I love Patty Griffin. And just when I think she can’t top what she’s already done, she’s done it with “Children Running Through.” The CD is by far the most musically diverse of her CD’s and her incredible song writing shines through with every track.
The CD opens with the first of […]

Shortly before the Civil War tension was high in Congress reflected the overall mood of the nation. After fighting broke out in Lawrence, Kansas between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces supporters of both sides began having it out in Congress in a war of words. Rhetoric and tempers flared.

In a reasonable semblance of chutzpah, the Senate today (3/29) voted - finally, to put a timetable on troop withdrawal. The bill if passed would force Bush to withdraw troops within 120 days of the passage of the bill, and cease operations by this time next year. However exciting this moment of clarity […]

My wife bought me a Creative Labs Zen Mp3 player for my birthday. It’s the most wonderful present I ever got, next to her and my children. She knew there were two criteria for me: a really good sounding mp3 player with enough memory to hold a substantial portion of my huge […]

Congressman Kuhl,
I’m curious as to why you voted down the US Troop Readiness, Veteran’s Health and Iraq Acountability Act.

I’ve been a bad Joan Osborne Fan. A VERY bad Joan Osborne fan. In the not too distant past, I worshipped the ground Joan walked on. My neighbor Doug told me that she’d come out with a country album so, after getting over the initial shock of her having put out […]
