My sister is a big couponer. She tells me that she gets lots of stuff practically for free (or at sizable discounts) by carefully tracking coupons. The source of most of her information is a web site called RefundCents. If you're interested in saving some money and have a bit of time to invest in doing so, you might check it out.

The Rockridge Institute, a small California organization with which George Lakoff (author of a number of books on framing language from a progressive perspective) is associated, is closing up as of April 30, 2008. It's really too bad. They took on a massive task and did what they could given their limited resources. The Rockridge Institute was formed to address a set of challenges: The

Some people believe that a marriage/relationship between two heterosexual people is good, and that a relationship between two gay individuals is bad. Other people (many Unitarian Universalists among them) believe that a marriage/relationship which is kind, loving, and caring is good, and that a relationship where one partner physically or psychologically injures the other is bad. Perhaps that's

About 3 years ago, my wife and I visited South Carolina and spent a couple of days in Charleston. We found it to be an incredibly charming city, with housing prices (in some of the 'burbs) significantly lower that in the Boston area. Because of things going on with my employer's IT organization, I wasn't feeling very confidant of my long term future, and we mused that it would be a good place

A recent edition of the New Yorker has a short article on the current trend to write six word memoirs. I've also heard it referred to as six-word stories. As an example, it's said that Hemingway wrote this: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn". Here's one memoir of mine: "Did computers. Lost job, new life."

George Lakoff, in a blog post called What Counts as an "Issue" In the Clinton-Obama Race? talks about the major issues dividing Democrats: First, triangulation: moving to the right -- adopting right-wing positions -- to get more votes. Bill Clinton did it and Hillary believes in it. It is what she means by "bipartisanship." Obama means the opposite by "bipartisanship." To Obama, it is a
