Karma's a B****, and so is Ann Coulter
Ann Coulter's jaw wired shut! We're sooo sad....
Page Six is reporting that right-wing agitator and controversy-seeker Ann Coulter's jaw is wired tightly shut.
I know, I know. If the report is true, It's almost as if our prayers have been answered.
Apparently it was broken, but by whom, no one seems to be sure. We could hazard a guess, but why throw roses yet.
The blogosphere is already aquiver over the idea of a forced Coulter Moment of Silence.
Finally, the Right Wing Barbie Doll has to shut up. This is, after all, the woman who called 2004 VP nominee John Edwards the F-word in 2007 while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the 'gay hate word' " so I'm -- so, kind of at an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards, so I think I'll just conclude here and take your questions."
The rehab reference was a right-wing joke (and we use the term loosely) about actor Isaiah Washington using that word for his “Grey’s Anatomy” co-star T.R. Knight and been forced by the network to undergo psychological treatment.
But her unfunny comments drew criticism from all fields, Democrats, Republicans and gay rights groups.
But here’s the best part about the Coulter broken jaw news. No really, this is really good: Seems she has a brand new book titled "GUILTY” due out in early January and, of course, was all booked on TV and radio talk shows to discuss the “much-needed reality check on a Left gone wild," declares the book's jacket.
Her latest work reportedly exposes and mocks the media's love affair with all things Democrat and all things President-elect Barack Obama.
Too bad Ann won’t be able to say a word about her new book.
That’s just a gosh darn shame.

My name is Ike and I'm a GG fan
One of my favorite blog reviews, Hot Clicks, reported that it's okay for guys to watch Gossip Girl. This is a big relief. The two reasons given were the GG ladies (Leighton Meester & Blake Lively) and Chuck Bass, who they call "the best character on TV right now." Also linked is a list of the 10 Current Chick Shows That Are Bearable To Watch. I have a problem with numbers 2, 5, 6, and 9. Classics missing from the list are Top Chef, Project Runway and One Tree Hill. As for a list of the Most Unwatchable:1. Tell Me You Love Me

Two Plaguing Questions: Answers Revealed
Two things I bet you wanted to know, at least a few of you, on that momentous Tuesday night: who was Oprah leaning on in that crowd; and who designed that dress of Michelle Obama's that I loved/hated?
The answers, according to the Tribune, are "no clue" and "Narciso Rodriguez," respectively.

"Do you ever think I'm fooling everybody?"
One thing is for sure, Cameron Crowe certainly knows how to make a movie with one hell of a soundtrack. I am reminded of this as I watched Elizabethtown this morning. I had forgotten what and endearing movie it is, ya know being from Kentucky and all.
I especially like the scene where Drew and Claire have an all night phone conversation while Bloom is staying in the Brown Hotel and Dunst is at her home in Nashville. I have to say I have experienced this a time a two…what a beautiful feeling getting to know someone for the first time.

