The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    The Bush Version of the Lightbulb Joke

    posted Tue, 08/02/05

    This comes via "The Cranky Liberal". Cranky is the sort of political blogger I enjoy--he doesn't resort to name calling,he is courteous (usually) to people with other viewpoints, and he has a sense of humor. The only thing worse than a name calling, comment bashing blog is one with long, earnest HUMORLESS essays. And, as you can see here, that's not his style at all....

    "How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to replace opposing points of view, and he a light
    bulb? The Answer is TEN…

    1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed,

    2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed,

    3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb,

    4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness,

    5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb,

    6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner “Bulb Accomplished”,

    7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was literally “in the dark” the whole time,

    8. One to viciously smear #7,

    9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along,

    10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country."
