The first time I voted (in 1996), I remember looking at the big piece of paper in front of me and wondering who all those people were and why I hadn’t heard of them or their competitions. I made completely uneducated guesses at who I should vote for because I didn’t know about any of […]
Sharing Spin
I have a friend who sent me a link the other day to a video on the Internet. She and I are probably on opposite ends of the political spectrum. This video (http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036) is extremely critical of the candidate I support. While I value her friendship and the fact that we can share things like […]
World Swim Against Malaria
I will be swimming April 5th to help fight malaria! Please donate here: http://www.worldswimagainstmalaria.com/jen52. Every $5 donation buys a mosquito net to help fight malaria – a very preventable, treatable disease that kills far too many people every year.
Hillary’s Best Argument
It seems that Hillary Clinton’s best current argument for why voters should vote in favor of her is that she can win in the “big” states. Frankly, this is (at best) just plain silly. Right now, the voters are voting for the Democratic presidential nominee. Her only *real* opponent is Barack Obama. If we are […]
Why I can’t trust Hillary Clinton to create a good health care plan
I’ve heard Hillary repeatedly claim that her healthcare plan is superior to all others, and it has sat rather uncomfortably with me since the beginning, especially because of a fact stated in Michael Moore’s film Sicko. According to Michael Moore’s website, Hillary Clinton became the second largest recipient in the Senate of health care industry […]
This is great!
I’m sure this has been out there for a while, but it’s funny.
Why I do not support Hillary
I wish I could support Hillary Clinton for President. Not only do I think the time has come for the USA to be governed by a woman, I think someone with her values could be very valuable to our country. However, since she was criticised for her role (and input) in the health care reformation […]

Really funny . . . just go here.
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 2
Earlier this year I wrote about how Jerry and I have bought an engine-less lawnmower in Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 1. I guess the next logical thing to write about is the car. Since we live in Wisconsin, it’s nearly impossible to fill up a hydrogen, biodiesel, or other alternate-fuel using car. Jerry had […]
Oh, Henry!
We saw Henry Rollins do his spoken word thing tonight at the Rave. It was amazing! Henry spoke for three hours – if only the Rave had seating that didn’t bruise your tailbone! Let me take you back to the beginning of my Rollins experiences. It was the early ’90’s and MTV still (sometimes – […]
