About Me:
Middle-aged (thank god); married (oddly enough); native New Yorker; one (thoroughly magnificent, thanks) child, She Who Must Be Obeyed, aka HM (Her Majesty). But a mere lowly end-user by profession, and a former [pretty much everything, at least in somewhat limited first-world terms]. Extravagant (mostly organic) cook, slapdash (completely organic) gardener, brain space originally assigned to names and faces piled up with the overflow from the desperately overcrowded Old Movie and Broadway Trivia section, garage space which was originally assigned to a car piled up with boxes of books. Dreadful housekeeper, indifferent dresser, takeout menu ninja and the proud owner of a major percentage of the partially finished crafts projects on the east coast of the continental United States. The handsome gentleman in the picture is Hoa Hakananai'a. He joined the collection of the British Museum in 1868. His name, which is thought to mean "stolen or hidden friend," was given to him by his previous owners when he was collected.

The president of a slaughterhouse admitted on Wednesday that his plant has slaughtered downer cows and released them into the market, where most of them were consumed by children and seniors. The fun part is who his lawyer is.

With a U.S. Senator set to assume the presidency for the first time since 1960, and with an eye on the 470 other federal elections scheduled for November 4th, the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy (DMI) released “TheMiddleClass.org 2007 Congressional Scorecard” today. DMI’s congressional scorecard, which is the only one in the nation based solely upon the interests of the middle class, reveals a great and troubling divide in the Congress. On the positive side, the scorecard reflects an overall improvement in Congress’ support for the middle class, with 34 Senators and 199 Representatives receiving “A” grades. On the negative side, one-third of all Representatives and nearly 40% of all Senators earned “F” grades.

Tim Goeglein, according to the Washington Post, is "central to how this president operates -- and wins elections." Until recently, he also contributed thoughts on the nature of things to a newspaper in Indiana. Unfortunately, neither the thoughts nor the words used to express them were, not to put too fine a point on it, his.

On Fox, Ralph Reed can't imagine what Michelle Obama isn't proud of. Ralph Reed doesn't have a very good memory. The internets do.
