One of the advantages to reading ***Dave’s blog…

… is that it acts like my own personal weather forecast. ***Dave talks about the weather fairly often and when he does I know that within four or five days we’ll be experiencing the same weather here. For example, here’s what he wrote four days ago:

Momma’s having a Birthday!

Today she turns a youthful 74-years-old. Go drop by her blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!

***Dave Does the Blog evolves into WordPress.

I get all busy over the weekend and ***Dave goes and switches blogging platforms on me. He’s made the jump to WordPress from MovableType and it’s a much needed improvement. WordPress has come a long way from back when I tested it out as a replacement for MT. Depending on how much it’ll cost to . . . → Read More: ***Dave Does the Blog evolves into WordPress.

BREAKING NEWS: Michigan’s Upper Peninsula secedes and no one really cares.

Somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if this were true. Satire by SEB regular Stormin’ Norman over at his blog:

A shout out to Global Atheist

Wanted to give a little link lovin’ to the folks at Global Atheist.

Momma’s on a rant!

If you’ve ever wondered where I get my ability to tear people a new asshole when I’m worked up, well, I get it from my mother. She doesn’t normally do political posts on her blog, but she got worked up enough today to let loose with both barrels:

I am so tired of hearing ‘what . . . → Read More: Momma’s on a rant!

The best explanation I’ve read for the Wall Street Meltdown.

I said before that I don’t really understand the economics of the financial crisis the country is currently in the midst of, but Jim Wright over at Stonekettle Station sets me straight:

Café Philos gave us an award and I’m terribly late in mentioning it.

This is embarrassing. Paul Sunstone over Café Philos was cool enough to make up his own Sun Mountain awards to hand out to other blogs he thought were award-worthy and on May 24th, 2008 he awarded the 10th one to SEB. I did notice at the time and I sent him a thank you note . . . → Read More: Café Philos gave us an award and I’m terribly late in mentioning it.
