(I feel bad for the squirrel with a broken arm, but... Damn! that's cute. Snagged from teh intertubes, somewhere. Let me know if you're the owner of this picture, no copyright infringement intended.)

Just A Smidge Of Election Coverage.

Yes, it was primary day yesterday all over the US of A, so here's a little recap:



In CA, it's Whitman against Brown for Governor and Fiorina against Boxer for Senate.

Also in CA Orly (birth certificate) Taitz lost her bid to run for Secretary of State.

In Nevada it will be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat) v. Sharron Angle (Loony Wah Wah Tea Party Republican).

...and in Iowa Chuck Hurley (head of the Iowa Family Council) lost his bid for the house to Ako Abdul Samad. Hurley wanted to make this election all about destroying marriage equality. He hitched his wagon to a star... NOT!

JoeMyGod offers continuing, whimsical and right-on coverage, so give him a look-see.


Today in biblical certainty (via a response to Dr. Laura Schlessinger). I offer you the irrefutable, unambiguous word of God:

Leviticus 11:6-8  "God Hates Football."

Look it up if you're confused.

(Hat tip to Chuck.)

Candy! Again!

I'm going to have to think of it as Easter candy even though it is merely a coincidence that my care package arrived on Undead Jesus Day.

My friend Chuck of Chuck's Nuts, the triple entendre candy company of beautiful Santa Fe New Mexico, visited Dr. Sickerdoodle and me a couple of weeks ago. He was charming company and full of sage advice and he sent us candy!

Chili pecan brittle, various kinds of caramel corn, chocolate fudge, raspberry chocolate fudge, maple walnut fudge, chocolate espresso fudge, black forest fudge, chocolate chipotle raspberry fudge, pecan divinity, pecan rolls, Santa Fe fiesta mix, chocolate chile pine nut turtle...

I think that's everything.

My God.

This is a man who only uses the finest ingredients and he makes everything by hand. He is also the official candy maker for Santa Fe's 400th Anniversary celebration. Head over to his website and check out his goods. You can see a clip there of him whipping up a batch of chili pecan brittle as a guest on the food network.

Go look, you'll see how cute he is.

Did I also mention that he ships his confections all over the country?

Mmm...  candy.
