She Made A Choice... You Just Don't Like It

Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow Celebrates Life, MSM Whines About "Choice"

Okay all of you offended women's "rights" groups. If you don't like this ad then run a counter "Celebrate Suction Aspiration & Saline Poisoning" ad. Everyone get's to express their opinion. That's how America works. How America doesn't work is that you do NOT get live your life without being offended. Grow up and get used to it. And keep in mind that Mrs. Tebow did what you consider to be a holy sacrament of Modern Liberalism: she made her own choice. Your ranting makes it look like you want to silence her because - in your opinion - she made the "wrong" choice.

Analogy FAIL!

As Kathleen says: You can't make this stuff up...

Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said THIS about Ted Kennedy's Senate seat..."Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?"

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

We Have To Do More For Haiti Than Just Ship In Food, Water, & Medicine...

Elderly and Abandoned, 85 Haitians Await Death

Dear God. We'll surely have to answer for ever letting our neighbors come to such a state that this earthquake could cause such horror. We aren't responsible for their nation's failure, but we are responsible for ignoring it or giving it countenance. Forgive us.

The Earthquake in Haiti

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' ~ Matthew 25:37-40

Thousands Feared Dead In Haiti Quake

Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after a powerful earthquake flattened the president's palace, the cathedral, hospitals, schools, the main prison and whole neighborhoods. Officials feared hundreds of thousands may have perished but there was no firm count.

We should always remember how fortunate and blessed we are to live in America. Those blessings will be squandered if we don't respond to the tragedy in Haiti with all our considerable might. God expects much from us when it comes to helping the least of our brothers and sisters. In most cases sending a donation is as easy as sending a text message. If we can waste time online with drivel we can spend a few seconds using our technology to help. Red Cross, Yéle Haiti, Doctors Without Borders.

Wow. An Athlete On 'Roids. Who'd Have Guessed.

Mark McGwire Admits Using Steroids

This is about as "surprising" as Michael Stipe admitting he's gay. About as "shocking" as Obama's speech on terrorism. About as "staggering" as a Kennedy at happy hour. About as "flabbergasting" as finding a Muslim in al Qaeda. About as "astonishing" as Ann Coulter saying something hyperbolic. You get the picture.

Back To The Fifties With Harry "Jim Crow" Reid

Remember this post where I asked Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

Well apparently he would!

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.

And Joe Biden says "Don't forget clean, Harry! He's clean too!" Reid & Robert Byrd then broke into a rousing duet of "Old Man River" and closed with "Mammy".

Good grief, I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Now Who Are The Bad Guys Again?

Child Soldiers to be Freed From U.N.-Monitored Detention Camps in Nepal

Hundreds of former child soldiers who once fought for Nepal's Maoist rebels will finally be released from the U.N.-monitored detention camps they have called home for the past three years to begin new lives as civilians. [...]

Nearly 20,000 former rebel fighters — formally known as the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) — have lived in seven main camps since 2006, when they gave up their 10-year armed rebellion to join a peace process and enter mainstream politics. U.N. monitors found that 2,975 of the fighters were under 18.

Let me see if I understand this... The United Nations was helping to hold hundreds of children prisoner in Nepal, but America is evil because of Gitmo. Even though the detainees in Cuba come out healthier, better fed, armed with a Koran and prayer rug, and ready to hit the Jihad running stronger than ever. That about it? Thought so...

Nance Ain't Got Your Back Barry!

Nancy Pelosi Takes Swipe At President Obama's Campaign Promises

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, piqued with White House pressure to accept the Senate health reform bill, threw a rare rhetorical elbow Tuesday at President Barack Obama, questioning his commitment to his 2008 campaign promises.

A leadership aide said it was no accident.

Pelosi emerged from a meeting with her leadership team and committee chairs in the Capitol to face an aggressive throng of reporters who immediately hit her with C-SPAN’s request that she permit closed-door final talks on the bill to be televised.

A reporter reminded the San Francisco Democrat that in 2008, then-candidate Obama opined that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.

“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intention of making the deliberations public.

As Peter Griffin would say...

Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

"Negro" Race Choice On Census Form Sparks Outrage

A fiery blast from the past is conjuring controversy in the new millennium. The word "negro" is now featured on an official U.S. document and now many are questioning if the Census Bureau is being insensitive.

It's a word that many African Americans associate with segregation, so imagine how shocked many were to see it on the 2010 U.S. census form.

"The fact that it's 2010 and they're still putting 'negro,' I am a little offended," said Secaucus resident Dawud Ingram.

Thank you Democrat Party, Bertha Lewis, and Rham Emanuel (who I assume will be checking the box next to "Hebrew") for a wonderful trip down memory lane to 1950... Do they even listen to themselves when they talk? I'm seeing precious little evidence that they do. Any of my gay sistas going to be checking the box next to "Honky Fag"?

Helen Rules, Gibbs Drools...

Now I'm no fan of Helen, but I could watch her jab her pen in Gibbs eye all day long. Gibbs freakin' hates her! It's like watching a wizened old political reporter tear up a half-wit that eats play-dough. In fact it's exactly like that.

Stop Whining & Bend Over...

Nigeria Slams 'Discriminatory' Flight Checks

Nigeria has criticised new security measures for passengers flying to and from the United States as unfair and said they amounted to discrimination against 150 million people.

Yeah? Well all 150 million of you can just suck it up. It is discrimination. We're being discriminate about with whom we want to be locked up in a metal tube flying at 35,000 feet and there's no room for whining or hurt feelings. If having a security officer check your anal cavity with a flashlight and sonar might even possibly make it safer to fly - then bend over and shut up. And that goes for y'all in Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen and the other dangerous countries as well. The new procedures might not work, but they certainly can't hurt... unless you don't relax and take a deep breath first...

Maybe He Slipped'em A Roofie?

The palpable apprehension is that the anointed is a stranger -- a deeply engaging, elegant, brilliant stranger with whom the Democrats had a torrid affair. Having slowly woken up, they see the ring and wonder who exactly they married last night. ~ Charles Krauthammer

The HELL You Say?!

The Father (of the Flight 253 Bomber) Is a Leader Of Sharia Movement In Nigeria

Dr. Mutallab the father of the terrorist was just covering his ass because he does not want to loose his investment in the Westen World and he does not want his family to be place on the no fly list as he wants to still enjoy his vacation and western women and western wine and drinks in Engalnd, Europe and America while still using extremism and corruption to maintain their corrupt hold in Nigeria by stealing from their people, thats thats why he reported his son to America, because he and most of the Muslim leaders in Nigeria knows more and they are part of the sponsors of world wide jihadism wahabism from Saudi Arabia, Sudan,Dubai, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan etc.

Why am I not one bit surprised?

Damn Those Christians...

Like an Episcopalian could ever be motivated enough by his faith to take action. ;-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Conservative Values

Conservative: Kept within sensible limits, not excessive, discreet, heedful of consequences, reasonable, and restrained.

American Exceptionalism: The United States is an exceptional nation. No other country in the history of the world has done more to secure liberty and honor God-given rights of individuals. Our government is uniquely of, by, and for the people, not the other way around.

We Are One People: All of America's citizens can enjoy the rights and freedoms of our country without diminishing the rights of others. There can be honest differences of opinion and such differences result in opponents, not enemies.

Limited Government and Personal Freedom: Thomas Jefferson was correct when he wrote: "That government is best which governs least." Public servants must be held accountable to the highest standards of ethical conduct. Government should be limited to the powers delegated it by the Constitution. Beyond these powers, as government grows, individual freedom shrinks and the economy suffers. High taxes, runaway government spending, and over-regulation of business and farming punish initiative and stifle economic growth. Your property is yours and you have the basic right to make use of it without unreasonable government restrictions.

Reassertion of 10th Amendment Sovereignty: The 10th amendment to the United States constitution guarantees to the states and their people all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. The United States constitution defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the United States constitution and no more. The Federal government was created by the states and their people specifically to be an agent of the states and their people. The federal government, as our agent, should be discouraged from imposing certain restrictive mandates or exercising powers that are beyond the scope of those constitutionally delegated.

