Good night. Opening night at Chicago Lyric Opera. Otello. Amazing.

I took the formerly feral now semi-tame cat who lived in the bushes outside my job home this week, and 4 days later she is doing beautifully as an apartment cat! I was warned it would take her weeks to feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding and make herself at home, but Peaches is already lazing about like a

LOL. We have much to offer, especially in terms of comedy and actual beer.

Consider it a gift from Canada!

You can tell how much a woman who speaks her mind scares the men who are arrayed against her by how ludicrous and overblown their reactions are. I hope she sinks their cheese-stinking ships right offshore of Galveston as she sings "Rhinestone Cowboy."

I was at Notre Dame at the time, and some of my friends were in a survivor's group. Some of them had sued or were still in the process, and when they told me about the depth of the abuse coverup, I remember just being in shock. And looking at this 20 year-old guy who was vocal and angry and wondering where he got his

Texas is that closeted, outwardly hyper-masculine guy that keeps sleeping with California and then crying afterwards and telling him it was just a one-time thing because he was drunk.

This. I live in North County San Diego, AKA Darrell Issa's district. Doesn't get much more red than that. I'm planning on volunteering for the campaign of whoever runs against him next year. I don't care if Satan himself runs, he would be an improvement over Issa. But it's a losing proposition regardless. The best

She was about two years too soon for people to understand.

It wasn't just that, though. Ireland has a lot of anger for the Church, not just for the sexual abuse but also for their abortion stance and the Magdalene Laundries.

Funny story: Remember when Sinead ripped up the picture of the Pope? It was because she was protesting the long history of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and the Church hierarchy's commitment to protecting pedophile priests. Boy did she ever turn out to be right.

From those husky paws to God's ears! (The humans really need some help here, for the good of all.)

Yeah, I think thin and fat women both get a lot of unsolicited advice and appraisal on their appearance.

Never yell at a person who is performing. I learned that a long time ago. I did a bad, bad thing to Ani DiFranco once. I waited until it was quiet, and yelled "BOTH HANDS!!!" Unfortunately I waited until it was too quiet, and it filled the entire concert hall. She looked pissed and did not play Both Hands. I died of

In San Francisco, where I grew up, Grace Cathedral does it. Often rural animals come from outside of the City, which is adorable (goats! lambs!). And I loved when the mounted police would show up and have the horses blessed. I'm not sure if they still do that. Are there still police horses in San Francisco?

The Episcolal Church has a blessing for the animals on this Friday every year. The Church believes we are created, people, and animals, to give love and hope. I am not a fan of any of religion, but I do think its a great thing for the Church to do. In San Diego it happens in Balboa Park, starting with the

Do you think they're going to join together to make one great big super-husky? 'Cause that would be awesome!

Today is the Blessing of the Animals, nothing to to with dirt bag but you gotta see this picture..
