Topic: It's a wrap

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy. At any rate, I'v been working on a new project and it has been fun. If you are looking for an excellent read, I strongly suggest that you visit:

Per Contra


It is still an infant, but it was born with style and substance. Hope to see you there.

Now Playing: Football Lingo
Topic: It's a wrap

Training camp is back in full swing, T.O. is whining and offensive linemen across America are cursing double cheeseburgers. Must be football season again. In honor of America's sport, I wrap this week with football lingo.

Holding: President Bush - clinging to the past with a less-than-sweeping, beholden to the oil people, energy bill. We could have done better. Way better.

I-left, 70 Venezuela, stomp on human rights and mug for the camera, on one, break: Hugo Chavez. The paragon of human decency and civil rights (yes, I'm laughing) has his own network. Pravda and Al Jazeera, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes TELESUR in a baby carriage.

Wide right: Jerry Falwell - berating the "gay agenda," again. Would someone please find the homosexual who has the agenda and tell him to stop inciting everyone? Sheesh.

Personal foul, unsportsmanlike conduct: Philadelphia Inquirer. For pulling a televangelist and preaching against the very same sins they commit. And while we're having this little talk, maybe the PI hasn't heard, but, like, this military intelligence outfit found this Atta dude, like, a year before 9/11, or something. D'oh, scooped again...

Ejected from the game: Anti-Semites. Boy I wish.

This week's indulgence, why not? It's done more for me in one day than any radical mullah ever will:



The new week is here!

Topic: It's a wrap

Now for this week's (loaded with sexist lingo) wrap:

You 'Da Man: Miriam N. Kotzin, who obviously isn't a man, but is my collaborative partner in writing fiction and is an all around wonderful human being for whom I have much affection and who has tolerated wonderfully my move to a daily blog of my own. She had two Pushcart Prize Nominations last year and she has a bundle of new fiction and poetry forthcoming. Check out her website for a great read.

Attaboy: Lawrence A. Uzzell, CATO, for putting a perfect cap on this week's multiple education posts. You really should read: "No Child Left Behind: The Dangers of Centralized Education Policy"

Good 'Ole Boy Quote of the Week: "On this issue, the party skates very close to the edge and never goes over. The leaders understand that if Roe were reversed, there would be blood in the streets." - Ann Stone, Republicans for Choice.

Persecuted Homeboy of the Week (Hint: NOT PALESTINIAN): Judge John Roberts, for having to tolerate meetings with Senators and the New York Times allegedly investigating the adoptions of his children. Bet he sometimes wishes he'd gone into corporate law.

And finally, from the Department of Redundancy Department: The Government of Mauritania resigns...After the coup.

Wisdom from the Center City Sage: Seek the lint filter filled with giblets of paper and you will find a man desperately searching for his pay stub.

Completely self indulgent here: Funniest photo I've seen this week.



The new week is here!
