Eliot hoisted by his own petard

I have bronchitis and have been confined to quarters so I've had plenty of opportunity to read and obsess about Eliot Spitzer, betrayal, abuse of power, the arrogance of the powerful and why such a large majority of men can't keep their dicks in their respective pants.

Spitzer's own suggestion that johns should be made accountable for buying sex should be reason enough to bring criminal charges against him, not to mention using state troopers as pimps, improper money transfers and being a loathsome, hypocritcal, mendacious rat bastard!

I'm really disliking politicians.

I am very dismayed about Obama's people screaming racism at every turn; Ferarro's comments were about as racist as they were sexist- how ridiculous.

Barry, this is sounding pretty negative to me. Can't we all just save the venom for McCain?

See, I got all worked up, had a coughing fit and must now go gargle.
Another politically related incident!

Also, a message to the person (one supposes) who left a comment on my post about the Fibromyalgia article in the Times and told me to just "snap out of it":
idiocy can't be cured either so I guess we are in the same boat.

Spring ahead this weekend

Ugh, it can't come soon enough. I spend the Winter in Mondo Mucus amid the Fountains of Phlegm. You know really, s'not funny! I have been a grumpy bitch, (more than usual) I even yelled at the dog. She peed on the rug, probably because I had the temerity to go out for the day. Yelling only made her do it again the next 2 nights. She pees in the AM when the heat comes up just before Steve takes her out. Sigh, Carrie Lee has issues and responds best to coddling. (but I am seriously considering crating her overnight) We have a weekend of storms coming- we plan to cozy up, nurse our colds and Netflix ourselves.

My beautiful friend Vera sent me an email to let me know it's Beautiful Women Month. I can honestly say with no bias that all of my female loved ones are beautiful- you know who you are!

This was part of the email:

Five Tips for Women

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on! and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

It made me spit out my tea!
I am one of the enchanted that has all four men in one (for which I count my lucky stars daily), my darling Stinky.

Here is some stuff stuck in head:

Last month the government of Italy passed a law prohibiting men from touching their genitals in public. This apparently ancient custom started over the superstitious belief that it would ward off evil. Hmmm, right, evil always goes for the balls. Unfortunately, this custom is not restricted to only the Italian male. What's up with that?

This week, a state senator in Arizona, in response to the terrible spate of school shootings nationwide as has proposed a law allowing concealed firearms in all schools, kindergarten to college. Sure, let's arm everyone.Crossfire? Who cares! It's better to have dead students than to outlaw guns? What the fuck?

Today: ( fill in your own comments please)
Srinagar, Kashmir city officials announced that they will after poisoning 500 stray dogs they intend to kill the remaining 100,000. Argggghh.

The Britain has instated a "tap water only" policy and will no longer serve bottled water at gov't meetings due to popular support for the environment. Nice!

In Brazil, an 8 year old boy who passed a law school entrance exam will not be allowed to study there until he completes elementary and high schools. Huh.

This post is in honor of Joel who requested it and who, although sometimes a self-admitted pain in the ass, has occasionally been a surprising source of support. Mwah!!!

Politics clarified

The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.

Larry Hardiman

So apt!
