Just before the savior of the American Family took office there was a controversial drug poised to go “over the counter,” with the qualification that a doctor’s consent would be required for a minor to purchase the drug. In other words, an adult could purchase the drug but a minor would need a prescription. Then a new man was picked to head up the FDA, and the work to go forward…
Friends, today was a hurricane day. Those of you familiar with snow know a thing or two about the occasional labor liberation, courtesy of Mother Nature. My employer was in classic form yesterday, closing the office at 3p.m. – after the worst of the weather had passed. At 3 p.m. Monday, the center of Alberto’s circulation (such as it was) had passed our office, which means I got to…
Did anyone catch the Prez on the radio this weekend? Gentlemen, start your hyperbole!
Actually, I think the conservatives may be on to something. Maybe marriage really does need protecting. Think of the scores of men out there that might not have married their current spouses if they had the option of marrying another man. It boggles the mind.
Wait, you mean to tell me you can’t think of…
A long time ago there was a family destined for great things. The father, mother, and younger son held great promise. The older son was a friendly sort, but not quite as sharp as the others. He tried hard but could never quite measure up… until he grew up and a little luck went his way… placing him in a role of great importance: the guardian of his kind.
“Look at those guys over…
Dude! I totally forgot to publish this entry! (Here it is, as originally conceived and typed in the A.M. of 5/26)
The news this morning reports that 43 regrets using phrases like “bring it on,” when addressing the insurgents in Iraq (albeit indirectly, via news conference). Apparently the leader of the free world believes he was misinterpreted. I can see how someone might misinterpret…
The Prez gave a talk last night. Dude! He was down with immigration and border security. Many of the things he said sounded reasonable. From what I’ve heard (not just from the speech) the border guard is stretched thin. A stop gap of 6000 National guardsmen would come in handy. A rotation of 6k guardsmen is not an undue burden on a force 400k strong. The threat of smuggling across our…
I was surprised, but not in a good way, to hear that some conservatives might play the gay card again this election season. I am angry about this development on so many different levels, I don’t quite know where to begin, but I’m just cynical enough to fear it might work.
I’m angry because for most of us, it is a small issue. For myself and for the heterosexual masses out there…
In the twelve or so years that I’ve been paying attention, the Florida Legislature has not once increased the reimbursement rates for travel related expenses (of state employees, on state business). That is, until this year. One of the biggest increases is the reimbursement for meals – which doubled (Senate Bill 428, Govenor’s signature pending). Coincidentally, this is the year…
To my boss, if he’s out there right now…
I think I might be a little late tomorrow after all. Reality is going to take at least another 30 minutes to catch up, then probably another hour to calm down. That should put me somewhere around one, one-thirty or so. That’s only about, oh… four hours past my bedtime.
On second thought, I’ll just stop by Starbucks and pick up…
