AZ Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Shot At Public Event

It really is a terrible tragedy made all the more terrible by the circumstances. It's true that political discourse in this country has reached a level where it is almost non-functional, but to use the actions of someone who is very arguably insane to fuel that fire is even worse. I don't really hav...

Cliff's Post on Paty, please read

Is there an address where we could send cards.

I know when Dave was sick, Paty really appreciated the cards we sent.

That's really cool JS. It always makes me happy when I run into people doing good and I always value those occasions when I get to step in and do a good deed myself. :) It sounds like that guy made a big difference doing a small thing.

Nightcrawler Halloween 2010

I'm trying to figure out where you are that a) it was that warm on halloween and b) there are that many hot guys willing to go out in that much spandex. Ooo la la! While I hate to be the type to over generalize, I can't imagine you are anywhere but California. I had a really fun halloween this year,...

Hmm, called her, and told her Angelique and me are really worried. ... Knowing her, she won't go. Next time, you can tell her I'm worried too! But be sure to tell her I'm not the right kind of doctor and therefore totally unqualified to make any kind of judgement on her health. (In other words, her...

As some of you may know, I collect original comic art. I own quite a bit of original Marvel art with Nightcrawler in it (including pages from his origin story comic).

My custom Nightcrawler Figures

My mom just got out of drug rehab about a week ago. She's got a shiny new coat of the 12 steps on her, going to lots of meetings, and enjoying her new sponsor. She's doing okay.

I'm having one of those times where all the juju is bad.
