In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , we serve the church by holding "callings". We are "called" to serve in various capacities within our "ward" (congregation), all the way from childrens' Sunday school ("Primary") teacher all the way up to President of the Church (the head honcho in SLC). The time commitment
What that interview showed me is that Letterman really doesn't have the skills to conduct a political or current-events-oriented interview. He talks to celebs about projects, books, music, and love lives. That's his bread and butter, not hard-hitting political commentary and rhetoric. The interview went poorly, I agree. They were coming from two separate fields of study. O'Reilly gets off on punching people in the gut verbally... Letterman just ca
Final entry, barring any complications... Well, feeling good, and restarting my physical conditioning regimen over the weekend. AKA going for a jog in the AM, yo. (Due to physical inability to maintain exercise, I have put on a few pounds.) Wound sites have healed up nicely with minimal scarring. Basically just a pinprick hole and a pinching or gathering of the skin around the incisions. If I didn't know what I was looking
does anyone else find number six as sexy/hot as I do? Gee, you tell me. Absolutely marvelous. It is better to look good than to feel good... She looks good and makes me feel good. Smokin' hot. I even think Grace Park is hot for a Korean girl.
Battlestar Galactica is the best show on television! And I am very excited to have it back tonight. I, too, have my DVR set for the whole rest of the season. To answer Zoomba's questions... Which way will the baby go? The baby will be a Cylon. No doubt about it. Come to think of it, why don't the human-looking Cylons breed wit
BenUser: What makes the Abramoff scandal so serious is how severely it compromised our democracy -- the fact that big money was able to influence law makers to the extent they did. What makes lobbying in general so seriously wrong is that special interests can throw money at whores... I mean, politicians... and get them to roll over
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who received at least $68,941 According to NPR, Reid is refusing to return his tainted money because "it came from the Indians, not from Jack Abramoff." Priceless.
Xtine: I should pick it up again, but out here in rural Minnesota... X-X-SPC: ONULUN NALSHEE GA, OTTO SOOM NEE KA? How did you know ou
COL Gene, you are not going to win any friends or influence any people with articles that are re-flingings of old poo. And while I appreciate the link(s) showing me where you get your information, the links also show me where you get your information. How reliable and impartial is "howbushoperates.info", anyway? Here's the mission statement and bio from its anonymous author: This website is not written lightly. I am a computer scientist. I have
NAPUN HAKSENG EE-YAY-YO! (I AM A BAD STUDENT!)
Oh... my... goodness... I just started five grueling weeks in a Korean language refresher course here in suburban Baltimore. Yikes, double yikes, triple yikes. Work's not insisting that I do this; it's a "recommended course of study" since I am a "Korea-centric intel analyst". First of all, let me say that I was no great Korean li
So I used a bazooka to kill a fly. Sorry, Jim! >shrug You should find those links useful. And not quite as wordy as I was just now.
Even the Keating Five scandal took out some Dems and Repubs alike. The only one to escape unscathed was John McCain. Keating Five article . Dennis DeConcini's career was over. We'll just see how the dust settles on this one.

Earlier tonight I received an email from a friend in Pennsylvania wondering how I got my government job. I had also had a conversation this afternoon with a guy at work who is in the Navy and planning to get out. He wanted some advice, too. So I sense a need... Below is the email that I sent back to my buddy Gavin. Hey Gavin,
I am considering relocating so I can vote for you! Whaddaya say, Gideon? Should we stuff the ballot boxes for you? : : BTW, I found Lefors on the map. Nope, never been there, btu I think I have seen signs leading people there. Many... many... people... Incid
I am very comfortable (as a single, white female) walking around areas of southeast on my own (barracks row, potomac avenue). I am surprised to hear that. Honestly I am. I was warned even before I got out here not to live in the District. Don't be swayed by the cheap housing or the proximity to hi
Lefors, huh? I may have actually been there. Good luck, Gid/Tim. Best of luck indeed. If your speaking is as good as your writing, your hat will represent well in the ring. Justice, who writes under the pen name Gideon MacLeish, is running on a platform of restoring rights to individuals as established u
the UN will offer millions in "aid", but in the end, nothing will change... Just like in the "USA For Africa" 80s. In this week's interview with Bono, Time magazine quotes him as saying the millions raised in USA For Africa and Band-Aid only went to pay that year's interest payments on Ethiopia's IMF loan.
Tova: We could always go back to the "wet nurse" idea... Of course I didn't know about the breast milk banks back then, if they even existed. Sounds like you and Dharma could have qualified for the job! Dharma: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 cla

Marion Barry has served in the city of Washington DC for so long that it's a clear connection between his leadership and the state of affairs in the District... He's made his bed and he's now lying in it. From today's Washington Post : D.C. Council
An update: T plus 10 days. The oozing from the incision sites has all but stopped. The left incision site was still "weeping", as it were, and I still have bandaids on both sides. But this morning the bandaids came off clean, so I am not as worried about blood or other post-surgical wound site fluids escaping into my undies. I am still feeling lumps to either side of the scrote, just under the incision sites. But that's normal, according to the surgical literature.
Military housing rarely has room to store it or storage that is appropriate. And, to add insult to injury, your food storage won't get shipped with your household goods. The movers won't ship "perishable" items. So you'll have to box up those 15 crates of pasta and load 'em into the back of the minivan.</f
