Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
There has been little free time of late-between the preparations for a fairly large meeting this week-made more complex because of the sequester and the rape of our travel money; my Hebrew classes and the general nonsense. It has meant I have had to put together a string of electronic

Well I sure did not see that coming: I was not expecting an Argentinian pope-and it strikes me as an interesting way to for the church to once again tell American Catholics to STFU. “Pick a pope from America? Just not your America!” Oh, and while this new Pope Francis

Even when its bad-its still pretty good. No matter where you get it. Well, another day less till I am paid less for working the same amount of time. I’m just f*cking thrilled about it. I am even more (un) thrilled about the stupid reactions of people who ought to

The douchebags elected representatives in Congress have once again failed miserably at their jobs.. You will notice the Countdown clock to your left, counting down the days till my furlough and or layoff-whichever comes first. One of my favorite writers, Charles Pierce has summed up the situation quite well: Whatever
