salsa
sometimes i wonder what it would feel like to just let go. to only focus on what is right in front of you. to just trust your instincts, the natural ones, not the ones society teaches you. i watched a salsa lesson and that is what it looked like: the people who were good had this natural ability to just let go, to be comfortable in their bodies and to just see what happened. the people who were uncomfortable, were unsure of how to move, they knew that people were watching them, they cared about the consequences. sometimes i want to forget about the consequences.

uhmmm. ok, you're a freak
Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos decked the front of their Manhattan mansion this year with a scene that includes a knife-wielding 5-foot-tall St. Nick and a tree full of decapitated Barbie dolls. Hidden partly behind a tree, the merry old elf grasps a disembodied doll's head with fake blood streaming from its eye sockets.Krupnik says the display is intended to call attention to the commercialization of Christmas.
right. well, all i see is a decapitated doll with blood on her face.

my holiday "soapbox" moment
wow.the lion the witch and the wardrobe is fantastic. i read the books as a kid and re-read them as an adult but, i was skeptical of the movie due to the “overt christianity/proselytizing” claims in many of the reviews. the christian symbolism is there if you know what you are looking for. Aslan makes the ultimate sacrifice, Edmund is “saved” twice—once by Aslan’s sacrifice and again by a red colored liquid which he drinks, the white witch is evil and offers immediate gratification but leaves you cold and empty, etc, you get the point.
however, the deeper message goes way beyond christian principles and touches you in a profound way, deep within your heart maybe even your soul. it is that place that yearns for a better world, that wishes for kindness and innocence. it touches you regardless of your religious beliefs because it is not really about religion. it is about love for humanity and hope that we will care enough to display the goodness that we are capable of.
i loved it, please see it.

squirrels gone wild...
Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park. Passers-by were too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute. They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh. A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.
what the....? a pine cone shortage. my god, eat the leaves or something!

when stupidity pays
The Stella Awards are named after 81-year old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's for millions.
This years runners up are:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas won $14,500 after being bitten on the arse by his neighbour's beagle. Mr Williams was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun at the time.
Amber Carson was paid $113,500 by a Philadelphia restaurant after she broke her back from slipping on a soft drink which she had just thrown at her boyfriend.
Kara Walton of Delaware sued a nightclub and won $12,000 after falling from a bathroom window and knocking out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge.
The winner is:
Mrs Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma who purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago. On her first trip, she drove on the freeway, set the cruise control at 70 mph and went out back to make a sandwich. She crashed. Then sued for the manual not advising her not to do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company then changed their manuals on the basis of this suit.

Insensitive, cruel comments, making light of human tragedy inserted in red.
Man Pleads Guilty in Horse-Sex Case
A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex case. [in order to make this news-worthy, they felt the need to specify that this was a “fatal horse-sex case”; and why was the man only guilty of trespassing?]
James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission. Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse [dumb-ass, you are pleading guilty of TRESPASSING – couldn’t you come up with a better reason?], charging papers said. Tait was videotaping the episode [no doubt with the intention of black-mailing the horse later] when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his death [oh, come on! What happened? You don’t spontaneously suffer internal injuries! Did the husband horse find out and went on a rampage? Was the (mad)cow jealous? We’ll just have to wait for the video, I guess. Don’t you just hate the media nowadays? First it was: “Your kids can die at any moment – we’ll tell you how at 11:00” Now we get “You can die from internal injuries while enjoying sex with your favorite barn animal, more on that later but, first, here’s a look at traffic”].
Tait pleaded guilty Tuesday and was given a one-year suspended sentence, a $300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no contact with the neighbors. [what about contact with horses? This guy’s lawyer is gooood.]
The prosecutor's office said no animal cruelty charges were filed because there was no evidence of injury to the horses. [just wait til the video hits the internet - horses have feelings too]
[Remember, this was a simple story about a guy pleading guilty to trespassing into a neighbor’s barn. If the horse sex is left out, here’s how it would read:]

a sad, sad day
Today, at approximately 2:45pm all blogs were blocked from my company computer. All of them, every single one.
thank god for my driver’s license and my US passport
Four Saudi women teaching in a remote village school have married their driver so they can live closer to work, Al-Watan newspaper said on Monday.The newspaper said the women from Al-Baha province in south-west Saudi Arabia were impressed with the man's "good morals" and decided to marry him and live together in the village where they teach -- avoiding a tiring daily commute.
They were married in a short ceremony, and have agreed to pay the driver a share of their monthly salaries, Al-Watan said.
Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, while men can marry up to four women according to Islamic law.
Originall,y women drivers was an unofficial ban, but it became law in 1990, when 47 women from the Saudi intelligentsia challenged the authorities by taking their husbands' and brothers' cars out for a drive. However, a recent column in the newspaper al-Watan actually blamed women for causing traffic accidents, saying they interfere too much as backseat drivers.

