Pop-Tarts and cheap wine

I have found myself at home on a Saturday night with no children. This almost never happens. And although this rare event might seem to be a blessing, what it does is remind me that I have no life. And here on my little corner at the intersection of Nowhere and Where The F**k Is That?!?!, I don't even have the option of a life.

So, tonight for me is:
laundry
music
cheap wine
Harry Potter
Pop-Tarts
the Dean Koontz novel I have been unable to finish for some reason

And as an aside, I love logicians.....sigh......

Just in case you missed some of today's top news (some serious...some not so much...):

Sharpton vows to 'close this city' after officer acquittals - I pray this remains peaceful.
Clinton Tries a Different Debate Debate - What do you think of seeing these two in a Lincoln-Douglas kind of debate today? Debating is not Obama's strength, but this format would be interesting. Hmmm... (Don't miss the comments at the end!!)
Florida lawmakers consider bill banning ornamental testicles - I wanna read that bill.......sooooo badly.
Why it's time to dump the Web 2.0 sobriquet once and for all - Admit it...this was the first thing on your mind when you woke up this morning...
Torch protests planned for Seoul - I say, "Good. Keep it up. But, please, show a little dignity."
Bush tweaks candidates at correspondents' dinner hehe...Cheney's dungeon...hehe
Newlywed Gary Coleman brings marital woes to `Divorce Court' - that would be the same marriage that they kept secret for six months because they wanted to avoid publicity.

Speaking of news stories, if the situation were exactly the same would Brad Pitt have been sentenced to a three-year term in prison for the non-violent, misdemeanor offense of failing to file tax returns on earnings of $38.5 million? Just wondering......

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

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
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
