I heard a horrible slur on Liberal women yesterday, and I just can't believe it. I overheard two uncouth "gentlemen" (and I use the term very lightly) exchanging advice on "screwing" and one said to the other, "Just remember the old saying: Righty tighty, Lefty loosey." OMG! I don't know where they heard this "old saying," but it is patently ridiculous to think you could tell such a thing solely from a woman's political orientation! I immediately challenged them, demanding, "Prove...

(Since I seem to have nothing else to write about...) "Something magnificent has happened to me and something extraordinary, and I'm so happy I just can't restrain myself," said Tom Cruise. The BBC is reporting that Tom Cruise took Katie Holmes to the Eiffel Tower and proposed to her. Katie is accompanying Tom on his French War of the Worlds junket, her hand sporting "a large" diamond ring. "Today is a magnificent day for me," Tom told reporters. "I'm engaged to a magnificent wo...

I'm beginning to wonder what American networks would do without English program creators to pillage. NBC in particular can't find the trick to successfully translating its British imports. The concept: Gather as many one hit wonders and has beens as you can and parade them before the audience to wonder over their sad reenactments of the one hit. The come-ons: "What do they look like now?" Mostly old and chubby. "Do they still have what it takes?" With a few exceptions, no. The hos...

I've been very fortunate in my life. I've never had to work. Oh, I have worked. In my dilettantish flitting from profession to profession, alighting just long enough to prove I could accomplish and conquer before taking off for the next pretty flower, I've racked up quite an impressive breadth of experience. But the necessity of work is as foreign to me as "Debbie Does Dallas" is to the Ayatollah al-Sistani. I don't know what it's like to have to do something you hate just so you ca...

When I first read this story I was shocked. But I am sad and disillusioned to find the victim was our very own Grandpa J4J. Wednesday, June 8, 2005 West Bank, Israel A shocking documentary by Arab television network Al-Jazeera has led to violence in the streets here in the West Bank. An unnamed peace loving Jewish man on a mission of mercy was beset by stick wielding Muslim youths yesterday. According to witnesses, the man barely escaped in his car. He was briefly treated at a lo...

It happened slightly after 4 A.M. two nights ago. The cat went crazy. He dashed through the living room, into the kitchen, and flew up into the kitchen window. He started banging at it with his head and clawing at the sill. He hissed like a broken radiator. His tail wagged furiously. I quickly followed him and snatched him up before he could hurt himself. There was nothing outside. I carried him back to the living room, his tail beating against me, his hissing continuing loudly in m...

So, I'm reading "Funny Wikipedia Articles" by someone named Andrew J. Brehm when I happen across this sentence: "The only city in Germany with an explicit prostitution tax is Cologne." Which, dyslexic that I am, I read as, "The only German with explicit prostitution to ask is Col. Gene."     Don't let anybody fool you -- dyslexia is fun!

Invite as many liberals as you can to potlatches. Big Red likes 'em round and spongy.

While browsing BlogExplosion earlier, I happened upon this sad story in Scott-O-Rama's blog. On May 12th, a young man in New York City answered the door to find his sister's ex-boyfriend. Sek Man "Simon" Ng began his blog entry, "Today I missed my Japanese class again, since I have gotten a bad throat," never suspecting it would be the last thing he would ever write. Hours later, police would find Simon brutally murdered and his sister, Sharon, clinging to life. Shortly thereafte...

Hot on the heels of Dr. Guy's article about changes in the Catholic Church, comes this news from the BBC: Beer mat ads to recruit priests The Church is launching a recruitment campaign that will use beermats in pubs and posters on the London Underground to promote the priesthood. The Catholic/beer connection deepens! I wonder if they promote "Free wine and crunchy snacks for all successful applicants!" It's nice to see they're going after high-quality prospects (or at leas...