can we make it a class action
A viewer has sued NBC for $2.5 million over a "Fear Factor" rat-eating episode, alleging the episode made him dizzy, lightheaded and caused him to vomit and run into a doorway. (From the Associated Press, January 26, 2005)
fear factor made me throw up and have nightmares after i saw the animal penis roast episode. for those of you who missed it, 4 people, 4 different animal penises, 4 sticks, and one fire. they had to roast and eat the entire thing without throwing up. are you sick yet? Do you think we can sue?

the politician "formerly" known as a white supremacist
David Duke, a "former" white supremacist, on a recent trip to Syria claimed he represented "peace-loving" Americans who identified with "peace-loving" Syrians and their "great, peace-loving president," Bashar Assad and his family. He also said that Americans identify with Syria, because both Syria and the United States are "occupied by war-loving Zionists."
i cannot believe people are buying this rubbish. a man who is the former grand wizard of the kkk is calling a family who is responsible for the deaths of over 30,000 innocent villagers (in two days) "peace loving".
what is a war loving zionist? better yet, who is a war loving zionist?
and former my ass. that white hood is hanging in the back of his closet so he can take it out and remember the "old" days with fond memories.
Syrian parliamentarian Muhammad Habash welcomed what he called "Duke's wonderful visit" and said it had given Syrians "a new and very positive view of the average American."
what could be more positive than all of syria thinking that america is full of minority hating bigots? i guess after we kill all the war loving zionists we will attack woman and gay people. won't that be a beautiful day for all the "peace loving" people that Duke and Assad represent.
David Duke said the United States is "occupied" by Zionists, just like the Golan Heights. "It is not just the West Bank of Palestine, it is not just the Golan Heights that are occupied by the Zionists, but Washington D.C., and New York, and London, and many other capitals in the world," he said. "Your fight for freedom is the same as our fight for freedom." Duke said that the "Zionists" were in control of most of the American media and much of the government as well as major international cities.
god dammit, ever since those zionists occupied the USA, we haven't been able to spout anti-semitic, racist propaganda. and dammit all to hell, they also think it should be illegal for white separtists movements to have weapons. i think we should just secede.
seriously, soon Duke will be claiming that there is a "jewish conspiracy" and that Protocols of the Elders of Zion is true. and just to clarify, in this city at least, Jews or "war loving Zionists" as Duke opined, make up only 1% of the population. According to the 2001 American Religious Identification Survey, nearly four out of five District residents self-identified as Christians. This breaks down to 72% Christian, 13% stating no religion, and minor religions including 4% Buddhist, 2% Muslim, and 1% Jewish.
Duke was elected to the Louisiana Legislature in 1989.
this nut job is working to help minorities in louisiana? right. and GWB deserves a nobel peace prize.

naked criminal
A naked Florida man was accidentally shocked in the genitals by a police Taser while breaking windows and asking women to touch him inappropriately.
how do you "accidentally" Taser someone in the genitals? Doesn't it seem like having to bend down, extend your arm towards the genitals, make contact and then Taser is a little more complex than an accident?
but really, who cares if it was accidental? it seems to me that if you commit crimes while nude, you are taking an unnecessary risk with your genitals in the first place.

here she is...miss crack cocaine
what the hell is going on with brazil and beauty pagents?South America's latest beauty queen won't be campaigning abroad for world peace any time soon, unless, of course, she's granted early parole.
Angelica Mazua, a statuesque Angolan serving five years on international drug smuggling charges, on Thursday was voted Miss Penitentiary 2005 after a six-hour contest pitting 40 women inmates from 10 prisons around Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo.
The women, serving sentences for crimes from armed robbery to drug trafficking, were vying to be named Miss Penitentiary 2005 — a title that brings a $160 prize and a break from dreary routine.
Last year's winner, Fernanda Maria de Jesus, gained early release months after her victory, but prison officials insist the shortened sentence had nothing to do with her winning the title.
Prison officials came up with the idea of a beauty contest last year as a way of trying to boost inmates' self-confidence. Judges include celebrities, soccer players and journalists, and there are prizes in three other categories, writing, public speaking and congeniality.
who pays for this stuff?

