What? You haven’t heard of Party Rats! You’re kidding, right? They’re the best thing to happen to partying since the mirror ball. People of all ages are putting these colorful, plastic, rodent lights on their fingers and waving their hands in the air like they just don’t care. Each 1-3/4″ long rat sends out a different colored beam of light, allowing you to create your own personal light show! Also great for the latest computer craze, night blogging! Five rats in each package. Batteries included.
Best thing since the mirror ball? Well ALL RIGHT! I can’t imagine a party without my tacky, outdated mirror ball. Just think how cool I’m going to look with little multicoloured plastic rat lights on my fingers. My friends are going to be soooo envious. And just think, I can type on my blog at night now that I have rats on my fingers!
Might I suggest, if you are having trouble typing at night you try this inovative idea: turn on a light.
I realise this is old news, but what can I say – the Right Wing have been busy lately. Last week former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani went on “Good Morning America” and made this bold statement:
“what [Obama] should be doing is following the right things that Bush did.” (I’m working on figuring out what those things were. If I figure it out, I’ll let you know) …”We had no domestic attacks under Bush, …We’ve had one under Obama.”
Later he amended the statement by saying he had omitted to include the words “since 9/11″. Oh that makes it all right then! We’ll just forget about Richard Reid the shoe bomber shall we?
Former Bush press secretary, Dana Perino, said in November that the Clinton administration was to blame for the 9/11 attacks, which occurred 8 months after Clinton left office. I guess Bush should be forgiven for not having enough time to read the security alerts regarding Al Qaeda – the two syllable words must have stumped him. Bush was given a briefing a full month before 9/11 occurred, entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”, yet the Bush administration did nothing to stop the attacks. It came out later that, despite growing concerns and warnings from the intelligence community in the US, the Bush administration didn’t follow up the warnings, nor did any of Bush’s advisors try to discuss the issue with the President again. Despite the overwhelming evidence that a terrorist attack did occur on US soil under the Bush administration, in November, after the Fort Hood attack, Perino said “We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during Bush’s term”.
Are these people memory impaired? Or are they laying the groundwork for the next election by reworking history? Not a group to let facts stymie them for long, they simply prevaricate (if you are a Bush/Palin fan, you might want to buy a d-i-c-t-i-o-n-a-r-y). If you repeat the lie enough, you begin to believe it. As will large numbers of voters. In rehabilitating George Bush’s reputation, they are making it easier for Palin (or any other far right candidate) to establish the moral high ground for any future elections. What’s next? Burning all the footage of 9/11 and all books that mention it?
Those loveable nut that collectively call themselves the “Teabaggers” or the Tea Bag Party have demonstrated again why they are incapable of understanding the basic fundamentals of the electoral system. Head teabag, Jeffery McQueen made the following statement on the show On Point with Tom Ashbrook:
… you know, in America we have a choice of four boxes for political change. We can go to the soap box, the ballot box, or we can go to the jury box. And hopefully we won’t have to go to the bullet box.
Ashbrook: Bullet box? Are you talking about armed revolution?
McQueen: Have you seen the ammunition sales the last twelve months?
Democracy is such a nuisance, isn’t it Mr McQueen. All sorts of people with different opinions get to have a say in how your country is run. Such an inconvenience.
Hey… anyone have a copy of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights hanging around? Maybe you can photocopy them and shoot mail a copy over to the Baggy party.
Certain details of a person’s life should be private. No matter how bloody wonderful you think you are, there is a limit to how much should be publicly shared. Why oh why do Hollywood types feel obligated to share all the silly little details of their personality with us. Starlet Jennifer Love-Hewitt (star of Ghost Whisperer) plunged headlong across the “Too Much Detail” line today when she revealed she blings some of her anatomy. She said vagazzaling is … er… oh bugger let her say it because I`m speechless:
“a friend of mine Swarovski Crystaled my precious lady and it shined like a disco ball.”
First off, Swarovski should smack her with a lawsuit for degrading the product.
Second, this cannot be healthy or safe.
Third, “my precious lady”? Oh give me strength. How old is this person? 9? No self respecting woman names her anatomy such cutsy pie name and expects to be taken seriously. What does she call her breasts? Heathcliff and Catherine? Sid and Nancy? Do tell Ms Love-Hewitt. “My precious lady?” oh for pete’s sake.
Fourth, “like a disco ball”? What? She pulls out a flash light, drops her drawers and shines it on herself? God my eyes, I’ve just burnt my retinas with the imagery. Oh the pain… hurts…
Ms. Love-Hewitt, for future references, this can be called “Bad sharing”. Please make a note of it.
Sarah Palin has left politics and become a journalist. I know, I know… I’m laughing so hard I hurt. Sarah Palin the journalist really doesn’t trip off the tongue does it. Something like Fox News. Oh wait… it gets better… she’s working for that paragon of balanced reporting Fox News. Priceless, isn’t it. She wrote (or someone who knows how to string together sentences longer than “See Dick. See Jane” wrote for her) the following press release:
“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” … “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
Fox values fair and balanced news? Isn’t this the network that pays Bill O’Reilly to spew his hate filled rants all over the airwaves? Great now we can have stereo stupidity!
Before going any further, you need to understand one very important thing – I don’t have a lot of respect for the fashion industry. If you’ve read any of my previous posts you will know that I believe those high up in the fashion business are completely disconnected from the real world. They have no respect for the female form and have attempted to rework the female body into something unrecognisable. They should stop lieing – if they want their women’s clothing modeled by little boys, then stop the pretense and put little boys in their cloths – don’t keep sheering off women’s curves to suit their warped body dis-morphia.
There are some truly gifted designers out there – men and women who create fashions for real people. Designers who respect the human shape. But they seem few and far between anymore. I do get a giggle trolling through fashion websites to see just how silly the industry can be. Case in point? Givenchy’s 2010 Spring Ready to Wear collection. Check these out:
WOW – the Coneheads are coming! The pants alone are migraine inducing, but the little pointy dunce caps send this design right into silly land. The one on the left looks like she’s a cross between a Conehead and an angry Smurfette. Now there’s an image – Smurfs from the darkside. **shudder** The design could be passable – not to my taste, but then really who cares. By plunking pointy hats on their heads, Givenchy transcends all my low expectations of the industry. No intelligent woman would be caught dead wandering down the street wearing a traffic cone on her head.
Mind you, the women came off much better than the men:
When I looked at the shimmery gold number I blurted out “WTF?” WOW … again. Love the executioners hood though. It just makes the ensemble, don’t you think? The shirt sleeves are divine! But where’s the rest of the t shirt?
The real shame is that there were a few designs that looked pretty good to me – yea, I know, I was shocked all to hell too. But I had to look very hard to find something that didn’t make me laugh my head off.
Now I know why so many models are so po-faced – they are just embarrassed.
