Running a bit late this morning, since I couldn’t bear to drag my ass out of bed until six o’clock (plus I was pinned down under the covers by a dog who was looking pretty comfortable). That means I only get to watch the lo-cal news through one time, but it doesn’t look like much went on here yesterday anyway. There doesn’t seem to be much going on anywhere, really (except for that impending Iranian revolution thing, but there’s no live teevee of it, so that’s no fun, and if I have to hear a bunch of brainless twits continue to gush over “social networking” web sites much longer, I think I’m gonna puke). As Bill Maher said the the other night, finally, somebody found a use for Twitter.

I don’t know about you all, but I find it harder and harder to work up a good case of righteous indignation these days. I have to admire people who can still get themselves all worked up over shit. Like this person who finds PETA despicable, not because they dissed the President for swatting a fly, but because they’re a “celebrity misogynist cult” whose latest outrage (outrage!) is a new ad featuring Che Guevera’s granddaughter. Much to my surprise, it turns out that “pretty much” any activist group that isn’t specifically feminist is anti-feminist. I guess that gives me an excuse to quit taking care of the Single Payer NY website, since I’d hate to be anti-feminist and it’s a pain in the ass anyway.

The big problem with what (to my tiny little anti-feminist, misogynist brain) appears to be a pretty harmless ad (maybe a little too cutesy, with the carrot bandoleer and all) hoping to “inspire” a vegetarian revolution is that it “…is described titillatingly as “semi-nude” even though she is fully clothed….” Oh well. I guess the fact that she’s fully clothed is a bit of a bummer. Assuming that carrots count as clothes, that is.

My only suggestion for this outraged blogger is to change the default Bluehost favicon. You can have Sammy, if you want. Or just delete it from your root directory. I mean, c’mon. The blue waffle icon pretty much just screams “get back in the kitchen.”

Looks as though I’ve run out the clock here this morning, since Ratface Matt Lauer is on the teevee (he was apparently off last week), and Meredith Viera actually just compared the Jonas Brothers to the “young Beatles.” :barf: Damn, now I’m gonna have to brush my teeth again.
