Alex (the boyfriend) and I went on a most enjoyable jaunt to Johnson City this weekend to see some friends of ours who recently moved up there. We spent a good bit of time in nearby Jonesborough, where the annual...
The tide shifted some time ago, but now the swell rises to heights that should have been, in my opinion, a starting point. Being against this war should not have ever been relegated to DailyKos and MoveOn.org, because the...
Only in red-black can you write with light, capture a thought and release in through light, time, and temperature on Ilford Deluxe Pearl, 8 by 10. Under baths of dektolstopfixwater, visions appearing first ghostly gain definition. Don't rush, soon enough,...

I don’t believe in God. I do, however, believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), an invisible and undetectable being who resembles spaghetti and meatballs and created the world. I am a devout Pastafarian. http://www.sarahcarey.ie/2006/10/08/gospel-of-spaghetti-monster/ ...
for those of you who were made to be lost by the previous post, here's a bit of backgroud. LOLcats provided the original impetus, which was then translated into a theological vein by crafty folk. ahm in your blogsphere, confusin...
Thanks to Jesus21.com for this... Limbo, the Catholic answer to where unbaptized babies go when they die, has gone the way of other antiquated notions such as geocentrism, the belief that the sun and all the planets revolve around the earth. A...
There is a new epidemic sweeping across America. It started in Florida along the I-95 a few years ago and is now moving across the nation. This epidemic is God's billboards. We have all seen them in one shape or another...
Update: Here's a pretty good review of the iPhone. The gist of it is that the iPhone is soooo freakin cool that you'll forget about the bad things and so what, the iPhone can't do everything, but what phone does...
Stuart James is Host of Free Speech America, Thursdays at 7pm on WGOW 102.3 Ann Coulter is a conservative political author and television personality. I could not believe my ears when I heard (on ABC News ) Ann Coulter compare...
For the perhaps two people who read this who aren't on Facebook or haven't friended me there, I'm uploading pictures of my London trip as I go. They'll all be available here. In related news, if you're in the market...
DH and I went out last night for our anniversary (if you're wondering, our marriage is old enough to drink in the US, but not old enough to serve in the US House of Representatives). We had dinner at St....
