Joan Baez will be performing at the Newport Folk Festival this year. So will Pete Seger who is currently 90 years young.
Fans will remember that the Newport Folk Festival was where the Robert Zimmerman showed off his electric stuff, in1965, to the great chagrin of the audience.
A personal note here: Joan still looks pretty hot; don’t you [...]

The last day in July in Kansas often means nothing is very green anymore. Usually lack of rain and lots of wind have made our state brownish by now. Not this year! Everything is still green, and although we’ve had some stretches of hot weather, we’ve also had many pleasant and cooler days.
What’s going on [...]

Jessica Simpson’s Ass: Why does it always show up as a search term for this site?
Those of us who can check the blog statistics page note that the search term “Jessica Simpson’s ass” leads to this page. I cannot figure out why and I swear this is not a desperate attempt to get some hits on our way to a new record. Anyone who can enlighten me, would be welcome.

Great Advice for President Obama
We’ve all wondered when this so-called Democratic advantage — majorities in the House, the Senate and the presidency was going to bring the changes and improvements we expected. Well, Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine has asked the questions we want answered and given the advice we all have wanted to give!
President Obama:
You have proven [...]

What’s up with White Men calling minorities “Racist”?
The Gates arrest incident and Obama terming the situation as “stupidity”, has prompted conservative host, Glenn Beck, to call Obama a “racist”. What is up with poor persecuted white men calling any minority a “racist”?
I cannot understand this. I get it on how people want things to be fair. But, calling people names for what [...]

The Dept of Homeland Security, Sans Confusion, Anxiety and Fear?
Janet Napolitano, Head of the Dept of Homeland Secuity, on Wednesday said, “For too long, we’ve treated the public as a liability to be protected rather than as an asset in our nation’s collective security. This approach, unfortunately, has allowed confusion, anxiety and fear to linger.” Well, Janet, your points are exactly 100% true. Do [...]

This is an important subject — diversity! Accepting it adds to our lives in ways we can measure and in others we can’t. What are the many areas of diversity we should embrace?
And what thoughts do you have today?

Please tell us, what do you want? ? ?
We (Well, I) do watch our blog stats pretty closely. Wednesday was a good day for us in terms of hits. Wednesday is usually our best day — my significant other says it is due to Wednesday being a day that is boring day at work. She may be correct.
Do you have suggestions that would [...]

Why No Death Penalty for Scott Roeder?
The death penalty will not be considered for Scott Roeder whom many eye-witnesses attest murdered George Tiller, M.D. in cold blood in his Church on 05-31-09. My question is: why not?
While Nola Foulston likes to talk tough, it is my opinion she is a pretty conservative in the sense that she does not like to take political [...]

The Rorschach outed by Wikipedia
Wikipedia has posted images of the Rorschach test with common answers on-line. These actions are serious copyright violations (the image provided here is not a real Rorschach image).
I have read an opinion that the sooner psychology gives up research on the Rorschach, the sooner it will realize that it can be a serious discipline.
I used [...]

Newman. You’re invited to leave town…
It is interesting that Scott Roeder is saying that Operation Rescue took over $1,000 in donations from him. Newman is denying finding Scott in their data-base.
I wonder if Troy Newman (pictured) will decide that now might be a good time for him to get out of Wichita. What purpose does the scum have here now [...]

The Implicit Association Test as a B.S. Repellent
The Gates arrest controversy brought with it a storm of comments from conservatives as to how racism is dead and that we can now move forward with the meritocricy that has been true for a long time in this race-blind country. Yep, you betcha. The only problem with this assertion? That’s right, it is [...]

Today is the day of the confirmation vote, the day President Obama’s first nominee to the United States Supreme Court becomes Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Today is also the date of the preliminary hearing of domestic terrorist Scott Roeder who assassinated Dr. Tiller.
What else is on today’s agenda?
