life as i know it...
Dear Speidi,
I hate you. And shame on your mother for participating in this staged photo op mess. It is embarassing.
Love,
Caroline
PS- Heidi, find a tailor and have your acid washed jeans hemmed properly. This DIY shit is ridiculous. It may not make you look classier, but it will at least give the impression that you are doing something with the money you sell your soul for.
Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.
“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.
I’m disgusted to share this man’s last name. Sadly, there are thousands more out there like him. Another Mr. Simpson (my father), encountered one at a hotel desk some months back. This man said that no matter what my dad or anyone else told him, it wasn’t possible someone with the last name Obama wasn’t Muslim.
I guess reading things like this bother me for two reasons - one, dumb asses like this get an equal say in things. Their vote counts as much as your’s or mine. Secondly, they see something wrong with being Muslim; a Muslim President must be a radical in their minds, and all Muslims must behave and believe like bin Laden and other fringe radicals.
Does anyone else just wake up some days and wonder if all the morons in this country will ultimately lead to its demise?
A few months ago, when the whole Rev. Wright thing hit, my Southern, Catholic, Republican grandmother said this to me.
“You know, Caroline, it is funny. For months and months, Barack Obama was not Christian enough for my friends. He was clearly a Muslim because of his last name. Now that this whole thing has come out, he is too Christian, ‘one of those black Chiristians.’ The whole thing just makes me ashamed of people. Judge him for his policies, not what you think his religious faith is. You can never know what is in a man’s heart. Judge him by his actions.”
I watched Meet the Press this morning before work. Kind of a, get your day started wrong idea. It was a fairly poor choice.
It took me 8 minutes into the hour before I yelled explatives at the TV. Terry McAuliffe should DIE. IN. A. FIRE!
The entire Clinton camp is SO frustrating and entirely delusional. REALLY? Hillary is only behind in the popular vote by 100,000 votes. WHAT? First, that number includes not only Florida which is a questionable number to begin with, but also Michigan WHERE OBAMA WASN’T ON THE BALLOT!! Which, according to Terry, was “His choice.” Because he follows the rules, ass.
Second, that popular votes number doesn’t include the 13 caucuses that Obama has won. Because those states don’t report the popular vote. Because there isn’t one. So, lets push to disenfranchise the 13 states that vote via caucuses, but scream as loudly as we can that WE MUST COUNT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN! CAN NOT DISENFRANCHISE THESE CITIZENS!!
Keep talking out of both sides of your mouth, Terry. I hope you didn’t want to be relevant in the party in the future. A change is coming and you are on the wrong side of the line.

To my mother.
This afternoon.
In my defense, she said something incredibly mean to me that made me actually cry. Still though, I am probably going to hell.
My Mom
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! :)
Things I Miss
k8e:
1. Clearly Canadian Mountain Blackberry
2. Baugher’s parsings
3. Fun Dip
I always liked the Peach one. Which they apparently don’t make anymore.
If you go to their store locator though, they do apparently still make it. It is available at Casey’s General Store and Big Lots. I never have gone into these places which is likely why I thought Clearly Canadian didn’t still exist.
I love The Bird & The Bee, but this video is cool even if you don’t.
Oh, Apple… I hope you give people free shit when they give you free publicity.
