Republican still at it--senility sets in?

I have noted before a stupid remark from Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT). He's been continuing in this vein, sayng terrorists "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night," and making other inappropriate remarks. It sounds like he's getting senile.

(not) Weird websearch of the day

The websearch itself isn't weird. What's weird is that this blog is number one on the list.

This car runs only at night.

Pre-order She's Not the Man I Married

My friend Helen Boyd's new book, She's Not the Man I Married, is available for pre-order on Amazon. I can't wait to read it.

But I'll have to.

A cute, little, red BMW convertible is a very nice surprise.

Sadder websearch

A few weeks ago I posted an article about a sad websearch that found my blog, transgender mary carillo. I explained that Mary is not transgender, or transsexual, just because she doesn't act girly.

Now someone has reached my blog searching for mary carillo lesbian. Oy.

No, Mary is not lesbian either. She's married to a man. End of that story also.

Scalia at the ACLU???

I see Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, perhaps the most conservative of all the Justices, and certainly the most outspoken, will be at the ACLU conference in the fall. He will be having a "conversation" about civil liberties with ACLU president Nadine Strossen. That should be interesting. He's been a strong opponent of the ACLU's positions in a number of areas, but has also been a strong backer in others.

Another milestone

Lately I haven't been posting as much as before, and my average visitor count is down. Nevertheless, this blog has now passed 9,000 visitors. Thanks to all who have hung in there. I will be posting more, but I've got to get this office cleaned up.
