Mark Morford explains why We Are All Dubya’s Doormat: The truth will soon be hitting much of the conservative nation like a redneck smacks a dog: now that the fear-saturated Right has handed this failed oilman four more unrestrained years to do his dirtiest deeds and a deeply contaminated, well-greased Congress to do it with, […]

Comment Registration

A couple months ago I integrated TypeKey comment registration into my site. At the time, it was optional. Now it is required. You see, no comment spam gets through and actually shows up on my site, but I’m tired of email after email notifying me of all the morons who try to use my blog […]

First Snow
Tuesday, November 9th, 2004 · Comments Off on First Snow
Yesterday afternoon shortly after 2pm I peered out my window with sheer delight as the first white flakes of wonder came floating down from the sky. It was short yet furious and the thermometer showed only 40, so nothing stuck to the ground just yet. Nevertheless, I called Jen at work and left her an […]

Non-Stop Weekend
Monday, November 8th, 2004 · Comments Off on Non-Stop Weekend
As if to make up for last weekend’s sitting around and doing nothing, Jen and I went all out this weekend. Friday night we went out on the town with Justin and Seth. We hit the usual spots: DA’s, the Wine Bar, Tin and Lint. Ended up at Joe’s house for a bit before heading […]

Waking up and seeing the ground blanketed in white for the first time of the season is one of the most magical, invigorating feelings. That moment should come along any day now. In fact, yesterday afternoon we had some slush, and snow overnight was possible, so I excitedly peeked out the window this morning in […]

An awesome post I saw today: Ladies and gentlemen, you needn’t fret anymore. We have decided that we can’t live in the United States anymore, because so many of you in the “heartland” are so full of shit. We were all going to move to various other countries, but then we thought – why should […]

Celebrate Life, Not Politics

The instant messages from fellow blue state friends in both coasts began to flow in shortly after 10am Eastern Time yesterday morning, around the time Kerry announced that the math in Ohio just wouldn’t work and he was going to concede the election to Bush. We were all depressed. There wasn’t much we could say […]

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004 · Comments Off on 252-254
Another election year, another Election Day gone by without knowing the results and who will be President of the United States for the next four years. I watched the coverage until 2am last night/this morning, then woke up full of energy at 7am today, eager to see if Kerry’s been holding on in Ohio. And […]

Vote

Vote. At our small-town polling place this morning, Jen was Voter #95. I was Voter #96. And it’s only 8am. The polls opened at 6am. Voters #97 through 100 were waiting in line while I voted. That’s 50 voters per hour in the first two hours of voting. That’s 2.5 votes per minute. And this […]
