Some people complain that, despite swearing they don’t have enough time to do the people’s business in a 90 day session, our legislature finds it ok to shut down for a week so they can fly to DC and meet with their sponsors… the oil companies. I think that Juneau deserves this break to cleanse all the hot air flowing through it before the final push towards adjournment.

to think of anything creative to write today. So make up your own pithy witticism.

I spent an hour Saturday morning listening to a show that recapped the week of Charlie Sheen. I will now read three Dickens novels in one week to make up for what that did to my brain.

Chestnut Hill College for Catholic Virgins, located among the rich and richer in suburban Philadelphia, recently fired a priest who dared to publicly admit to celebrating fifteen years of a monogamous relationship with his male partner.

And this is why I am such a proud graduate of such a small minded institution. Mostly I’m proud I got out before they totally destroyed any humanity left in my soul.

A recent news article led with this amazing sentence:

“In astonishing and personal statements that could turn centuries of anti-Semitism upside down, Pope Benedict XVI says in a new book that Jews are not to blame for crucifying and killing Jesus.”

In related news, there is high suspicion amongst Vatican insiders that Charles Darwin may have been on to something with his theory of evolution. However, the common wisdom is still that at least five more centuries of study will be needed to confirm it.

Charlie Sheen’s kids are fucked from the get go. They don’t stand a chance of ever knowing what normalcy is all about. If he wasn’t Charlie Sheen and that Brook lady wasn’t their mother, the state would have stepped in a long time ago and taken those kids away until both parents sobered up and got a clue. But the law is different for the rich. That’s disgustingly clear.

I was going to write a whiny column about how sick I’ve been all winter and how unfair, in general, life has been to me recently. Then I read Julia O’Malley’s story about the 18 year old with Cystic Fibrosis. I wish I could say that made everything fall into perspective and put my little illnesses in their proper place. But I’m really not that noble. I still feel sorry for myself. I just feel worse for the young lady with CF.

Back in prehistory when I attempted the amazing profession of nursing, I worked on a pediatric unit in

Am I too old to become Colin Firth’s prime stalker? Because I’d really, really like to spend my days just watching his mouth move.

God… is that sicker than I should be admitting in any public forum?

I was prepared to like the movie Red. Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich… what’s not to like. And it would have been easy to like if the producers had just for once resisted the temptation to have the aging hero fall for a beautiful young lady who falls for him. Seriously, have we not reached the point where we can show mature adults in a mature relationship without creating one that makes you cringe because of its overtones of dirty old man and little girl?

Bruce Willis in no longer a young man. It’s time for him to be

So apparently Republicans consider Michelle Obama fair game now. OK. She’s a political wife and engaging in political activities. So have at her political views.

But wait… seems the Republicans are attacking her for being fat, not politically incorrect.  Have any of them seen Mike Huckabee recently? Seems like he’s put on a few of those pounds he so proudly lost a few years ago. Does this mean Dems should attack him for being fat and therefore incapable of being anything but the Pillsbury Doughboy?

Once again, no matter how intelligent or educated a woman may be, she is judged
