The Tree and the Nut

There is a lot of press about ACORN and its voter registration efforts. The country registrar in Clark County, Nevada reports 'rampant fraud' among the thousands of voter registration cards submitted each week. But he also assures the public that all the fraud is being caught. Safeguards in place to... Sign in to see full entry.

Judging Reports

Early yesterday, I read a report Sarah Palin had had put together, which she claimed cleared her of wrong doing in the investigation popularly known as 'Troopergate'. In the evening, I read a report on the report released by the investigators. Despite Palin's comments to the contrary, the reports... Sign in to see full entry.

Return to Normalcy

A study was released today that showed evidence that pregnancy doesn't affect a woman's cognitive function. Tests were performed, or surveys answered, or something, by a group of women, with a repeat a few years apart. Some of the women in the sample were pregnant during one test and not during the...

Today began dark and rainy, which made it a good day to give my students an exam. It's only the second week of the quarter, sort of (because the quarter began on a Wednesday), but there are four exams in anatomy, so we hit the ground running. So today, I got the first measure of my classes. At the... Sign in to see full entry.

Early Letdown

Now that the compaign is over, according to a growing number of pundits, including Blogit's own davideskin, I'm experiencing a kind of emotional letdown. Or maybe I'm just tired of the curse we're living under. At least, I hear there is such a curse, ancient Chinese wisdom, if I remember right. May... Sign in to see full entry.

The End of Normal Life

I wrote yesterday about my brother visiting. We had a good talk, and both enjoyed the visit. But our relationship got off to a rocky start. I was the third child in my family, born a year after my older brother and two years after my sister. Yes, three children in three years of marriage. That took... Sign in to see full entry.

My brother stopped over last night, and we spent a few hours talking about stuff. He is from Chicago, a gay, liberal artist and educator, and he doesn't like Barack Obama. He didn't watch the recent debates between presidential candidates or vice presidential candidates, and he doesn't plan to vote... Sign in to see full entry.

Imperfect Unions

There was a question in the debate the other night regarding gay marriage, and both candidates were against it, but possibly for some rights for gays, or at least tolerant of them, or something. Sarah Palin was uncomfortable answering the question, and hedged on granting any rights. Yes, they should... Sign in to see full entry.

Outside Views

I watched the vice-presidential candidates' debate last night. As usual, I had a different impression than the commentators I've hear or read in the aftermath. I saw a couple of important moments that for me really told the story of the whole campaign, but neither of them got much play in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Playhouse Adventure

While I'm on the subject of sex education, I thought I would reveal one of the deep dark secrets ofmy past. I lived a sheltered life, staying home most of the time, or wandering the Mojave Desert, surrounding my home, with my brother. We hunted lizards and other desert creatures, and were quite...
