heads out of asses time people
mmm… politics. i guess the reason that i stay out of the fray for the most part- is 1) ‘debate’ in america is like having a battle of wits with an unarmed person and 2) there really is no debate because it’s a done deal. what frustrates me so much is that [...]

Let’s jump right on in, shall we?
Yes, I saw a wee bit of Ann Coulter’s appearance on Joy Behar’s CNN show.

Some say that Halloween time is the season when the veil between the “worlds” [this world and the world hereafter] is thin.
