Senator J. Lo anyone?Rep. Gary Ackerman, a veteran Queens Democrat, asked in a radio interview the other day about the buzz over Caroline Kennedy's interest in filling Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, "I don't know what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are. Except that she has name recognition, but so does J.Lo. I wouldn't make J.Lo the senator unless she proved she had great qualifications, but we
I experienced my first dose of breastfeeding freakout yesterday.
We packed the kids up and headed to Target to procur a “bouncy seat” and a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte no whip no sprinkles [thank you very much].
I made sure to feed Oliver right before we left and since we only had a couple of things to [...]
Labor Day Barbecue at the pool this weekend for the Nuke Neighborhood. We’re bringing the hot dogs and buns. Let the Mathematics begin.

The bride came down the aisle and when she reached the altar …
… the groom was standing there with his golf bag and clubs at his side. She said:” What are your golf clubs doing here”?
He looked her right in the eye …. and said, “This isn’t going to take all day, is [...]
Another shot of the hubby’s many attempts at photography. He took this while they were aboard, in transit to Palawan. I still have got much to learn in grabbing this kind of compositions. I tend to carelessly snap shots of everything I fancy, not thinking much how aperture and shutter speed should [...]
Blackmore Vale Probus
My first speaking engagement last month was about My Life as a Freelance Comedy Writer for the Probus Club of Blackmore Vale in Marnhull, Dorset on 6 May. This involved a very early bus journey to Salisbury and then a train from Salisbury station (where the ticket office was as slow as ever) to Gillingham, from where I was given a lift to Marnhull by Mr Alan Ll
It’s not a huge secret that every once in awhile, I like to partake in an adult beverage. I just do. I’m not going to lie about it. Margaritas are my favorite, followed by Mudslides, and then, of course, I like sissy beer… (Barcardi Silver).
A 6 pack normally lasts me the whole winter, if not [...]
Kotaku has posted an interview of the damage control behind Guy Somberg’s blog post. Apparently Kotaku, on entirely noble intentions, proclaimed they were going to “see what was really going on.” A few highlights of the article:

On my first trip to the grocery store after my son, Graeme, was diagnosed with food allergies, I did something I’ve never done in a food store before: I cried.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought two pairs of shorts and a couple of t-shirts for Cordy at Target. (Side note: I cannot profess my love of Target enough. I only wish I could walk into that store without walking out at least $50 poorer.) After washing them, the new clothes were placed into her dresser, ready to be worn.So last week when I pulled out a new t-shirt and shorts, I wasn't prepared for wh
In White v. Fabiniak, Wal-Mart fired Carla White for threatening to "slap the piss" out of a co-worker, Stephanie Jeppe. Prior to the termination, White had used Wal-Mart's Open Door Policy to complain to her supervisor that Jeppe had been threatening her.
White was an at-will employee of Wal-Mart. At the start of her employment, Wal-Mart provided her an employee handbook that contained, among o

Tonight, Jenna Bush, daughter of George W. Bush, will marry Henry Hager. I wanted to let you know this to remind you of how much easier some people have it in this world than you.I also hope that those who are stationed in Iraq or those who have family members there will look at these two faces and wonder why aren't they serving, especially if her father believes so much in his cause to "spread democracy" or "fight terrorism".Then again, it is easier to fight wars when you're sacrificing some other parents' kids, especially when they're poor.So, tonight, remember that Jenna Bush will be happy, along with her father. And, if you're not happy, they couldn't give half a shit about that.
Senate Guru (does he ever sleep?) catches Sen. Collins breaking with Sen. Snowe, Sen. Roberts (R-KS) and the Democrats to vote with the Republican leadership against legislation "to make the flying skies safer and more passenger-friendly."No word yet on why the junior senator opposed allowing even an up-or-down vote on the bill, which included a passenger bill of rights and a tighter inspections regime for the airlines.A House version of the bill passed last year.

In my 11+ years of mothering my children I have made many grocery store trips. I have had my ankles run over by my children who wish to push the cart and SWEAR they won’t hit anything with it.
I’ve shushed them way too many times because they were being too loud in the store or were arguing.
I’ve calmed crying babies.
I’ve said no to all the sugary cereals (ok, well not ALL of them.)
I’ve allowed them to help pick out fruit and showed them where to find the “clearance” foods.
I’ve pretty much done it all…
except…
…causing a store employee to pipe over the loud speaker that some retard spilled something all over the place.
that is, until Friday night.
And the worst part about it?
I was that retard who caused the spill that
The Ballad of Gilligan's Island -- George Wyle and Sherwood Shwartz
Would you like to get stranded on Alicante Isle? (I know it is spelled Aisle and it means something else, but just go with it.) People buying properties as flips during the down cycle are betting on the return of the market. There is no shortage of ignorant prognostications of the bottom, and if flippers are foolish enough to believe them, then they deserve to become bagholders. If flippers and lenders became the bagholders for the decline, Karma would be delivering its comeuppance. Flippers hope to get in and out of a property quickly, and like the passengers on the US Minnow who thought they were going on a 3 hour tour, getting off the island will likely take much longer than planned. They end up stranded in a
In boxing parlance, a "tomato can" is a hand-picked schlub brought in to go a few rounds with the champ, whose odds of scoring an upset are comparable to say, Madison, Wisconsin landing the next games of the Olympiad.While these guys are technically professional fighters, at least when they're not earning a living as roofers, drywallers and doing other jobs that don't require a background check, it's not uncommon for the town drunk to take one glassy-eyed look at one of these soft around the midriff ham 'n' eggers and think to themselves, "I could take 'em"--especially if he's facing the other way and I'm swinging a barstool. It's no accident then that "punch drunk" has become part of the lexicon as we'll see in this story. A London man, on the back end of a two-day drink and co
The 'new thing' in yogurt is (NEWSFLASH! You are *not* going to believe this, but...) it is a digestive aid. Yogurt companies are making a very big deal out of this these days. Like it's new news. If nothing else, I find it entertaining (except for the shameful overpackaging of most of these).The packages look a lot like they are prescription food, they have funny names (Activia - that could be a car! ...or a line of fitness wear), and then they wrap everything to look like vitamins! The cute little (overpackaged...grumble) bottles for their yogurt look like big vitamins (or like little vitamin bottles, depending on your point of view.) Like a shot of wheatgrass, a B-12 shot: Your daily shot of friendly bacteria... I guess.Oh well. I love yogurt (but I'll stick with my old stand-by's, tha

Always head straight to the clearance aisle and racks where you can find bargains of all kinds. Sometimes you might have to dig a little to find any real deal , but it is worth it. If you have kids, like I do, than the clearance aisle is a true lifesaver. It is well worth your time to check out clearance racks. You can find some really great and trendy items. You can even find some great household items. I have gotten a juicer and espresso maker from a clearance aisle and saved huge!!Download Our Free Toolbar
[...] The Nation -- Senator Joe Lieberman will finally come clean on Monday, unleashing his inner-Republican to endorse the struggling campaign of Senator John McCain, according to several news reports. It is a bittersweet alliance for both men. Lieberman's move confirms his critics' longtime argument that he is a "Democrat in Name Only," while McCain looks desperate by leaning on backers beyond the G.O.P. base in the homestretch of a partisan primary.