Spanking the monkey
Now that Michael Jackson has fled to Bahrain, Paris Hilton is filling the "crazy celebrity with monkey" void by walking around Los Angeles with her pet primate, called Baby Luv. However, when she visited Agent Provocateur, Baby Luv went bananas, biting Paris and clawing at her face. Paris tied the monkey to a cabinet, then bought $400 of panties. Ominously for Baby Luv, she also purchased a bullwhip.(FYI: Michael Jackson reportedly disciplined his chimp Bubbles by shaving his arse.)

Irish stereotypes
A nursing home in Ireland has hit on a cheering way to keep up the spirits of its elderly patients -- by providing its own pub.
St Mary's Hospital in County Monaghan, near the Irish border with Northern Ireland, believes ready access to a good pint may help its patients -- average age 85 -- actually live longer.
"We would say the whole social aspect of life does extend the years -- it means the patients aren't bored to death," Rose Mooney, assistant director of nursing told Reuters.
The pub, which opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. and charges normal bar prices, had also led to an increase in the number of visitors, she said.
Having its own bar made the hospital, which has around 140 patients, unique in Ireland, she added.

popbitch news
It's hard to believe it was only one year ago that George W Bush was re-elected President. Since then he seems to have lost almost every single friend. Even his own family.
One Popbitch reader was at a Texas dinner party recently and sat next to a friend of Barbara Bush, Dubya's mother. Over the meal she confided that the Bush family only ever called the President by his rather patronising family nickname, "Junior". And that on a recent hunting trip she'd asked Barbara what George was like.
"Junior? Hmmmm..." Barbara apparently sighed. "He's not like the rest of us."
Mrs Bush's friend leant towards our source to explain.
"Here in Texas... that means he's stupid."
(FYI: Actually Dubya does have one fan - 50 Cent.
He's been defending the President from Kanye West's attacks, saying, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. People responded to it the best way they can.")

“god’s mistake”. He said it in a completely serious manner, like saying President Bush was elected for a third term or something that grievous in nature.
Caprice: God’s mistake?
BS: Yes. They are completely disgusting. They aren’t even symmetrical.
Caprice: Symmetrical?
BS: Yes. Their appendages are in funky places and the scuttle like bugs. Their hair is matted and patchy. I hate them and wish they were all dead.

barbie and ken to reunite
for those of you who were concerned:Almost two years after the closely watched celebrity couple split after a 43-year romance, Ken is considering a makeover in an effort to win his doll baby back. This wouldn’t be the first time Ken reinvented himself. In the 1970s and ’80s, he took up inline skating and boogied to disco tunes; in the ’90s he focused on his careers as a businessman, baseball player, explorer and rock star.
In early 2004, Barbie split with Ken and headed to a California beach, where she caught the eye of Blaine, an Australian boogie boarder.

it makes me shake with rage to know that someones relatives have been blown up at a FUCKING WEDDING. what kind of target is that? that is not about war, or even revenge. that is just random acts of violence and hatred. and it hurts my heart to know that our loved ones are never safe. how many more times will we have to frantically call our friends in indonesia or the mid east or new york, or london or here?!!!

GOTV Part 1.5
The other side “Got out the Vote”. My candidate lost to the incumbent of ten years. She stomped her foot in the debate. She publicly claimed that when she doesn’t understand a bill, she just votes how “they” tell her too. Who are they? I don’t think they are the voters. But the most appalling is when she refers to gay and lesbian voters as “you people.”
Why do we vote by party and not by principle? Who thinks that “you people” is ever appropriate? Isn’t that like calling a black person “boy?” It has the same connotation. So really, regardless of what you actually believe about gay rights, or even gay people, doesn’t public decorum condemn the use of “you people?” Isn't it a matter of principle?

