Ringing The Bell Of Idiocy

On the second viewing of Rep.Joe Wison sticking his butt in his mouth during the President's speech, I looked only at Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. The VP had that "Dad's going to deal with you later" expression and Pelosi's glare could have frozen Hellfire. I'm hoping to replicate her look the next time The Minion misbehaves. Surely he will pee himself in fear. I know I would.

Margaret and Helen

Helen's latest blog entry. She ripped the words right out of my mouth. My dearly departed mother would have loved this. She was a feisty old lady who spoke in much the same way.

She Says She Was "Surprised".

Knocked up again.

There wouldn't be a surprise if you stop humping like rabid weasels. Or wrap that bad boy. Or get a freaking IUD. But apparently the adherents of the QuiverFull brand of religion do not encourage family planning. Carbon footprint? Carbon freaking stampede.

The Herd of Unwashed

17 years ago, at the age of 23, I was hiking the Applachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. It doesn't feel that long ago. This is the time of year the hikers come through our town and if I see them in the store or laundrymat I ask them if they need a ride to the post office, back to the trailhead, etc. I tell them what year I hiked, and then I feel really old. Sigh.

Anonymous Thoughts on the Sarah Palin Resignation

Corrupt muppets in evil high heels. This person is quite possibly my soulmate.

The Shame of Rabbit Hoarding

At times I think I'm a bit odd. But this lady has me beat.

We should all embrace the quirks that make us who we are...but without jail-time.
