BaldoThe electronic adventures of Baldo the Wonder Baby and his intrepid parents.Anti-war but not a pacifist- May 17, 2008 War is a huge-ass thing, not meant to be lived with on a day-to-day basis with no endgame. That's my philosophy. It should involve a clear purpose and the support of the public, who is obliged to make sacrifices and build Victory Gardens and put on a brave face. War should not be part of life's background noise. But if your nation gets clobbered by a giant cyclone and hundreds of thousands of people are dead, and you're holding onto all the aid, you deserve to get your ass kicked by the world's.http://www.suite102.com/baldo/archives/2008/05/index.html#002077 Ron Stone, no!- May 14, 2008 I had to come out of hiding for this. Ron Stone died. When I was a little kid in the 1970s, a cone of silence descended upon our house Sundays at 5:00 when The Eyes of Texas came on. Ron Stone was, like, my other dad. He was a kindly, slightly folksy, yet authoritative old-school broadcaster. It didn't even matter that much that he was actually from Oklahoma.http://www.suite102.com/baldo/archives/2008/05/index.html#002076 |
