My new "happy" site

F*** My Life - FML : Your everyday life stories.:

"Today, my boyfriend of 2 years sent me a text messages saying, 'Don't worry I'm gonna break up with her soon. Love you.' FML"

Not funny...

but going there anyway.

Therapist or The Rapist?

State Police said that the school resource officer at Tamarac High School in Brunswick became suspicious when Hastings picked up the teenager, then a freshman,  from the school and claimed to be his sister. An BCI investigation revealed that she was the boy's court-appointed counselor and that she had allegedly moved the counseling sessions from the school to her car in the school parking lot. Police said that the teen has admitted having sexual intercourse with Hastings during September and October last year.

 

Although there are no allegations that the sexual contact was forced, the age of consent in New York State is 17. Coffey had argued that the teenage boy had allegedly threatened to expose Hastings if she ended the affair.


Wonkette has a...heart?

Wonkette : McCain Campaign Office Manager Accused Of Child Molesting:

"Child molester scandals are not funny, like hooker-diaper scandals, or comically implausible, like the Larry Craig wide stance scandal, and they reveal no particular hypocrisy like the old “Gay-hating Republican hates gays, except when they are sucking their cocks” scandals. Child molester scandals are horrible for the accused and the accuser."

A) I happen to agree.
B) It is almost amazing that Wonkette takes this stance, and I applaud them (especially Sara) for saying it. Some things are funny, some things are crass, and some things are a horror perpetuated by evil and sick people who do not deserve to live within society.

Love the GOP sometimes.

I’m confused

How can 2,000,000 blacks get into Washington, DC in 1 day in sub zero temps when 200,000 couldn’t get out of New Orleans in 85 degree temps with four days notice?

I have been asked to send this apology for my earlier e-mail. I am sorry that it was received in a negative manner. I do hope that we are going to be allowed to keep our sense of humor."

Oh My!

I left my iPod at home today.

I forgot how awful life can be without music playing in my ear.*

I have a radio, so I suppose I could listen to the Beg-a-thon on WAMC, but...do I really want to do that?


*Seriously. Darfur bad. Holocaust bad. President Palin bad.

They have a point...

Wonkette : Fat Cat Obama Gets Unfair Luxury Perks In Exchange For Job That Any Loser Could Do:

"President Obama gets to enjoy all sorts of goodies as the leader of the free world, such as a fat salary, a driver and a chef, and free transportation to just about anywhere."

Not a particularly good one, but a point nonetheless.

Today's Horoscope

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): You've dealt with significant recent adversity, but please stop comparing your plight to that of Jennifer Hudson. She experienced an unthinkable family tragedy and still performed at the Super Bowl. All you did was lose your iPhone.

I am excited about this.

Cold Souls: Kaufman-esque Sundance Comedy Lands Movie Deal:

"Souls stars Paul Giamatti as an actor called Paul Giamatti, who discovers a company that offers to transplant or store human souls, only to give his own soul up in favor of someone else's."

I had not seen this until a couple of days ago...

It cracked me up.



Via HuffPo.

Shocking!

Breaking: Obama's Brother Locked Up In Nairobi Pot Bust!:

"George, the half-brother of Barack Obama, was arrested in Nairobi for possession of illegal drugs. The dude had one joint!"

BHO has his own Billy Carter!

Let the recession role!

In four years, I fear, it will be morning in America again.

Why Felix? Oh! That's why.

Battlestar Galactica Review: Why Is Gaeta So Bad?:

"Last night's Battlestar Galactica episode, 'The Oath,' about a violent, tragic anti-cylon rebellion in the Fleet, was one of the series' best. It was also a character study of how a good person goes bad."

In a quote from a friends-locked LiveJournal entry, a friend says, "I look forward to watching Felix die a very slow and very painful death. Every time he winced as a result of his leg I felt a little jolt of glee."

One has to ask, what is the point of this character?

For years, this very compelling series has been a sci-fi counterpoint to post 9/11 America. It was "24" where the end of the crisis was ALWAYS much more terrifying (in terms of the human capacity for self deception wrapped in righteousness) than the end game that was envisioned in the mind's eye.

Gaeta, in an Obama-verse, is the failure of the belief in hope. What hope ultimately grants you is delusion.

So Say We All.

You know what this means?

Alaska volcano 'more energetic,' scientists say - CNN.com:

"Peter Cervelli, a research geophysicist with the observatory, told CNN that 'every indication is that we're heading toward an eruption.'

Cervelli said scientists don't know exactly when it will happen, but if it does happen, it could be days or weeks -- or even hours.

'I would not be surprised to see it erupt at anytime,' Cervelli said. 'We're going to know it when we see it.'

That eruption spread ash in Kenai and Anchorage, where it disrupted air traffic operations. Cervelli said the ash plumes caused engine failure on a jet."


Sarah Palin will not longer be able to see Russia from her house.
