Names – official monikers as well as nicknames, are likely to play a key role in the November elections in Texas. Two of the four major candidates running for the office of Texas governor asked that their nicknames be on the official ballot. One was partially granted his wish and other was denied. Singer and…

It is simple – like ribald fun with Chinese fortune cookies. Except, with neo-cons, the future is bloody and solutions to world problems, always lethal. So, how to make sense of grave and ponderous neo-con punditry? Just add "by killing people" at the end of all their statements. "Everyone knows you can get a good…

Keith Olbermann (Countdown, MSNBC)always points out the timing of these ‘terra alerts’ and while the timing of the announcement seems suspicious (from the Bush admin viewpoint, highly convenient) I think it is a genuine plot foiled. The MSM is just making hay while the sun shines, since ‘terra’ makes for great ratings, gives them something…

Those who wish to scoff at my claim that soccer is indeed the most democratic and ecumenical of all sports, please take a look here! I wonder if the language remains holy when a foul is drawn. And are they playing to score a soccer goal or attain a higher one? What is amply clear…

These UnFinished Objects are in various stages of completion- I’m hoping that highlighting some of them in this article will jog me into going…

The US Senate hearings are a platform for our voluble senators to talk endlessly and posture before the American public and C-Span cameras. The exercise often appears to be designed for the senators to showcase their hard hitting questioning abilities, sharp wit, insider knowledge and gift of the gab. The apparent objective is to get…

Where are all the sexy scientists? Or the scientists who love poetry, ride motorcyles, paint, play music, are social activists? And those who are loving fathers and mothers? Could it be that there are no scientists who fit the bill? Or is it that they exist but we just don’t associate these "human" qualities and…

The advent of the new year in Texas has brought wild fires, unseasonably warm temps (Houston is in the low 80’s and high 70’s – I turned on the AC today) and football, football, football. The Texas football stories are running on two separate tracks, one going up and the other, way down. But both…

My husband likes to drive with his foot heavy on the gas pedal, eyes on the horizon (and the occasional police car) and he does not stop to ask for directions. The duty of reading maps and signs falls squarely on my lap. I have performed the role of a pathfinder in various cities and…
