I don't have sympathy here for Craig either because he's still a lying, hypocrital, politician and there's little doubt as to what his intentions were. I just don't think he had done anything illegal, and I hate seeing the legal system brazenly misused in such a discriminatory fashion.

The eunuchs in the Republican Palace Guard are all played by closeted homosexuals, or so it seems.

was it just the Philly channel reporting that the Senator was claiming the footplay was due solely to his "'wide stance'" ??

I snorted coffee all over my new quilt with that one. I don't much care what a person's interests are. I do much care when they make lame excuses and otherwise try to evade, escape, and expunge. Especially when they've been fairly awful to other people based on those people's interests. Or tried to legislate other people's interests.

::pats much loved soapbox, then pushes it back under the bed::

I'm now of the opinion that the entire Republican party is composed of closeted homosexuals.

The Freepers are bleating that the gays are infiltrating the GOP so that they can pull these hijinx to make them look bad. Really.

Our lunch was frozen pizza. Backpack shopping with a three year old: Dante's fourth circle of Hell. We have obtained a wee, toddler size backpack (Cars) and a decent, square, Spider-Man insulated lunch box. I want to find a little bento box that will fit inside with a cool pack--since the school doesn't refrigerate lunches.

That's a hard one. I want to keep public restrooms free of lewd behavior but how do you go about it without stings like this? Is initiating lewd behavior illegal?

We have regular stings here in town in a park like this case but they're mainly busting guys they catch in the act, rather than soliciting.

Redesigning prescription pill bottles. I'm kinda salty that Target got the patent, since these are changes that should be implemented in all pharmacies.

I've finally started keeping a prescription manila folder--one one side is the detailed info sheets, and on the other is a calendar where I note when each one is refilled. My pharmacy has a pretty good system, except the info sheets don't have all the info that's also on the label--and with nasal sprays, for instance, the label goes on the box which I don't want to keep, as opposed to on the bottle which I obviously do.

Today is a day I think in which I shall test whether one actually can expire from boredom.

So he is sitting on the toilet like those annoying men on the bus who take up more than one seat speading their legs so wide.

I don't particularly think he did anything illegal until there was actually lewd behavior or money changing hands. However, the guy is a dumbass and his excuses sound like a child's.

I think for Halloween I'll be the Come-Out-Of-The-Closet-Republican-Politician Fairy.

No, it was on the morning radio show here too.
