I don’t know how much attention the rest of you pay to SPAM, but we have a SPAM filter in our office that shunts everything into a SPAM folder – which means that we have to look at what accumulates in there every day to be sure we aren’t missing something.
Over the last couple of [...]

Stalkers Under Every Rock?
Posted in Uncategorized on June 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
OK, this is one that I just had to get off my chest. I meant to say something to the actual person who did this, but it’s hard to do when I’m dealing with a) a new teacher, and b) a classroom full of junior and senior high students who might not handle disagreement between [...]
SCOTUS Record: 1-1
Posted in Uncategorized on June 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I think I love Justice Scalia.
I also wonder if this opinion wasn’t the result of a trade-off on the other one that came out a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I realize that statement makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist. I still wonder about it.
Today’s opinion in District of Columbia v Heller upheld an individual’s right to [...]

This was also a “worth mentioning” from this morning (LOTS o’ good stuff in the inbox today):
There is a book sale going on at The Heritage Foundation, and this book looks … interesting. Let me know if you read it, because I’d really like to know how it might impact someone else.

I also got this tantalizing email this morning:
I’ve gotten emails from “Early to Rise” before, and while I don’t know a lot about the organization or what they do, my sister has gotten some of their stuff and has been reasonably happy with it. The email I got this morning was just too unbelievable not [...]
Teddy Roosevelt for President – 2008? ;)
Posted in Uncategorized on June 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I found this quote as part of my email inbox this morning and thought it deserved an airing here:
President Theodore Roosevelt …. said, “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact [...]
Hide and Seek
Posted in Uncategorized on June 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Tanner’s favorite new game is “hide and seek.” Not the kind where I hide and he tries to find me. That freaks him out, and there is nothing more pitiful than a stressed out cocker spaniel looking frantically for the Mama who was JUST HERE!!
No, this is a fun game in which Mama hides treats [...]
Catching Up

I dropped Mom off at the airport at 6:00 a.m. this morning, so forgive me if I seem a little…loopy.
It was a good visit. I think my mom is one of those people who needs a lot of reassurance – once she’s really sure you want her there, she relaxes and has a good time, [...]
U.S. Supreme Court Screws the Pooch
Posted in Uncategorized on June 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Yep. They did it. The members of the U.S. Supreme Court have finally, in essence, granted rights and privileges formerly available only to U.S. citizens to enemy combatants.
The majority (please note: the opinion is 5-4, with Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito starring as the only sane members of the Court) starts with the conclusion they [...]