Get out the Vote Part I
I spent the weekend working on a political campaign. I really love politics but I would be a horrible politician. It’s the mood swings that do me in; the whole wear your emotions on your sleeve and a temper bigger than Howard Dean’s will always keep me off the ballot. But maybe it is better that way. I don’t know if I want all those people in my house, literally. This time around “headquarters” for “Get out the Vote” weekend was in the candidate’s house. So at any given moment 30-60 people could just be chilling on the couch or the porch or trying to use the bathroom. That water bill is going to be outrageous.
In 2004 I worked on a local election in England. I found myself hanging out with the candidate and her family. I had never met these people, I didn’t live in their country let alone their neighborhood and yet I found my self having fish n chips with them two nights in a row. They were nice, I did a lot of leafleting for them, and they had a shrine to Merlin. You are thinking that they have a shelf of Merlin statues and that I am just exaggerating for the sake of amusement. I am not. I really mean a shrine. A three foot alcove covered with Plexiglas; inside, a painting of Merlin and a small shelve for candles. Beneath the candles, a very large piece of statuary which the candidate informed me was her “most prized possession.” She bought it with her inheritance. It’s a round wooden table that seats all of King Arthur’s Knights. Statues of Guinevere, Merlin and King Arthur complete the piece. They have gems for eyes.
On the flip side of weird candidates are the weird constituents. Canvassing, literature drops, and just plain old solicitation were the activities for the weekend—before you say anything, it was not solicitation like prostitution! It was solicitation as in standing in parking lots asking people to vote, specifically to vote for the candidate I work for. I was attacked by two dogs and a man with Confederate flags on his truck told me to fuck off. You never know what you’re going to get when you “Get out the Vote.” An elderly woman asked if our candidate was pro-life or pro-abortion. We explained that he was pro-choice and she asked again, “does that mean he is pro choice or pro abortion?” We brace for verbal assault and explain that he believes that every woman has the right to choose. The assault never comes; instead this little old lady says “Thank God, I am tired of the government telling people what to do with their bodies!! And by the way, is Jesus Christ your savior?”
Part II tomorrow. Remember to Vote.

animal lover
Huddersfield (England) man Martin Hoyle was spotted by a passing motorist having sex with a Staffordshire bull terrier called Badger. Hoyle told police "I can't help it if the dog took a liking to me. He tried to rape me. The dog pulled my trousers down."
what is there to say to this? i mean really, if you are the police officer who has to take this report, what do you say?
scam alert
i think my mom is trapped in the body of a 16 year old. first it was naked men in my in box and now it is this. she finds this particularly hilarious because she sent it to well over 100 people and she sent it to me twice. anyway, in case you were unsure, here is some good advice: this is a scam-don't put your boobies on a cardboard box that a man is wearing on his head.

do any of you know the recipe for crack?
So I am still part-time at the bookstore. Don’t ask why because I have no answer for you, maybe because I am masochistically inclined? Anyway, three new stories and yes, one of them does involve the bathroom.
The kids department has a table and benches. Not the kind that you or I would sit at, but the kind for kids and by kids I mean infant to around 7. So this GINORMOUS family; mom, dad, and kid sit down at the table. They proceed to unpack a full lunch from subway including foot long sandwiches for each of them with chips and a drink. Then they start eating their food and reading magazines like the bookstore is their house or something. What makes people think it is ok to couch out in the bookstore? Despite what you may think, this is not your house—go home!!!
Two kids were having sex in the women’s bathroom and someone complained. Had to send someone in to tell them that only women were allowed in the women’s bathroom. They came out and continued to shop. Need I say more?
Three teenage guys, dressed in solid black and wearing black lipstick, inform me that they need a book on how to make crack. Yes, crack. As in Marion Berry with the prostitutes smoking it up, crack. A recipe. They came to the bookstore and asked for a recipe to make crack. Being the calm and collected individual that I am, I laughed in their faces and informed them that the bookstore does not carry recipes for crack. They replied that it was for school; their teacher wanted them to know how to make crack. I kept laughing.

Oh My God, Can't they take the kids away?
Thanks to RitMeyer for posting this story. This delightful bit of news is so good I had to share it too. Oct. 20, 2005 — Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.
Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine. Songs like "Sacrifice" — a tribute to Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy Fuhrer — clearly show the effect of the girls' upbringing. The lyrics praise Hess as a "man of peace who wouldn't give up."
"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."
Lynx and Lamb have been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their mother April. April home-schools the girls, teaching them her own unique perspective on everything from current to historical events. In addition, April's father surrounds the family with symbols of his beliefs — specifically the Nazi swastika. It appears on his belt buckle, on the side of his pick-up truck and he's even registered it as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification.

new job, magic beverage machine
i started yesterday. it's pretty good. i think i will like it in the long run. nice people, nice office, good pay and the flavia machine. i thought i had a cool coffee maker. i have a senseo, the kind where you put in pods, press the button and presto you have fabulous coffee with froth on top. my senseo is the k-mart of machines compared to the flavia. the flavia has over 100 flavors of coffee, tea, and chocolate. you pick the packet you want insert it into this little door and push a button. your drink pops out and there is not even any trash!! it's like magic!! i love it.

