Thalutationths, Bombstherth! It’th Thursday.

I fell down and went boom yesterday, effed up my right knee, but most of all my left hand. I have to let my right hand hit the shift key for the left one, because too much range of motion hurts. Too bad I didn’t do it at work, I could handle my own workers’ comp claim!

Oh well, let me poke my nose into your business. Don’t hold back!

Reminder to all the new Rand Paul fans on my twitter feed – his appreciation for civil liberties ends where a woman’s uterus begins

— Michael Cohen (@speechboy71) March 7, 2013

To be fair, unlike Ted Cruz or John Cornyn, Rand Paul actually believes the bullshit that comes out of his mouth.

If someone can just trick Rand Paul into saying his name backwards we can end this right now.

Sen. Rand Paul is conducting an actual talking filibuster of John Brennan for CIA director over drone strikes.  Gotta say, I don’t agree with him on very much, but this has actually been good so far.

Growing up, I loved the stories I read about Harriet Tubman, and her brave forays into slave territory to spy and lead others to freedom. At the time, there were a few other black women like Sojourner Truth, whose stories were written about as tales of resistance and I knew family legends that were passed down about my own strong enslaved ancestors, but the library seemed to be pretty bare of reading material on other black women who had resisted enslavement.

That is beginning to change, and I can only hope we will see more in the years to come.  

Good morning, Bombazinos! It’s Terrible Tuesday. Terrible because I have a gazillion conference calls to do at work and will have even less time to hang out (not that I have time on good days).

I’m going to borrow a question that was regularly featured in Bon Appetit’s little back page chef interview: What historical person or persons would you like to have dinner and drinks with? Expanding on that, what fictional characters (assuming it was at all possible) would you like to have dinner and drinks with? What fictional place you you like to visit? When you travel, do you prefer to find accommodations like the natives or do you prefer to stay in places that are more like what you find at home? Do you usually cook at home or go out to eat?
