Via: Flickr Title: 06-19-07_1924.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 19 Jun ’07, 7.25pm CDT PST Seen at Walgreens: a rabbit not long for this world, given the nature of his nesting material.  And no, I did not pose it there – someone else out here in the bland, featureless suburbs has a somewhat roccoco sense of humor. Oh. Wait… this just begs to be cheezburg0red.

***Dave over at DDtB says this video hiliarious, but is even funnier if you have kids. YouTube – Voted Best Commercial in Europe I respectfully beg to differ; it's even funnier if you don't. I can't watch it without going into a convulsive fit of laughing that brings on a coughing jag. On a less "neener neener" note, it's refreshingly candid and aimed straight at the target market that most needs to get this message.

so make it up I'm getting married. I got engaged to my long-time boyfriend about two weeks ago, and I've decided to blog about the whole ungirly-bride process. My attempts to make sense of (read: mock) it all should yield infinite hits, as other like-minded women (not to mention cultural studies professors and other Paglia types) scour the World Wide Net Superhighway for scraps of sanity amidst the wedding machine madness. In addition to writing about my impending nuptuals, I will continue to deconstruct, harangue and satirize the rest of girl culture as well. In some ways, the wedding industry…

Toddlers Temper Ousts Family From Plane | Chicago Tribune ATA airlines removed a screaming toddler and her parents before a recent Florida flight because she was having a complete and total meltdown. Rather than take her seat, she crawled under it, hitting and screaming when parents and flight crew attempted to get her out. No word on whether the other passengers booed or cheered.

Barbara Boxer should apologize for nothing | TPMCafe How did I find out that Sen. Barbara Boxer is this week's right-wingnut pundit punching bag over her challenge to Condoleeza Rice's Iraq testimony? Because the scrolling underline on FOXNews in the health club yesterday was "BOXER ATTACKS RICE." As TPM notes, Boxer was attempting to imply that neither she nor Secretary Rice had "skin in the game" in the Iraq war, but the Right bloviation machine is trumpeting it as an attack on a noble, accomplished, hard-working "single childless woman." Make no mistake, the same people would be attacking her if…

Father Jake Stops the World NYT: How many members of the Episcopal Church are there in this country? KJS: About 2.2 million. It used to be larger percentagewise, but Episcopalians tend to be better-educated and tend to reproduce at lower rates than some other denominations. Roman Catholics and Mormons both have theological reasons for producing lots of children. NYT: Episcopalians aren’t interested in replenishing their ranks by having children? KJS: No. It’s probably the opposite. We encourage people to pay attention to the stewardship of the earth and not use more than their portion. I'm a childfree, environmentally aware Episcopalian,…

Bush Choice for Family-Planning Post Criticized – washingtonpost.com No, I'm not happy about this choice – I don't think someone whose stance appears to be not just anti-choice, but anti-contraception, for everyone, and repeats the canard that since condoms can't protect against all STD's ("the infected area is often not covered by a condom"), sex should be avoided entirely unless with one, faithful, uninfected partner. Gosh, how stunningly clear, everyone will easily be able to adapt to this standard. It's very real-world, don't you think? It appears that some other of my childfree sistren and brethren are a little more…

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Australian baby ‘put in dryer’ Samuel Siddall, 21, was left in charge of his girlfriend’s baby while she went to the gym for an hour, police said. She returned to find the baby had suffered serious burns. Doctors notified police because of the suspicious nature of her injuries. They expect the baby to make a full recovery and leave hospital this week. Is this guy clinically STUPID? Even I know better than this. First you have to rinse the juice off, or it’ll be set by the heat of the dryer. (Yes, this is mordant…
