Cover Your Eyes, Granny!

Remember the man who got pregnant and had a baby for his wife, who couldn't? His name is Thomas Beatie, and he used to be a woman. But, when he changed sexes, he kept all his reproductive organs, and have they come in handy! He's pregnant, again. OK, I know he USED to be a woman, but NOW, he's a man, and it just seems wrong.

What will we tell the children?

(I have no idea what that caption "First Man" means, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with Adam. It was attached to the picture when I moved it to Photobucket.)

Here's something we CAN tell the children. Tony Dow, who played the Beav's older brother, Wally, on Leave It To Beaver, has a sculpture on display at the Louvre. Gee, Wally, 'way to go!

NOW, she gives interviews! Sara Palin has been all over the TV shows lately, giving interviews. It's as if she held her breath for the entire campaign, and now all those things she wanted to say are spilling out, not unlike the air from a punctured baloon. Waaaaa. Katy is mean, the media lies, nobody is loyal, blah, blah, blah, I'm only doing what God wants me to do.

Personally, I wish God would decided he wants her to shut up.

Seems folks have been buying up guns in record numbers since the election. And, the gun sellers are gouging the heck out of them, which is just what they deserve. I have news for them. Gun ownership may be the most important thing in their lives, but I think President-elect Obama has a bit more pressing problems on his mind. So, they can relax. Nobody wants their hunting rifles - unless they are using Uzis for sport.

The media morons have latched onto the story that Hillary Clinton is on the short list for Secretary of State. I don't know if this is true, but I do wonder why she would want the appointment. She can probably be Majority Leader in the Senate if she wants it. That would give her a lot of clout and help President-elect Obama pass a good healthcare bill, not to mention all the other ways in which she could be influential.

More later.

Include Me Out

I seem to be slowing down with my blogging, lately. And, from the others I'm reading, several others have, too. Could it be spring fever?

I have a problem. A friend has me on her e-mail list, along with a bunch of other people we used to work with. She diligently forwards to me all the e-mails she receives from them, as well as those from her daughter, resulting in a whole bunch of e-mails I don't want. The people on her list are hard-core ultra conservatives, who just love to get all bent out of shape at anything they perceive as the tiniest bit liberal. And, they appear to have plenty of time on their hands.

I kind of think she gets a kick out of forwarding all this junk to me, but she'd never admit it, and I can't prove it. Anyway, I'm trying to think of a way to ask her to take me off of her e-mail list. It's not as easy as you might think, because she's a bit prickly, and tends to misunderstand what a lot of people say to her. Then, she gets mad and pouts. But, I'll have to think of something, because she sends me at least 10 or 12 a day, and most of them are, in her words, "a reread, but worth repeating". I don't happen to think most e-mails are worth rereading. Certainly not the ones that bash some politician or another, or the ones full of flowry, uplifting messages, illustrated by Thomas Kinkade .

The latest story that stirred the pot was about the new coin that didn't have "In God We Trust" on it. "Pass this on! We can't let this happen! The Democrats have only been in power since January, and already they're taking any reference to God off the coins! What's next? "

I have gotten to the point where I don't even open the e-mails, usually. But, I knew from the subject line on this one that it was going to be a hysterical rant. I was right.

I should have told her to leave me off her list as soon as I found out I was on it. But, I didn't, so now what?????