a moment from my secret blog
Oct. 19 2005
cressida's departure is really impacting me. we are all in different places; pursuing new lives. it is so amazing but also a little sad. i posted this on my other blog but i want you guys to know how much i love you, how important you are to me.
Sept. 19 2005
i feel like we should embrace our friends and make them our "family". we get to pick them and they get to pick us. that makes the bond even dearer.
my life long friend is smart and beautiful. she has passion and drive when she chooses. i love to talk to her and discover new things and ideas with her. we have been friends a long time. together we watched our parents go through childbirth, adultry, divorce, and making it work. we have gone through middle school, highschool, college, and post grad and still we are friends. sometimes it is easy: when we debate, when we stay up late, we we just hang out and appreciate each other. sometimes it is hard: when we fight, when we walk away, when we are stuborn. sometimes it is scary: when i don't know how to help her, when i think she is really lost, when i know she is sick, when i suspect that she is scared, when she thinks i am judging her, when she believes i am trying to change her. sometimes it just is: when i tell her things i can't tell anyone else and she doesn't have to respond, when we have those honest moments and things seem alright in life and the world.
my anytime friend is the nicest person i have ever known. she cares so much about everyone else that she forgets to care about herself. she is funny and cute and lets people be themselves. she never expects things from others but is willing to give whatever she has to anyone. i really admire her. she makes it easy to be her friend. i love her and i hope she knows. i want her to succeed and to be happy. i hope that one day i will be able to give her all the things that she gives me.
my all the time friend. she is my rock. she is always there and always has advice. sometimes i want it and sometimes i don't. but she thinks i need it, so she gives it. there is hardly anything i don't tell her. she is smart and caring and has a lot of hope. i enjoy that she is not cynical or a down. in each other we have that special friend that you can always let go with. we sing karaoke and dance to britany, or lay around singing 80s crap music and disney. we share our hearts and she also shares her family when she knows mine is not working. this friendship takes the most work but it is always worth it. we are kindred spirits.
my newest friend. i have known her as long as the rest but we only really developed our friendship in the past few years. she is stunning and kind. she loves animals and boys. sometimes i feel like i know her but sometimes she is still an enigma. she doesn't share her secrets or really let me in. she has this whole part of her that is shut off. sometimes i wonder if it is shut off to me or to everyone. when she does open up, you find this mine of ideas and interests. she is smart and easygoing. she is sensitive and sometimes i forget. i hope that she forgives me. i hope eventually she lets me know her.
my oldest friend. literally and figuratively. she has played a lot of roles in my life: my mom, my roomate, my sister, my friend. i love her and her family. she is my family.
to all my friends,
i am so thankful for you.
i love you

Dear Cressida,
tomorrow you drive
you leave behind all the old
stuff you don't need
bad memories stay
no need for you to take those
but take the good ones
select carefully
sometimes the bad ones turn good
it just takes awhile
more importantly
have no regrets with your life
this is the first step
you are very brave
letting go of everything
going by yourself
i hope you find it
that peace you are searching for
good luck i miss you

so you're saying i have ambiguous morals?
| My World View |
You are a happy, well-balanced person who likes people and is liked by others. You question whether many conventional views on morality are valid under all circumstances. You are essentially a content person. Sometimes, you consider yourself a little superior. You are moral by your own standards. You believe that morality is what best suits the occasion. |

scenes from a bookstore: TAKE TWO
SCENE ONE
today you have a stalker. he will follow you around the store for three hours. he never says anything. he just stares at your chest and licks his lips. when it is time for you to do section maintance you will sit down on the floor to scan the bottom row of books. your stalker will get as close to you as humanly without actually touching you. then he will stand there looking down at you while you try to do your work.
SCENE ONE
you are standing at music desk, manager pops over and says "will you go stand outside the women's bathroom?" you say "why?" manager says, "remember the crazy lady with the cane? well when she busted in on the indian women it broke the lock on the door and there is a man here to fix it. and he is going to make it more secure so that no one else can do that." you say, "wow" and walk over to the bathroom door so you can explain to angry old women why there is a man in the womens room.

