Can someone please explain to me why the Ellen dog story is a story? Why I have to look at her sobbing on national TV over a pup she had for a couple of days? Buy the kids another fucking puppy, they'll get over it in ten seconds flat. Jesus, the traumas of the super-rich are so infuriating.

All those times I was cursing people out, I was building camaraderie.

Also, fnarf...The reason it is a story is because cunt degeneres is a fucking kook and is trying to bully a rescue org. I'm glad they aren't capitulating. She gets a dog, and in two seconds decides it is too unruly. So she gives up. People like that should be held accountable.

Thanks I was always spelling it wrong but it is based on the word "bate" not "bait". My dad used to say bated breath but I was not exactly sure what it meant till I looked it up.

I mean really, other than the fact that they think that women should be able to have all the abortions they want they're pretty much indistinguishable from the Republicans when it comes to giving George W. Bush whatever he wants.