Family is the Foundation of the Republic: Family and the values it fosters are the foundation of American society and their preservation is essential to our Nation's continued success.

The Supreme Court: The purpose of the Supreme Court is to determine whether laws are in keeping with the Constitutionally limited powers delegated the government. The Supreme Court is not to rule based on any other standard than that of a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution.

Individual Rights: The United States were founded on the fundamental principle that individuals have certain rights and freedoms which cannot be infringed upon and may be restricted only to the degree necessary to preserve the rights of others. The subjugation of individual rights in favor of groups rights is unconstitutional and has always lead to the trampling of individual freedom.

Individual Responsibility: Individuals are responsible for their actions and the consequences. It is not government's place to save individuals from their mistakes. This kind of government intervention only encourages irresponsible behavior and impinges on others' rights. With freedom comes responsibility and that individuals must take personal responsibility for their own actions and our criminal justice system must be based on this idea.

Religious Freedom: Americans should be free to practice religion how they please. Christianity has been a positive force in our society. Government should not overreach its powers to discriminate against any religious group. Government has no right to suppress prayers nor expressions of faith in public schools.

Respect for Life: Life is sacred and is to be defended. This includes the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. Ronald Reagan was correct when he wrote: "Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life -- the unborn -- without diminishing the value of all human life."

Right to Bear Arms: The right to own a gun is recognized specifically in the Constitution, yet it is constantly under attack legislatively and legally. The right to own firearms is important to the safety and security of individuals and a nation.

Strong Military and National Defense: A strong military is a necessary deterrent in dangerous world. The U.S. must maintain military superiority to ensure our security. The American military is made up of dedicated and patriotic individuals who deserve this nation's full support. The preservation of our rights and freedoms necessitates a strong national defense and the ability of the United States to negotiate with other nations from a position of strength.

Secure Borders: Legal immigrants have enriched this country. Illegal immigration undermines American sovereignty and weakens national security. The U.S. has a right and obligation to secure it's borders.

Energy Independence: For national security and economic reasons it is time that we as a nation become energy independent by exploiting all our natural resources responsibly while at the same time encouraging energy innovation.

Educational Choice: Parents have the right to determine the values with which their children will be raised and to have the widest possible choice among public, private and religious schools and that competition will improve public education.

Low Taxes, Free Markets, and Fiscal Constraint: The the money you earn is yours and government in a free society should be given only as much as is needed to perform those limited duties which are delegated to it. Government redistribution of income through taxation is not Constitutional. Individuals have a right to their income and are far better managers of their money than is the government. The free enterprise system is the most effective engine of economic progress and free market solutions improve the economy while upholding individual freedoms.

This is written partly by me and compiled partly from here and here.

Keep The Faith

This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. ~ Winston Churchill

Only in the Western world can a gay man live a free life as himself. Hence, the health and strength of the West is fundamental to my survival. ~ USMale

When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir. ~ Thomas Paine

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ~ Samuel Adams

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. ~ Ayn Rand

The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

~ by William Tyler Page

Quotes I Like

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. ~ Douglas Adams

Leftists see everything in terms of black and white - if it has to do with race. When it's good and evil, then everything in their view turns gray.

...hell is simply one’s freely chosen identity apart from God on a trajectory into infinity. ~ Timothy Keller

The Allies tried the Nazi doctors as war criminals for crimes against humanity for their concentration camp "experiments". Obama and Eric Holder would simply take them to court for malpractice. ~ KevinQC

The liberal paradigm of regulation and license has led to a society where an 18-year-old girl has the right to public fornication in a pornographic movie – but only if she is paid the minimum wage. ~ Irving Kristol

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. ~ Mark Twain

I can say — not as a patriotic bromide, but with the full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots — that the United States of America are the greatest, the noblest and, in their original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world. ~ Ayn Rand

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. ~ Abraham Lincoln

The problem with being “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” is that most of the social liberalism comes with quite a price tag... ~ Mark Steyn

