Two personal updates I would like to share with all you Punkassers.
First, I have been formally accepted into law school, I start on the 18th of August. I already have about 200 pages to read for the first day of class :).
Second, there is a new addition to mine and Hubby’s little family. [...]

Bowflex Boy! Oh, my God, I hadn’t thought about him in YEARS..!
(insert shriek, squeal and giggle)
It all started when I saw this post title on Hugo’s blog: ““Bowflex Boy” and Kristy McNichol: desire, celebrity, and the sexiness of earthy reality.” I didn’t immediately cotton onto the meaning of “Bowflex Boy,” and [...]

My computer recently died. I pouted, and then, I moved on.
And by “moved on,” I mean, “started to build a new one.”
So! I’m going to do a series of posts about diagnosing a problem with my computer and building a new one. I think this is a pretty Punkass thing, but if you don’t want [...]

50 comments and still going strong! I don’t normally get that many comments on anything I post here, so I’m happy to see a lively debate. (That’s not sarcasm. It’s pretty cool that the discussion remained relatively civil, too.)
Anyway, new PunkAssReaders, I hope you’re still reading, because now that I have your attention, I’d like [...]

Not bad for a gun-hater.
So. A homophobic terrorist shoots up a Unitarian Universalist church, which is pretty much the mass murdering equivalent of kicking puppies. The usual suspects on both sides come out of the woodwork to claim that more guns or fewer guns, respectively, would have prevented this tragedy from occurring.
On the NRA side, [...]

My computer stopped turning on over the weekend. (* cue sound of sobbing children *)
I push the power button. Nothing! I unplug her, wait a minute, plug her back in and push the power button. Nothing! I pray whilst pushing the power button. I am struck by lightning*, but my computer does not turn on.
So, [...]

When I was eighteen…
…I was an MRA.

Okay, not really. Not totally! and definitely not consciously. But I had some interesting ideas about men and women.

After many failed attempts on trying to upload images to this blog, I’m just going to assume I have a computer competency level that rivals John McCain, and say screw it. The images that show which pro-life organizations do what is at my Teller of Truths blog, and there will be links going to [...]

So in case you haven’t heard already, a couple of weeks ago Rum, Romanism and Rebellion unearthed this joke that McCain told at a meeting of the National League of Cities and Towns in 1986:
Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly [...]
