So Senators Donny Olson and Ralph Samuels want a law requiring parental notification in cases of abortions requested by girls 16 years of age or younger. Specifically, they state, “We believe a law needs to be enacted that will protect the interest of parents, and also to ensure that teenage girls receive wise parental counsel and support at a time when it is most desperately needed.”

The problem, as I see it, is in the words “wise parental counsel”. While we might wish that all children in this state are being raised by parents who can offer that kind of

Well, I finally got the tiara back in the box until the Oscars or Screen Actors Guild Awards or whatever dress up show comes next as Hollywood celebrates itself on the off chance we forget to.  And I have this to say.

Cher looks like a full size wind up Cher doll with a face capable of no natural movement. And really, when you are in your sixties and have had enough plastic surgery to look like something Dr. Frankenstein made in his lab, you don’t have to add a black dominatrix dress to the mix. It just makes you

My first day back at Bird TLC since we recaptured Red, our red-tailed hawk who decided to have an adventure last week. I will do my best to not laugh at him and mock him for falling for a falconer’s lure. I’m a nice person that way.

Why did no one ever tell me that a straight shot of tequila tastes like gulping turpentine. Good lord, people. It’s not nice to spring that on an old lady.

There are actual commentators (yes, on Fox) accusing Obama of using the disaster in Haiti to polish his humanitarian credentials by sending aid to that country. I guess Bush was trying to make sure we absolutely knew he wasn’t a humanitarian with his response to Katrina.

Did you ever have one of those weeks where it felt like you were walking through molasses to get from Monday to Friday? Then it’s suddenly Saturday and you wake up and realize the molasses river is still there staring you in the face.

I think there should be some kind of rule that if you pass down a family recipe, you can’t die until the person you passed it to has a chance to try it. It’s only fair that you have to be around to answer the questions that naturally arise such as “What do you mean when it looks right it’s ready to bake?” or “How can I know how much nutmeg to put in until it tastes right if I can’t taste it until AFTER it’s cooked?”

There seems to be concern and anger among pundits that the Underwear Bomber is being given the full protections of our laws and will be tried in a civilian court. I’m actually elated that he’s being treated this way.

For me, this represents one of the single most stinging blows we can deliver to our enemies by demonstrating they have not forced us to our knees and caused us to stoop to their level. We were created as a country of laws and we continue to be so despite their efforts to scare us into chaos.

After 9/11, there was

There is a house along what used to be my usual walking route. It is no longer my usual walking route because this house has multiple dogs who are often roaming freely and are, quite frankly, scary.

So last Sunday as Elaine and I were walking, we looked ahead and saw the meanest dog was loose and already looking our way and barking. We turned around and decided to go a different route. As we retraced our steps, we came upon a gentleman walking his dog. We warned him about the loose dog. He said he knew it quite well.
