    Palin Sez: Obama EVUL! EVUL! EVUL BAD MANS!

    Oh, for the love of Mike, what a maroon moomom moran #Palin is. Evil image of black cat evilly ganked from OneUtah, a blog you should read. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sarah Palin: Obama’s healthcare ‘evil’: The Swamp After a brief respite from Twritter and all the rest, the early-self-retired-resigned-withdrawn-bowed-out governor of Alaska has returned to Facebook. With fire: Calling President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform “downright evil.” “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’…

    Tempestuous Teapot: Never Mind! No Reciprocal Border Crossing Planned

    As you were. #episcopalian #anglican #kerfuffle PRELUDIUM: Bp. Anderson paranoia a copy-cat caper. Bishop David Anderson let loose with a dozy of a conspiracy theory last week. I reported on it HERE. It turns out the theory was lifted from a though piece by The Rev’d Geoffrey M. St.J. Hoare, the rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. That essay was picked up by Jonathan Wynne-Jones in an article titled, “Americans planning to start a civil war in the Church of England.” The thread was in turn picked up by Episcopal Cafe in “One plus one equals six…

    Gateway… Open for Now

    Bought a brand new Gateway, struggling to get used to Vista… hope this wasn’t a mistake. Gateway SX2800-01 – CNET TV Oh, well, maybe this was one of those impulse buys, even though C/NET really liked it and picked it for a recent Editor’s Choice award. My previous desktop computer (the one Riley liked to sleep on) would no longer boot up and since there’s a Tiger Direct/CompUSA nearby, it was decided (yay) that I would have a new computer rather than settle for replacing the old CPU and soldiering on with the previous system (which was made up out…

    Glen Beck Clueless About How Washington Uses Emergencies

    He forgot those 19 lunatics that ruined everything (democracy, civil rights, privacy, 2 wars) because the Bush administration didn’t pass on using 9/11 for its own ends. Glenn Beck pleads with his audience not to resort to violence: “Just one lunatic like Timothy McVeigh could ruin everything” | Crooks and Liars These people in Washington have no idea what they have done. They have wakened a sleeping giant. But just one lunatic like Timothy McVeigh could ruin everything that everyone has worked so hard for, because these people in Washington won’t pass up the use of an emergency.

    Further Ructions in Episcopalian/Anglican World Likely And Desireable

    Maybe it’s time to turn the tables on the conservatives and agitate from within the English church for inclusion, just as the exclusivists did in the American church. So there. Mad Priest put me on to this story, it’s all his fault. Ruth Gledhill of The Times (THE Times, of London, you know) reports that UK “pro-gays” are going to take a survey of all LGBT clergy in London, Southwark, and everywhere in the Anglican church in England. It’s an old joke that there are many, many gay and lesbian priests, who serve with the tacit approval of their bishops…

    Happy Cat Loves Teh Litterbox Naow

    @MrRileycat_Esq didn’t like the highly scented “major label” cat litter I used, apparently. He had Issues. We had a Serious Problem. Solved it with Dr Elsey’s Precious Cat line of cat litters. Precious Cat Litters – Quality Cat Litter Dr Elsey offers several different options: there’s the Cat Attract stuff, which is pricier, and there’s the regular Precious Cat Classic and Ultra litters, plus specialty ones for kittens and long-haired cats. He also sells these “litter attractant” herbs but so far I haven’t felt the need to get them. Over nine million cats suffer from litter box aversion. It’s a…
