They are the most breathtaking place in this state, so what could possibly make you want to avoid them? Well, how do you feel about millions of Frankenstein mosquitoes that […]

We Are All One America

Staff of President Clinton’s One America Initiative, the Initiative on Race Picture credit: Public Domain Watching the returns for Florida last night was a mixed blessing. Most importantly to us, Amendment One passed with 75% of the voters in this state approving it. And thankfully, the elections are over and the dirty nasty commercials […]

Traditional Whaling in Taiji Picture credit: Public Domain If you have had your absolute fill of depressing news about our wonderful world of animals, you can smile today!

The Constitution of the United States Of America: Public Domain A WP friend sent me some links yesterday that he thought I might find interesting. He knows that I am passionate about animals and their safekeeping on this Planet and wondered if this might be something I would want to do a story about it, or at least to be made […]

Daniel Andreas San Diego Picture credit: Unknown On our news this morning was the story of a very dangerous suspect, being sought by the FBI in Hawaii, for some bombings in California.

Our baby Breanna at four months~ As you may already know, we have an Airedale named Breanna, who is unashamedly, the center of our universe.

This will be an unusually brief posting today, with no picture, because it would be too disgusting. While strolling through my Reader this morning, a posting came up that stopped me dead in my tracks. I could not go any further, until I went and read about it. As implausible as it may seem, mankind has […]
