Rants

When I need to vent before I kick someone.

I’ve been known to bite, too.

Demmed Synopsi

Yes, I’m aware the plural is synopses.  I just like synopsi better.  Not that I like any of the beasts very damned well.  Yes, I am STILL bashing away at Taro’s.  No, I really don’t think I’m getting anywhere.  In fact, I scrapped the half-page I had as gods-awful, and started over.  Now I have […]

Bad, Bad, BAD Day

Some ***** made me cry today. I just…suddenly had enough. I’m sitting there, half an hour into a desperate search for some forms that are NOT my responsibility, but I was trying to be helpful–and this lady calls me up to report her kid absent. She’s got the flu, it’s day two. It’s Friday. She

Now come on.  Republicans, take

Environmental activists called this scientific censorship, which they said was in line with the Bush administration’s history of muzzling dissent

Rampage

I hate when I feel like I haven’t written enough.  Here it is, Sunday, and I’ve barely accomplished anything.  Again. And no, I won’t be listing laundry or TV watching or grocery shopping.  What I needed to do was write.  And while I spent much of the weekend trying to get it done, I accomplished

This Sucks

Quoting from this site: Jasmine and Osama’s is a love story, and it tells you so much about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  They met when they worked at the same place in Jerusalem, and three years ago they got married.  First they tried to live in Israel, but the Israeli authorities would not allow Osama to