do you think I could have a gypsy curse?
the fam and the neighbors go on a boating trip on some lake in germany. i am in a little paddle boat with the daughter from the other fam. my brother and the son are in another paddle boat, parents on big, nice boat. kids paddling along, minding our own business when a motor boat filled with men, of either turkish or roma lineage, motor up to my boat and steal me.
this is for real!!!
they grab me and pull me into the lake and then into their boat. all the other kids start screaming as they are riding away with me. eventually, the parents realize what is going on; they have a bigger, better, and faster boat so they get me back. fifteen years later everyone always makes jokes about how dramatic my life is and what horrible luck i have. i guess, when i consider other peoples lives, mine is spectacularly weird. so my question is, do you think i could have a gypsy* curse and do you think i should get a talisman** ?
to buy your own curse try Gypsy Curses Inc.
*gypsy and roma mean the same thing. but, it is like saying eskimo instead of inuit or midget instead of i don’t know what.
**Although most Roma converted to Christianity and Islam, their religious affiliation is often supplemented by Roma traditional beliefs:
the power of curses
the existence of bibaxt (bad luck)
the power of good luck charms, amulets and talismans

scenes from a bookstore on columbus day
SCENE ONE
you walk in at 8:45am and things seem normal. but then you open at 9:00am and you realize that things are not always what they seem. as the first person walks towards you, you smile, but not all the way to your eyes, and think, "oh holy jesus, why the f*ck didn't i call out today?" the customer asks their question, usually something ridiculous like "do you sell cliff's notes to Harry Potter?" or "who wrote the bible?" you help them and get the hell out.
SCENE TWO
you look over at the thomas the train table and see that a child is just standing there peeing. you look at the mom and think "are you going to clean that up?" the mom looks back at you and says, "i think you should clean that up." you look at her and think, "i hope your child grows up to be the next charles manson and my child grows up to be the attorney that puts him in jail."
SCENE THREE
an old fat lady with a cane informs you that she needs your "help" in the bathroom. this is never a good sign so you make sure she understands how busy you are and call a manager to assist her. three minutes later same old lady with cane and angry indian lady are standing in front of bathroom screaming and old lady is waving cane in slightly menacing manner. manager says, "ladies, i do not think this is the appropriate place for this behaviour." cane lady starts screaming that indian lady should "go back to india and get out of this country and stop using the handicapped bathroom!" indian lady then makes threats in foreign language and moves into an offensive position. fighting escalates until both women are escorted away from bathroom door and out of store. story unravels and you find out that cane lady wanted to use the handicapped stall that indian lady was using. when indian lady would not vacate said stall after several taps on the door with cane (also brandished as weapon) cane lady busted open the stall door and verbally and possibly physically assaulted indian lady as she sat on handicapped toilet. when indian lady still would not vacate after assault, cane lady came in search of assistance which is how you are drawn into scene in first place.
you walk in at 8:45am and things seem normal. but then you open at 9:00am and you realize that things are not always what they seem. as the first person walks towards you, you smile, but not all the way to your eyes, and think, "oh holy jesus, why the f*ck didn't i call out today?" the customer asks their question, usually something ridiculous like "do you sell cliff's notes to Harry Potter?" or "who wrote the bible?" you help them and get the hell out.

Dear Greece, YOU BETTER WIN!!!!
Dear Denmark and Georgia,In normal circumstances I would never send you a picture as blatant as this. However, we are far from normal circumstances. You see, Greece are the European Champions and well, you're not. Greece is the team that I purchased World Cup tickets to see and you are not. Basically, Greece is going to win today and Wednesday and YOU are not. For today, and at least until South Africa in 2010 the above picture is all I have to say to you. So there it is. See you on the pitch.

mr sekulow is a bit extreme and makes some very exaggerated claims. here is one for you to consider. if you want to read more let me know and i will email you the entire text.
"At the same time, the opposition (including Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, National Abortion Federation, National Organization for Women, Center for Reproductive Rights, and others) can bring an astonishing amount of money to the case - because the massive profits of the multi-million-dollar abortion industry hang in the balance."

i am really curious, as i am sure you are, to know when the abortion industry became a multi-million dollar idustry with "massive profits." i would also like to know how said "profits" benefit "the opposition" which are all non profit organizations. so far my questions have gone unanswered. i have called and emailed using the numbers listed here but, i get no response. maybe today, if we all call and email we will get a response.

