I have more vehicle repairs to make than I have days in a year. My sink is clogged, and I’m bailing out water with buckets. Diapers just went up another 15% in my area. (And guess who’s not making any more money than they were last week?) I should cry. I should get fired up over the economy and blame my dog for life’s difficulties. Shouldn’t I? These fine bloggers disagree, and I’ll share what they know!

There is a burgeoning form of Islamic fundamentalism and it has nothing to do with hate speech or bombs -- Shariah-compliant financing. These loans, based on the premise that there is no production value in credit and that loan issuance must be based on tangilbe assets and require tight debt levels, are not only growing exponentially in use but are available to non-Muslims and well, kind of make sense in some cases.

And oh what an empty feeling when the television goes off.

One of my favorite things about getting spam is... wait. Oh, I don't have a favorite thing. Unless you count the creativity involved in coming up with new filters to block spam, there's really nothing about spam that I find positive. Spam is completely obnoxious.

So, if you have yet to read the writings of The Terrifyingly Funny Evil Blog Queen V at Violent Acres (and you should have, since handsome single studmuffin Will Chen linked her in his Top 20), then you're in for a real treat/therapy session. Someone sent me a link to her story about How To Fight, which is, hands-down, one of my favorite blog posts ever.