Hate's Last Stand
(Sorry for the long post, I thought this article was worthy...)
It's racism and homophobia, neck and neck, down to the wire. Can they hang on?
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Let's not get carried away.
Let's not go so far as to suggest we're about to enter into some sort of fluffy utopian tofu puppy happyland where nipples fly free and consciousness expands and the fetid rivers of racism and homophobia that course through the American heartland like acidic sewage somehow magically vanish, somehow become dramatically curtailed, should the twin forces of progress known as President Obama and a vanquished California Proposition 8 somehow come to pass.
Let's not be naive. Just because it looks like the Western world is about to get its first black intellectual president, just because the nation's most influential and populous state could very possibly decide, finally and forevermore, that two adults of the same gender can get married without the cruel hammer of religious ignorance crashing down upon their heads, well, this can't possibly be a sign that racism and homophobia, two of our three most revered national pastimes (don't forget the sexism!) are going away anytime soon.
Unless it can. Unless some of our darkest cultural demons could finally be up for a major exorcism. Could it be true? Could this vote, at the very least, be one hell of a giant step forward in the fight against two toxic beliefs that have poisoned the American mindset for ages? Let me suggest: You're damn right it could.
Maybe you're not convinced. Maybe you need a sign, some sort of indicator of what's truly at stake, something that proves we are at a turning point not merely of tax brackets and energy strategy and foreign policy, but of the very tone and flavor of who we are and what we value as a nation. Yes? Easy enough.
Here it is: Just listen to the screaming.
Can you hear it? It is the Grand Rule of Bigotry, same as it ever was: Prejudice and fanaticism tend to yell loudest and cling on the hardest when they are most threatened, when they know their worldview is slated for imminent demolition.
Just look. As I write these very words, big-money ultraconservatives are joining churches and temples and sad, sad priests nationwide in extolling their fearful throngs to send huge portions of their life savings straight to the gaggle of pro-Prop. 8 extortionists, in an attempt to ban gay marriage and crush what essentially amounts to a type of love they cannot, will not understand.
And because they cannot understand it, they fear it. And because they fear it, they do as paranoid, fear-based religions have done since the dawn of a man-made God: They try to kill it.
The screaming is downright deafening. Right now, the Prop. 8 fight is second only to the presidential race in sheer dollars raised. The good news is, the homophobes are being outspent by the non-terrified by about four to one, with major corporations like Apple and Google coming out very publicly against it. The bad news is, the religious right is panicking, rallying, pulling out all the stops to get Prop. 8 passed, no matter what.
But here's the tragic part: They don't really know why they're panicking. They don't really know what the threat is, exactly. Except for the loss of their own power. And control. And cultural relevance. Besides that, I mean.
But they do know one thing: If California goes all-in for marriage equality, it's a slippery slope indeed until other states eventually follow suit, and before you know it the entire country will have to let love in and recognize scary gay people as valid Americans -- you know, just like we did not so long ago for those awful black people.
Ah yes, the racism. Not so easily parsed, and not so easily answered by a simple legislative proposition, given how much more deeply it infects, how much more nefariously it's woven into the very fabric of the nation.
Right now, even more than the homophobes, the racists are out in force. Nauseating indeed have been some of the e-mails readers have passed on to me in the past year or so, often the result of someone forwarding one of my pro-Obama columns to a conservative friend or relative they once deemed capable of ideological flexibility -- or, at the very least, respectful disagreement -- only to receive back a note crammed like a shrapnel bomb with the very kind of venomous language you want to believe doesn't exist anywhere except maybe our most hateful rural backwaters.
It's a repulsive portrait of Obama indeed. References to Nazis, radical socialism, Muslim terrorists, a new black uprising, interracial marriage, gangsta rap, and of course lots and lots of the N-word, all wrapped in layers of hate and ignorance so rancid it's like some sort of xenophobic fantasia where Rush Limbaugh interbreeds with Michael Savage in Ann Coulter's personal vat of battery acid and pain.
But these are not merely the usual hot little spews of hate from the expected places, like the rural Midwest and the South and dumb-as-dirt skinheads from Tennessee. The race baiting has gone upmarket. From Sarah Palin's carefully worded Caribou Barbie flirtations with white small-town America, to the attempts to link Obama directly to black '60s militants and domestic terrorism (and don't forget those "radical" black churches), if you have any doubt whatsoever that McCain's Rove-trained team of jackals isn't trying every trick in the how-to-bait-a-racist handbook, you haven't been paying much attention.
So then, I am not here to suggest the impossible. I am not declaring that President Obama and a DOA Prop. 8 will somehow instantly put a cap on the fire hoses of discrimination and intolerance that regularly spit their bile across the land. This is not really the point.
The point is, once again, all about energy. About tonal shift. A deeply intelligent black American president changes the racism game forever, at a very deep level indeed. And a resounding defeat of intolerance in California sends perhaps the most powerful message yet to the conservative screamers across the land.
The message is this: You do not have to change your beliefs. You do not have to budge an inch on your views. You are still free to hate black people, still free to fear gay people (or demean women) all you like. It's simply that we as an Obama-led, gender-inclusive nation no longer have any real use for your brand of poison. We are done with you.
And if that's not a magnificent jolt of progress, I don't know what is.

