Dr. Sanity has written a number of posts psychoanalyzing the Left; all well worth reading. (Check out the Best Posts on her left sidebar.) This time she focuses on their obsessions with Vietnam and abortion rights:
Nevertheless, Roe vs. Wade became the template; the benchmark; the litmus test from which all those on the [...]

More Icky Things about Feminism

(Maybe I’ll back these up with some actual examples later.)
1. Fetophobia–fear of fetuses.
2. Christophobia–fear of Jesus Christ, and disgust at the idea that God became incarnate in a man. Obviously, related to:
3. Androphobia–fear of men, and of the masculine characteristics of God.

I’m amazed that anyone actually reads this small fry blog, much less comments about it. (I don’t allow comments here because I’m very shy, and my words only come out when there is a wide open space for them.)

I first heard of the September 11 attacks as I was at my church on my lunch break, shoveling dirt to help with the building addition project. The carpenters had one of their truck radios on, and I was listening while I worked. It sounded bad, but I figured there wasn’t anything I [...]

Fun with Nails

My work-at-home desk was handed down to me by interns departing from the company. Overall, it’s a decent desk, if you don’t mind solid particle board construction. The problem is the drawers: pull one out more than four inches, the sides would fall outward and the bottom would fall out. Along [...]

Nearly everything that I could say about the hurricane, and then some, is said here. Add my name to the bumper sticker.
