Photographer Bobby Neel Adams has a web gallery of images, including a set of what he calls “age-maps” which are created by photomontaging images of the same person at radically different ages.
At first they look kind of cool, but the more I look at them the more they creep me out. Really, really creep me [...]

So we all know Bush broke the law, and illegally allowed the NSA to spy on American citizens. He says that “the practice is limited to occasions when an individual in the U.S. is communicating with someone overseas who has a known link to Al Qaeda, other terrorist groups or their supporters.”
However, the LA Times [...]

I’ve written quite a bit about my shock, awe, and frank disgust at how the Bush administration (and frankly, the FBI under Clinton were bad at this too) get away with pushing what are essentially police state tactics by fear mongering.
For me it always comes back to that Ben Franklin quote about people who are [...]

…some photos.
They wound is very minor, but the pictures are a bit on the gross side, so I’m not using thumbnails.
First, here’s how it looks professionally dressed by the hospital staff: hospital_dessing.jpg
The first closeup, while a little blurry (I suck with the one-handed macro lens), clearly shows the depth of the cut, right through [...]

As I mentioned below, Trish made these for the holidays and they were YUMMY. The recipe is from Chatelaine (the recipe there has nutrient information as well, but you may not want to know). The bourbon we used was Woodford Reserve.
Southern pecan-and-bourbon bites
Pecans and bourbon mixed into a buttery cookie make a sought-after addition to [...]

Happy Holidays, to you all. (Oh, and if you have a problem with “Happy Holidays”, then I have just the site for you.)
Things went pretty well here for Christmas–I just put up a ton of Sarah-based pictures on her blog, so that the family back in Ontario could follow along the first Christmas that Sarah [...]

You know how Amazon keeps track of things you’ve purchased, and can send you emails of the form “if you liked X, then you’re sure to also like our new product Y that just came out”?
Apparently there is either A) some kind of weird snag with the recommendation engine, or B) there are vast, secret, [...]

1) Meditating on the amusing fact that the judge in the Pennsylvania “intelligent design” case was appointed by Bush. This puts a whole different spin on my notion that the “engage the base” machine would be going after the judge.
2) Reading all the reactions to the decision, summarized so well at The Questionable Authority. “The [...]

So, I’m still recovering from my scandal screed, but I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the underlying question of why this series of scandal after scandal hasn’t seemed to hurt the Bush administration. My default theory is that something like 51% of Americans are crazy, but maybe there’s actually something deeper going on [...]

From CNN, with bolding by me:
“Intelligent design” cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.
Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum must include [...]

Wow. After that dip into the pool of Evil, I need something lighter to go to sleep on.
How about some Narnia movie fun.
First, if you haven’t seen the Narnia rap skit from SNL go now and watch it. I haven’t watched SNL in probably a decade, and last watched it regularly when Dana Carvey and [...]

So, look, I’ve been good about this, right? I’ve gone several weeks without a rant. It’s been a while since I went off on how bad the Bush administration is. I haven’t quoted DeLong’s Theory that “The Bush administration is not only worse than you imagine even after taking account of the fact that it [...]

OK, go here. How awesome is that? Alan Rickman reading you one of Shakespeare’s more famous sonnets? After seeing this on Cherie Priest’s LJ, I just went out Saturday and bought this CD. (I can do that, because Halifax has shops like The Madrigal).
Man, there’s a lot of good stuff on there. Branagh, John Hurt, [...]

After the jump, one of those “a little more me in the monitors” memes I picked up from Mal’s LJ.