Question for Betty
Real telephone calls to "Betty Crocker":
Hello, Betty?
I just found a Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix in our civil defense bomb shelter. It must be over 20 years old. Is it okay to use?
~telephone call from Arizona, 1990
Hello, Betty?
On your advice, I went ahead and made the Angel Food cake mix that we found in our bomb shelter. It rose just beautifully. You were right. It worked after all these years because it was stored in a cool, dry place.

how does this crap happen to me?
today i received a large envelope via fed ex. it contained a letter saying that i had been automatically entered into a lottery and that i won. $94,000 actually. and there was a check. for nearly 5k.
i traked the package and it was real. i called the bank and it was real. i googled the lottery company and there is nothing. i called the lottery company's US number and they transfered me to the UK branch which is only open during central eurpean hours. handy huh?
how did this place get my name, how did they get my unlisted address, and what are they trying to get from me? the whole thing is very annoying. and i am not even a real lottery winner. damn.
i guess you have to play to win. :P

call me old fashioned but sexed up six year olds are not a good thing
Why are six year olds dressed in high heeled shoes and bra tops? Why do six year olds have on make-up? Why is there a bikini diet book made “especially for teens”? Why is there a book about middle-schoolers having blow job parties? Perhaps the better is question is why do parents buy these things? And why do they complain about the consequences?
In a country that is overrun with “girls gone wild” surly we should not be promoting promiscuity in six year olds? Why do six year olds need to be sexed up anyway? Britany Spears in not a good enough reason. When I was six I liked Michael Jackson and Madonna. That did not mean my parents bought be a pointy bustier and let me grab my crotch in public. It meant they bought me a record and I watched some videos on MTV when they weren’t paying attention. Then they would talk to me about how Madonna wasn’t a role model and show me stuff about Mary Lou Reton.
Today, people are dressing their children like miniature Pamela Andersons and then putting them into parochial schools that teach “abstinence only.” At six, a child can wear knee highs and fishnets, kiss boys, and talk about her boyfriend. But at 16 she can’t have access to condoms and doesn’t know the basics for protecting herself. Something is very wrong with this picture. Sexpot six year olds do not turn into sexless sixteen year olds. Who thought that was going to work?

California Pizza Kitchen
I ate at California Pizza Kitchen last night. After I had one piece of pizza we saw a big ass black bug right next to our table. It was really gross and super sized. Anyway, this guy came over and swept it up in one of those really yucky non electric sweepers and took the entire thing back to the kitchen. I hope it was a male otherwise the actual kitchen at CPK is going to filled with real bugs that are super gross.
So now I have a dilema. There is a whole pizza minus one piece in my fridge. Every time I think about it I see bugs. So my question is do you think I should suck it up and eat it or just throw it away?

Katrina has destroyed so much
And it makes me feel horrible that we can do so little;
That I have no way to help the survivors.
Red Cross is taking donations and
I hope that you will click on KATRINA and give.
Now that the water is receding I fear people will forget
All the suffering and loss that will take years to rebuild.

Justice Sunday II: The Mantra Decoded
Number one, it's a new day.
Number two, liberalism is dead.
Number three, the majority of Americans are conservative.
Number four, you can count on us showing up and speaking out.
And number five, let the church rise.
~Jerry Sutton, Two Rivers Baptist Church, site of Justice Sunday II
Mantra with my commentary
Number one, it's a new day.
this is true. amazingly, it is a new day every 24 hours.
Number two, liberalism is dead.
liberalism : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties
i had no idea that the free market was dead, that individualial liberty was dead, that the goodness of the human race was dead, and that protection of political liberties was dead. where the hell have i been living? all this time I thought it was the United States.
Number three, the majority of Americans are conservative.
and the majority of Germans supported Hitler. as my mom says, "just because everyone else does it, that doesn't make it right!"
Number four, you can count on us showing up and speaking out.
you can show up and speak out only if your political and civil liberties are protected. two words: slippery slope
And number five, let the church rise.
is this like "let the south rise?"
this is bollocks. that is all i have to say.

What about our daughters Dr. D?
Apparently James Dobson disseminated a guide in one of his 2002 newsletters on how a father can prevent his son from turning gay. The advice included roughhousing with him, teaching him to throw and catch, showing him how "to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard" capped off with this: "He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger."
I wonder what tips Dr. D would suggest to save a daughter from being a lesbian?
Take your daughter to William Sonoma and Victoria's Secret. Show your daughter your boobs so that she will see that she has them too, just like you, only smaller. Put on make-up with your daughter. Teach her to bake round cheese cakes in round cheese cake pans.
To this I say:
Thank god. For a minute there I was afraid I would have to send my (potential) kids to Mercy House to "degayify" them. But now I see that with a few simple steps I too can raise non-mo, "right with the lord," children.
Thank you Baby Jesus
and thank you Dr. D

today i read Madden Widow's blog. Check it out http://www.maddenwidow.blogspot.com/. Madden Widow is pretty funny and makes some really valid points about grown men and video games. Then, these idiots get on her blog and leave the most outrageous comments. it is a prolific display of male stupidity. it is so offensive that i started laughing. i am still laughing.
i will be laughing for a long time.
guys, i am laughing at you. not with you.

