As yet another politician faces problems due to his own postings on his own website… in this case, a New York politician who posted pictures of himself nude… I have to ask what the hell is wrong with these people? Are they the stupidest people on earth? Are they the last to get the word that if you post something on the web, someone else is going to see it? Do they honestly believe that what they might consider an attribute will be viewed with enthusiasm and not horror and disgust by the rest of the world?

The power of music and community
I am going to break my vow to never mention Sarah Palin’s name in one of my columns again in order to tell a story that has nothing to do with her political career. Back when Sarah only had mayor of Wasilla and resigned member of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission on her resume, a new program was beginning at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center – a women’s string orchestra, the first of its kind in Alaska and still the only one in the country.

Knowing I could fall face first into the box if I wasn’t careful, I brought the packages upstairs and carefully stashed them in a place I would have to make some effort to retrieve them from in the hope of drawing their pleasure out.
Now if only I could find them again….. damn!
If truth be told
If I was being absolutely honest, I would have to admit that I’ve always preferred animals to people. They are more kind, loving and loyal and almost never want to talk during The Big Bang Theory.
Beds

Most revolutions have one thing in common
Many people who read my column last week felt that I was selectively picking the revolutions that fit my preconceived notion of the problems America faces today. Sure, they said, there was the French Revolution. But what about Cuba and China and Russia? Those revolutions led to communism. And what about South America and Africa where so many revolutions led to despotic rulers?

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven
I was watching Steven Colbert interview a people from the OWS movement and there she was… a person with female body parts named Ketchup.
OMG – my people have returned!
