et al.: big business steals vision for cheap, dangerous toys

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Long before toy magnate Irwin Mainway began pushing the “Bag-o-Glass” toy (why didn’t I think of that?) and long before mainstream toy companies began their race to the bottom by making lead-painted toys in China, one of my roommates at America’s Finest Liberal Arts College mesmerized us with his bold vision to build a factory […]

et al.: arguments for existence of a benevolent God

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Who said there is no benevolent God? Praise the Lord (and pass the subpoenas…).

Friday, August 10th, 2007

If you haven’t subscribed to my RSS feed, this might be the time to do so. Thanks to the good folks at Feedburner, who now offer a ton of handy social networking features that make it more useful — bookmarking, emailing links, etc.

et al. I’m missing something, right? Nardelli will revive Chrysler?

Monday, August 6th, 2007

To my knowledge, I’ve never blogged about cars (missed out on the male car gene: I just think of them as necessary evils to get from Point A to Point B, preferably with as few emissions as possible…).
HOWEVER, this was just too good to miss: Robert Nardelli, he of the multi-scazillion dollar severance package after […]

et al.: don’t impeach Gonzales

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

The temptation, no matter how overwhelming, to impeach Gonzo can’t go forward. Instead, we must look to a sage predecessor as A.G. with equally high ethical and legal standards (kinda along the lines of it takes one to know one…) for the proper course of action: “Let him twist slowly, slowly in the wind.”

et al.: Shades of the Crusades — Benedict XVI throws fuel on fire

Monday, July 16th, 2007

As if the Islamic world didn’t already have enough reason to suspect the West, Pope Benedict XVI, exhibiting an attitude that might might be more consistent with the 500’s (when Benedict I was pontiff), has reasserted that the Roman brand of Catholicism is the only “true” church . That leaves the rest of us […]

et al.: why is there no attention to detail by spammers?

Friday, July 6th, 2007

It just occurred to me that I haven’t done any et al. posts since resuming my blog, so let’s put an end to that!
What provoked me was an email from “Danny Beard,” who went on to tell me ” Hello! I am tired this afternoon. I am nice girl that would like to chat […]

Glasgow Airport: new phase of coordinated attacks?

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

The Glasgow Airport incident, which certainly looks like a terrorist attack at this point, makes one fear we may be entering a new phase of terrorist activity.
Instead of the thwarted simultaneous attacks on airliners in 1995 and 2006 and 9/11, could we be facing widely dispersed attacks in a limited time frame that would create […]

Rest in peace, SFC Greg Sutton

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I’m just back from a week in the wilds of British Columbia and Alberta, and wrapping up a white paper on networked homeland security, but felt compelled to break silence with this post.
I mark the death of SFC Greg L. Sutton, the gunner for the team my son commands in Iraq (my son was wounded, […]

Belated thanks to Blue Gal

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Belated thanks to Blue Gal, who said some nice things about me and the NECN investigative story on the drastic cutbacks in the Federal Protective Service last week when she was guest editing Crooks and Liars. I ended up with more hits than I’ve ever gotten on a single day — not bad for a […]
