  • What is Feminism? Is it Dead?

    I’m not sure if you’ve had the unfortunate experience of reading about the ugly display that took place on Thinking and Drinking with Lizz Winstead last week. I’m guessing that if I heard about it, everyone has. To put it bluntly: It was a train wreck. Nutshell: Lizz Winstead (host of “Thinking and Drinking”, previous…

  • Dog Park Politics

    It’s probably pretty obvious by now that I’m what some may call a “cat person”. I love cats. I love all animals. But I love cats. They hold a special place in my heart, even the troubled ones. And so I am biased. I’ll admit that straight up. Every day (weather permitting) Emory and I…

  • Clearing the Air.

    Someone left a comment (anonymously, of course) on the last post I wrote calling me a racist. It bummed me out enough that I haven’t wanted to approach this Web site all weekend. At first I thought, who cares what this coward anonymously wrote on my Web site, but then I realized that others may…

  • Race Appeal Vs. Sex Appeal

    My heart goes out to the people living in Tennessee and Arkansas. I can’t even begin to imagine the horror some have had to endure over the last 24 hours. What was supposed to be a great day where politics was concerned ended up being a worse nightmare for many living down south. TobyJoe and…

  • Waging War Against Bisphenol A

    A couple of months ago we declared war against bisphenol A, an organic compound that mimics estrogen and can mess with a person’s hormones and development. This is especially alarming for babies who rely so much on what they ingest in order to develop. My understanding is this: bisphenol A was created as a estrogen…

  • Help Us All

    Huckabee won in Iowa last night. Obama won as well. Huckabee? Are you kidding me? Come on, America! Huckabee’s win is more than surprising to me, shocking even. If he does become the Republican candidate in the general election, we’re going to see more and more of his past come to light. Of course, it…

  • Browsers Anonymous

    Recently, TobyJoe and I were discussing the role of the Internet in our lives. It seems that every holiday or vacation or similar break from our daily patterns leads to an awareness of how much time we spend online and how little it really does to better lives. My use of the Internet borders on…

  • Naked Rape Beef

    On Friday afternoon TobyJoe got a phone call from our ISP (internet service provider). The caller works in the “sensitive material” department and called to inform TobyJoe that they had received a phone call from an international crime agency stating that one of the photos on mihow.com was being used on a Web site for…

  • The Hobo Nest

    About a week ago I noticed what appeared to be a perfect nest in the empty lot behind our house. The only difference between this nest and a bird’s nest was its size. It’s bigger than an aboveground pool. It was constructed by a human being. Of course I found the nest really amusing. I…