Ladies, form an orderly queue...
INTELLIGENT, cultured, 22y/o wm seeking Asian women (pref. Nihonese)
Date: 2008-10-16, 3:29AM EDT
Hello ladies of the internet!
I am here today, as are you, to find the love of my life ideally. Now, I am an introspective and reflective man so over my life I've come to realise exactly what I'm looking for in my ideal woman.
Personally, I am 22 years old, my name is Perseus, I am attending U of T in the final year of my Engineering degree, and I am a little on the chubby side. I am a dedicated Green party voter and staunchly opposed to the Conversative hordes dashing themselves against the impregnable Liberal/NDP/Green keep of our fine enlightened city. I am fond of discussing philosophy and the meaning of life over a glass of wine in the 'even. As hobbies go, I am an avid gamer and enjoy delving into the myriad artistic realities of animé (the origin of my affinity for Asian culture, which is frankly superior).
You MUST fulfill the following requirements:
- Asian
- Woman
- Aged NO MORE THAN 23
- - and NO LESS THAN 16
- Petite build. Ideally no more than 115 lbs.
- - but no 'Paris Hilton' bulimics please! I like my women with some meat on them.
- Like sushi, animé, and video games.
BONUSES include:
- Japanese heritage
- Large collection of animé and manga
- Glasses
- Interest in cosplay and roleplaying
- Traditional Ladies' education
I must stress again that this is for a SERIOUS, long term relationship. Not some 'fling' as though I were a boy toy to be tossed aside.
Indirect Publicity for BBB from the NY Times
Palin piques the blogosphere
By THOMAS POWELL AND JOE LIMA, IDG
Blog mentions are, like search terms, something of a special case. They probably show the least conclusive representation of candidate support, because there is no way to assess whether such mentions reflect a preponderance of positive or negative evaluations of the candidates.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that negative mentions of candidate A by blogs supporting candidate B, and vice-versa, are very common indeed.Probably as a result of this variability in the motivations of blog posters, the presidential candidates are broadly similar in their number of blog mentions over time, with a slight overall advantage to Obama, steadily diminishing over time and ultimately giving way to more recent advantage for McCain. Throughout, there is a great deal of day-to-day variation that is likely attributable to blog coverage of particular campaign events, both offline and online.
In a striking example of this news-driven nature of blog postings, both presidential candidates were completely eclipsed, beginning in late August, by blog mentions of the their respective running mates -- with relative-newcomer Palin, in an echo of the spike in popularity of her name as a Google search term, being far more widely mentioned than Biden during this phase.
Here are Technorati numbers as charted by techPresident.com:
This pattern also tends to echo, perhaps somewhat more surprisingly, the way in which the traditional media cover campaigns, with more-or-less equal time devoted to each candidate over a long span, but with week-to-week coverage favoring the "newest" story, and with plenty of apparently event-driven day-to-say shifts in the balance of coverage. Perhaps the real news here is that patterns of coverage in the blogosphere and in the traditional news media are not so different after all. But that is a topic for another article.

Dude
I realize that John McCain is not his brother's keeper, but it seems that the two do share the same hair-trigger temper and foul mouth. Check out Brother Joe's heated 911 call, because of...what? BAD TRAFFIC. In Virginia. Who'd have thought??? Srsly though, you're going to have to drive that sh-t on down to "Real Virginia" if you want to avoid gridlock.
Itsy Bitsy Houses
real estate is crazy right now. (duh). everything's way more expensive than it should be. (duh). people are going broke just trying to keep up on their homes. (duh).
this could solve all those problems! itty bitty houses! 150 square feet=$15/yr in utilities. (i'm guessing they don't have the comcast digital triple play package with HBO and Starz, but whatever.)
i don't know about you, but something about that itty bitty house is very appealing to me...

McCain Campaign Volunteer Admits Alleged Attack Was a Hoax
A woman who lied about being attacked because of the McCain bumper sticker on her car will face charges of filing a false report.
FOXNews.com
Friday, October 24, 2008
Ashley Todd, who says she is a McCain campaign volunteer, told police she was mugged, then pinned by her assailant, who cut a "B" into her face. (College Republicans)
PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old John McCain campaign volunteer has admitted to lying about being mugged and attacked by a man who carved a "B" into her cheek after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car, Pittsburgh police announced Friday
Ashley Todd, 20, will face charges for filing a false police report. Police said they had found several "inconsistencies" in her statements in which she claimed she was robbed at knifepoint at a Citizens Bank ATM in Bloomfield.
Earlier in the day, Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard would not say whether police doubted the story alleged by Todd, but bank surveillance footage did not show Todd at the ATM where she claims the assault took place.
Richard told FOX News that Todd had been staying with a male friend who lives down the street from the ATM.
A woman named Liz who answered the door at the residence where Todd arrived after her alleged attack told FOXNews.com that her roommate is friend's with Todd, and he told Liz not to discuss any details about the incident. A Ford Taurus with a Texas license plate and a McCain-Palin sticker was parked outside.
Todd, from College Station, Texas, told police that on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET, a 6'4" black male in dark jeans and a black tank top held her up at the ATM. According to a police report, Todd said the robber put a knife to her neck and demanded money. She said she gave him $60.
Todd, who is white, also told police that the robber then noticed the McCain bumper sticker on her car, punched her in the back of the head, knocked her down, and continued to punch and kick her while threatening to teach her a lesson.
"You are going to be a Barack supporter," she recalled the robber saying before he sat on her chest, pinning both her hands down with his knees and scratched the letter "B" on the right side of her face using what she believed to be a very dull knife. Then the robber fled, she said in the police report.
Richard said Todd later added to her tale, saying she was groped by the robber and lost consciousness during the assault. Neither of those details was in the original report.
Richard said after a second interview, Todd also was not as definitive about the assault or the motives behind it, nor could she say for certain whether the robber took $60 from her as she initially reported but maintains is missing.
Todd took a polygraph test late Thursday or early Friday after police heard the inconsistencies, Richard said.
'There were major changes in her story" before and after the polygraph test, Richard said. As for the wound on her cheek, "it's very shallow, it's more of a scratch."
Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department's investigations division, said Todd can't explain why she invented the story or explain how the "B" was scratched onto her face.
Before Todd's admission, Richard said the police department was taking the report "very seriously" and considered Todd a "victim" while the investigation was ongoing. She noted that victims often tend to forget details of situations that happen to them under duress.
The area at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street where the attack had been alleged to have occurred is heavily traveled in the daytime, full of traffic, pedestrians, restaurants and stores. On Friday, Pittsburgh detectives were canvassing the area looking for witnesses. Before the police announcement, a detective told FOXNews.com that investigators had talked to a few people but had "nothing solid."
Doug Graham, a neighbor of the residence where Todd's friend lives, told FOXNews.com it's unlikely an assault at the bank would go unnoticed.
"There ain't no way nobody saw that," Graham, whose home -- where he has lived for a decade -- sports a Barack Obama sign. "It's always hopping up there. Something fishy, I knew the first second I saw (her story. Something fishy."
Ethan Eilon, executive director of the College Republicans National Committee, told FOX News Todd was volunteering as a field representative through his organization and that she had taken a year off from her studies at Blinn College to work on the campaign.
Todd received a call from the Republican presidential nominee and has spoken with her family. Barack Obama's local campaign team also issued well-wishes to the Texas resident.

