It's been a long time since I've done a meme, but this looks like a fun one. I've been tagged by Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon, for the following A to Z meme: Accent: Peculiarly my own. Western, with a tinge of European parents. Booze: Chocolate milkshake. Chore I Hate:

I clean.   They make things dirty.  It's their job, and they do it well.   I look forward to the end of spring break and, with it, my chance to return to my delusion that I can actually have a clean house.

I had a wonderful law school flashback when I visited Michelle Malkin’s blog just now.  She has a picture of an anti-War protestor.  Can you spot what’s wrong with this picture? As Malkin rightly points out, this protestor got just a little confused with the Mercedes symbol: When I was

Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun!
