Your child, final decision maker…
So at the moment I can’t sleep (stilla bit ill) and I figured I’d go haunt the only good feminist insanity message board left. I couldn’t remember the link so I did a google search and found myself via some clicks to a new place. Now, I haven’t been through it all yet, but one section…

Some cool stuff to read…
A few windows I have open at the moment… The more complicated discussion of why wings work – and why your 6th grade textbook lied to you Camo Specs Online – “official” registry of ‘Mech paint schemes Some guy built his kids a BattleMech treehouse.

We lost on purpose, really….
You know, the elections have been a funny and informative time. I am, obviously, happy that the president was re-elected and I have been enjoying some of the resultant thrashing about greatly. You might remember that “screw ’em” Kos was a huge supporter of Kerry, raising money and promising all and sundry that mana woudl…
