List of charitiable agencies providing low cost/free medical services
Sunday, January 27th, 2008RedStater: FREE or Low Cost Healthcare In OKC Area
It’s a good list and I appreciate Redstater for posting it.
I do disagree though with his allegation that liberal bloggists won’t post the information because it doesn’t help their political agenda. That is pretty absurd. I agree with Redstater that it is tremendous that these agencies are […]

The basic argument that Josh makes on his […]

In memory of Ralph, the gerbil
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I’m sad to report that I came home to the farm on Monday night to find Ralph (my pet gerbil that I’ve had since May 2006 ) dead.
I definitely will miss the little guy. He was so fun to watch as he climbed up the bars of his cage, or when he would chew up […]

Saturday, January 19th, 2008
I got there a couple of minutes late so I was stuck just outside the door, but I did get a few shots (thanks to the help of some of the people who were sitting on other people’s shoulders to get a better view).
