When I read this story in USA Today, I thought I’d lost five months out of my life. Surely this is better suited to April Fools’ Day:
The federal government’s “no sex without marriage” message isn’t just for kids anymore.
Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only […]
Here are a few posts from around the ’sphere to accompany your coffee this morning:
Dr. Steven Taylor at Poliblog comments on Texas’ strange and disappointing governor’s race, where the unpopular incumbent leads in the polls. (FWIW — Polimom voted for Strayhorn last week.)
Jon Swift delivers one of his best: Rush Limbaugh Takes on the […]
If a tree falls in the forest, but nobody’s there when it happens, did it make any noise?
If a man takes off all his clothes, but nobody’s watching, is he really naked?
And if a blogger’s name is available on a link from the profile page, but a commenter takes some other circuitous and time-consuming route […]
The NY Times is on a roll. First it was moderate and conservative Democrats, and now it’s the socially liberal Republicans:
“I am a Republican and have traditionally voted that way,” Tony Schuler, an operations services manager at Microsoft with a Harvard M.B.A., said as he sat with his wife, Deanna, in their home above […]
Coming in right behind a great dialogue we had here last week, the Houston Chronicle has an article (originally in the NY Times) up this morning about the Democrats, and some of the candidates they’re running:
In their push to win back control of the House, Democrats have turned to conservative and moderate candidates who fit […]
Polimom’s no different from every other goo-goo eyed mama about AC’s babyhood.
She was perfect; looking back through my adoring, rose-colored glasses, even her diapers were rarely (and barely) soiled… or at least, they were cleaner than this year’s campaign tactics (WaPo):
On the brink of what could be a power-shifting election, it is kitchen-sink time: Desperate […]
Polimom’s mind isn’t on politics this morning.
Instead, I’m wandering some dusty, rarely-visited rooms in my mind — the places where a lady I knew for 35 years is young, vibrant, healthy, and sometimes frustrated with the antics of a couple of goofy girls.
She figures in more current vignettes too, but those are harder memories; I […]
Columnist Ruben Navarrette recently wrote about protestors’ eruption of violence during a speech by Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist. In a nutshell, Navarrette affirmed what the vast majority of people feel: you’re free to spout off like a nutcase (or a yahoo in a chair with a beer), and Americans will defend your right to do […]
Polimom’s always been a blue jean kinda girl, and it extends to all areas of my life; I’m just not one for formality and fluff.
AC, on the other hand, started sorting her clothes by color when she was two, and since her dad was even more casual than I (as in… only t-shirts in […]
