yay...

Nothing makes me happier than finding new and unimportant links on the web. Ok, let's be honest, I have an excessive nosey gene. I am nosey about EVERYTHING, even the most unimportant mundane piece of minutia that has some relation to the lives of others. I have no idea where this need to know comes from, but alas, it's my cross to bear. So.........on to the link I am currently in love with : http://www.grocerylists.org/ . Yep... you can go look at the grocery lists of others, on their own paper even, I am giddy.

I promise to start updating more soon. I am going to move the blog over to the new site when it is opened. It will be much like the old one, except with out all the sordid history. Thanks for remindeng me of that this morning, Claire. Wanderlustgirl.com is in the pipes, ready to emerge. Well, almost.

the right link at the right time.

Ok... I was getting stressed out after reading the news this morning, I needed some comic relief. Please send the end of this post for an interesting link to an interesting person who while strange, at least is not trying to keep the rest of the country locked into the 1950's when Father and the President knew best.

First the bad, am I the only one who feels this awful, sinking feeling everytime I read of something else BWG (I put his name in backwards - think residentpay of the nitedua tatessay) so I don't get googled by the SS and get in trouble, accomplishes something. (Sorry for the loong rambling sentence.) Anyhow...it seems like everytime I read the news, he has somehow managed to get things to go his way, and I feel physically ill. We are going to end up drilling for oil in the protected Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, when he first mentioned this during his first term, I thought he would get laughed out of office, but now the senate is going along with him. Have you seen the pictures? I mean really, google it! How could you destroy that place that resnates with a harmony between land, sky and life that we all long for? I can't even articulate how nauseated it makes me. BUT then, he wins again and it just gets worse.

Now he has convinced the UN to get behind him in once again stymieing the advancement of stem cell research. While I have personal reservations about human cloning, on a spiritual and just plain paranoia level, I can't see the problem with replicating the conditions for retrieval of those very important cells for research and curing people who need it desperately. All I can think to say is uggh or maybe arrgh.

I think what bothers me most about him is that he is making all the world's Christians out to be these horrible creatures who narrowly determine what is right and wrong, black and white. Sometimes I feel like I need to start a campaign to convince the rest of the world that we are not all BWG supporters, or nearly as cruel, close-minded, or money hungry as he is. Actually, let me say that Mel Gibson did us no favors last year either.
