Tuesday
Today wasn’t bad. A little on the cool side, but there were blue skies. And, there was a good episode of 24 to cap off the evening. And did I mention the homemade chocolate chip cookies? No? Oh… Well, throw those into the mix, too.

  • and I have been chatting about adding new icons to our journals. I finally got around to adding one: John Stewart, Green Lantern from Justice League. And I still have four more slots left. thinks that I need a Morris Day icon. We’ll see…
  • I’ve gotten so used to going to Google for searches, that I had nearly forgotten about Metacrawler, All The Web, and Teoma. I was using Google’s Image search to look for a picture of the Teen Titans‘ Cyborg icon. It wasn’t finding anything overly useful. I went to All The Web… BAM! There it was.

  • Alan Colmes had a segment on his radio show where he was talking about the arrest made in the Dru Sjodin case in North Dakota. He made a comment about the suspect, who has been to prison for sex crimes, being arrested because he had “…a history of sexual contact with adult women.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but strictly on the basis of what he said, doesn’t that put a good percentage of the male (and a portion of the female) population in America at risk of being arrested? (Yes, that was both a rhetorical and a sarcastic question.) There seemed to be a good split among the callers as to whether or not someone who has been convicted of sex crimes can (or even should) be rehabilitated.

Namaste.
