I return at last to the creationism-intelligent design debate. After all my rather coy gambits on this topic over recent months, the conclusion may come as something of an anticlimax. It really is for me too: I'm tired of wrestling with it.

I just read an article on the Village Voice website that summed up one of the complaints I have had for some time about the Democratic Party: They won't fight.  At the same time, they are trying to convince conservative voters to vote for them instead of the Republicans and are losing votes on the liberal side as a result.   For both of these problems, I blame the Democratic Leadership Council.

I know I used to have an account here, but like so many things I have no idea what it is. &nbsp;Damn brain sugery... Being awake for brain sugery is interesting but not fun. &nbsp;Actually I'd describe it as terrifing. &nbsp;But I'm getting ahead of myself. &nbsp;On my first Thanksgiving away from home I had three episodes of numbness on my right side that lasted about five minutes and were spaced about half an hour appart. &nbsp;I thougt nothing of it until a week later when it happend agian. &nbsp;Went to school clinic, they sent me to get a CT scan. &nbsp;Later that afternoon they wanted me to go for an MRI first thing in the morning, so I did and the tech seemed concerned. &nbsp;Later that evening I went to happy hour as I often do Friday nights with my freinds. &nbsp;Before I got a quarter into my first beer I got a call from the clinic telling me to come in as soon as possible. &nbsp;So much for beer...