Once again, they want to lay it off on Eve
In 1994, then-Archbishop of Portland William Levada offered a simple answer for why the archdiocese shouldn't have been ordered to pay the costs of raising a child fathered by a church worker at a Portland, Oregon. The child's mother had engaged "in unprotected intercourse … when [she] should have known that could result in pregnancy," the church maintained in its answer to the lawsuit.The church — which considers birth control a sin — seemed to be arguing that the woman should have protected herself from pregnancy.
William Donohue, president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights based in New York, said the legal language was "simply code for, 'What's wrong with you, honey, aren't you smart enough to make sure condoms were used?”
911, do you have an emergency? Well to bad!!
I called 911 last night.
A friend called me as she was walking home around 9:45PM.
Some weirdo jumped out of a bush and wouldn’t leave her alone.
I put Amy on 3-way and called 911. She told the dispatcher the problem and the dispatcher responded with “You called Arlington County, she is in Fairfax County. We can’t help you.”
Then the dispatcher gave me a 9 digit number to call.
So I am glad I had a pen.

Is it legal to solicit donations for yourself?
I read a book called “Save Karyn” about a girl who created a website and asked strangers for money. She had loads of debt and needed help and people gave it to her. She paid off an incredible sum, like $30,000 or something from donations.Today I discovered that I have $4.00 until next Friday. Then I have 2 ½ weeks until I am unemployed. At this point, I too am considering asking people I don’t know for money. I wonder what the tax issues are with that. Do solicited donations count as gifts or do you have to list them as taxable income? It’s not like I would be going out to buy 100$ jean jackets but still, technically it would be for profit.
Anyway, I am looking for a clever way to ask strangers for money. So give me your thoughts.

Harry Potter, AKA Ha-li Bo-te
Author JK Rowling's boy wizard Harry Potter is wildly popular in China, where he is known as "Ha-li Bo-te". Is he really known as that or is BBC making fun of Chinese accents?
Unauthorised Chinese versions of the latest Harry Potter book have been sold in Beijing, three months before the official translation is published. Sold for 20 Yuan (£1.40), the unofficial Chinese version was said to omit paragraphs and contain errors.
Potter readers have posted their own international translations of the latest book onto fan websites, with thousands of German versions posted fewer than 48 hours after its English-language publication.
Wow, this is some serious dedication.
On China's Tsinghua university website, a fan writing under the name Woodchuckle was so upset by Rowling's ending that he wrote and posted his own.
Ok, things may be going overboard now.

Middle Management? That sounds great!
So, I am officially in my quarter life and while I am not HAVING a crisis, it certainly seems to be filled with crisis. I was laid off from my job. Boss says it is about money but I think it is personal. I work in this super scary office in DC. Some things I have heard:
“The bombings in London happened because we didn’t kill enough of those people.”
Who are “those” people?
“We run this office like Jesus and the Disciples.”
What the hell does that mean?
“The Washington Post is a communist rag!”
Who knew?
Anyway, so now I have to find a new job and I a little skittish. I mean what if I get hired at another office like this? But even worse, what if I don’t get hired at all? I am terrified that I will be unemployed at 25 with enough school debt to pay for a house. Well, a small house that is not in DC but you get the point; loads of debt. Apparently my office mates do not feel like I will be hired by anyone either. They have pulled up all the unemployment forms I have to fill out upon termination. I have just learned that if you are willing to stand in line, the government will pay you 60 percent of your original salary.
You know that monster.com commercial where the kids say things like, “when I grow up I want to work my way to middle management” or “I want to be a brown-noser?” You think it is hilarious when you watch but then you find yourself in a situation like this and you think, “hell yes, I will work in middle management! Heck, I will work in the Middle East if it will pay the bills and keep the debt from piling higher.”

Again, I am speechless
A blind man in Tallahassee, Florida has been having sex with his guide dog. Alan Yoder, 29, has been is charged with a "breach of the peace, by engaging in sexual activity with a guide dog," as Florida laws don't prohibit bestiality. He was found out when he asked a female friend to join him in a threesome with his dog. She prudishly refused, and instead told a friend who called the police.
did you know?
She-ra fights "For the honor of Grayskull" and He-man fights "By the power of Grayskull."Honor: good name or public esteem : REPUTATION: a showing of usually merited respect
Power: possession of control, authority, or influence over others: physical might: mental or moral efficacy
