Fashion magazines don’t help much either. Elle talks to Ashlee Simpson. And writes down what she says. To be recorded for all time.
If I tried to dress to hide all the parts of my body I have ever been self-conscious about, the only thing left to wear would be a hazmat suit.
“Show me a woman with a good three inches of cleavage on display, and I’ll show you a woman who, rightly or wrongly, has little faith in her powers of conversation.”
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.

Read it. The People of the Crust of Potomac, Maryland, are irate at having government treat them the way they would have the federal government treat the entire nation. Irony seems too inadequate a term.

Read it. Of course, some of us think “NGO” and “bad” are redundant.
The primary problem is that what we think of as “corruption” is what most of the world thinks of as “family duty”. And our regressives are too foolish to cope with any outlook other than their own.

The five leaders from Africa and South America said they could not share communion with Episcopal bishops who in 2003 consecrated V. Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire.
The technical term for this is “schism”. Let’s see how long they can dance around it without actually using the term. I predict years, if not decades.

Regarding which, you think that they would catch on after a while that a Communist dictatorship is going to act like, well, a Communist dictatorship.

Read it. And yet she makes more money than you, dude. What conclusion can we draw from this?
The whole point is that there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference, policy-wise, between McCain and Clinton. And if Clinton is President, then the Republicans in Congress will have room to oppose that shit, whereas if McCain is President they’ll be roped into going along, as happened with Mr Spend-It, George W Bush. People who can’t learn from history ought to shut up about politics because their opinions are not worth hearing except for entertainment purposes.

Some on the right feel it would be less damaging to their cause to lose the 2008 election with the Republican-conservative alliance intact than to win with John McCain.

Read it. A useful reminder that, were it not for his assassination, and the administration of Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy might well be known as the worst American President of this century.
I was there. I saw.
If he hadn’t allowed Krischev to roll him in Vienna, there wouldn’t have been a Cuban Missile Crisis for him to handle. A fantastic save after you trip doesn’t make you any less a klutz, it just makes you a very lucky klutz.
He colluded in the murder of President Diem in Vietnam, which war (and country) had been doing very well until then.
He didn’t do shit for civil rights, other than have the FBI wiretap Martin Luther King.
Other than boffing more women-not-his-wife in the White House than Bill Clinton, it’s truly hard to think of one positive accomplishment of the Kennedy administration.
Feh.
