No animals were harmed in the making of this copycatter

I must be psychic. No, not psycho (I'm so definitely that). Either that or I'm starting a trend. Or, more likely, I'm a lemming.

I swear I had no idea, until I went surfing the Net this evening, that Dooce is also in the midst of a "cleanse." I already loved this woman -- she's an ex-Mormon living in Utah with a potty mouth, a 4-ish-year-old daughter, a diagnosis of depression, and a great story (she got fired from her job for writing about her job, in often a rather unflattering light, on the blog, and sometimes writing the blog itself during work hours).

She's also making something like 6 figures from her blog and just published her first book. Maybe I hate her, actually.

So I didn't know about Oprah. And I didn't know about Dooce. Who else out there has plunged off the cliff into the vastness of veganism? Fess up.

Turns out,though, that she may not be getting the same positive vibes from the plan that I am. Click here for the post that may prompt my mother to send me a case of Twinkies and a side of beef.

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...

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...
