I know that things keep getting political around here, and I sort of apologize for that. It’s just hard to feel really strongly about something and not think about it all the time. And one of the things I was thinking about recently was the fact that so many of us Dems are threatening to [...]

Reality
As you may know, I’ve lived without cable for all of my adult life, “adult life” being defined as the time since I started signing leases and paying rent. I made the decision to abandon television during the harrowing days of the 2000 election. I was a recent college grad, and I was working at [...]

I suppose I’m a Red, then
I had an eppiphany today. I’m really a Republican. Yesterday, I picked up keys to my new place and started moving in. Yet, I still have the keys to the cottage, and I’ll have them until I move this weekend. That means that for the entire duration of this week, I will be a person [...]

In a cynical mood
After packing in all the activities of this weekend, I feel like it was at least 3 years since I left work on Friday. On Monday, I became a last-minute hostess for a barbecue when the original hostess couldn’t make it to her own party. I ran to Stop & Shop to get some last [...]

I weep for the future
Every day, I see signs that the world is deeply in the shitter. (Pardon my French.) There’s global warming, an unprovoked war that has killed thousands of people, a dollar that is barely worth the paper it’s printed on… My liberal little heart could go on and on. However, I’m also an audaciously hopeful person [...]

Hilary Tried to Win Friends With Salad
I think Clinton has officially lost the internet vote. And Barack Obama has won it. Rhetorical Question: If Obama wins the Presidency, how many years will it take for Firefox to recognize the spelling of his name?

Take back the loser
I wasn’t going to dignify Valentine’s Day with a blog post, because I’ve always felt “meh” about it. When I was single, it sucked, when I was in a relationship, it was a day where there’s pressure to do something even if you just want to stay in and read a book. Now that I’m [...]

What’s a girl to do?
Say you go on a date with a guy who is in every way qualified to be the next Mr. Noelle Tannenbaum. Lotsa check marks in the “pro” column. Yet… He supports Ron Paul.

Tuesday Eleven plus one
I can’t get motivated to work right now. I just finished lunch, I’m going to see if writing 11 12 random things about me will inspire me to write the company newsletter for the week. (Which is the thing I do at work on Tuesdays.) There’s some Mardi Gras stuff happening in New Orleans right [...]

Roe v. Wade day
The other day when I mentioned I was going to revert to hard-hitting political analysis, I was kidding. However, in the spirit of today’s 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I’d like to participate in the “Why I vote Pro-Choice” memes. However, time constraints are keeping me from writing something something of my own. Instead, [...]
