Time To Take The Cyanide Pill

Yeah George, you're right- Let's talk about family values...



Maybe you could start with keeping your daughter off her back for at least the first 100 days.

Seriously, this chick is one Stoli-o and Sprite away from a night vision sex tape. Oh sweet lord, please, please let it happen before the State of the Union.

This is really happening isn't it?

Bush Takes Oath of Office for Second Term


Well...everybody join hands and prepare to be bathed in the sweet, sweet love of Jesus Christ. Because everybody knows that being cleansed by the blood of the lamb really takes the edge off of US social policy being pushed back an entire fucking generation.

Oh well...3 years and 364 days to go.

There's gotta be a joke in here somewhere...

The President may keep his head warm with a beaver-pelt cowboy hat given by the National Cattleman's Beef Association. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' president, Ingrid Newkirk, has asked Bush not to wear it, pointing out that beavers share many of his values, including strong family ties and mating for life.

A brief interlude...

I noticed my recent postings have turned almost entirely political over the last weeks; mostly because it's hard to let something so irritating just slide by without comment. But, I got this whole blog started in order to say stupid things about myself, not regurgitate stupid things said by Bush (even though it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel). So going forward I promise to return to our regularly scheduled snark, self-deprecating stories and dick jokes. Cause y'know consistency is next to godlessness...or wait...did I get that one wrong? Ah fuck it....it's good to be back.

Another MENSA moment....


When asked why Osama Bin Laden has not yet been caught, Bush responded simply, "Because he's hiding."

Who says compassionate conservative is an oxymoron?

The WP fronts what it says are a few dozen House Republicans who are against Bush's officially unannounced S.S. plans. "Why stir up a political hornet's nest when there is no urgency?" asked Rep. Rob Simmons, Conn. "When does the program go belly up? 2042. I will be dead by then. (Via Slate )

Over at McSweeney's John Wanninger plays a fun game. He takes Bush quotes that reference the words "God", "The Almighty", and "The Almighty God" and replaces them with randomly generated names from the 80's Edition of Trivial Pursuit.

This one is definitely my favorite:
"We say in our country, everybody matters, everybody is precious in the sight of Lee Iacocca". Oct. 31, 2002



And let us say, "amen".

Tim Roemer, anti-choice Democrat to lead DNC?


Where have you gone Howard Dean? The nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

("because you're the best the of the bunch who are running right now" doesn't really fit the tune though, huh?)

Hey you guys....

I'm pretty sure this is for real as it came through the main Tsunami Help Blog. This woman, Michele Agnew, has offered to donate a dollar for everyone who leaves a comment on her site. It's free and only takes a few seconds so there's really no excuse not to do it. Please click here to donate. All money goes to Oxfam.

YEE-HAW...I'm a sex machine!

The morning-after pill is a pedophile's best friend,'' Wendy Wright of Concerned Women of America, a public policy group, said in a statement after learning of Galson's decision in May. ''Morning-after pill proponents treat women like sex machines".

Ladies: When sitting on a bible during the afterglow just won't cut it: Planned Parenthood comes to the rescue. Added bonus- a new study says taking emergency contraception won't make you a slut, or, sluttier, should that be the case. Additionally it is estimated that half of the 3.5 million unintended pregnancies that occur each year in the United States could be averted if emergency contraception (EC) were easily accessible and used, according to background information in this article.

Haha you Chisto-crazie fuckwads!

Umm...I love the smell of self-loathing in the morning

The Truth Laid Bear ecosystem is something I accidentally came upon when I was deep in one of my web-based comalike zoneouts. The Bologosphere Ecosystem mirrors the ecosystems you'd see in any basic biology class but with a twist. They actually do a once a day scan of all weblogs and come up with a ranking in the ecosystem for each blog based in on how often it is linked by other blogs. Based on the hit count your blog is ranked within the system. At the risk of losing my cynical/bitchy/eyerolling "voice" I must admit, I found this exciting- almost to the point of being gigglely. So I put the code in my blog (not an easy task for someone as tech-tarded as me) but I did it anyway. And then I went to bed, still a little excited to see what the morning will bring.

And then I opened my eyes to this:
I'm a
Insignificant Microbe
in the
TTLB Ecosystem

Thanks guys...really. Gee, I hope I don't get voted off the island.

Year in Review

In the interest of full disclosure: the following is a purely self-indulgent exercise meant more for my own need to record & reflect rather than for the purpose of being an entertaining read. It’s kind of like intellectual masturbation, which is, I promise, far less interesting than it sounds.

2004 Personal Year in Review

States visited:
New York
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
Florida
Las Vegas
Rhode Island
New Hampshire
Illinois

Countries:
USA (so sad)

Things I wanted to do in 2004 (and did)
Start writing again
Clinic work for Planned Parenthood
Learn to count cards
Get promoted
Be able to afford my own apartment in Manhattan
Paint said apartment (correctly)

Things I wanted to do in 2004 (and did not)
Be able to afford my own apartment in Manhattan and not have to use quarters I find under my couch to buy coffee
Run a 5K race
And the obligatory: Lose 10 pounds and quit smoking

Things I want to do in 2005
West Coast trip- Seattle & LA
Go somewhere in Europe, just me, a backpack and a camera
Learn to play poker well enough to sit at a table in AC and not look like a total jackass
Learn Chess
Start taking photographs again
GET A NEW FUCKING JOB
Obliterate credit card debt
Run the damn 5K
Two words: Savings Account
And the obligatory: Lose 10 pounds and quit smoking

Things I intend to do in 2005, which I probably will not:
Obliteration of credit card debt
Learn Chess
Lose 5 of those obligatory 10 pounds

Biggest loss: dissolution of former co-habitation situation
Biggest gain: Doing it now, as opposed to 5 years from now when it would require lawyers

Greatest realization:
That I am pretty good at my job, trivial as it may be. And, that I am, in spite of it’s triviality, learning a few things that will allow me to eventually do something of value. Or something even more trivial, but for a lot of fucking money.

Worst Realization:
That I am finally old enough that certain doors are closed to me, which means there are things I thought I’d have or do, that I now know I will not.

Most Exciting Moment:
Getting kicked out of a Vegas casino for counting cards- kind of like breaking your blackjack cherry.

Most Annoying Moment(s):
It’s a tie between working and listening to my upstairs neighbors fuck.

Funniest Moment:
Well there was this stripper, a gay bar, and a broom closet.......

Most Shameful (but still funny) Moment:
Being trapped in 30th Street Station from 3 AM- 5AM, drinking room temperature vodka out of a crushed seltzer bottle and having to fake a twitch every time it looked like a bum was going to come talk to me.

2004 Memorial
In honor of my grandmother, Elsie Axler, who believed that you can never be too rich or too thin, but that neither of those things are necessary in order to be fabulous. And she was definitely fabulous.
