“The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.” – Jane Addams
*sigh*
There isn’t much for me to say about this…again. I ranted about it last November when Proposition 8 was passed, overturning the previous law allowing for gay marriage, but really [...]

Pigeons Smigeons You Say?
“When I was walking down Argyle Street today, I saw a pigeon eating vomit off the sidewalk. I decided, right then and there, that the pigeon’s reputation as a “rat with wings” is well deserved. .” – Long Aye-lander in Glasgow

The Final Debate
“Obama is one cool cat.” – My friend Chrystal
This will probably be my shortest blog yet. I don’t have the patience to recap the entire presidential debate I just watched. John McCain was completely rude, condescending, and desperate. When he wasn’t interrupting, he came across as the grumpy, crotchety old man… almost wired. I started [...]

VP Debate: My Unorganized Thoughts & Comments
“ Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.” – Unknown

*I wish the moderator would’ve pressed for answers. She missed the ball on that one.
*I am stunned that she actually used [...]

Paying 65% More For the Sun
“You leave the setting to court the rising sun.” – Tiberius
I live in San Diego where the cost of housing is 65% more than where I’m from…the MidWest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is obviously more desirable to live in San Diego, but C’MON…65%!!! The average cost of living difference is about 13% in other things like [...]
