Secrets of the Emergency Room
Good article in the New York Times here. Good comments section, too.
Party at Everyman
Rhode Island, birthplace of the diner, is going nationwide this Monday, February 22. Everyman Bistro will host a viewing party, starting at 8:30, to celebrate the appearance of the Libery Elm Diner on The Food Network at 10:00pm. Music will be provided by The Killdevils, Lucky 57, and Mark Cutler and Friends. I count myself [...]
Massachusetts, What Have You Elected?
Joe Stack, by his own standard, was a failure… He slammed his plane into the building – the last, desperate move by a man overwhelmed by personal and business failures, trying to strike out at enemies all around him. “Nothing changes unless there is a body count,” he wrote. He planned his blaze of glory [...]
Talking Back to Sarah Palin
I don’t watch Family Guy, because even though Seth MacFarlane is local, he seems to have been deeply affected by Garfield cartoons. I just can’t get past that. Sorry. He’s also offensive. I watched part of one episode and it struck me as creepy-racist-misogynist and I only lasted a few minutes. Sorry– I can’t justify [...]
Beware Scams
A warning about fake health insurance scams. But no advice on what to do about the lack of affordable health care for millions of Americans. Scams like this wouldn’t even exist if we had an organized single-payer national health care program. The only vultures picking on Medicare are the ones who offer ‘insurance’ at pennies [...]

Once Again–No Nukes
I’m discouraged that President Obama is not putting more emphasis on renewable energy and conservation, and worse yet, proposing to give a huge loan and protection from liability to the nuclear industry. Too busy to cover all the aspects of this, but I’m going to post a link to some earlier posts referencing the Providence [...]
Vote for Him
Just because the zeitgeist is crying– ‘Marry Him’, I’m linking to Nomi at ‘I Dreamed I Saw Grace P. Last Night’ considering how to choose a candidate, and support her or him against an avalanche of money and favoritism. The lesser of two evils is getting pretty old. Should we settle for the least bad [...]
From the Reverend
My minister posted this poem from some beatnik.
Before Completion
I’m not a February type person. We’re in the deepest of the cold, on the edge of a snowstorm, in the dark of the moon. Two days before Ash Wednesday when all the Catholics wear a mark on the brow. Don’t ask me to give up blogging for Lent. I don’t attempt the impossible. The [...]
