Just in today from CNN (*note, Jan 22nd is the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, contact your local Olympia city officials and let them know you support womens reproductive rights. Do it today even, you aren't doing anything else anyway!)

Washington (CNN) – Forty years after the Supreme Court protected abortion rights in Roe v. Wade, a new survey finds that white evangelicals remain the only major religious group that supports overturning the landmark ruling, even though most such groups find abortion morally wrong.

Slightly more than half (54%) of white evangelicals, according to the Pew Research Center study, favor completely overturning the 1973 Supreme Court decision that affirmed a woman’s right to have an abortion. No other religious group, including white mainline Protestants, black Protestants and white Catholics, agreed with completely overturning the ruling.

In fact, substantial majorities of white Protestants (76%), black Protestants (65%) and white Catholics (63%) say the ruling should not be over turned, the survey found.

I want you all to hear my song about socks as a means of getting inside your heads. Please allow my sonic brew to unbalance the ph of your gastro intestinal thought space.

My disabled wife's therapy cat recently has a urinary blockage, which is usually fatal, and he spent three days in the Veterinary hospital receiving treatment.  he is home now, and doing well, and the Vet's progrosis is for full recovery.  Because my wife and I are currently on a fixed income, we had to spend next month's mortgage payment to pay for his recovery.  I would rather lose my house than allow a loved family member to die for economic expediency.  All true animal lovers will understand my position.  As long as there is a chance the pet will survive, and they are not suffering, I will attempt to save them.  This has put us in a dire financial position, and we are attempting to raise funds so that we may possibly keep our home in these dire economic straights.  Please consider donating, or if you are unable, please share this with anyone you can (facebook, blog, etc.)  Click on the picture above to go to the indiegogo.com fundraising campaign I have setup to help recoup our costs.  Our friends (and strangers) have been very generous thus far, but we are a long away from raising the money spent to save our beloved cat, who provides my disabled wife with comfort for the pain and depression she suffers from due to her on-the-job injury in 2000.  God bless you if you can help!  If not, please sent "get well kitty vibes" or pray for him to whatever deity you feel appropriate.  Thank you in advance, any donations are sincerely appreciated.

I'd like to offer a big FUCK YOU to all the punks who tagged buildings in downtown Olympia this weekend, mostly along 4th Avenue from the closed Schoenfeld Furniture all the way up near the fire station.

Do people know how much this deteriorates the downtown area and how much work goes into removing that crap?

If I ever find out who did this, mostly with the Cz tag, I'd like them to be held accountable.

And I'm fully supportive of street art that is endorsed by local businesses.  The crap I saw this weekend falls way outside of even my submissive limits.  If anyone can photograph this stuff and add to this post, it will make it that much richer.

Apologies for the profanity,

Howard
