Free Sarah Palin!

CNN News Brief interrupted All My (Grand)Children yesterday. Shocking developments.
Clip Number Ten: In Which It Is Revealed that Our Heroine Is a Delicate Flower, Held Against Her Will by Her Guardian’s Boorish Minions

(Sorry for the low quality. The Huffington Post has a better clip, but you can’t embed it. Thanks You Tube for liberating the [...]

Words Escape Me

But wait, it gets better.
Please tell me that I’m not crazy: Henry is doing everything in his power not to look at those lovely ankles. Is this meeting about world diplomacy or calves? By the look of things, I’m going with calves.

Joe Addresses the Ladies!

OK, I’ll admit it–I’m obsessed. The Familiar Stranger has swept me off my feet! And I’m beginning to wonder if there are other ladies like me out there. Ladies who yearn to hear sweet nothings in their ears. Sweet nothings that LAY THE HAMMER ON GRANDPA McANGRYPANTS, for example.
The Familiar Stranger arrives in town. At [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Are You Ready for Some Football?

Because I’m powerless over Daily Kos and my life has become unmanageable, I went over and checked the site earlier this afternoon. And guess what, K Street Prophet had posted another fantastic diary about Joe.
Plus, there’s video of Joe at the Pro Football Hall of Fame!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you; this guy is [...]

Stranger Danger

I think it’s safe to say that I’m in love with Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is so awesome, just reading what he said yesterday makes me want to tell all seven of my faithful readers about him. For example:
“John McCain says he wants to spend another $130 billion this year to give tax breaks to people [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen

Could it be, that while the media whipped us into a frenzy over All My (Grand)Children, there was a better show on a different network? Could it be that some in the media are changing the channel? Instead of asking, “Where is Joe Biden?” (last week’s popular refrain), perhaps they should be wondering, “Why aren’t [...]

Aftermath Ike

There are days when even I can understand why Sarah Palin believes she’s qualified to be vice president. They come when I foresee a situation and think of strategies for dealing with it, even though the situation remains hypothetical. Some people call this process “planning.”
Today, Aftermath Ike hit Texas. And part of me wanted to [...]

It’s an Oldie but a Goodie

Apparently, the girl just can’t help it. There you go, again.
Today, on All My (Grand)Children:
Clip Number Seven: In Which Our Heroine Demonstrates Her Debt to Borscht Belt Comedians

Mr. Clean

You know what’s really great about the Meltdown on Wall Street? It gives Grandpa McAngrypants something else to clean up. Having another mess, one with global consequences and triggers we really can’t predict, since the people of the Earth (which is what I think I’ll start calling the reality based community) have never been able [...]

And Now a News Update: Sisters to the North Jumpstart Hope (Film at 11)

It’s been a strange weekend, with Ike hitting Galveston and Houston. 4 million people without power just a couple of hours away and all of us here in Austin feeling strangely irritated because, in the middle of a terrible drought, we got zero rain. But zero hurricane was a blessing. So, God must be looking [...]
