Man, I've got some catching up to do

Okay, so apparently I've got some serious catching up to do on my football.

I've been able to keep up with most of the Man Utd news - I mean, hey, I've got my priorities, right? But most of the rest of the teams have been pretty much lost to me over the past three months. And there's so much going on.

So I watched my boys beat Boca today, and then I started watching Bayern Munich vs. Milan for the other Audi Cup semi to see who'll meet Man Utd tomorrow for the final. I thought, "Yay! I can watch my favorite team and my favorite player! If Bayern wins, that is." Well, it turns out that Luca Toni's been demoted to the reserves - AND he had four other teams that wanted him, but he'd opted to stay at Bayern - only to come back from playing in the Confederations Cup with Italy and get demoted?!? Wtf?! Milan wanted him, for piss' sake! All I can say is, "What the hell were you thinking, Luca?"

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
