Early Voting for Idiots & the Insane

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 31, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliOctober 31, 2008

I took advantage of early voting today. As soon as i joined the already long line, I became starkly aware that I reside in a retirement village, because the only person in the line younger than me was drooling on a teething ring. There was a confusing amendment about allowing idiots to vote. Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 1 NOTICE TO THE PUBLICPursuant to Article 19, Section 22, of the Arkansas Constitution, the 86th General Assembly refers the following constitutional amendment to a vote of the people on November 4, 2008. Each elector upon voting his/her ballot shall vote for or … Continue reading →

Whining Pariah

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 10, 2013

Colorado…….I’m sure there are kindreds out there (I do have a fabulous best friend, 2 hrs away, but i mean OTHERS). I am so anxious to meet all the people in the social groups I’ve joined online already. The degree to which I want this move is palpable; I can think of little else, and my level of stress reflects my fear that it might be delayed, or–unimaginably–not possible at all. Here, where I am, I always feel like a stranger in a strange land. I feel like the pariah. (Don’t forget, this is the Bible-Belt). I feel like most … Continue reading →

Anything But Zen

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 20, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2013

Disclaimer: This post in no way represents any doubt about what I believe as far as religion. This is just part of the journey when you seek the truth. Some of it will be hard for your emotional-self to assimilate. But I believe that solutions exist and writing about it, talking about it, is my way of finding those solutions. This morning, after letting my dog, Giz out, and making coffee, I went back and opened the door to call Giz in, and instead of his name I just shouted, “Helloooooo!” A sign of Ginkgo Biloba deprivation? Early onset Old-Timers … Continue reading →

Things i don’t need.

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 14, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

  I don’t need ovaries, nor the monthly hemorrhaging that evolution has foisted upon me; this survival mechanism meant to perpetuate the species via progeny. I have not and will not ever experience life in my womb (apparently not even of the pleasurable, stimulating variety, if present is any indication of future). Even if i were young enough to bear children, I neither have the desire nor the likelihood of doing so as a lesbian who would never, by definition, sleep with a man, and could not fund the artificial process. I don’t need that lizard brain interpretation of the … Continue reading →

The Benefits of Well-Feeding

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 14, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

Though I have had moments–and those moments often stretched into days and weeks and sometimes months–of a Dry Writing Well…I should never allow myself to worry about it too actively. I always reach a point where my well is filled again, to overflowing, and I feel that handling the burgeoning water of writing would require me to clone myself. Complete with an inflatable raft. Like now. After finishing my 13th book, I fell into one of those dry wells, and even worried about it. Yet, here I am with 8 or 9 new books yanking at my head, and I … Continue reading →

2nd Presidential Debate

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 9, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 4, 2013

Okay, so I watched the 2nd Presidential Debate yesterday (recorded it). Although some pundits thought it was boring and less interesting that the first one, i beg to differ. I thought it was MORE interesting. Now, granted, the information both candidates put forth was not new, but i thought the value of it was to be found in not only the manner in which it was imparted, but in body language and attitude. First of all, I felt that Obama was clear, articulate, and largely effective in imparting his vision for his presidency. McCain on the other hand, came off … Continue reading →

Maverick AKA Reckless

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 4, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliApril 24, 2013

Last week, McCain said he was working on the bailout proposal, but then said in another interview that he hadn’t read it yet. He had not read it before or during the time he suspended his campaign. McCain said in his book that he wants to be the first one to make a decision–he makes decisions quickly and he sometimes pays the price for that–but that hasn’t taught him anything. He showed that when he selected–much to the surprise of pundits and colleagues alike–Sarah Palin as his VP, when this meant she would be one bad heartbeat away from the … Continue reading →

Self Sufficiency: It’s not Just for Survivalists Anymore

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on October 4, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliOctober 4, 2008

Most Americans do not realize that we have the oil and natural gas resources right here under our own soil. The burning question, in light of recent historical events is: why the hell haven’t we been using them? Considering the negative aspects of our dependence on other countries along with their conflicting ideologies,* we are in dire need of some common sense about the dangers of globalization. We should be tapping our own resources while being aggressive about developing our alternative energy options, with an eye toward moving away from petroleum products altogether, and then making aggressive lateral moves toward … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"Nietzsche said 'God is dead.' But if god is dead it means he was alive and I don't think he ever was alive, or ever WAS, so god is not Dead. God is NOT."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Favorite Quotes

A man's faith is just a subset of his beliefs about the world: beliefs about matters of ultimate concern that we, as a culture, have told him he need not justify in the present. It is time we recognized just how maladaptive this Balkanization of our discourse has become. All pretensions to theological knowledge should now be seen from the perspective of a man who was just beginning his day on the one hundredth floor of the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, only to find his meandering thoughts--of family and friends, of errands run and unrun, of coffee in need of sweetener--inexplicably usurped by a choice of terrible starkness and simplicity: between being burned alive by jet fuel or leaping one thousand feet to the concrete below. In fact, we should take the perspective of thousands of such men, women, and children who were robbed of life, far sooner than they imagined possible, in absolute terror and confusion. The men who committed the atrocities of September 11 were certainly not "cowards," as they were repeatedly described in the Western media, nor were they lunatics in any ordinary sense. They were men of faith--perfect faith, as it turns out--and this, it must finally be acknowledged, is a terrible thing to be. ~SAM HARRIS, The End of Faith
