What You Talkin’ ‘Bout, Margo Moon?
Join us for our Saturday morning stroll through the Gayborhood. Today, meet our co-editor, Margo Moon.
Nobody told me what the secret was when I was growing up. But, when it happens, I feel all springy fresh like I do when I get out of a long, warm shower and every inch of my skin is totally alive. It’s happens in that minute when you know you’ve bumped up against somebody who can make you better at the things you love to do most.
When I was a kid, I would head down to our basement rec room with my two younger brothers and kick their asses in darts. It didn’t take much, we all sucked; me just less than them. I never really got better and the results were too predictable to make it fun for long.

But before we get to those, there's a couple of other things you should know. Each of our six channels is run by a contributing editor who posts him or herself and may or may not invite other contributors to post from time to time. But it's the editor's spot. If you think you should be posting on one of our channels, contact the editor. Each editor runs things a little differently. Lori Hahn hosts Thoughts from a Lezzymom on the GLBTQ page; News Writer keeps a running log of other blog posts she finds interesting. All of the unique programming is located in each channel's sidebar.
When you comment, you're asked to give us a name and a valid e-mail address, which is not posted and which we will never, ever give to anyone. Our software collects a few other pieces of information when you visit -- your ISP, IP address, ISP's location, technical info about your computer and browser -- all general and commonly collected by other Web sites. We won't give any of that away either, and we use it only for our own enjoyment.
The content found herein belongs to the author, including your comments. We have no problem if you want to quote us, but if you're interested in a repost, please contact us first.
That's about it. Off to the rules of engagement.

The rich keep getting richer Forbes released its richest people in the world list this week, and, to no one’s surprise, they are getting richer. Yes, my friends, there are more billionaires this year than last, and they have more money.
In fact, 1,011 billionaires — out of a world population of 6.7 billion people — hold more than half the world’s wealth.
And Forbes doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
I do. I think that’s just crazy, and the root of a helluva lot of the world’s problems.

Reality Check (Part 3 of 3): The Truth I had waited for the right time, and motivation, to write the final installment of “Reality Check;” I knew it was a matter of time before some prattling fool would offer me the opening and I wasn’t disappointed.
Thanks again Glenn! My favorite Moron, I mean MORMON, mouthpiece shot from the lip and hit himself in the ass by stating, in essence, that churches which advocate “social change” are actually Communist-Nazi fronts.
Glenn tried to awkwardly side-step or explain away the fusing of ultra-left and ultra-right ideology in a manner that not only defied HISTORY, it defied logic, but I will press on nonetheless.

Where Has the Oil Gone?Oil supply is not infinite. Sooner or later it will run out. The interesting speculation is when that will happen.
In a recent publication (ACS Energy and Fuels), several Kuwait scientists have studied this matter with a multicycle Hubbert model. The original Hubbert model in 1956, accurately predicted that oil production would peak in the United States around 1970. The model has since gained in popularity and has been used to forecast oil production worldwide. However, recent studies show that the model does not take into account more complex oil production cycles of some countries. Those cycles can be heavily influenced by technology changes, politics, social upheavals, and other factors.

Celebrating life when faced with tragedy When tragedy or disease strikes someone wealthy – or one of their children – the family often uses their financial advantage to draw attention to the cause or to prevent similar tragedies.
After Christopher Reeve was paralyzed, he and his wife started a foundation to fund and research possible cures for spinal cord injuries. Michael J. Fox started his own group to fund research into Parkinson’s. Lance Armstrong has help fund cancer research. Former NFL star Boomer Esiason has a foundation trying to cure cystic fibrosis, an ailment that affects his son.
Which is what made the event I attended last Saturday night so different.
