A Google Trends Worth of Title
Soothing Our Savage Breast
The last few days I've been shooting a series of test images, getting to know my dslr: comparing lenses, zooming, exposure settings and the like. Much of it found the little waste basket icon on the display to come in very handy but I thought I'd share several I would call… Read full post »
Martha My Dear - Chuck A. Stetson's Open Call
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
Make it easy to be near you
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
Martha my dear
Honey pie you are making me crazy
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
I'm sorry that I doubted you

Farewell, Adios and So Long
The minute I opened the door
It was Hello Walls - hello cat

Five for Friday
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Well, I wake in the morning,
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the/… Read full post »
Stupor Tuesday
Republican or Democrat, liberal or libertarian, gay or straight, lactose tolerant or intolerant, an overwhelming consensus has it that Mainers don't hate gays, tea-bagger usurpations were soundly rejected in upstate New York, Republican victories in two governorships and at least one mayoralty are a… Read full post »
Snow Day Baguettes
I think that I may just have seen
The inner workings of your spleen.
For everywhere the browser went
The topic was your need to vent;
And venting of this kind does make
My caffeinated torso shake;
The timer for the baguettes sounds
A not-so-subtle call to flounce?
But then a favorite'/… Read full post »
After All the Jacks Are in Their Boxes
This place can just plain beat you up sometimes. You're hurting on the day everybody else is sharing an in-joke they pre-arranged on facespacebookmytwitterspotdotcommie to make something mundane seem très important - or perhaps you're writing from the heart about your most joyous, orgasmitroni… Read full post »
The Meanings In Small Words
There was an editorial in the NY Times this morning referencing Buono v. Salazar. I hadn't been aware of this matter and was curious to read an article about this pending Supreme Court case at the Washington Post. I was all set to post on the subject here when I noticed… Read full post »
Letter to Senator Bingaman - Now an "Open" Letter

Thomas, Kerry, Joan et. al. surely have to be vigilant now that Open Salon returns beaucoup "hits" on the worldwide Intertubes.
Does your pit bull spam a lot? (I've never received one, but then again I have a pretty good firewall.) If this member's post had been an attack on… Read full post »
What a Day: My Senator is a Gang Member and Microsoft Sucks
What's more irritating than a Windows Genuine Advantage "fix" for Office xp pro which says it can't validate until you activate but your attempts to activate say you've already done it?
The slow march to a pre-ordained outcome in the Senate is high on my list of candidates. If you… Read full post »
This Place is Exactly the Same As It Ever Was
Turn It Up
I started to overspill on Cartouche's "This Place Has Changed" post, the 50,000th of its kind I've seen since I joined a while back. Okay, I'm taking hyperbolic license. So I withdrew all but a few words, as a courtesy; so here goes.

Noone Should Die
" No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day." Any questions?

He Might Say, She Might Say
I have only myself to blame, but the TV was set to MSNBC when I heard the most extraordinary interchange.
The host was the news bunny called Tamron something or other and the two guests were "once crossed-eyed Republican strategist guy whose new lenses correct for it now" and "gal… Read full post »
Green Chili, Chicken & Bean Burrittos
I was thinking of you all Sunday.
It's that time of year again, when we purchase about 160 lbs. (raw weight) of New Mexico's finest extra hots. Many think the Hatch chilis from down state are the definitive ones but we and many others prefer chilis from the

The Middle Class Tax Increase is Here
