I don’t have a whole lot to say tonight. Fortunately, you can look down a few column inches and see that Pattie’s doing the heavy blog lifting. But by all means, go check out Keith Olbermann’s latest Special Comment on MSNBC’s site. Those are definitely some questions I want to see asked to Rudy Guiliani […]
Better late than never, I always say. I saw this article about Disney teaming with a wedding dress designer to create princess-themed wedding dresses for grown-up brides about a week ago but I haven’t had a chance to comment on it until now. (In the interest of full disclosure, as I write this, my five-year […]
I think we’re finally safely in spring mode. We’ve been able to sleep with the windows open for the last few days. It’s amazing how much good a little fresh, circulating air can do for you. I might shake this cold sometime in the next few weeks! Another small but heavy thing for me to […]
A quick follow-up to my earlier post which cited stats on the continuing wage gap between men and women, the Associated Press has an article citing a study which shows that the wage gap between equally qualified male and female college-educated workers is evident as early as one year after college and continues to widen […]

There are quite a few tracks that my favorite artists have contributed to various soundtracks over the years and I haven’t quite been willing to pay the full album price for one sing. (Matthew […]
Milestones in your child’s life, like most of the parenting experience, often come with a mixed bag of emotions. The one our daughter reached this week is no exception. One one hand, Alex turned five, certainly a milestone birthday in her mind and ours. We celebrated by taking her to Hershey, PA, specifically the Hershey’s […]
In The Public and Its Problems, Dewey tries to distinguish between transactions that are private and those that are public. Private transactions have no significant effect on people who aren’t involved with the transaction. Public transactions have consequences that have a significant but indirect effect on people who aren’t a party to the transaction itself. […]
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s blog has YouTube footage of two speeches in favor of a resolution that would give the District of Columbia a voting representative in the House.
