--- Terribly sorry for all the ranting and raving yesterday, but Kofi pissed me off.
There's really no getting around it: the man is a weener.
--- And on a weener related sidenote...
Go and check out the latest advancements in
penis enhancement.
Invariably, I'm the one in our household of two who receives the penis
enhancement spams. The husband gets all the breast enhancement spams. I
suppose this could be considered a refreshing change of pace where
these spams are concerned. And it's funny, too.

GLASSPORT, Pa. (AP) - A church trying to teach about the crucifixion
of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny
and breaking eggs, upsetting several parents and young children.
People who attended Saturday's performance at Glassport's memorial
stadium quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and
described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.
Melissa Salzmann, who brought her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program
was inappropriate for young children. "He was crying and asking me why
the bunny was being whipped," Salzmann said.
Wait for it. Wait for it...
Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God,
said the performance wasn't meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed
the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.

Ummm, Patty, perhaps you shouldn't be the youth minister of a church when you don't know the difference between reverence and irreverance,
I mean, unless you were going for a
funny-bunny-flogging-really-is-painless sort of attitude to make it
amusing for the children when the bunny was being whipped. If that's
the case, you probably do mean irreverance, but what the hell
is wrong with you that you'd flog the easter bunny in the first place?
Contrary to popular opinion, most kids do know that the Easter Bunny
was not in on the Crucifixion. He had nothing to do with it. Leave him
out of it. You know, if I had some sort of organizing structure for
this blog, I would place this one in the "Death to Smoochy" file.
--- Watched the 9/11 Commission this morning. Condi, I thought, did
very well. The husband, however is pissed off about Bob Kerrey's
ranting and raving. I missed most of it because I couldn't take the
husband's screaming at the TV any longer so I went and took a shower. Here's the transcript.
What an ass. As a former resident of the great state of Nebraska, I
would like to make it well known that I never voted for Bob Kerrey. In
the past, there have been times I have appreciated his willingness to
cut through the crap and get down to the heart of the matter, but this
is not one of them. He was completely belligerent toward a witness who
didn't have to testify in the first place and did so because she was
under attack and felt the need to set the record straight. But, as Bob
Kerrey himself said, "...I'm not going to get the national security
adviser 30 feet away from me very often..." and he took the opportunity
to take some seriously cheap shots on national television. I wonder if
he's been this nasty in the private interviews they've had with Condi.
I doubt it. He was grandstanding. Yet another example of someone using
the 9/11 Commission for personal gain. Clarke did it to make sure his
book sold well; Kerrey, I would bet you my last dollar, still hasn't
ruled a run for the White House out, despite the fact he's no longer
active in everyday politics.
