This is hilarious

What's your opinion of this? I won't try to debate all his points, because that would take too long and besides I just don't want to. I could see any of that any day on any leftwing website.

I must admit, it is funny to hear a former president tossing phrases like "neo-con" and "right-wing hit job."

I don't think the outburst was "real" - because face it, nothing Clinton does is real. I think it was coolly calculated, but just a little stupid.
What was supposed to make him come across as righteously indignant really made him seem like a pompous jerk.

"You got that little smirk on your face, you think you're so clever." - Bill Clinton

Actually, Mr. Clinton, I think that applies to you.

For gosh sakes can we let private be private?!

Diane Sawyer to Clay Aiken:

"[are you]ready to come out and say you're gay?"

An angry Clay Aiken clashed Thursday with Diane Sawyer for asking him whether he is gay.
"I don't understand why you want to know," Aiken shot back. "I don't understand why it's any of your business.
"At some point, [the question] becomes just really rude, you know?" he said in an interview that aired Thursday on "Good Morning America." ... story

Yes, I totally agree. First the "mainstream" tells us we must let people live their lives, that it really doesn't matter, that it's all the same.

Then, at the same time, there's a fanatical obsession over something, I don't know about you, but that I really don't want to know about.

Please - can the media just leave private lives, private?

What do they want, a press conference and a book?

Yeah, you're in the right place ;)

So what do you think of the revamped page? I am fickle, yes, and plain pink got a little old.
But anyway, I'd sure appreciate it if you changed your template to Rebekah's Place. Thanks a lot! :)

I'm in la-la land

... Or something since I actually find myself agreeing with Charles Rangel.

"You don't come into my country, you don't come into my congressional district and criticize my president, "

Political posturing? Yes. A bit, er, hypocritical? Yes.

Refreshing? Yeah, that too.

My Interview With Ahmed

I am terribly sorry if this counts as plagarism of some of the hilarious "interviews" I have read, but I had a light-bulb moment after seeing yet another Muslim call for the Pope to apologize.

Me: "Excuse me, Mr. Ahmed, you promised me an interview, remember?"

"Yes?"

Me: "Not all of you! Cripes. Which Ahmed was it?"

Ahmed: "It was me, you stupid infidel. Now get this interview over with so I can finish burning the pope!"

Me: "Okay. Now, Mr. Ahmed, I need to understand. What makes you so angry?"

"YOU STUPID FEMALE INFIDEL!! YOU SHOULD BURN IN HELL!!! I AM ANGRY BECAUSE THE POPE SAID ISLAM IS A VIOLENT RELIGION!! I WILL BEHEAD HIM FOR ALLAH!!"

Me: "Oh. So you're inciting violence because the pope said you were violent?"

Ahmed: "I AM NOT INCITING VIOLENCE! THE INSENSITIVE STUPID INFIDEL POPE WHO SHOULD DIE INCITED THIS VIOLENCE WITH HIS THOUGHTLESS COMMENTS!"

Me: "Stop yelling. Didn't your mother ever teach you manners?"

"ISLAM IS MY MOTHER!!!!!"

Me: "Oh my gosh. What happened to your beard and your cape and all that junk?"

Ahmed: "Burning the evil stupid infidel pope can be dangerous at times, you stupid idiot redneck neo-con AMERICAN!"

Me: "Oh."

Ahmed: "I trust there are no more stupid questions?"

Me: "Actually I have a few more."

Ahmed: "First I must ask you WHY ARE YOU NOT DRESSED AS A PROPER MUSLIM WOMAN???"

Me: "No thanks, black isn't my color. Can we stay on subject?"

Ahmed: "Israel loving whore."

Me: "Whatever. Anyway, may I ask why, if the Pope's comments are so bad, you haven't been condemming terrorism?"

Ahmed: "Terrorism? TERRORISM?? You mean like the unjust and brutal occupation of Iraq for oil!?!"

Me: "It wasn't for oil."

Ahmed: "YES IT WAS!! Some fat infidel in a ballcap told me!!"

Me: "CAN WE PLEASE STAY ON SUBJECT??"

"ISREAL LOVING WHORE!! YOU EAT MUSLIM BABIES!"

Me: "Mr. Ahmed. Isn't it true that you are proving the Pope's point? Isn't it true that you should spend more time condemming those who use your religion for violence than those who point that fact out? Isn't it true that YOU are what's wrong with your religon?"

Ahmed: "I WILL BEHEAD YOU FOR THAT! ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE, AND WHOEVER DISAGREES DESERVES EXECUTION!!"

Me: "Thank you for the interview. I guess I got my answers."

Where has all the anger gone?

Music Video Codes - MySpace Codes - Funny Videos

I just watched The Path to 9-11 and yes, I'm mad. I'm angry. At the evil terrorists who would gladly kill women and children just for the sake of killing. At government beurocracy that refused to see what was clearly coming. At society for forgetting this that is sentimentally called "tragedy" with no mention it was also mass murder. I'm angry. And wondering where all the anger's gone.

Brian Novotny

It is a warm, quiet and sunny morning.
For Brian Novotny, it's a happy one too, because just last week he's become engaged to Theresa Thomas, a registered nurse in the breast cancer center of St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.

He had met her when she was in New York for the weekend. "The chemistry was very strong — no question," Theresa said. "When you have that chemistry, it's unavoidable."

Brian, who came from a large family, is naturally kind and friendly, and he's loved by his many friends and family alike.

He is a voracious outdoorsmen, who enjoys fishing, dirt-biking, snorkeling and skiing.
He loves to travel, and has been to Ireland and London.

It's just another day at work for Brian, who works as a bond trader at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center.

And then the unthinkable happens. We all know the story. We've all seen the footage; heard the numbers.

A life ends. So many lives touched. He will never be forgotten.

Quick hits

Since I'm sorta in a blogging slump and don't have the time or energy for an in-depth post, here are some things that have caught my attention lately.

Top Terror Detainees Transferred to Gitmo
Okay. Wow. Bells and whistles!! Special reports!!! Whoopie, as Simon Cowell would say. Can we get over it already? Please?

Katie Couric Makes 'CBS Evening News' Debut
Can I repeat what I just said?

Kevin Federline's rap debut
Okay! Okay! I take it back. It is possible to be bad at rap. Really bad.

And that's all folks. ;)
