I suppose I ought to write about Cindy Sheehan just so the search engines will think I’m topical. I can’t figure out why she’s still on the news. She met with Bush in June of 2004 and said at the time that she thanked Bush for being such a kind man. A year later she’s [...]

Man. That’s got to be the ugliest dog I’ve ever seen. Some may call it a tale of beauty and the beast. But Sam, a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested, and a three-time champ in the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, is the dog of Susie Lockheed’s dreams.

My workplace has a cafeteria downstairs that served decent food, but over the weekend the old crew cleared out and new management took over. It’s not a cafeteria anymore; it’s a full blown cafe.
