For those of you who know my son and are curious as to what he’s like these days, go here to see him and hear him speaking to the audience at the Portland Serenity benefit, wearing a Jayne hat. 🙂

Well, yeah. Shouldn’t everybody??
On the montage of famous people depicted in a visual representation of where they fall in the political spectrum, I fall somewhere between Gandhi and Boris Yeltsin.

Intelligence — brain power — is a wonderful thing, but they wouldn’t know that over at March Together, where the resident blogger, never having heard of The Onion, mistook an article, by-lined by a writer who doesn’t exist, as serious instead of satire.

It almost seems as though pro-choice people might have set it up to make a laughing stock of pro-life people. The scary thing is that’s not the case. These people are serious. Seriously uneducated.