Some people are best loved at a distance. ~ Unknown

Joan: I wish it didn't hurt so much.
God: It hurts because you feel it, Joan, because you're alive. You love people. That generates a lot of power, a lot of energy, same kind of energy that binds atoms together. And we've all seen what happens when you try to pry them apart.
Joan: So if I don't get attached to people, then it won't hurt so much?
God: No, it's in your nature to get attached to people. I put that in the recipe. It's when you guys try to ignore that, when you try to go it alone, that's when it gets ugly. Its hell. ~ from Joan of Arcadia

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. ~ Winston Churchill

Imagine a Labour canvasser talking on the doorstep to those East German families when they settle in on freedom’s side of the wall. “You want to keep more of the money you earn? I’m afraid that’s very selfish. We shall want to tax that away. You want to own shares in your firm? We can’t have that. The state has to own your firm. You want to choose where to send your children to school? That’s very divisive. You’ll send your child where we tell you.” ~ Margaret Thatcher

I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy. ~ W. C. Fields

I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end. ~ Margaret Thatcher

By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments. ~ Thomas Aquinas

Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon. ~ Winston Churchill

A terrorist is an opportunistic warrior. If he can kill the president, he will. But if he can't, he'll kill you. Imagine that. ~ Mark Steyn

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it’s important. ~ Eugene McCarthy

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. ~ Justice Louis Brandeis

Dissent is patriotic only if the dissenter is a patriot. Otherwise it's plain old treason. ~ The People's Cube

Nobody has to, I repeat, live in France. But when you live in France, you respect its rules. That is to say that you are not a polygamist. ... One doesn't practice female genital mutilation on one's daughters, one doesn't slit the throat of the sheep, and one respects the republican rules. ~ Nicolas Sarkozy

Never be separated from the Americans. ~ Winston Churchill

Our [Conservative] gays are more macho than their [Liberal] straights. ~ Ann Coulter

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ~ Patrick Henry

The only colors that matter are red, white, and blue. ~ Bobby Jindal

If Iraq is another Vietnam, 9/11 is another Kennedy assassination. Were Bali, Madrid and London also inside jobs by the Bush Gang? If so, it's no wonder federal spending's out of control. ~ Mark Steyn

No people in history have ever survived, who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. ~ Dean Acheson

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. ~ John Quincy Adams

In my opinion, powder and artillery are the most efficacious, sure, and infallible conciliatory measures we can adopt. ~ John Adams

The winner of the Democratic primary is always the candidate who does the best impersonation of an American. ~ Ann Coulter

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false face for the urge to rule it. ~ H. L. Mencken

Thinking about what you can't control only wastes energy, and creates its own enemy. ~ Worf (Star Trek - The Next Generation)

But we should at least stop fooling ourselves. Jihadists are not going to be wished away, rule-of-lawed into submission, or democratized out of existence. If you really want democracy and the rule of law in places like Pakistan, you need to kill the jihadists first. Or they’ll kill you, just like, today, they killed Benazir Bhutto. ~ Andrew C. McCarthy

Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. ~ The Kneeling Christian

To regret religion is to regret Western civilization. ~ Theodore Dalrymple

Conservative speakers are constantly being physically attacked on college campuses -- including Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and me, among others. Fortunately the attackers are Democrats, so they throw like girls and generally end up with their noses bloodied by pretty college coeds. But that doesn't make it right. ~ Ann Coulter

Don't tase me bro! ~ Andrew Meyer

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land,

But the People in their weeping,
Bare the iron hand,

Beware the People weeping,
When they bare the iron hand. ~ Herman Melville

Gay diversity is like the Village People. You can all wear different stupid outfits as long as you sing the same stupid song. ~ Jack Donovan

The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe. ~ Tom Wolfe

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening. ~ Ann Coulter

These days, the Left advances its causes more effectively through the courts than through elections, for the fairly obvious reason that very few people are dumb enough to vote for this stuff. ~ Mark Steyn

For the gay establishment, the death of right and wrong began when gaining civil rights ceased to be enough. ~ Tammy Bruce

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. ~ George Washington (attributed)

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies. ~ George Washington (First State of the Union Address)

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. ~ Thomas Paine

We don't thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to, and thank God we are efficient. ~ Golda Meir

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of Liberty. ~ John F. Kennedy

