Stop The Insanity

One of my biggest pet peeves is the use of the word "literally". I work with someone who uses it, incorrectly, very frequently. Why do people insist on using "literally", when they really mean "really" or "very" or even "really very"?

And now Meg Stapleton, the spokesperson for that brilliant user of the English language Sarah Palin, made this statement:

"The world is literally her oyster."

Really??? The world is now an oyster? A shelled creature filled with delectable meat and occasionally a valuable pearl? Really?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Is Palin Paling?

Sarah Palin announced today that not only will she NOT be running for reelection as High Priestess governor of Alaska in 2010, but she will be stepping down from the office by the end of this month.

So now I'm wondering, Why? My first thought was so she could spend all of her time criticizing President Obama and set herself up for a run for Prez herself in 2012. But is showing you can't follow through on a commitment you made to the people of Alaska 3 years ago the way to convince people you're up for the top job in the country? Or maybe she's gittin while the gittins good, knowing that when she does complete her first term, Alaska will be far worse off than when she took office.

Or, maybe, just maybe, there's something else brewing, ala Mark Sanford, John Ensign, or any of the other Family Values Republicans, and she thinks if she's gone it'll blow over before it makes national news.

Or maybe, as I suspect, she's just an out and out certifiable nutjob.

Former President George W. Bush.

Oh, doesn't it feel good to say that?

Pokey and I took a bottle of prosecco to our neighbors tonight so we could all toast the end of our national nightmare, and to our new President.

Oh.... how happy my heart is today...

Terminology

Today at lunch, I had a conundrum occur to me.

Everyone knows that a group of gay men is called a "faggle".

What do you call a group of lesbians?

The best thing I could come up with was "school", as in "Look! I see a school of lesbians!"

Bad News

I just learned something quite disturbing. I just found out that Pokey might be gay.

Take this quiz to see if the man in your life is gay.
