"Murphy was an optimist!"
I read your blogs August 29, 2008 11:33 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Blog, Daily Life, PublishingMore often I am bumping into people who volunteer, "I read your blogs." At first I would blush over, maybe apologize, quickly explain that some writing is fiction or embellished, and ask, "Do you still like me?" Now I perk up, smile, and respond positively and thank them for reading adding that I hope they continue to enjoy the writing.
The statement is "I read your blogs" – plural. So Cathy and I get bunched together (and possibly Tommy, Sarah, Noah, Amy, and a specialty blog or two. Evan cannot spell yet.) Of late, the "I read your blogs" has a followup sentence that is consistently being said by unrelated people, "Cathy writes really well!" It’s subtle, but there’s a message in there! I’ll get better with practice. (Cathy does write really well. Domestic Psychology should be in your feed reader! Links for her: post feed and comment feed)

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Politics, Touchy Subjects, United StatesDid McCain just win the election? Please tell me that we aren’t about to have 4 more years of Bush policy because the blood is rushing from the brains of men to cat calls and discussion of whose weapon is larger, and blood rushing from the brains of women angry that Hillary didn’t get the nomination. I hope our society is more intelligent than to be led by "look! something shiny!" Young, beautiful, pageant winner, hunter, gun aficionado (lifetime NRA), 5 children – 1 in Iraq and 1 with special needs (Down Syndrome), has ANWR in the palm of her hand — good move McCain! But I don’t think it’s checkmate. I truly believe that our society is intelligent enough to see that the Obama policies are far better for this country than the McCain aristocracy.
I look forward to the debates. This is going to one awesome election!

Still laughing at MSNBC picture choice August 29, 2008 8:18 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Humor, Of Interest, TV / MoviesI saw this on Reddit.com and am still chuckling. X-Files star David Duchovny has checked into rehab for sex addiction and MSNBC chose the perfect file picture for the article. Hey hey hey!
