There are many things in this world that I have trouble processing: Republicans, oysters, tofu, how the Packers deserved to win another Super Bowl, and women tend to occupy my top five…and not necessarily in that order. Today’s list has me scratching my head, which is where I’m going to leave it. If I think about things too much, it’s just going to make my head hurt.
….SIlly me; I’d always assumed that by the time one had reached a point where one could be elected to lead a state such as Texas he’d have a working knowledge of geography. Then again, I’m not at all convinced that Governor Goodhair could find his backside if you spotted him a map and a flashlight.
….Clearly, Charlie Sheen is not your average mortal….
….Women: can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. Now, we can’t even trust ‘em…’cuz they’re sneaking up on us.
….What could a 20-year-old have to say about anything that would be worthy of a memoir? Yes, I understand Bristol Palin may not necessarily be your average 20-year-old…but even if you accept the idea of a memoir from someone so young, doesn’t calling it Not Afraid Of Life seem a bit…well, presumptuous?
….You know, if it wasn’t for those evil, greedy unions and their pensions that we the public subsidize, life would be so much more…wait, what? Oh, you mean that public employees are subsidizing their own pensions? Oh, well…I guess that means we’re just going to have to find another reason to hate and demonize public employees, eh?
….A good argument for becoming a militant Lesbian: up to half of men might be carrying the HPV virus. Damn…remember when sex used to be fun??
….Dogs. Is there anything they can’t do??
….Remember when CNN used to be something resembling an honest-to-God purveyor of news? Yeah, I can’t either…and neither can Jon Stewart.
….I may have been a History major, but even I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the GOP regimen of budget cuts that may cost this country 700,000 jobs. Perhaps this is the “we have to kill the patient in order to save him” reform plan?? It’s all about jobs…except when it’s not.
….OK, so the new breast milk ice cream fad may end up being rather short-lived. At $22+ per scoop, this is probably a good thing.
….You have to know that the abortion debate has taken a turn for the weird when a fetus will be testifying at a hearing in the Ohio Legislature.
….Well, strictly speaking it doesn’t meet the definition of cannibalism, but it’s difficult to escape the reality that the Super Rich (the top 2% of earners) are eating America. How much is enough? Well, if you have to ask, you don’t have nearly enough.
