Bea Arthur is dead???

I am just stunned by the news that Bea Arthur is dead. I have soo many great Bea Arthur memories, mainly from the Golden Girls.

I was lucky enough to see her show, And Then There was Bea, three times.

Bea Arthur may be dead, but her comedy will live on forever

Random reason why I love casinos

I am not sure if there is anywhere on the planet where I can find a more diverse group of people than in casino. I love diversity in all of its forms.

Only in a casino can you be talking to a billionaire one minute and a homeless person the next minute. Often I am more intellectually stimulated by the homeless person.

Perry wants Texas to be its own country?

Apparently, at the crazy tea parties today the idea of Texas leaving the US was suggested?

Wow, I love Texas, but I would totally leave in a minute if that happened. I can always move to my lovely Oklahoma. I am there enough already with all the casinos.

I suppose I can still visit Texas like a few times a year. Oklahoma doesn't have a Neiman Marcus.

I want to pay more taxes!

I really believe that I want to pay more taxes. Here are my thoughts:

I think that I get a lot of services and stuff for the taxes that I pay. Quite simply, I think taxes are a a huge bargain.

These tea baggers really did a good job of getting organized today. But I still think they are nuts.

Should I eliminate Amazon.com from my online shopping?

I will fully admit that I love online shopping. One of my most frequent online shopping places is Amazon.com. Today, I am hearing about Amazon censoring a lot of gay authors. They claim that is just an accidental error. I am not sure....

I am certain that I do not want to support a business that doesn't support full equality for all. I will have to wait and see on this one and do more investigation / activism....

Clicks for Colons?

I am not sure how to do this, but I want to do it somehow...

I think there has to be a way to do a campaign where clicks from online advertising go to fund free colon screenings. I am sure that if more people were screened for colon cancer there would be less cancer. There has to be someway to give free colon screenings to more people...

Adventure Ecology

Adventure Ecology has to be one the best groups/website that I have found about climate change.

I am excited to read about their Plastiki boat in New Yorker.....
