WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12
 I’ve had an interesting day. I was planning some very good commentary on politics and blogs, but was detoured by a new tenor and cat killers. I don’t like cat killers.

There is a lose wire that causes the blasted thing to uncharged the battery. My mother swears if it keeps up she’s getting a new one. My father and ... more »

COSTEL BUSUIOC
Costel Busuioc is no Paul Potts, but he could be another Pavarotti wannabe with a voice to go along with it.

(Miss Blue Eyes) Evidently the "good" people of Randolph, Iowa don't know much about cats. Currently, of the 5 cats who allow me to reside with them, only on is wearing a collar. She is the first cat I've ever had who wears a collar.
I know how hard so many of us work to take care of "our" feral cats. You've probably read about the ... more »

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY I AM A DEVOTED MARXIST
The Pink Flamingo's 64th Edition
THURSDAY THIRTEEN
(A two-fer)
This Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to all the devoted Marx Brothers' fans, including my father and my friend Mark. The Marx Brothers were pioneers of comedy and the movies. Their work made it possible for future masters in the field from Alan Alda's Hawkeye to Saturday Night Live, to Laugh-In. They were the kings of comedy before people even knew what comedy at the movies actually was. If you have never seen their movies you are in for a treat. My favorite is ... more »
