Sore Loser

Joe Lieberman got his walking papers from the Connecticut Democratic Party but is intent on making sure the fellow who defeated him loses to the Republicans by running as an Independent. And this man was Gore’s choice for Vice President? Damn selfish if you ask me and that’s reason enough to throw him out.
Presence of an Absence
Posted on August 8, 2006 in Grief Milestones
I want to pick up the phone, dial her number, and say to her “What’s this death thing you’re on about? “

Do you mean to say that I am not taking lithium now for bipolar disorder?
Teen Sex and Suggestiveness
Posted on August 7, 2006 in Sexuality
Check this amusing blog riposte on the issue of whether suggestive pop lyrics causes teens to have sex. Now why don’t they investigate the sin of greed which is so much more commonly committed and mentioned in the Bible? Oh yes, they’ve been doing them as marketing surveys. And I, too, buy what they dangle in front of me.
Mark Twain!

Fall 2006 Predictions.
Posted on August 7, 2006 in Campaign 2006
I predict that the Democrats will win the election by a wide margin.
I predict that it will be brazenly stolen by the Republicans who fear investigation and impeachment.
I predict that the newspapers and other media will blame it on bloggers’ high expectations and faulty polls.
What I hope is that this time we’ll stand up and force a recount. If the evidence is destroyed, this could get interesting.
The Latest Blogging Scheme
Posted on August 7, 2006 in Blogging Strange
There seems to be a new trick that some bloggers are using to get traffic: they post the URL of your site on their blog for long enough for a search engine to turn it up and for WordPress to catch it to put up in your Dashboard. By the time you get around to checking their blog, the link is gone.
I suppose the idea is to trick you into thinking that they’ve linked you for good. Unfortunately, bubbies, it doesn’t work. I don’t care about your right wrong wing politics and I don’t care about fox terriers either. No respectful, topical link: no link back from here.

What can we see when we’re close to death other than life and its complications?
