Got this one from Teddy. =)
Protected: Jesus fucking Christ, this primary is bringing out the worst in people.
I got this article from Donna. I am now ded of cute.
I have ‘Fernando’ stuck in my head. Its Ted’s fault.
Torn between watching the primary results and the Flyers game…
Strained by the demands of a long war, the Army and the Marine Corps recruited significantly more felons into their ranks in 2007 than in 2006, including people convicted of armed robbery, arson and burglary, according to data released Monday by a House committee.
(The full story on the NY Times site.)
Yeah, that’s right. I bought this. In a pink onesie, no less.
Danica Patrick took the checkered flag at the Indy Japan 300 on Sunday! You got with your badass Aries self, lady! =D
Many moons ago, I used to participate in local street races, and to this day, I mourn the loss of the Terminal Island Racetrack in Long Beach. I friggin’ love racing, and I love that Danica is making her mark on the sport.
I’d been waiting since the end of last year for Vanity Fair to print this one particular article in their online archives. A conversation elsewhere prompted me to go looking for it tonight.
I was pissed in 2000, and I’m pissed now.
I was / am a huge, passionate supporter of Gore’s. In 2000, I endured an enormous amount of ridicule from my peers because of this. So much of the sneering garbage illustrated in the VF article was used as ammunition in arguments with me. Perhaps, if so many in the mainstream media weren’t so fixated on idiotic, petty neenering the margin between Gore and Bush would have been larger, and he wouldn’t have been compelled to concede.
In my estimation, friends and neighbors, the world would be a much lovelier place if he was my Commander in Chief.
Its been bothering me for some time that these exact same people deified Gore after he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and An Inconvenient Truth came out. I should be happy that my man is suddenly being showered by so much support, but I’m not. Maybe I’m the one being petty now? I’m still sore. I’m still angry that he was dragged through so much petty bullshit, and that his sudden surge into popstar status because of An Inconvenient Truth made so many people fall in love with someone they vilified six years before. Hypocrisy.
Oh, and Maureen Dowd can still kiss my fat ass.
I’m hungry.
