Gee, an intelligence report just came out that shows that the war in Iraq has increased Islamic extremism and created a new generation of extremists. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations are due
I have proven once again that there is not a piece of clothing alive that I can’t shrink when I wash it. In case you’re wondering. I wanted these pants to become capri length.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight
Muslims are mad at the pope for what he said. Christians are mad at Muslims for what they claim is said on a daily basis around the world about destroying Chritianity. The pope goes off to some country and reads a quote from some 16th century writer that could not be more inflammatory but wants us to believe that somehow he just didn’t get how it would sound. Fundamentalist Christians all but leap with glee at the war in the mideast, sure that this means the end of days is upon us and they are the only ones who will

I was cleaning out my closet
I was cleaning out my closet and found Tom Cruise all the way in the back, cowering. What could that mean? Does he know he’s in my Hall of Fame of Annoying People? Is he afraid the press will find out? Could it be something else?
Hair cuts we remember
When I was little, my Aunt Adeline cut my hair without telling my mother. She was a hairdresser…a very bad one for a little girl. She believed, and who knows where this came from, that if you had thin hair and cut patches of it out, it would grow in thick. My head looked like a checkerboard when my mother came to pick me up. She brought me to my dad’s barber who said the only thing he could do was to shave it all off. And so he did. We have a great video of me as a cowgirl
The birds are leaving
I remember going down a river in China back in 1983 and turning to my sister and saying, “What’s missing here?” Something seemed odd or wrong.
It took a few minutes for me to figure it out. There were no birds flying, no sounds echoing from their songs and conversations. It was eerily silent. Unfortunately, the birds came later on a plate. Little song birds roasted whole and eaten whole, bones and all. My sister spent a lot of time in China being a vegetarian.
The kind of silence I found on that river in China is a large part
The pope is sorry?
The pope has “sincere regrets” about the remarks he made that seemed to insult Islam? How about having sincere regrets for all the lives lost because he leads a church that considers condoms a way to hell in a world of AIDS?
No, really, I don’t have an eating disorder
I buy two packages of sugar free hard candy to suck on in my office on those days when life just deserves a good suck. I buy Werther’s Originals and Lifesavers. I know I like the former. I’m trying the latter for the first time.
I put the Lifesavers out and taste one. I don’t like them half as much as I like the others. But I’ve already put them out in the dish. And I paid for them. And if I don’t eat them first and now, I’ll end up never eating them and they’ll be wasted. So I
How pathetic is this?
When I play bridge on my computer, I rotate all the little computer generated players so no one’s feelings will be hurt and everyone gets a chance to play.