Ok let me first say that I am in no way making light out of this situation you are about to witness. Most of you know how I LOVE the show Intervention. Well last night I saw a truly troubling one. As if they all aren't? Anyway, the subject was Allison, a former pre-med student. Allison is addicted to computer cleaner. She huffs it. Up to 10 cans a day. I ask you all to go to the link listed below and watch the trailer for the episode. You can also find this episode on OnDemand currently. I will not say anymore as to not ruin anything for you, but I am telling you this episode is worth thirty minutes of your life.

Sarah Knows Fashion!
Sarah Palin is always such the fashion plate. In this picture, you can see how she's wearing a lovely scarf--which is the ultimate in fashionable accessories as of late.
Notice the "Vote" theme...notice the patriotic red, white and blue colors. Notice the...DONKEYS...
Oooops! Someone forgot to tell Sarah that Donkeys are Democrats!
A glimpse at the future
If you guys were wondering what a Palin presidency would look like, check this site out. It really helped set my mind at ease knowing glory was only a "heartbeat away." If you happen to be anti-American this site might worry you, but check it out any way. http://www.palinaspresident.us/

Gag Me With a Booger Spoon
And I thought Sarah Palin was bad. Just check out Michelle Bachmann, who's running for reelection in Minnesota. I'm so unbelievably sick of our so-called "leaders" breeding anger and division in our country. I would say "she's the real anti-American," but then she'd have gotten exactly what she wanted, right? Anger and division.
After watching the video, you may want to visit http://www.censurebachmann.com/ and sign this petition. Who knows if it will do anything, but if silence makes you complicit, I don't want any part of it.

More Bold Ideas
From the august halls of P.E.T.A.
A 19-year-old girl from N.C. has legally changed her name from Jennifer to CutoutDissection.com, in protest of animal dissections in schools. This article reports that she first began opposing dissections in middle school, when she was asked to dissect a chicken wing. The girl, who now goes by "Cutout" (you can't make this sh-t up), is an intern for P.E.T.A.--where great minds work tirelessly to promote great ideas. Obvi.

Boy feeds Aussie zoo's animals to croc
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.
In this CCTV image, the boy throws a turtle over a wall at the Alice Springs Reptile Center.
The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.
The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.
The boy also fed several live animals to Terry by throwing them over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.
In the footage, the boy's face remains largely blank, Neindorf said, adding: "It was like he was playing a game."
By the time he was done, 13 animals worth around $5,500 had been killed, including a turtle, bearded dragons and thorny devil lizards, Neindorf said. Although none were considered rare, some are difficult to replace, he said.
"We're horrified that anyone can do this and saddened by the age of the child," Neindorf said.

