Smart Guy Says Another Smart Thing …
Annette | November 30, 2005
Gore Vidal, interviewed in The Nation, November 7, 2005:
“Bush is like a plane of glass. You can see all the worms turning around in his head at any moment.”
Ever feel like this?

God Talks To Fuckface
Annette | November 29, 2005
So Fuckface thinks he’s “God’s man, at this time, fulfilling His purpose,” thereby justifying this abominable tragedy he’s precipitated in Iraq?
I’ll bet. I’ll just bet.
Here’s what I think is really going on –
I bet Cheney had the White House wired, and, every once in a while, when Fuckface is sitting there, wondering where [...]
Adding Up, Counting Down (2)
Annette | November 29, 2005
I don’t really know how much more there is to this story, because parts of it keep dancing into the spotlight in my mind.
(For instance, the first cop in this story, the twin whose son died – he met a woman in Al-Anon when he was still married to his wife, and she, the new [...]
Kerry and combat and why are those kids there?
Annette | November 28, 2005
A couple of months ago, Little Boy and I were discussing the 2004 elections, and how the matter of Kerry’s military service got so corrupted. This is what I wrote to Little Boy:
Listen, over the weekend, given the celebration involving the fireworks with Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes in Aspen, I took the opportunity to [...]
Adding Up, Counting Down (1)
Annette | November 24, 2005
This is a story that’s best told in numerical order, because it’s too complicated to follow any other way.
It’s a tiny story and a huge one, too. I wish I could go back and watch it all happen now, so that I could somehow tell the players to stop, to turn around, that life [...]
They’re All Little Towns …….
Annette | November 23, 2005
I love my little town.
Granted, a population of 85,000 isn’t exactly “little,” but those of us lucky enough to have grown up in a genuine little town have the gift – if we choose to use it – of making anywhere we are into a little town. This sweet gift has been one of [...]
The Return Of Little Boy ……
Annette | November 22, 2005
I hadn’t heard from him in a while – a week, maybe longer – and I was almost wondering. But, my Little Boy is a man with a long shadow, so I knew he’d return.
Sure enough, he surfaced this a.m., and his words to me are so shining and bright and right, [...]
Dumb guy says one smart thing ….
Annette | November 20, 2005
Regarding the legal challenge to the demand made by him and other religious goofballs in Dover, PA, that “Intelligent Design” (which isn’t) be taught alongside evolution in the Dover public school system, Pastor (I love that term – it’s so weaselly, since it’s not quite “Reverend” or “Minister” or “Doctor,” so it’s a fair bet [...]
Twatzilla ……..
Annette | November 18, 2005
Oh, yes, Twatzilla is real.
I own her.
Live in fear ……………..
Driving forward, looking back …..
Annette | November 18, 2005
There’s nothing I enjoy more than watching a bunch of well-fed old white guys sitting around claiming that our troops must stay in Iraq because “cutting and running sends the wrong message”.
I am, yes, it’s true, easily amused……………
Dear God, take me now ………..
Annette | November 18, 2005
That’s what I found myself thinking as I watched “Vera Drake” today while lounging around, enjoying the sun pouring in, the gorgeous foliage out there, the dogs going hither and yon on their daily rounds that ensure the safety of the planet, munching on a chicken sandwich while sprawled on a big couch, too [...]
My New Hero
Annette | November 17, 2005
Take a bow, Jack Murtha. You do Pennsylvania proud.
Loving Thugs, Watching The Sky ….
Annette | November 17, 2005
Winter arrived today, swept in on a wildass rainstorm, spinning winds, and a thirty-five degree drop in temperature from noon to midnight. It was a day when everyone was talking about the weather, and no one approved of it.
I hung out with my favorite thugs while the Tarzan Wagon got an oil change [...]
“Hi, Eye Guy,” said I……
Annette | November 9, 2005
So, there I was, sitting in a comfortable examining room, my contact lenses out, the preliminary tests done, and in slammed Darrell, who’s solid and handsome and always beautifully dressed, holding out his hand to me, smiling. He is the man charged with keeping these fabulous eyes safe.
We catch up on the year plus [...]
Tonight, in Mr. Jefferson’s Commonwealth……..
Annette | November 8, 2005
we have a Democrat governor-elect, and the rightwingnut asshole who was ever so ready to make sure women were forced to bear children they didn’t want has been so trounced, he’ll spend the rest of the year licking himself – and discovering that he likes it.
Now, the troglodyte Jerry Kilgore, who ran a filthy, [...]
The Best Boyfriend On Earth
Annette | November 8, 2005
It was a summer afternoon, a Saturday, the day grown long, everyone gone from the house, and I had had him on my mind all day. Nothing specific, just that every thought turned around and went back to him.
Like this:
“How about grilling lobsters tonight?” HWWNBO had asked me mid-afternoon, when we were discussing dinner, [...]
Freedom of Speech
Annette | November 6, 2005
There are people out there, smart, brave people who know how to get a message across. They know how to tell the truth.
They’re growing in numbers, and they will not be stopped. These are the pamphleteers of our time, in the finest Tom Paine tradition.
Take a bow, you true American patriots, you. [...]
The women come and go, speaking of death and penises …..
Annette | November 5, 2005
There was almost too much light today. Hazy, slow, a torpid light that dulled the sanctity of the turning leaves and left me standing out there in a t-shirt and jeans, wondering why it felt like summer when it was supposed to be autumn.
The others thought the same thing, as we parted ways with [...]
In the matter of Irv Libby, and how we’re gonna get hijacked yet again
Annette | November 3, 2005
For the first time in our nation’s history since 1875, a major official within the White House was indicted. Ulysses S. Grant was President the last time this happened.
Adding to the seemingly unending shame of this administration is today’s arraignment of Scooter Libby. He was, it was noted, allowed to resign, instead of [...]
