    Get Fuzzy is particularly funny today. Sometimes, the payoff is in the second panel, and what happens in the third panel is mostly left to the imagination.

    What Laundry Day Looks Like At Chez Gique

    January 19, 2007 - By ginny

    My husband David did one load. The rest of the mountain of laundry is awaiting us upstairs, in the bedroom/laundry dump. Now that we’re both working out (at sundry health clubs) there’s even more laundry to be done, and critically stinky laundry at that. Cartoon by Dave Walker.

    To The Pillory With Her! But Pay Her Maybe!

    January 14, 2007 - By ginny

    This post is not going to make sense to anyone who doesn’t both have a blog and post photos to Flickr. Several dozen (or hundred, or thousand, or hundred-thousand) people on Flickr are either really ticked off at me, or they know that I’ve been revealed as a completely clueless user of the WordPress plugin, Photo Album. Or both I didn’t configure it right, and through a series of accidents and misunderstandings, people started complaining yesterday in at least two well-traveled and high traffic forums connected to a couple of large photo groups on Flickr. People were yelling for my…

    The End As Beginning: A Trilogy

    January 13, 2007 - By ginny

    Third Coast International Audio Festival // Chicago Public Radio This week we bring you an award-winning world premiere: Rebecca Sheirs The End as Beginning: An Audio Exploration of the Jewish View of Death. The trilogy blends interviews, personal reflections, and music, and focuses on death and the Jewish tradition. The work is an explanation, an illustration, and an investigation all in one — and it balances these elements so beautifully that "Honoring the Body: Taharah" the second segment won the 2006 Third Coast Festival Directors Choice Award. I have experienced some of the things described in Part One as a…

    President Big Hat No Cattle Talks Tough

    January 11, 2007 - By ginny

    NPR : U.S. Detains 6 Iranians in Irbil Raid Bush's new strategy, however, ignores key recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which in December called for a new diplomatic offensive and an outreach to Syria and Iran. Instead, the president accused both countries of aiding terrorists and insurgents in Iraq. "We will disrupt the attacks on our forces," Bush said. "We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria." Audio of speech plays under sweetened video of the exercise. Meanwhile, video of Syrian government officials making conciliatory statements about a more cooperative relationship with the Americans is being cued up…

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
