A virtual archaeological dig in a long lost eCave has revealed several hundred old posts from 2005-2007. These posts cover a multitude of topics like Bush’s Reign of Error, much more Randomness As We See It, and many of my favorite memoirs posts.
Feel free to check in and browse. See the Poobah of old become the powerful deity you see smiting evil today. It’s a revelation.
You may return to your regularly scheduled pictures of cats and parodies now.
As self-made Hollywood celebrities go, Kim Kardashian could be much worse. In between endless photo shoots, making sex tapes, marrying and/or dating every man in the Northern Hemisphere, and selling clothes with too much gold braid and rhinestones, she sometimes has a somewhat self-deprecating view of her fame.

Refreshing honesty. You gotta love her for that.
Certainly there are few election seasons in which candidates from either party don’t say or do something stupid or ill-advised.

“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” harkens back to the bad old days when careers and lives were ruined by Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy, an alcoholic, demagogic Senator from Wisconsin. His bullying excesses become known as McCarthyism and he and his supporters caused far worse damage to the nation than the most evil of Communists ever did.
