Are You Registered?

I’m guessing that most of you know whether or not you’re registered to vote. But for your sake and mine, think again. If you moved recently, have you voted since then?

Spitballs: Not Deserving Of Torture

The other day, I heard Representative Phil Gingrey (R-GA) (and his fabulous mustache) attempt to justify his support for H.R. 6166. In doing so, he said that the detainees were less deserving of due process (and more deserving of interrogations “that fall short of” torture) because of how wicked they were. The exact quote eludes

Podcastilicious!

Two things, both related. First, we’ve another podcast posted for North Fulton Drama Club on the Georgia Podcast Network. This is podcast number five and I think we’re getting the hang of it.

Literal Sleeper Cars, II Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Lack of Internet be damned, I’ve managed to upload, tag and label all of our photos from this past weekend’s adventure in Chattanooga — including Rock City, Lake Winnepesaukah and that damnable flat tire. Take a look and enjoy.

Further Connectivity

Sing along, won’t you? That’s the sound of the line (line) Connecting on the mo (mo) mo-o-dem! Yep. We’re on dial-up tonight. Well, I am. If the DSL won’t cooperate — and it still won’t — then we’ve got to check the Drama Club email somehow, even if it means reaching back through the ages
