Campbell in the soup for ‘assaulting’ housekeeper
“By Chris Ayres
NAOMI CAMPBELL, the supermodel as famed for her short temper as her long legs, was charged with second-degree assault in New York yesterday — after allegedly beating her housekeeper over the head with a telephone.”

Ho hum. Its been done.

I am no longer listening to medical advice.
There is a cyclical pattern to their madness…
For several years they will say Thing X is good, then several years later, they will run screaming back to us saying “For the love of all things holy, don’t do THING X!”
You can’t win.
Fatty foods were bad, now they aren’t the be all end all preventative.
We weren’t sleeping enough, now we are.
I’m ignoring all of you silly doctors and doing what I want from now on. You clearly are suffering from cranio-rectal inversion.

Hmmmm.

It feeds my obsessivecompulsiveanalretentive
inner fredlet and that is good.’
(well better than carbs anyway.)

Got some tax stuff organized, went to the grocery store, filled up the car, tidied the house, did 4 loads of laundry, vacuumed the house (no small feat there…), worked on some stuff for mom, worked on some stuff for erin, worked on some stuff for my little company, put off thinking of April 15th’s bill, thought about retiring to King City, Ca. (I’ll need to be somewhere cheap as the gummint will be spending all my dough and mom and her recurring dream of puppy farm (Mom, can I do the website? No you can’t pay me in puppies…) will eat the wee tiny inheritance that I might have thought I was getting from her. =;) ) , sorted 30 pairs of socks and generally did no interesting writing in this blog.
So sorry, you lose out.
Call me, we’ll chat.

Anyhoo, the other thing that mom did was load me up with the entire contents of her fridge before she and the poopers set off in a van for a long ass trip.
Damn, she buys good food.
Its not that I eat badly or am too poor to buy quality food, but really she has the best you can get…and I got spoiled last week. So, when I trekked to the grocery store to buy food (I ate all the best stuff already… I was down to romaine lettuce and soy sauce.) I thought I’d get some stuff that she had gotten me hooked on.
Arg.
Baby bok choy was in short supply (and ’spensive, too) The center cut bacon wasn’t on sale. The avocados were, but they were still outrageous… and really, fresh mozzarella doesn’t last more than 10 minutes with me in the room.
Ah well.
I’ll treaure the food moments when I can and look forward to sales as they show up.

And now, because I have used up my wee tiny brain output in the paragraphs above:

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were having breakfast at the White House.

The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like, and he replies, “I’d like a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit.”

“And what can I get for you, Mr. President?”

George W. replies with his trademark wink and slight grin, “How about a quickie this morning?”

“Why, Mr. President!” the waitress exclaims “How rude! You’re starting to act like Mr. Clinton, and you’ve only been in your second term of office for a year! ”

As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers…”It’s pronounced ‘quiche’.”

Going to hatch the spawn of that freakshow? And what will it turn out
to be afterall?

Joe Pennant’s ‘Itinerant outta NY’ blog: “
I almost never turn off the TV, even when i leave the house. Hey, I dont pay for the electricity and I got the TV for free off craigslist.

I plopped back in bed, and had a dream I almost never have anymore. A nice dream thats a built-in novel. Not as smoothly constructed as they used to be, but definitely an improvement.

After that deep sleep, I awoke to the realization: TV has been making me stupid.

Lately, Ive been finding myself trying to remember words, losing my train of thought in a conversation very easily, my attention span miniscule.
I’d thought it was a consequence of being 40 and not eating salad.

But no.. its been the constant bombardment of TV. It has damaged my brain. My lord.

No wonder I dont write anymore, or answer emails.”

Jeebus.
The tv was on 24 hours a day for the entire time I was married.
I canceled the cable when I moved out and I haven’t had it since.

I don’t miss it.
It still drives me crazy when it is on at other people’s houses.

Don’t like abortion?
Get a vasectomy.

There are so many things wrong with this subject, I just can’t seem to find the point to begin [ Afghan convert may avoid death penalty: minister ]

“An Afghan man facing the death penalty for converting to Christianity may avoid the sentence because he needs psychiatric help, the country’s Economy Minister was quoted as saying by a German paper on Thursday. “

So, you get killed if you decide that sharia islam isn’t for you… huh.
Yeah, that’s an incentive to convert in the first place. And I can’t decide if they are declaring him mentally unfit because he converted to xtianity or as an aside.
Screw religion, IMO.

This is kinda bullshit:

“”Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die,” said cleric Abdul Raoulf, who is considered a moderate and was jailed three times for opposing the Taliban before the hard-line regime was ousted in 2001.”[from here]

Islam recognizes xtianity and that jesus guy as a true prophet… how is it that another religion that worships the SAME god an insult to the same entity?

And speaking of insane….Hi Phil!
You just get better and better everyday.

“Daily extended Leo (by Astrology.com)
You’ve never run short on charm, and you’ve never been known to have nothing to say. At the moment, those talents will come in extremely handy — even more so than usual, that is — especially since the rest of the world won’t be quite so amply endowed. Go ahead and let each and every charming, enticing syllable slip persuasively from your lips. Just don’t use this gift for anything selfish; that’s the kind of karma no one needs.”

“Steer clear of any big egos you encounter today. Their arrogance may ruin your mood.”
No shit.
