My sister lives in Austin, along with about 750,000 other people. So when a report came across CNN that a small plane had flown low,then crashed into an office building alongside the MOPAC highway, I didn't panic. just texted her a, "hey, are you OK?" message, then waited a few minutes for her reply - "Yep".

Then, I started seeing reports on CNN that the crash was quite possibly deliberate - and that the IRS has its local headquarters in the building, located at 9430 Research Park Drive. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe not.

Scouting around the Web for more information, I came across the following...

Just when I thought that my local school district couldn't get any more controlled by the right wing nutjobs, they've taken it upon themselves to warn me - by sending home a letter with my child, posting a notice on their website, and calling me via an automated phone system - previously only used for extreme safety emergency measures.

What's the problem?

Our President, duly elected eight months ago in a fair and democratic election, is speaking to our children.

Oh. The Shock Of It All!

OK, This is definitely Sarah Palin's "potatoe" moment.

She gives an interview to a local NBC affiliate, and it was picked up on MSNBC tonight.

I've got a rare, precious midweek day off. Surfing Craigslist this morning, I came across a listing in the "Free" section of the Denver listings that disturbed me as much as anything I've ever seen.

The headline:

ALL FREE: CHRISTMAS TREES, TOYS, BIKES, CARPET,TABLE AND MORE (I-76 and Pecos)

I admit that I jump over to Freeperville, to LGF, to Redstate, and read The Other Guy's take on issues. To inflict further torture on myself, I also will occasionally listen to Rush, turn on Fox News, or (very, very occasionally) listen to Dr. Laura.

Why? Why? Why?

O.K., to re-introduce myself: I am an ex-PUMA, Hillary Clinton-respecting 44 year old female who recently rejoined the DKos fold.

I also have a couple of teenagers (19 and 16) and a real job (two, actually: doing science outreach to public schools and freelance science writing).

I've been a feminist since 1973, when I was told that little girls couldn't be altar boys at my local Catholic church - but the second-grade boy, who lit cats on fire and beat up his baby sister - could serve Communion, no problem.

I've worked for 30 years, taken my knocks in the workplace, and I'm here to tell Sarah Palin, in the nicest way possible:

There is WAY too damn much on your plate.

Hi Sarah,

Wow. This must be a really tough afternoon, having to give interviews about your pregnant 17-year old daughter.

As one 44-year old mom (my daughter is 16, my son is 19) to another - let me tell you this: parenthood is, at times, a real challenge. It can be harder than anything you've ever done - running marathons, running political campaigns, holding public office.

Looks like you're going to be a granny this year, Sarah. Since your second daughter Willow is 13 years old, can I give you a bit of friendly advice?

Abstinence education doesn't work, Sarah.

What words can I possibly choose to describe the sense of disbelief I am feeling now? How stupid do you think I am, John McCain?

I, like Sarah Palin, am a 44-year old mother. Like Palin, I hold several degrees. Sarah Palin and I both like to fish and hunt and enjoy the outdoors. And we both have our eldest sons serving on active duty in the U.S. military.

But - good Lord - even I, as a member of the the allegedly low-information, perimenopausal, pansuit-wearing Sisterhood, wouldn't want my 44-year old peer only a hearbeat away from the Presidency!

Below the fold, an ex-PUMA's thoughts on McCain's selection of Sarah Palin:

Well, it's been two days since the Arvada Colorado shooting, and the media trucks have left my neighborhood. The only sign that they were here are the deep ruts they left by hurridly parking in wet, muddy ground along the main road. Like migratory vultures, their trucks and satellite dishes and blow-dried reporters have moved south, to more fertile feeding grounds.

One group of reporters is hovering in Englewood, home of the gunman, interviewing family and friends and collecting every possible scrap of information about this sick nut.

Another group is camped out in Colorado Springs, where they are broadcasting damn-nearly-hourly "special reports" that are focusing on the sick psychopath who gunned down innocent people in an effort to emulate other sick psychopaths.

A second shooting has occurred in Colorado today, and additional victims have been reported.

Complete details are not being released, but this second shooting occurred at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. New Life Church, along with Focus on the Family, helped establish Colorado Springs' reputation as a lynchpin of Christian fundamentalism. Its congregation was estimated in 2006 at 14,000 members.

New Life Church was founded in 1984 by Ted Haggard, who was implicated in a drugs-and-sex scandal in November 2006 and resigned his position shortly afterwards.

I am a big fan of Craigslist.

In the last six months, I've located scarce sports tickets on the site, found a terrific, responsible pet sitter, and collapsed in snorting, helpless laughter while reading their "Best of..." compilations.

I've found it's a great place to pay about .10 on the dollar for gently-used or never-used merchandise, and of course it's a terrific recycling/reuse of natural resources.

This Christmas, I have two teenagers, two in-laws, nieces, one sister, one mother, and a husband to buy for - in addition to all the assorted neighbors, teachers, and friends. Normally I put aside $100 a month and end up plunking down the entire $1200 in gifts.

This year, I am determined to only spend $600, max, and I'm going to buy nice stuff, quality stuff, mainly from Craigslisters. The rest of my budget goes to charity.

I started out yesterday morning by surfing the site at 5:30 a.m. After several hours of emailing, phone calls, and strategizing, I committed to visiting four different people who were selling their stuff online.

I found great gifts, and paid great prices for everything, but what I found also depressed me and left me heartsick.
