So, why Casa Walsh? Well, in addition to being the residence of the Walshes on Beverly Hills 90210, arguably the most entertaining show ever broadcast on FOX, it’s the name of my imaginary college band. Maybe not so imaginary as unrealized. We had the members, Fran wrote some songs (including “Amanda Can Play the Drums” - I may post the lyrics one day, if I can get permission from the author), and most importantly we had a sweet name.


I did a google search on Casa Walsh which came up with a paltry 385 results. Here are the best:


Japanese tourists love the Bev9er house


My next vacation destination


A Christmas Carol


Swedish Bev9er Recaps!

NYT Letter to the Editor:



To the Editor”


So now President Bush, who campaigned in 2000 as “a uniter, not a divider,” has labeled as sinners my wonderful gay son and millions of other Americans merely for being who they are (front page, July 31).


To me, this divisive and hurtful comment is truly sinful.

Just when I think I can’t disagree more with the ideology of our leadership, the President holds a press conference and answers a question about his feelings on homosexuals with  “Yeah. I am mindful that we’re all sinners.” Good one Mr. Moral Crusader. You know, there are some religions that don’t consider homosexuality and gay marriage a sin. And now republicans are trying to prevent same sex marriages with an amendment to the constitution. Or, excuse me, to “legally to protect the sanctity of marriage.” Uh, one, there already is a law preventing federal recognition of gay marriage, and second, doesn’t this go against the First Amendment? Currently gays can get married, but they are not eligible for federal benefits. Now the Pres wants to prevent gays from even using the term “marriage.” So much for religious freedom.
