo. That year, the White House used the fear of...
In November of 2006, after an October upsurge in violence in Iraq, the American people moved decisively to reject Republican rule, principally because of the conduct of the war. Democratic leaders well understand we regained control of the Congress because...
How can progressives best grab the momentum from the November elections to promote bold initiatives to end illegal war, fight poverty and inequality, and rein in the corporations that are destroying our democracy? Congressional oversight hearings could be one critical...
Well, the weekend's adventure extended into my Monday, but is now complete. DH and I went to another auction yesterday, this time dragging some friends along with us. The auction started at one, but we got there a little early...
The elections of 2006 were a great victory for hope. Unfortunately, the Democrats may once again undermine this moment of hope and the result will be a return to the cynicism and despair that have paralyzed so many...
Pretty warm. I drove by a church today and its hillside was absolutely covered in daffodils. A little way down the road, I saw some forsythia blossoms. If it ever does get cold, will these precocious bloomers be ok? ...
Fuller loves to play with sunglasses now. I prefer him not to use mine for entertainment, but apparently his own sunglasses were not to be found. My sunglasses are in the category of "fitover." This means they fit over my...
Americans owe a debt to former President Jimmy Carter for speaking long hidden but vital truths. His book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid breaks the taboo barring criticism in the United States of Israel's discriminatory treatment of Palestinians. Our government's tacit...
today was a beautiful sunny day at the foundry. i snapped these while waiting for my guide to take me away from all of this annoying light and into the basement under the underworld. literally. as we descended the 20...

The United States will never win the "war on terror," in part, because George W. Bush keeps applying elastic definitions to the enemy, most recently expanding the conflict into a war against Muslim "radicals and extremists."...
Well this is a happy day, the text doesn't show up on my blog, only the title of my posts. Everything has been defaulted to the color white and I cannot change the colors with any degree of success. ....
Welcome! My goal in creating this blog is to provide Chattanooga with news, commentary and information generally unavailable through the commercial media. Some of these articles may cause you to feel outraged or sad, but hopefully all will inform and motivate. In the...
Well, Alabama blew that opportunity. They coulda had Bobby Petrino but instead, they (way way) overpaid for Nick Saban. Mark my words, Saban will do no better than win one SEC West crown over the next 4 years. Then, he...
Greetings blogosphere. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Edmund, and I'm a new notebook computer that Girl from the South ordered last week.Why Edmund? Well, it seems that my delightful owner has a habit naming electronics, plants, stuffed...
One of the things I really enjoy about my current full time job is reading and writing about kitchen stuff and food. I found a typo today, but the sentence works even if you don't correct it. "Almost no bread should...
Today the PayPerPost community was in an uproar over PPP's latest puzzle.* I can't participate in the puzzles because I can't spend that amount of time searching for pieces and all of it is pretty much blocked from work. Well, this...
Benjamin was born today (I didn't get the time) and is 5 lbs 2 oz, 17 7/8th inches. He is currently in the NICU due to breathing problems, but Esther and Greg were prepared for that due to Ben joining...
on saturday afternoon I took Rehema to a birthday party at Partyville, Hixson. it played out like this swahili saying (methali) "Kukopa harusi kulipa matanga" which means 'Borrowing is like a wedding ,repaying is like mourning' Taking her...
Opening Gifts Originally uploaded by Kikobiko. Had a little surprise party for D last night at our place. Everyone parked up on Alabama Avenue & shortest route to the house was down...
I am trying to re-do this Blog, because I am using Yahoo Blog and quite frankly, it smells. Everytime I edit, it puts triple spaces inbetween the paragraphs! Yuck. Oh well. I am back at work after missing nearly 2...
'Twas the month after Christmas, When all through the house, Nothing would fit me, Not even a blouse! The cookies I'd nibbled, The eggnog I'd taste... At the holiday parties, Had gone to my waist! I remember the marvelous meals...
"Choose wisely, the decisions are brief, and yet eternal." I thoroughly enjoy this quote. I got it out of a book a long time ago, but I've forgotten which book, so I can't properly give credit and that kind of bothers...
So happy to be back in the District!After a short drive to ATL, a quick trip to IKEA, a 2-hour flight (with one hour spent on the tarmac at ATL), a shuttle, Metro and taxi ride later, I finally arrived...
Protestants are some of the most gluttonous people in America(actually, the world). If the gospel of Redemption is true why doesn't it effect the way Protestants eat? Drunkenness is sinful but what about buffets? Gluttony presents no problem for most. Sad. What's...
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- James Mays wasn't Clemson's first choice to take the game-winning shot. Just the best one. Mays had 16 points, including the game-winning layup with 2.2 seconds to go, as the 23rd-ranked Tigers became the Division I's only...