We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States. ~ Ann Coulter

We doubt Emma Lazarus ever thought of: Give me your tired, your poor, your Indonesians yearning to be sex slaves for Muslims in Denver. It is called the 'Statue of Liberty', isn't it? ~ Debbie Schlussel

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~ John Stuart Mill

I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days (to talk to liberals). ~ Ann Coulter

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. ~ James Madison

Fear not your enemies for they can only kill you
Fear not your friends for they can only betray you
Fear only the indifferent who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on earth. ~ Edmund Yashinski

We are a nation that has a government — not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. ~ Ronald Reagan

How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us? Okay, let’s have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don’t. Would anyone tolerate a slow spreading cancer because it wasn’t fast spreading? Probably not. You’d want it removed. ~ Cal Thomas

I am convinced, if I kill every reporter, that there'll be news from Hell before breakfast. ~ General William Tecumseh Sherman

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. ~ Tony Parsons, British Journalist

...the aim of a large swathe of the left is not to win the debate but to get it cancelled before it starts. ~ Mark Steyn

I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. ~ Ann Coulter

Two years after 'the day America changed forever,' the culture is in thrall to the same dopey self-delusion it held on Sept. 10, 2001: There are no enemies, just friends we haven't yet apologized to. ~ Mark Steyn

...the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world. ~ Ann Coulter

And yes, I believe our Republic and liberty is in danger. Not in a "doomsday tomorrow! run for your lives!" sort of way. The danger lies, rather, in giving up our birthright for a pot of stew and some bread. ~ KevinQC

Remember, the government apparatchiks have to go through the rest of the house to get to your bedroom. It's best to stop them at the bottom of the driveway. ~ KevinQC

25 Things About Me

1) I don't like cooked onions. Raw onions... great. Cooked onions... blech.

2) I'm shy. Really, I am. And the peanut gallery can just shut up... But seriously - this tendency makes me seem snobbish at times even though I'm not.

3) I don't consider third world countries to be "vacation" destinations.

4) I can't drive a stick shift.

5) I'm a Republican.

6) I love algebra but hate geometry.

7) My mother died when I was 3.

8) I still use the words "whom" and "whomever" when speaking and writing, and I get aggravated when others do not.

9) In fourth grade I was nominated to represent my class on the student council but I was so shy and insecure I wouldn't do it. I still regret that decision.

10) I hate snakes, but once - while holding one - I threatened to throw it at someone.

11) There are a few friends I have not seen in years that if we met today we could pick up in mid conversation as if no time has passed.

12) I never really knew my father. He reached out to me shortly before he died but I chose to ignore him. I don't regret that.

13) There have been two people in my life that I have truly been in love with.

14) I've owned six dogs over the years - 1. A pekingese named Tuffy, 2. A lab mix named Buster, 3. A chow named Chanté, 4. A mutt named Kroger, 5. A chow/shepherd mix named Virginia, and currently 6. A mix of canine and God knows what else named Matilda.

15) In Mrs. Leighton's third grade class, Desi G. used to always borrow my new crayons and without fail break at least one.

16) I like bad SciFi movies. Really, really bad ones. Like Lorenzo Lamas fighting velociraptors bad.

17) I can't ice skate or roller blade. Weak ankles.

18) I always remember my dreams after I wake up, and they're always in full color.

19) I'm clumsy. (That's also a big factor in #17)

20) I was never a Dallas or Dynasty person. I was all Falcon Crest, baby!

21) My favorite color is green.

22) I worked in the hotel and tradeshow biz for eight years and as a result I've seen Las Vegas more than any person should. As a side note, you might think the gay bars there would be hoppin' - but in reality they are bleak and sad.

23) My favorite season is autumn. Second favorite is winter. Spring is okay. Summer sucks.

24) I love vodka. Passionately.

25) I will not swim in anything other than a crystal clear swimming pool. The ocean has sharks and ponds and rivers have snakes and alligators. I regard swimming in them as akin to walking unarmed across the Serengeti. (As for the Serengeti, see #3)

-Obligatory 26th Thing-

26) The first person I came out to in College ended up being totally unable to deal with it and our friendship ended. I still miss him.
