Vote for Proposition Five – everyone deserves equal rights. Religion is protected by this ordinance but Jerry would have you deny the same protection to others. Don’t let his hate win.
Photo Booth
I have this icon at the bottom of my computer screen called Photo Booth. It sits next to my Word icon. Every once in a while, I accidentally click on it rather than the Word icon. Seconds later I am staring at an old lady with a waddled neck on my computer screen. It’s takes a fraction of a second for it to register that the old lady is me.
Dear god is that depressing! I can’t hit the quit button quickly enough to not first recoil in horror.
As that wise woman once said, growing old is not for
MIchelle Obama
Saw Michelle Obama on the Letterman show earlier this week. The more I think about it, the more I want to be just like her when I grow up.
Here’s the wonderful thing about animal people
When you lose one of your pets, they send amazing cards of love and sympathy that fill a real need because the hole in your heart is so large that only other animal people can possibly understand.
Thank you Mark and Elaine. Thank you College Village Animal Clinic. Thank you Peter. Thank you Friends of Pets. Thank you Karie. You all were part of Blondie’s life and gave her all the love and tummy massages any dog could ever want.
Blondie is gone, but not forgotten. And now she sits on a shelf in my house next to her buddy
It’s a simple matter of human rights
I grew up in a world of “confirmed bachelors” and “spinsters”. While some of those people might truly have been no more nor less than that, for many those titles were the closet in which they hid their true identity from the world. They had to hide. They were gay. They were gay at a time when openly expressing their love to their partner could land them a jail sentence or cause them to lose their job or housing.
That all started to change in the 1960s when the gay community and their transgendered brethren decided to stand up for
I can’t believe I’m saying this
But the current crop of GOP presidential candidates actually makes one long for the days of Dubya 2 who, by comparison, seems almost reasonable.
How convenient
According to a column in Sunday’s ADN, you have to vote no on Prop 5 (providing gay, lesbian and transgendered persons in Anchorage with the same equal rights as all others enjoy) because Jesus defined marriage as between a man and a woman. Yet in that same quote Jesus says that what god hath joined together, let no man put asunder. So how come all these Christian churches allow divorce? Or do they just follow the parts of Jesus’ teachings that they find convenient to their already preconceived prejudices?

OK, I can see where counseling might be helpful
I geared up all my strength, clenched my teeth tightly and stormed the bastions of our mercantile world – i.e. Kohl’s and JCP – in my every other year, do or die, all my clothes are now rags, shopping trip. As I looked at the faces of the others in the store and realized none of them looked like they wanted to burst into tears as I did, nor did any look like their faces were quite as grim as mine, it occurred to me that perhaps, just perhaps, this problem I have with shopping goes a bit deeper than
My idea of the ideal Republican candidate debate
Sit Rick, Newt and Mitt down in a room and feed each of them two pot brownies. Wait 60 minutes. Let the debate begin.
