Harry to the Vatican: “Oh, just shut up.”

July 31st, 2003

The Vatican has released a document regarding homosexual marriage, and how homosexuals should be opposed by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, the world over. Of particular interest is the notion that homosexual couples raising children are “doing violence” to the children by raising them in a homosexual household, depriving them of a parent of a particular [...]


You think you are creative…

Mona: Draw, Daddy. (hands me the Magna-Doodle) Me: What do you want me to draw? Mona: Draw a dinosaur and a princess! Me: OK. (draws dinosaur and princess) Mona: Draw a dress on the dinosaur! Me: You’re weird. (draws a dress over the T-Rex) Mona: Thank you, Daddy.


Baseball thoughts

July 19th, 2003

This blog is usually about living the Life of Teasley, or about how much I hate the American political scene and Bush specifically, but today, I have some rambling baseball thoughts. One, Bud Selig is the worst thing that has ever happened to the game, aside from perhaps Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis’ lifetime barring of [...]


Want to know what keeps me awake at night?

Dubya can’t be blamed for the recession, because that’s just chickens coming home to roost after the freak show of the 90s, but he can be blamed for a projected deficit of $455 billion instead of a much more modest deficit what with his giant tax cut for the wealthiest in the country. So he’s [...]


Hands up, those of you who saw this coming

July 15th, 2003

Yeah, we all look like goddamned Lady Liberty now. This story is the one the Democrats predicted a long time ago, back when cutting taxes for the rich was the hep thing to do. It’s also the prediction that they joined with the Republicans in ignoring when taking the country to war in Iraq. Politicians [...]


I typically don’t mention /. stories…

July 14th, 2003

…mostly because I figure if you read Slashdot, you’ve read it, and if you don’t read Slashdot, then you probably couldn’t care less. But this thread over at DSLReports.com got slashdotted, and it’s just very nice to read. It’s about the guys at DSLReports.com getting the anti-spam forum spammed, and them tracking the spammer down. [...]


When did we sink this low?

July 14th, 2003

The president defends the CIA that he’s recently ordered to fall on its sword to save him, by declaring their output “darn good”. I just can’t help but dwell on the fact that our president can’t talk. Meanwhile, it doesn’t look good on the WMD hunt. Of course, it seems (as it always does) that [...]


I give you the Leader of the Free World

July 11th, 2003

This video shows that Bush is the ultimate empty suit. He’s told, “A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack,” and he sits there for five full minutes with the kids, and reportedly several more minutes after the video ends mingling with folks and shaking hands. For all he knew, war had [...]


Pix of the kids

July 9th, 2003

Below are some recent pictures of the girls, goofy little things that they are. Isabel has just started summer school, and is much happier again: she gets bored without school to go to and things to do outside the house. Mona has started swimming lessons, which she loves with the firey passion of a thousand [...]


Like Bobbing For Dog Turds In A Chum Bucket

July 8th, 2003

Michael Savage, noted waste of otherwise useful food and oxygen, has been let go by MSNBC for telling a gay caller, “to get AIDS and die.” I am compelled to point out how completely fatuous this move is by MSNBC: there was ample evidence that he was a vile spewer of hate and lies well [...]
