Just Pick One

What is the deal with all these artists who think they can act and sing? Given that most of them probably can't pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time, it is a good thing they rarely act and sing simultaneously. But the results are middling at best. Can anyone seriously think of a decent jLo movie? Ralph Fiennes looked like he wanted to die in 'Maid in Manhattan', and by the end of the movie I did too. (Granted, I did rather like 'Out of Sight', but I think that was more Clooney than her.)

This only comes to mind because due to sheer boredom, I am watching the MTv music awards. Jamie Fox (I am not sure if it is supposed to be one or two 'x's.) was up for best R&B video of the year. Dude, since when did the guy sing? And honestly until like a year or two ago, I never really knew he acted. I think I remember him being on 'In Living Color' though, where jLo was a 'fly girl'. Talk about hot.

I like Madonna's new song. But isn't even she a bit too old to run around in a hot pink leotard? Not sure I am loving the look for her. And should Fergie and her lumps/humps really be in that small of a dress...

Stupid Men

This letter to the editor was in the local paper and it really, *really* irritated me, so I thought I would share.

God never intended for his son to come to this world to organize women to fight sin; only to be a help-mate. He organized men to fight sin.
God did not intend for women to be on the front lines in the Army to fight and kill men.
Listen women, God never intended for you to rule over men, but men to rule over you.

This annoyed me for so any reasons. (1) Why on earth would a newspaper print such a blatantly discriminatory and bigoted point of view? (2) How does such a clearly backward point of view still exist? How does this person even function? (3) The writer quotes the Bible (Luke, Matthew, and Genesis). Do all religions have such little respect for women?

I think if Hillary or Condi run for president I will vote for them, not because I like them, but to spite people like the author of the above. Hopefully, some day soon he will get a female boss who can *rule over him*.

Burn Baby Burn

When I read this, I felt compelled to do a little investigation.

"You remember the ice age? It's been warming ever since, and there ain't nothing
we can do to stop it." - Conrad Burns (R - MT)

While Senator Burns' website indicates that he attended college for a spell, it is unclear that he ever finished. Given his above statement that is perhaps not surprising.

Apparently, Senator Burns is barely tolerated in Montana (38% approval rating, or some such absurdly low number), despite the fact that he managed to bring $2 billion in federal funds back to his state. How large are Montana's federal tax receipts? Because someone is certainly getting the "short end of the stick".

Time, a magazine of some repute (in my opinion), cited Senator Burns as one of America's 5 Worst Senators.

Senator Burns was apparently for a time in bed with Abramoff. (I don't mean that literally -- well, let me put it this way, as of yet, there is no evidence to support a literal view.)
