Bristol Palin is returning to Dancing with the Stars. My world is now complete.
I think I may just have to go to bed, pull the covers over my head, and sob softly.
Civilization as we know it is crumbling before us.
Please, oh please….

Guns and drugs
The recent massacre in Colorado will inevitably re-ignite the debate over guns in America. While few dispute the right to own guns, the argument over what kind of guns, how many and whether anyone really needs 10,000 rounds of ammunition for a semi-automatic will continue for years.
Guns, as the NRA so often intones, do not kill people. People kill people. And they will do it with anything handy. If you take their guns, they will use knives. If you take their knives, they will use bricks or sticks or fists or bombs. If someone wants to kill, they will

I met Carl Cassell this week. I win.
I will never not fear Sister Gaetana
I went out for about ten minutes. When I returned Carm acted as though I’d been gone for hours. I hugged him and told him that I’d always return for as long as god allowed me to and then added that was assuming she (god) really gave a crap whether I got back or not. But I didn’t say crap.

The elephant invariably landed on top of her. She would stand up and stare at it for a moment as if wondering why the elephant had attacked her. Then she would pick it back up – no small feat in and of itself given their relative sizes – and start up the stairs again, only to tumble backwards around stair five.

Hard to maintain your dignity
A very big dog decided to come up and say hi to my two very little dogs. He stuck his snout right were dogs like to stick their snouts. My BuddhaBubba is built so close to the ground that to get his nose under her for a good sniff, he literally lifted her butt in the air with his nose. And there she stood, two front paws on the ground, butt sticking up in the air, two back paws dangling in the wind, with a dog’s nose making a very thorough inspection. And at no point at all did she
I’m torn
On the one hand, I like cold weather. On the other hand, I could do without the rain. Why do they always have to come together for an Anchorage summer?
