I've been a bit incapacitated these last few weeks because I'm in the process of moving and the utter disaster that is my apartment has rendered my mental faculties useless. I'm one of those people who can't function when there are unfolded clothes on the floor. I am reminded of how much I despise moving and perplexed that my small little personage of all of five-foot-two (and a half) and 23-years of age, managed to amass such an insane amount of stuff in such a short period of time.

Then there's that whole "First Annual Reader Appreciation Card" bit that sounded like a really great and brilliant idea at the time, but 'round about say, oh I dunno, midnight at Kinko's, and one shot of espresso, I think I entered the land of regret. But by golly, I'm a woman of my word, and thanks to my trusty sidekick who shall be revealed at a later time, cards should be shipped tomorrow for those who requested them (AKA, the cool kids on the block). If you didn't and still want one, too bad. I'm not making anymore. Ever. I will give birth to a child before it happens again. (I jest) Don't ever say I don't love you people. Two paper cuts, 5 gluesticks, and a couple hundred bucks later, I have a finished product that is actually quite nifty if I do say so myself.

A bit of Linkology:

• By way of Joanne Jacobs, a recent federal report says that fewer teenagers are having sex. Somewhere in that data there is a discussion on the usefulness of abstinence education.

• The nonpartisan ACLU recently filed suit against the Dover Area School District in Harrisburg, PA for their recent decision to require that "intelligent design" (the belief that the creation of the Universe is so complex, it had to be orchestrated by a higher power) be taught alongside all other theories in science. The ACLU's premise? Good ole separation of church and state. I don't want to be around when the ACLU gets what they deserve.

• Jeff the Baptist took my bait and discusses the overuse of the term "homophobia" by Liberals.

• Angela Winters at "Politopics" discusses the need for leadership and accountability in her post "Hip Hop Politics".

• Reader Janae takes the veil off the confused hype that is Destiny's Child
