Some People Make Sense

My usual lazy post… just posting a link to a blog that rebuts the stupid article that Time magazine published, positing that exercise makes you fat. Just what this nation needs, another excuse not to exercise.

Eat Your Words.

Just had to get these somewhere

Come on, hit me!

“>The absolutely brilliant Heath Ledger as the Joker: “Do I really look like a guy with a plan?

My most used Heath Ledger quote:

Sing It, Stephen

Admittedly, he’s preaching to the choir as far as I’m concerned, but I was delighted to hear Stephen King call a spade a spade… or in the case of Stephenie Meyer, call a bad writer a bad writer!

Stephenie Meyer Can’t Write Worth A Darn

Can I hear an Alleluia?!

I absolutely adore this

I can’t stop listening to this song. It just makes me happy.

Ya Think?!

Saw this headline today:

Human Bodies Not Designed to Have “Litters” of Babies

DUH!

This headline, of course, was in response to the fact that some nutjob out in California just gave birth to octuplets. Her doctors all ought to have their licenses to practice medicine revoked.

More later.

Barack-ing the Vote

I went and voted this morning. I always bring my kids with me, and I was so worked up, I decided I couldn’t wait until after school to vote. So we bopped off the polling place and found that the line was do-able; I voted and I still got them to school on time.

All 3 of us went into the booth together, and we all put our hands on the lever and pushed it down together on the count of 3.  I told my kids that they had just taken part in an act of great historical significance. I’ve been trying to make them understand this whole year how amazing this election has been, what with a woman and a black man being the front-runners for the Democrats. I told them today, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see the day when a man of color ran for President, and I told them I still hope to see the day when a woman runs (and wins)!!

Now I just have to live through the next several hours without consuming all of the Halloween candy in the house out of sheer nervousness.

I’m cruising the Net to keep myself distracted, and in reading my comics, I decided to share this one with you all:

Seriously. GO. Go vote! NOW!!!!!!

Buy this Book! Read This Book! Love This Book!

The latest book by my fabulously talented friend, Lani Diane Rich, came out this week.

Read about it and see the awesome cover here: Lani’s Site

You can order it right from Lani’s site, or go here or here.

You won’t be sorry, I promise. Lani’s books are wonderful, and I’m not just saying that because she’s a friend. They’re funny and sexy and honest; you’ll love her characters, and I promise you her plots are never boring.

Why don’t I get to research/write cool articles like this?

Ya Think?

Everyone once in awhile, there is a headline so stupefyingly simpleminded that I have to read it twice before yelling “DUH!”  This is one of them. From today’s Yahoo! News Headlines:

Poor will be biggest victims of financial crisis

Wow, thank goodness I have the news media to fill me in on that little snippet of information. Never would have figured that out for myself…

Already I’ve been very lax about posting to this blog. And it seems like most of the time, I’m linking to something else — and today is no exception! This little entry on Wonkette.com cracked me up, so I thought I’d share it with all y’all:

White House Will Replace ‘Bailout’ With ‘Rescue’ And Everyone Will Love It
