LOL of the day: the 105 pound mystery

While I’d rather not discuss the whole Elliot Spitzer thing, I found this absolutely hilarious:
Most of the focus was on “Kristen”, the prostitute he met at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC and booked for $1,000 an hour. She was described as, “American, petite, very pretty, brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds”.
My […]

Tid bits: Dolores Huerta’s speech canceled at Catholic school due to her public pro-choice stance

Ridiculous! I am not that shocked that a Catholic school would cancel Dolores Huerta’s speaking engagement, but at the same time, I thought they would have enough intelligence to understand that the talk was about “her founding role in the United Farm Workers and the importance of public service” and not abortion.
Apparently, to the […]

Life Lesson #7: If you wear a skirt in public, it’s 100% legal for people to take pictures of your naughty bits

A man in Oklahoma was found not guilty under a “Peeping Tom” statute for putting his camera up a 16 year old girl’s skirt (without her consent, obviously) and taking photos. Don’t go commando in Oklahoma!
What kind of world do we live in where this kind of violation is legal? At the very least […]

Tid bits: Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics use “sexual experimentation”

I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. Ask my boyfriend and my roommates: I watch it constantly, and I listen to the musical all the time. If Buffy could be a religion, I would be a devout follower.
Since Buffy is no longer on television, I’ve been going through a bit of a […]

LOL of the day: a resume full of “hopes and plans”

Letter to the Editor from the Journal Times of Racine, Wisconsin:
I agree with Kim Morrison that Barack Obama would be a great president. I have hope that he can provide free health insurance for everyone.
I have hope that he can bring our soldiers home and make the world a safer place. I have hope that […]

Female artist of the moment: Missy Higgins

I thought I would take a moment to step off my soap box and blog about Missy Higgins, an awesome musician from Australia who has a lot to say about life, love, and all the other miscellany things going on in her world.
From what I know, she isn’t very big here in the U.S. […]

Reason #389 why I love Bill Clinton

When verbally assaulted at a rally by anti-choicers, Bill responded, and I have to say, I am impressed by his response… and not just because he’s Bill, but because it’s an awesome response. Yes, he got angry, and yes, he may have yelled more than a little… but he did get his point across […]

Dear Barack Obama: Change your attitude about women before you try to change our country.

From Alternet/Huffington Post:
Obama, grave-faced and sympathetic in tone, opined that when Senator Clinton was ‘feeling down,’ she went on the attack to make herself feel better; that is, she committed an error in judgment because she was in a bad mood. That was the moment when I, and other women of a certain age, all […]

Ellen Page is the macaroni to my cheese (sorry, boyf!)

I love Ellen Page. I have a huge, gigantic, unreasonably large amount of love for her. In the words of Juno, “she is the macaroni to my cheese”. This only makes me love her more.
Is “Juno” a pro-life movie?
Not in the slightest, and if you knew me and if you knew the writer and the […]
