I know it's been all over the news so I will be surprised if any of you haven't heard about Oregon Representative David Wu's bizarre speech about Klingons & Vulcans in the White house and how we shouldn't allow the "Faux Klingons" who "have never fought a battle of their own" to send real Americans off to war.

I have a few things to say here.

First: He isn't necessarily wrong, but is there a way he could have voiced his opinion with out the Trek spin on the matter? I mean come on, I sleep in my Star Fleet Academy t-shirt (thank you Mike it is super soft) but I wouldn't shove it in the face of the House of Representatives...

Second: Thank you Mr. Wu for making Oregonians look even crazier to the rest of the world than we already look.

Third: Am I wrong about this? The man is passionate about his politics and he is also passionate about his Trek. Is that so wrong? I kind of think it is (not the passions, the combining of them). While Trek is a classic American cultural touchstone it is also a fictional television show. How would I feel if politicians started comparing our current political climate & dealings to American Idol, That 70's Show, Gilmore Girls or Smallville? I would feel like I live in a world of political lunacy...

Oh my... there is the point of all this... We DO live in a world of political lunacy...

Yesterday my mother showed up at my door with 13 handcrafted birthday invitations in one hand and 1.75 liters of vodka in the other. The two are mostly unrelated. The invites are made from paper and glitter. Stamp and ink. She didn't write in them, but provided

there is not a raccoon in my kitchen...

As I sit quietly in my living room working I tend to listen to the sounds of home. The slight buzz and hum of my heater, the birds chirping and chattering from my high windows, the rush of cars on the street outside, and the constant chirps, pings, and trills

you put your hair in the coconut...

I remember putting some crazy things in my hair as a kid. Lemon juice, kool-aid, mayonnaise, avocado, tea, and that scalding hot oil treatment. With that last one I might as well been torturing myself with tar and feathers. Then there was the one summer I strived to find the
