Our Halloween Contest submission is a quartet. Think of it as The Lord of the Rings (or perhaps more aptly the original Star Wars trilogy) with a Special Features fourth DVD. It’s still one work. If the editors are poopy-doopy about the quartet concept, they… Read full post »
Sorry, Gov. Palin: Alaska's Largest Newspaper Endorses Obama
It’s embarrassing to keep getting one-upped by my 78-year-old Obama activist mom-in-law. I just received an e-mail from her that said, “You must have heard the news that Anchorage Daily News endorsed Obama!!!”
Uh, actually, no. My older son, a college so… Read full post »
The Weasel for President & her Open Salon Cabinet
Let’s face it, folks – humans have been in charge long enough. What do we have to show for it? An increasingly toxic environment, poverty, hatred, war, etc. What’s not to like? Right about now aren't you just… Read full post »

Lobby SNL to say no to "Kill, baby, kill"
Please consider either e-mailing Saturday Night Live or calling them to tell them that Sarah Palin's rabid rally tactics resulting in crowd responses of "terrorist," racial slurs, and shouts of "kill him" are not a laughing matter. SNL has said that they would love to have Palin on… Read full post »
The Baby Weasel says, "Help! I'm Stuck!"
Which one doesn't belong?
DogWoman’s thoughts:
This isn’t the standardized test (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, LSAT) of your nightmares.

Here she demonstrates her Taco Frisbee technique with the… Read full post »
