Our cat Riley has been diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and we’re about to embark on “the new normal” with him. He seems fine but his weight is down since last year and his white blood cell count was high, so our vet Dr Esbenson of Arlington Cat Clinic sent a sample on to the feline oncologist. So in a small scale we’re experiencing some of the fear and uncertainty that anyone with a cancer diagnosis faces. It’s the chronic form, slow to develop, and depending on how this chemotherapy and steroids regimen works out, he could be happy and…

Big WIN for WN on this story – it’s a terribly sad story, but this pilot’s exemplary actions make it easier to take. My condolences to Mr. Dickinson and his family. CNN — Time was running out, and Mark Dickinson wasn’t sure whether he’d get to see his dying 2-year-old grandson one last time. A long line at Los Angeles International Airport’s security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time. His grandson Caden would be taken off life support in a matter of hours in Denver, Colorado, with or without his grandfather’s presence, according to CNN…

Ooooh. A worthy topic, will enjoy following this. In the world of science fiction TV, Babylon 5 is generally considered the first of the modern* story-arc series. It’s a genuine departure from the “Wagon Train to the Stars†paradigm that Old Trek created. I don’t think we’d have had Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the Battlestar Galactica reboot without it and Deep Space Nine to convince the studios that genre audiences had long attention spans and an appetite for moral complexity. For me personally, Bab 5 was the the TV series of my mid-twenties. I watched it as I settled…

http://whiskeyfire.typepad.com/whiskey_fire/2011/01/try-to-be-nice-and-look-what-it-gets-you.HTML Yes, wingnut rhetoric is dangerous and irresponsible and loony. But worrying about whether or not wingnut rhetoric is responsible for the Tucson nutjob, well, that’s like worrying about shutting the barn door after the horse has been shot and fucked and sold for glue. Surely: this shooting was horrific. But then, wingnut rhetoric has directly led to mind-boggling numbers of deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan; it’s ruined the American economy; it’s made torture routine; it has succeeded in preventing the nation from taking effective action to prevent environmental catastrophe.

Guns and violence are proven ratings winners in the news and at the movies. As it happens, I saw “True Grit” Saturday while the Tucson shooting news was still developing. It’s a great movie, with lots of guns and violence. I’ve often wondered why we find fictional violence, and real violence, so compelling. Why does a crowd gather at a schoolyard fight? Why do people watch wrestling? And yet, when Rooster Cogburn hollers “Fill yore hand!” it’s a thrill, I can’t deny it. Box Office Mojo: True Grit True Grit claimed the top spot, ending the reign of Little Fockers…

Unfortunately, we didn’t do anything at St Nicks to mark this, as the energy at the time the Renk partnerships were starting was around keeping our own programs (and doors) open. This was all pre-merger with Holy Innocents and we all had other things on our minds. Note at the bottom, Manya Breachear never fails to mention Teh Gay Bishop controversy. When Bishop Katharine visited St Nick’s in 2007, she was asked ONE question about gay clergy, and it was picked up by the Trib and the other papers and made headlines all over. For nine years, Episcopalians in Chicago…

Warning: Subject to New Politically Correct Language Police Censorship (3) Even the sports metaphors, in response to criticism of the crosshairs graphic, are about war, weapons, and violence.
