Longtime readers may recall that I’ve written a post or two about my father over the years, including some background about the rather… shall we say… unusual circumstances in which he was put up for adoption. I was in my early teens when Mom told me that Dad had been adopted shortly after he was born. [...] This is what I look like in 2010. On a good day. Photo taken after a long afternoon spent traipsing around Canal Park and downtown Duluth on a cold, rainy, blustery Saturday in April. …Instead of holing up in the nearby DECC, where, at the time this photo was taken, I believe the DFLers were on their second [...] So, night before last at around 8pm I suddenly had this brilliant idea: I would go down to the basement and search through about a dozen steamer trunks and footlockers to find ALL of the family slides; find ONE PARTICULAR SLIDE out of hundreds no, make that well over a thousand; convert the slide to a [...] Judging by the echoing reverb of the crickets chirping in my visitor stats since my last post, I think it’s safe to say that the only thing people want to see less than Rush Limbaugh’s face is Rush Limbaugh’s face framed with goatse hands.

The President’s special [...] After reading this story * yesterday about tracing birth families and the two Chicago men in their 80s who discovered just last year that they are brothers, I decided that it’s finally time for me to write down my father’s story.

A week ago the question was: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? The question today: What kind of president would Sarah Palin be? As I’ve often said before, on my About page and elsewhere, I was baptized and raised a member of the Lutheran church (Mount Olivet, in fact.The big kahuna of ELCA congregations in North America) but many years ago I fell away from Lutheranism, and from Christianity, and from all forms of organized religion.
