The last week has been full of news of Sen Tom Cotton (douche bag-AR), the freshman Senator from Arkansas who seems not to have a perfect understanding of his place in the United States government. Worse yet is the fact that my two Senators proved themselves every bit as worthless

Another orbit around the sun.
Today is my birthday which in the grand scheme of things is not really important-and tomorrow is the 4TH anniversary of the Tohoku Tsunami which is. If had not given up booze for lent ( and believe me I think its a big mistake tonight)-I would probably be drunk off

And yes I stole that line from Wonkette. Leonard Nimoy died today. For a true Star Trek fan like me-its kind of like the end of the world. Yes you knew this day was coming, but you did not want to think about it, and now that it is finally here,

The S.O. works for a German company. She, in the last year, was moved up to a position where she works enough hours to have to pay German taxes-and to receive German benefits, particularly German health insurance. For me, it is yet more proof that the nay-sayers in the US

I am back in “terrorized” Europe-having spent the last week in the Whining States of America, who-if judging by the news coverage- is collectively losing its mind about what’s going on in Europe. And let me be clear, I am not in anyway diminishing the severity of the incidents that

And what a sad week it has been too. The news from Paris is sad, tragic and sadly, all too expected in this day and age. In solidarity with the right of a free press to publish what it wants to and not be subject to censorship at the point of a

Happy New Year to all. Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! Kotoshi mo yorishku onegai shimasu. I , unfortunately had a quiet new years, definitely not the one I wanted to spend skiing. You can thank the S.O. for that because of continued inabilty to make a decision and her repeated failure to
