Over booked day

Oy! So today was catching up on domestic chores (a bit.) I then dash off to the rigatoni dinner for Cindy Purvis, who is running for PA State Senate. I saw my friend Jeff as I was leaving. I then dashed off to grocery shop, and got home in time to head off to . . . → Read More: Over booked day

Sad loss for a friend

A friend of mine who was the original convener for Pagan Pride Day here in Erie has been facing some very tough times. She is dealing with some serious health issues and things are quite scary on that front.

Her son just started at a new college on Monday. He was moving to study . . . → Read More: Sad loss for a friend

Palin should step down, conservative commentator says « – Blogs from CNN.com

It would appear that the GOP is having a bit of buyer’s remorse. Kathleen Parker, the conservative columnist, is calling for Sarah Palin to step down as a candidate as she is "out of her league." Even the GOP is getting that she is unqualified and that McCain choosing her as his running . . . → Read More: Palin should step down, conservative commentator says « – Blogs from CNN.com

Paulson Begs

Wow! This sounds like the initial promising compromise did not pan out at all. How embarrassing it must be for Paulson to have to beg from someone, and then admit it was the other side that was blowing up the deal.

It also sounds like McCain’s plan to come back and "help" only served . . . → Read More: Paulson Begs

Helping folks verify that they are registered. Are YOU sure that you are??

This makes me feel really good! I found a portal site that lets folks verify that they are indeed registered to vote, and I sent an email to the Erie GLBT News and Events list to alert folks. There are just under 1,000 addresses on the list.

Someone on the list emailed me back . . . → Read More: Helping folks verify that they are registered. Are YOU sure that you are??

Sarah Palin is protected against witchcraft

Well, this is immensely reassuring.  Thomas Muthee prayed over Sarah Palin in 2005 that she would be protected from several things, including witchcraft. I guess that the Sarah turned down the Bridge to Nowhere because of an apparent previous commitment to build a Bridge to the 17th Century.

She doesn’t say anything in . . . → Read More: Sarah Palin is protected against witchcraft

Congress reaches bipartisan bailout proposal – Sep. 25, 2008

Hmm, this sounds initially encouraging.

However, how unfortunate for poor John McCain’t! Now it would seem that he doesn’t have a legitimate excuse to dodge tomorrow night’s debate. Personally, I think that this makes him look like a fool. He pulls a drama queen stunt to duck out of an engagement that the entire . . . → Read More: Congress reaches bipartisan bailout proposal – Sep. 25, 2008

Sarah Palin in The Actor’s Nightmare

This is painful to watch. I almost feel sorry for Sarah. She seems hopelessly lost and scared. She seems to know a couple of buzzwords and stock phrases and seems terrified that someone will ask her what she really means.

And the last line, “I’ll try to find some and I’ll bring them to . . . → Read More: Sarah Palin in The Actor’s Nightmare

An Alternative to Delaying the Debate

First off, I think that John McCain’s sudden urge to cancel the debates just reeks of desperation.  McCain is still going to another event tomorrow. Why didn’t he propose changing the debate when the news broke? Why is McCain only talking about this when the polls show his numbers dropping? How does he get . . . → Read More: An Alternative to Delaying the Debate

Trading "tracts"

My good friends Laurie and Janice were at folding tonight. This would be the same couple that was on the front page of Erie Times News and Erie Gay News a while back as a couple.

Laurie told me a cute story: apparently, some Jehovah’s Witnesses had stopped by. Janice told the granddaughter to . . . → Read More: Trading "tracts"
