Playing it safe
The most unfortunate victim of the Iowa caucuses was last night’s lackluster debate in New Hampshire as everyone decided to play it safe with cautious, uninspiring performances that were unlikely to change anyone’s minds or spur the undecideds in any particular direction. It actually made me feel sorry for Howard Dean as the way-over-the-top criticism
10 Random Reasons I’m Addicted to This Blogging Thing
Thought I saw him there tonight. Could have sworn I saw something like him kneeling and waiting. My heart jumped a bit thinking that maybe he knew and came. But when I blinked, I realized that it was someone else’s him waiting for another her. I could only blink again, this time something wet and
Presidential Match
Found another Presidential Match site that has you rate various issues and, in a nice twist, at the end it lets you rank the general categories (ie: Social Issues, Security and International Policy, etc.) by personal importance. It then lists the candidates by how closely they match what you’re looking for: 1 Kucinich Score: 100%2
A break from politics today as there’s really nothing that needs to be said about Dubya’s speech last night. He obviously thinks he’s playing D&D or something because he’s certainly not living in the real world. (PS: Dubya may be a dope but the Democrats really need to come up with better than Pelosi and

Kucinich, Edwards Make a Deal

(In simple terms: 14.9% or less = ZERO delegates, better make a deal!) Both
Pumpkin Seeds: 1/18/2004
1. How do you spell implosion? D-E-A-N. In less than 24 hours, the Iowa caucus will have its say and, despite the high-profile endorsements, the internet-driven fundraising, the months-long blessing from the media, Howard Dean’s campaign has hit a wall. Hard. It’s looking more and more like the Matrix than Lord of the Rings: a
Ta-da! Notice anything different? Picked up the design from Ellen Edgerton via Blogskins.com and tweaked it a bit for that angry pumpkin feel. Trimmed my list of blogs as it was getting rather unwieldly with more and more people I like getting in on the fun. (Hello Mara Jebsen!) There’s several other people I read
I’ll Be Voting For Wesley Clark / Good-Bye Mr. Bush — by Michael Moore I don’t usually give much creedence to political endorsements since most of them stem from self-serving agendas as opposed to personal beliefs, but this one stopped me in my tracks. I’m not a Michael Moore devotee – the self-proclaimed man of
When I got into Dungeons & Dragons back in High School, there were a number of other role-playing games I was familiar with – Gamma World, James Bond, Marvel Superheroes, etc. – and they all took place within fantasy worlds of some sort, past or future. Even James Bond, which took place in something resembling