Alice Springs police said they are unable to press charges against the boy because of his age. Children under age 10 can't be charged with criminal offenses in the Northern Territory. His name was not released because of his age.
Neindorf said he plans to sue the boy's parents.
The boy's small size is probably the reason he didn't trip the zoo's security system, which relies on sensors to detect intruders, Neindorf said.
"I just want people to learn that they can't let their children go and run amok," Neindorf said. "If we can't put the blame onto the child, then someone has to accept the responsibility."http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/10/03/australia.zoo.carnage.ap/index.html

Just throwing it out there...
If anyone would like to give me a lesson on comma placement, I'm all for it. I have known for years that I misplace and overuse them. As for the poor grammar...get over it. I write just as I speak.
He's Crafty
Ok so this guy is apparently quite the mastermind. First of all he robbed an armored and fled the scene by means of inner tube and a nearby river. But that's just the start of it. Apparently he used Craigslist to recruit decoys for his escape. He put out a post asking for road maintenance workers and he specified that these laborers must all wear a dark blue shirt, safety goggles, a mask and a yellow vest. Those dumb enough to show up to a "job site" wearing such attire quickly discovered they had been duped when news of the robbery spread.
Oh Craigslist, so handy in so many ways.

The Geriatric Trifecta
This morning, while watching the news, the following commercial came on:
First of all I cannot get over the grandmother at the end that says, "All senior citizens should wear life alert." It rings in my ears and makes me giggle all at the same time.
Now I know it isn't correct to make fun of the elderly and I want to make it clear that these are not my intentions. With that said, I decided to compose a list of all things I will need for when I reach the elderly age bracket just in case some of you all are doing your Christmas shopping for the coming century. Of course Life Alert is a the top of the list followed closely by:
And of course I could not go without this handy invention:

All hail The Rascal shown above in regular and premium versions. I, being the simple woman that I am, much prefer the simpler version but it must be in the shiniest red possible. My friends and I have often discussed our whereabouts at age 80. The general consensus being the Rosebud Bar pulled up to an outside table sitting proudly atop our Rascals. If you don't know this location but would like to join, just hit me up on my Jitterbug.
RIP part deux
House Peters Jr. has passed away from pneumonia at age 92. For those of you that don't know, and I didn't either at first, he was the original Mr. Clean.

A few things:
George Bush report card, via Letterman:
Bet you thought SNL was being clever with its Sarah Palin send up? Nope, just pretty much repeating exactly what she said:
And lastly, I always thought journalism was a bullshit major. Palin proves it, letting us know you don't actually have to READ a newspaper or magazine to graduate with a degree:

RIP
Today I found a dead body. He was lying in a downtown parking lot. Yep, he was a bum and he was most certainly dead. The saddest part was that people were just walking right by him. I even stopped a man who assured me this guy was breathing and that the flies surrounding him were simply due to the feces covering his backside. Now if that isn't a sign of the deceased I do not know what is. Thankfully by the time I parked my car someone had called the proper authorities and I watched them take him away in a body bag.
Don't know this man, would probably never want to but can't help but wonder how long he "napped" there before he was acknowledged. Humanity much?

Food for Thought
Why is it that when you do something TOTALLY insane to someone who more than likely deserves it, you feel a little bad about it? Or do you just feel bad that other people found out about it and now think you are crazy?
(As I type this a man just opened the door to the coffee shop and yelled something random about the n word and a white woman. He then furiously slammed the door and everyone around was pretty much in awe. Guess "crazy" is the theme for the day.)
Without going into specifics, I pretty much had a monumental crazy moment this weekend. It has resulted in much guilt and shame, but then again after all that happened between said person and I, it seems about right. Does anyone ever stop to wonder why a person might go a little nuts sometimes. Perhaps maybe it has something to do with the mounds and mounds of hurt they are feeling based on not just one, but several events. I am not justifying vigilante acts, but occasionally a person can only take so much blame. I guess most are just better at swallowing it than I.
Anyway, enough with the heavy mumbo jumbo. I have posted a totally unrelated photo of my sexy, white legs doing a little karaoke. I figured you all needed a good laugh after that.

Pretty Comfortable
And not at all awkward looking. I'm talking about Posh Spice's shoes--if you can call them that. Very Aeon Flux.

Paul Newman
so, Paul Newman passed away on Friday. very very sad. he was a stud from beginning to end, made great movies, seemed to be quite classy, had a long marriage, and made great spaghetti sauce and pink lemonade. let's have a moment of silence and rememberance for this handsome man.
i think one of the most charming things about Paul Newman was the way he talked about his wife and their 50 year marriage. my favorite quote ever from him is in regards to how and why he was faithful for 50 years in hollywood:
"Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?"

Heather Locklear arrested in Montecito on Saturday for driving under the influence.On the bright side--upwards of 40, no makeup, crying and under the influence--she still looks pretty darn good.
