You know, I saw The Timmy's play tonight at Viele's Planet, and the only thing I remember is how sexy and talented that bass player is. Who is that sexy beast?

I may be mistaken about the district, but I will double check. I do know that Mr. Van Meter is also running unapposed in County Board district 24.

In Canada, the national animal is the beaver, and it is common knowledge that beavers don't like weasels. Let's face it, we all hate weasels. And this election year is no different.

Joe Natale, it turns out that you my friend are located in the 22nd district. The very same district in which Republican Tim Moore is running unapposed for the Sangamon County Board seat. But wait! There's more!
The Green Party of Springfield has nominated candidate Joe Lanter to run against Mr. Moore for a working man's say in local politics in Springfield's south-central area. Score one for democracy!
Three cheers for Joe Lanter!

Mr. Natale, we need your vote this November. Tell your friends and neighbors.
If you've had it with corruption, Vote Joe Lanter in the next election!
SPACE BEAVER has arrived!

"SPACE BEAVER delivers all-out action, corny melodrama, and honest human emotion... all froma pig, a turtle, a rat, a porcupine, and, well... a beaver!"
Amazon.com Editorial Reviews.

"This is the best comic about a Beaver in Space that I have ever read!"
A reader.

I cannot believe I have not seen this before! Thank the Wily Beaver for showing me the way. For writer/illustrator Darick Robertson to be mentioned in the same sentence as Limey comic book writers such as Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis of Preacher fame, and Brian Michael Bendis is a great honor. I personally cannot wait to get my grubby hands on this postmodern ANIMAL FARM, that some say "is better than Phantom Menace."

"Masonry is a cult based upon mediocrity and mendacity. It is elitist, racist and misogynist. Masons come firstly. The notion of masons advocating democratic freedoms and rights is pure nonsense. It is a deceptive lie. Their practical volume of the sacred law is the book for tyrants by Machiavelli called The Prince, or the egotistic selfishness of the philosopher Ayn Rand (a woman!), who advocated a might is right, laissez-faire capitalism with no regard for social welfare for the disadvantaged."

From the Freemasonry Watch website

Aaaaah, the sweet smell of fear. It tastes like chicken. Fear is what creates these cultish groups. I study fear and lies in order to know truth and love when I am confronted with it. It is a late Sunday night, and I tend to wax spiritual expansiveness in these quiet dark hours. I do have to work tomorrow and all, so I need to detach a little from the physical world for awhile. I'll be embarrassed when I read this in the sobering daylight hours, but who cares. Love and choices. Love and choices. That is what I see as important in life. There is always a choice, and we are all very much loved.

adieu
Kudos to Mr. Natale for his insightful insightfulness on the regressive voodoo economics of the flat tax. I hope that when Rod Blagsovunabich gets elected governor that he can explain things in such clear and easy black and white terms. Life is that simple, right? Good versus Evil and all that.
You know, Mr. Lanter is right. This blog is too much a sausage party. Don't get me wrong. I love to party. But we really need a woman's perspective here. Someone who will talk about how clothes don't fit right, or fashion trends in Paris. We someone who will explain diets that don't work, and comment on life with breasts that are either too big or too small. Who among us knows anything about relationships or the meaningfulness of sex? Will no one heed the call to talk about shopping? Can someone please explain to me what it is like to wear high heals or what the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine is saying? I mean, how exactly can I have a better orgasm in 30 days or less?

Castoreum

Animal scent markings are notorious for smelling terrible. But castoreum is different. It has a musky smell that some people describe as van...
