Comments on The Morning News

The gals have started pwning themselves for three simple reasons:

1.) Most of the hot guys are gay
2.) Most of the straight guys are assholes
3.) Sex and the City

Life. Sigh.

I blame Evanescence.

Well there's always that.

On the Baby Work-Out. The lady who said we are doomed if this is how we are going to deal with obesity with kids? Hell, we have been doomed long before that happened. It started with people sitting on their asses all day at work and then sitting on their asses all night at home.

But does this mean our 4 year olds will be shooting up steroids after having cookies and milk? Or should we ask, "Is it better to take steroids before or after your afternoon nappy?"

I think the real issue is a seemingly legitimate newspaper using the word "littlies."

The political strain of Israeli acute paralysis virus maybe a good description of the malady that US middle eastern foreign policy has been suffering from since the dawn of Israeli nationhood.

In an even slightly more rational world than the one we live in, Blumenthal's article would be the final nail in the coffin for shrub and his cronies.

Alas, in our Bizarro World, it will ellicit little more than a shrug from the MSM, face-deforming spinning from the Administration and the Right Wing, and vigorous, albeit ineffectual hand-wringing from Congress.

Meanwhile the rest of us are left with little else to do about it but shake our heads sadly and say, "we told you so", or, stand on street corners and shout into megaphones about the revolutionary power of the color orange.

Seriously, Will somebody convince George Soros to offer shrub about ten Gazillion dollars to sit on the plank of a dunk tank filled with Jalapenio juice after he leaves office (I hear he's looking to "refill the coffers" once he retires), so the entire fucking nation can stand in line to throw softballs at 3 for a buck? I swear, we'd erase the national deficit in about six months.

Re: Kicking ass

Looks like DC Democrats and Republicans are united in defeating their common enemy: Democratic voters!

Who says that bipartisanship is dead?

Evanesence? Hmm, well, I suppose, but I blame the International Zionist Bee Conspiracy ...

No, no -- you've got it backwards. Evanescence is also responsible for the bees offing themselves.

We have no affiliation with the International Zionist Bee Conspiracy, yet we admire their work. Stay tuned for our next installment on "Today in Line Out".

Suicide: Rate soars among US girls.

Soars to almost half of the suicide rate for males in the same age group. My goodness, how young girls must suffer!

The "office wife" comment was pretty damn insulting. Whatever else she may be, arm candy Condoleeza is NOT.

Insulting Condi is a moral requirement. She didn't end up in that office by accident. Shame, really; the bitch could have had a respectable career if she hadn't hooked up with W. Now she's just another rotten sandwich on the garbage heap of history.

The Devil made her do it!!

Live bugs and bug-eating plants! A chance to tell your friends you ate a bug this weekend and lived to tell about it!

If this sounds like fun to you, head on over to the eighth annual Bug Blast on Sunday at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. "Every year we bring in a certain type of bug that's edible and full of protein," says MaryAnn Barron, museum spokeswoman, who describes the experience as "crunchy."

The museum will have its own collection of bugs ranging from butterflies, spiders, beetles, moths, stick bugs and more [will bees bee inkluded?], both dead and alive. Private collections will also be on display. Kids can choose from many hands-on activities, including bug glasses, bug drawings, trivia and art. An educational puppet show, "Eek, Squish, Splat!" at 1 p.m. performed by Ciscoe Morris, host of KING-TV's "Gardening With Ciscoe," will inform kids and adults about the wonderful world of bugs.

"It's a nice balance of community, collections and bugs," says Barron.
