As a baby-boomer , I grew up in the shadow in WW II. I learned about Pearl Harbor second-hand, as well as the Nazi horrors. I never imagined that I would see a worse horror, 911, first-hand. But then again, I never imagined that a war like the one in Southeast Asia would be fought again, especially with the complicity of those who shoulda known better. Or that genocide would still be prevalent all over the globe, which in itself is warming, and nobody is taking that seriously because they are betting intelligent design will solve the problem.
Which reminds me! Mel Gibson has annnounced that he is working on a mini-series for TV about the Holocaust. He links Jews to the death of Jesus and, his Dad is a holocaust denier (which is actually illegal in several coutries), My guess about the mini-series? Musical comedy!
We watched the Victoria Secret Show last night, a first. Instead of making Barbie dolls more realistic, they are making women more like dolls, but glowy-er. What a wonderful image for young girls to aspire to! The photography was erratic and very choppy or whatever you call it, so you really didn't get to see the details of the costumes, or as Stinky pointed out, the camera didn't linger long enough to focus on those parts that might be the stuff of which wet dreams are made.
(I paraphrase).
But it did get me thinking about those wings and the how the whole "angel" thing that has swept the country. You can't swing a headless Barbie in this country without hitting someone wearing an angel pin. All these wings made me think of all the bird imagery that's in our national consciousness; hot chick, old hen, turkey, hawk, dove, cocks-of-the-walk, bird flu, wise owl, brave eagle, little chickadee, birdbrain, birdlegs, eats like a bird, bird in the hand, bluebird of happiness, Cock Robin rockin' robin and of course, chicken butt..
I go now to break my fast. I suddenly have an urge for an egg.

A pizza delvery man in Norway was handed his own credit card upon payment. It was stolen from him the day before. Karma, in a perfect world.

I don't get the angel thing either; never have. Angels I have received as gifts have wound up at "Out of the Closet", our local thrift store. I turned past the Victoria Secret show. Made me think of Gloria, my mentor, who once ran a therapy group comprised of strippers, years ago. They paid her their co-payments each week usually in ones. And sometimes those ones were wet, presumably from being tucked into their tightly bra-ed, sweaty bosoms.
Lastly, re: bird flu......
I saw something about KFC featuring a bird flu dipping sauce vaccine. Yummm.......
Interested reader, city of angles.
Leftie; if I didn't know you as the soul of veracity, I'd swear you where making that up.
As for VS, they suck. I went to buy a simple strapless bra, but no, they didn't have any. Huh?
I like your new background better than the old one.
Saurkraut apparently cures bird flu. I am pretty excited about that because I have been craving bratwurst and saurkraut for weeks. I am going to make them in the crock pot Sunday and then I will have a nice meal and also be immune from bird flu. Awesome.
