7 dead in shooting rampage at postal center
At the first report of this, I must admit I was not shocked or surprised. These types of things certainly seem to be happening with more frequency.
However, the fact that this rampage was from a female sets it apart. I can not recall an incident like this being from a …
If You Want Loyalty…. Get A Dog!
The brains behind the Ruralshire Constabulary Instant Arse Covering Unit at Headquarters have published their response to the new police conduct regulations. Along with the rather Orwellian ‘undermining public confidence’ offence, which counts on and off duty, is the kind of retro Soviet style 1950’s PSB* Number 10. PSB Number 10 makes it an offence NOT to report your colleagues for the famous ‘inappropriate behaviour’. ‘Inappropriate Behaviour’ can be anything from associating with criminals (u
Crafting pizza, mail, and sachets out of felt!
I’m not usually a very crafty person. I would like to be, but I just haven’t gone there yet and figure I have enough things to occupy my time without adding crafts to the mix too. ;) However, in the spirit of the No Plastic Holiday Challenge (which means no gifts with plastic, not refraining from buying using plastic i.e. your credit cards, although that’s a good idea too), I’m forcing myself to get crafty. I’ve come across more cute homemade kid present ideas on blogs lately than I can recall
"Hey-yay, Wait A Minute Mr. Postman:" When Recommendation Season Is Upon Us
So I’ve got a pain in my side that may indicate a cracked rib. I have a sore toe, a wrist that aches halfway up my forearm, a bump on my head, a throbbing neck, a sharp pain in my lower back and at least one elbow and two knees that are puffy and sore. You get one guess – what am I? A football player? Nope. Guess again. Can't? Liberal arts college professor. And it’s recommendation season. Yep, recommendation season. And as it turns out, this year recommendations are a contact sport. This i

Thanksgiving, a Quilt, and a Gift.
[IMG Christmas quilt 127 [1024x768]] Is it already December? Wha... But it's barely Autumn.... I'm so confused.... Help meeeeee, help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............!

Lessons on Laziness from “Office Space”
We all know what “lazy” means, right? Even so, it never hurts to start out on the same page. Here’s the primary definition of lazy from dictionary.com: “adj. 1. averse or disinclined to work, activity, or exertion; indolent.” I’m not here to judge lazy people. If being lazy makes you truly happy—and you’re not hurting anybody in the process—then enjoy it as much as you can! Life is short! I believe we should all do whatever makes us happy, as long as we don’t do it at the expense of o

Enough with the hearts and flowers already; time for a Saturday rant.
Okay, me first. Today was a fairly decent day, much like Monday. I left the house alone. I ran errands. I made a circuit of five stores, spent about two hours, and then came home and slept off my exhaustion for three. But let me tell you about my first stop on this grand tour. I went to the post office to pick up some mailing boxes. The post office closes at 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays; I got there at about 12:40. There was a long line, and it got longer after me, nearly out the door. I feel
Ron, the door!
Today, Robert and I ventured out for a little capitalist adventure - braving the traffic and parking lots on Black Friday. Ahhhh, the joys of being a consumer. Ehhhh. At precisely 4:18 p.m., I remembered I needed to pick up a piece of certified mail at the post office, which closes at precisely 4:30 p.m. So, Robert and I make a concerted effort to get to there before they locked the doors. Robert didn't quite get my haste. "They're very serious about closing on time," I said. We arrived at
I Don't Have to Live This Way
agenda--what a character wants; an achievement, goal, or status that propels the character's behavior throughout the arc of the story in which the character is involved. As the story develops, the reader and perhaps other characters in the story gain an understanding of what the individual with agenda is willing to do in order to realize his goal. Agenda is much like the magnetized cards substituting for keys at hotels and motels; without them, the character doesn't get entry into a scene much l
Thanksgiving Bonus
I am crying over my mail again. "Why" you ask? Because the United States Postal Service in their infinite wisdom has returned to me that which was lost. One bag of mother love, sent from Massachusetts to Indiana, rerouted and returned from whence it came.Hug a postal worker today. I am unbelievably overjoyed at the return of this package!! Yes, everything is intact; the Levellers, the USB cable for the camera, one pair of gauntlets and two unique hats. Hey, Meg, think Laura wants her birthday pr
Today's Joke
Listen to this, a guy in North Carolina, a mailman, a Federal employee, a postal worker, was arrested and put in jail. You know why? He would deliver regular mail, but he wouldn't deliver junk mail. They got the guy, they arrested him, and they put him in prison. We got that guy, but still no word on bin Laden. — David Letterman

More Roaches Come Out Of Hiding: Robert Scheer Scrambles In The Light
Posted by BuelahMan on November 28, 2008 Robert Scheer is a man whom I respect and have quoted here on several occasions. However, when he began jumping on the Obama bandwagon and began the offensive towards Ralph Nader regarding this subject, I knew that he, too, had drank the Messiah koolaid. Now, we have him coming out and almost admitting he made a mistake and at the very least does hold claim that he wanted to challenge Ralph to a debate over the issue of the bail out and Mr Obama’s stance

Late Night Political Humor
The Transition Continues “In a speech this morning, Barack Obama said, ‘This isn’t about big government or small government. It’s about building a smarter government.’ When he heard this, President Bush said, ‘I get it. I get it. I’m leaving.’” -Conan O’Brien “That Obama is a smart, hard-working guy. And he has promised now to stabilize the economy, going to rebuild the infrastructure, create millions of new jobs, catch bin Laden. President Bush said, ‘Uh, you can do that?’” -David Letterman

The Nation: Maybe Nader was Right. Return of the Wall St. Hustlers Posted November 26th, 2008 by Michael Nystrom By Robert Scheer | November 26, 2008 The Nation Maybe Ralph Nader was right in predicting that the same Wall Street hustlers would have a lock on our government no matter which major party won the election. I hate to admit it, since it wasn't that long ago that I heatedly challenged Nader in a debate on this very point. But how else is one to respond to Barack Obama's picking th
