Corpus Christi [Dan Collins]

Not out of the woods, but on the mend: Dan, It’s possible I might get out tomorrow. I had felt that I wasn’t going to budge from this hospital until i was sealed up (not leaking, spewing or oozing…) no matter what. Now that my wounds are less active I am starting to get hospital scratchy. I think I would do better out than in. I still have way too

A study in base alienation

Q: How many fundamentalist Christians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Never more than 2.  And of course, only if they’re married. **** update:  Oh. And for Chrissakes, please restrict yourself to the traditional light bulb screwing position. We aren’t animals, after all.

Wolf Whistles & Shiny Happy Beaver [Dan Collins]

A funny thing happened with that Naomi Wolf piece that I mentioned yesterday.  It was apparently mentioned in another article, and then picked up by one of the ladies at Pandagon as though it were current, when in fact, as Althouse points out, it is 4 years old.  I picked it up, and Yglesias picked it up, and Amanda shows up in Althouse’s comments.  You know, I thought that Wolf
