Hi there. How's your year?

Now.
Right now.
For all three of you out there who've nagged me about it during the past week...
I am blogging again. Right now.

I could make a zillion excuses why I haven't been blogging.
I'll just list one.
I'm a complete slug. I'd rather sit around watching repeats of Dancing with the Stars than spout my soapbox schtick here.

Plus, I've felt a little hopeless about humankind lately. Every time I start thinking about Bush and what a mess he's made, I want to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. Then there's the Virginia Tech killings -- what else is there to say beyond tragic, senseless and evil. There's blogblogblog. And then there's blahgblahgblahg. I worried that I had drifted to the latter.

It's very nice to know that a few of you out there might actually enjoy reading my rantings. Then there's "Alex" the spammer who is kind enough to leave a comment every so often.

Anyway, I did it. I blogged. Leave you utterly satiated?

Don't stop checking in. I might surprise you.

Amy, I'm glad you're back. I was worried that you might be trapped under a piano or something for the last few months.

Anyway, there's good news out there. In the grand scheme of things Bush isn't even a blip on the cosmic radar.

I'm watching a report about a company that has created a biodegradable plastic. See, things are looking up already.

Yay! So glad you're back. It's nice to read an intellectual blog from someone who can actually write.

My personal refuge of choice lately, MySpace, is completely void of a single thought-provoking statement. No one even blogs on MySpace. I've been a slug about blogging myself. And when I do? It's usually just to type in something someone else wrote.

I know what you're talking about.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
