A Memoir

Funny story – my last name used to be “Furey.” Twenty years ago today, when Husband and I started dating, he once said, “Hell hath no woman like a Furey scorned.” In related news, I wrote a memoir about teaching in Tampa. More about the plot later. I have two concerns. And by *two* I [...]

Wassup 2008

Back before the Bush Error began, my favorite commercials featured the Wassup Guys. How are they doin’ eight years later? See for yourself.

My Ramblings

Thanks to an interested reader, I discovered my links to previously published works weren’t working. Now they are. If you are so inclined, and have nothing better to do, peruse the sidebar and read some nonsense the good folks in mainstream media deemed worthy enough to publish for the three people in town who still [...]

This Site is a Bummer-Free Zone

I like Will Ferrell’s eyebrows and the picture of Laura Bush on his desk. It’s the little things with me… What are they gonna do in less than two weeks when Obama wins? I can hardly wait.

Another A-List Celebrity Endorsement for Obama

Or go there yourself and send your uninformed friends witty rebuttals in record time. Use my response as a template if you wish. You don’t [...]

My Worst Nightmare

“All God’s Children Welcome – Except Catherine Robinson.”Check out this video – I especially like it when the older woman calls me all those names. How long until we nuke Iran? Customize the video and send it out to those who need encouragement to get to the polls and vote. Two weeks dollies. Let’s do [...]

Health Care for America Now

As entertaining as it is to watch rightwingers lose their motherf*ckin’ minds over the idea of a black man in the Oval Office, there is other work to be done. Massive deregulation is what caused the current financial crisis, yet the insurance industry wants more deregulation so they can take more of our money and [...]

Top 5 Reasons Obama Supporters Shouldn’t Rest Easy

1. The polls may be wrong. Sure, most people say they’re voting for Obama when talking to the nice lady on the phone, but once inside the voting booth, they might let their inner rednecks out. I know five of them in Lutz alone. Don’t get me started on The Springs. 2. Dirty tricks. You [...]

"Hi, my name is Catherine." "Hi, Catherine."

Support groups aren’t really my bag. When I was in college, Mom suggested I go to Adult Children of Alcoholics so that I wouldn’t wind up with a drunk husband and a boatload of unresolved issues thanks to Bio Dad’s “likey the drinky” parenting style. Instead, I read books about it and married a nice [...]
