Christopher Hitchens, for those who don’t know, is an author and a journalist of ill repute. He’s said and done some rather scandalous things in his career. He’s a bit controversial. Here is the guy who supports the Iraq war, but was water boarded for Vanity Fair and declared it –without a doubt — torture. [...]
I feel like a total maroon. I didn’t even know about this. 1892 “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” 1892 to 1923 “I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible [...]
My, my, my. Where does the time go? It’s already July. The year is more than half way done but it feels like barely January. Is that a good sign, or no? Also: What is the deal with this? I can’t even make that stuff up.
I’m a bit cranky today. And yesterday. I just left a snarky comment on another blog to some random commenter for no good reason, other than the fact that they were stupid and when they type, stupid things just came out of their fingers. Wait. Maybe I did have a good reason. Here’s the thing. [...]
I put up a photo gallery over here: Photatas and you might, I don’t know, want to take a peek. I got some great shots (if I do say so myself — and I do. Cause I just did.) of an eagle a couple days ago. I’ve posted them over there for your wandering eyes. [...]
Oh. La la. It’s a new year! It’s eight o clock and I’m just waiting for bedtime. It’s the highlight of my evening. I’m like, DYING for bedtime. Come oooon bedtime! Let’s go! It’s not been a good day, but I’ve resolved to pick myself up by my big girl panties and deal with it. [...]
I think of a million and three things throughout the day that I want to Google. Then, I get home and can’t think of a single one.
Man, I just looked at my site in Internet Explorer. It looks like baby vomit! Frankly, I forget IE is even still around most of the time, so today when I went to scope things out I was shocked at how bad it was. I’m sorry to the people who still use IE and come [...]
It’s amazing the stuff you suddenly don’t need anymore when you’re sick of moving it around. I miraculously decided I could do without five, yes, FIVE bags of clothing. We’re not talking grocery store sacks here. We’re talking hefty lawn and leaf bags. The big ones. I rooted through my closet and out came 5 [...]
We have moved to a new house. We had to give up the rental cause our landlords are going through a nasty divorce and we got swept up in the middle of it. We live in a small town so tongues have been wagging. We’re staying out of it. The new house is lovely. It’s [...]
A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
