Why is Leiberman Behind?

He seems to be the most rational, intelligent and civic-minded of the entire group of Democratic candidates. He should be way ahead of the rest, but he isn't. What is it with these voters and poll respondents? Be they daft? Sign in to see full entry.

Wives Not Needed; Stay Home!

We don't want or need or even care about the wives of the candidates. The news seems to be enamoured of the topic of wives on the campaign trail of the Democratic Candidates.

Diet Plans Abound . . . . .

There is no "magical formula" to lose weight, although to do so is a relatively simple concept apparently difficult to carry out. One must simply take in fewer calories than they use up during each day, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Green Eggs & Hamlet . . .

"The Scrambled History of the Prince of Denmark." This vido is one of the funniest movies I've seen. It is a rendition of Shakespeare's Hamlet, re-written in Dr. Seuss-like verse.

One of my Favorite Authors, Robert L. Forward . . . .

Died in 2002. I was not aware of that until I recently visited his site where it was announced. He was both a creative, brilliant scientist and an exceptionally interesting, creative and gifted writer. I will miss him. Sign in to see full entry.

Discovery of "New" Author . . . .

New to me, anyhow. I highly recommend the well-established, award-winning author, Octavia Butler. If you have not read her work, I would recommend starting wither either Parable of the Sower or Kindred. Both excellent books.
