Hi, friends,

I came back to the library yesterday, and had the good fortune of finding an Albert Camus text. After a rereading, I will be putting something out on the blog.

a few thoughts...

The first bit of sad news to relate to you is the passing on Friday of Tim Russert. This was so sad... I must admit I watched more on ABC and CBS, but what I did see I liked. Tim's face will be seen until he is laid to rest.

The next is that a new label is being put to use on the graphic. It seems to work...cross your fingers!

I tried to find Albert Camus' book but with no luck. I'll see what is available tommorow.

Peace.

Hello, Kenosha, Wisconsin!!!

a bit of news...as some of you may know, our dumb machines can be quite frustrating, even exacerbating. and we give them the name "computers"! Hang in there...Albert Camus is coming.

oh, yeah...

As I thought about it, I realized that Obama blogs would suit me much better. So I changed it. Here's hoping we agree. Go Obama!

The Spitzer Sting
Alexander Cockburn
and
Eliot Spitzer: John Q. Public
Katha Pollitt
in
The Nation.
March 31, 2008

In this issue of The Nation, Mr. Cockburn and Ms. Pollitt both present views of Eliot Spitzer. For those not in the know, Mr. Spitzer disgraced himself by having a long-term dalliance with a prostitute, all the while condemned those unfortunates who get caught with their, um, pants down. One wonders if Mr. Spitzer will demand the same harshness upon himself as he did upon others. Oh well, I can dream...

However, there is a more serious side to all of this. If New York is comparable to Connecticut, we can safely say that convicts take a hefty sum out of this budget. Please don't misunderstand me. I do believe that certain offences deserve punishment, the most serious to the most vile.

But prostitution? This doesn't hit the mark by any means. Consider what happens in the average transaction. First, the two haggle over what will be done, second, price will be negotiated, third, enjoy yourself.We may or may not like the idea but we certainly are not forced to have our pockets picked to enforce this idiotic"law".

hello everyone...

Yeah, '....I'm always putting things off...but I do promise a decent essay tommorow. Hold on until then, ok?

coming soon

Sorry I'm so late. On Monday I'll have a review of an article. Hope you'll share your thoughts.

Eight Belles-The last bell

When this Saturday was coming, I was looking forward to the race, I was looking forward to it, although with some trepidation. Two years ago, the lead horse took a fall shortly after starting the race. He would be ok - so it seemed - but this Preakness shook me up.

Eight Belles received a lot of attention prior to the race. When the field came down the stretch, Eight Belles and Big Brown seemed in a battle, until Eight Belles faded, just a bit. Wow, I said to myself, this was a classic race.

Then Eight Belles buckled from underneath her.

ghoulish-- but neccesary

Hello,y'all. Today I'd like to discuss an admittedly less-than-pleasant topic. Yes, it is the one in which you are the sublect of attention - the onr in which you are the dearlt departed.

If you are LGBT person, it's all the more important that you be one who writes the obituary in the local newspaper. Thye first thing that needs to be done is locating the best paper. In my area, there are three: a daily one, and two weeklies. Two papers are realitively neutral, while one is conservative. Now, your paper's conservattivisn doesn't neccesarily mean its anti-LGBT; the paper may hhave no qualms aboot the person's organizations or reationships. Just keep an eye on it.

Next, check to see what costs (if any) there will be. For weeklies and monthlies there will be no cost (for now); however, there is a limitrd space. For dailies, there is no limit - except the cost per word

Finally, a good, accepting friend is important. once a year, make additioons and subtractond. When the final draft is completed, have you and a friend sign it, with a notary to bear witness

Hello,, y'all--

Sorry for the rather extensive delay. Spring is approaching, and, fortunately, so is the use of my legs. I really have to force myself, but, with extensive motion, my right leg will increase its mobility.

More later.

this is a test...this is only a test...well, it's really not that bad. I just want to see if I can get some e-photos aboard.
