I'm not begging off here. I just want to keep y'all more up to date than had been my wont in the past. I have a couple of posts percolating, but the current events of the world are flying fast and I want to be able to comment on at least something. So bear with me, and watch this space for new devel... Comment - Like

Because it's Friday and because I feel in a very Who-y mood, I give you the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra and their performances to date. More than a little fitting that a collaborative performance of "New" Who music is performed by participants at various points in time and space. Comment - Like

Any number of characters in the cow manure pit that is political punditry whom I know to be capable of stringing English sentences together have been driving me up a wall this election season over just one single thing.

Yes, I know what it looks like. No, it is not 'shopped. What you're looking at is God's own Death Star, Saturn's moon Mimas.
I'm wondering whether you'd call this a "Death Star" or an "Everlasting Life Star," or what.

For a variety of reasons, I have avoided talking about the Fr. Corapi affair.
