In a continuation of the never-ending breast milk discussion on this site:

Ben & Jerry's "Breast-in-Show" Ice Cream?

On the upside, maybe one ever-reproducing vice-presidential nominee will have a job after Obama wins in November…

Right now: Reed is sitting in the family room completely enthralled by a documentary on how aluminum is made. 

I can't make this stuff up.

I suspect that Tripp may already be on a train, in a plane, or riding a bike made in Spain toward LA, as it seems the Portman is now single. Sorry, Roxy. To which I have to add:

Have you seen her in this video?

It will be difficult to actually find out how true this is but there are now racism accusations against the GOP
VP nominee.

Hilariously, to me, the official statement from the Palin camp is:

“Governor Palin is totally color-blind.”

Seriously, is Colbert writing for them? WTF kind of answer is this?

Lying in bed this morning, staring at the ceiling fan and waiting on the sun to decide whether or not to rise, I hear a tiny, dulcet voice call from her crib:

“I dragon. I draaaaagon!”

Cutest. Dragon. Ever.

i've been flying under the radar for the last week or so due to nervous breakdown conditions, code orange.  not my traditionally hyperbolic drama queen breakdowns-of-the-week, but a real one that included not eating and or being able to sleep.  i've got myself a nice shrink appointment scheduled am and working really hard on…everything.  it just hasn't been good.

my basic lifeplan has been tossed up into the air.  todd admitted to me last week that he's not sure he ever wants to get married again…or have children.  i can't really get too much into it right now because i think i risk falling back down the rabbit hole if i continue to let it be the only thing swirling around in my frenzied little brain.

but i felt, perhaps silly-ly, that i owed the word -ie you- this explanation.  talk about putting it all out there.

Are you serious? We’re actually even considering letting this administration “fix” something else before leaving office?

I posit George Bush has been akin to the anti-Forrest Gump. Whereas for loveable Forrest was a dimwit who blundered his way into unbelievable success, Bush is an unloveable dimwit who has blundered this nation into an abysmal morass of failure. 

So, before we go doling out 700 BILLION no-strings-attached dollars (that’s the equivalent of, oh, six more years in Iraq, in case you’re counting) to his henchmen, I hope you don’t mind that I have just a couple of simple questions:

1. After September 11, you said those responsible would pay. How’s that working out? I mean, minus the fact that you essentially let him go in Afghanistan so you could fight a totally unnecessary and ultimately counterproductive war in a completely different country.
2. How do you assign someone who despises the United Nations to be the ambassador to the United Nations?
3. You say we’re fighting evil doers but then set up hidden prisons to detain and torture people. I say this as a preface to asking: which Bible are you reading again?
4. Your “Clean Skies” program actually put more pollutants into the air. In college, did you major in Irony?
5. You authorized illegal wiretapping of American citizens. You broke the Constitution. You intentionally manipulated the will of Congress through ‘signing statements.’ Are you aware of the definition of ‘asshat’?

There’s more. Like, how can you fail at being the manager of the Texas Rangers and think you’re qualified for the office of President. I wouldn’t hire you as a shift manager at Denny’s. Why is it that everything you do is wrong and turns into a flaming shitball of failure? Are you cursed? Should I pity you? 

And now, now we’re going to have an American fire sale, squeeze the last bit of cash out of our coffers and into the pockets of your minions before you are gone. To think: I was done hating you because, really, after Iraq, how could you fuck up anything worse? It’s inconceivable. But by gosh golly, here we are. So, maybe that’s like a success? You win at failing?

To think if 260 people voted the other way in 2000 … 

I’m aghast.
