I’ve been out of the country more times than vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. And that was BEFORE the news discovered that she’s actually been exaggerating her ONE overseas trip.
According to news reports, she actually DID NOT go into Iraq. And her trip to Ireland? oh yea, that was just a refueling stop. If I counted all the places I’ve refueled or changed plans… well, I’d have been to a lot more places.
Knowing what the rest of the world is like is a VERY important point for the leaders of our country. We’re already filled with such American-centric people, we don’t need them running our country. I love the U.S. compeletly, but you must know how the rest of the world lives.
At a popular café in Beverly Hills, the waiter reaches over my shoulder to point at the photo of Meg Ryan on my table.
“She comes in here a lot,” he says, but after a pause adds, “Well, she used to, but not anymore. I don’t know where she went.”
That seems to be the general consensus about Meg Ryan, one of the top earning women actresses in Hollywood, whose celestial curls, startling blue eyes and sweetheart smile were once gracing the nearest movie screen hit after hit. From When Harry Met Sally, to Sleepless in Seattle, to You’ve Got Mail, there seemed to be no stopping Meg Ryan….
I had grand plans to write a celebration blog when I reached 4,000 hits, since I missed all the other milestones, but alas I missed that one too. So here’s to 4,111 hits.
Thanks to all those who’ve checked this site out. I’m not sure why you do it, but I’m glad you do.
On the radio today I heard about a book called The Re-education of the Female. I thought, this must be a joke. No one in modern society could get away with writing this book. Even if for some unknown reason it was published, no one would read it, right?
First time author Dante Moore claims that he tells women what men are really thinking–in the most blunt and honest way possible. What a kind man for providing his infinite wisdom on poor little women. Moore, who has never been married, says the book will help women find “a man of quality.”
Here are some great quotes for you:
“Here’s a little secret, ladies. Men never really ask for anything. They command. And believe me, what you won’t do, ten broads around the corner will.”
“The fatter you get, the more you decrease your potential single-man pool. Let me give you an example. When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find? Oh you don’t? Why not? It’s the same with men when they see baby-elephant-sized, out-of-shape women.”
If that is the was a “man of quality” thinks, then I’ll pass.
Moore claims he’s never been in real love, and that’s why he’s never been married. He does seem to also think he is God’s gift to women, ready to bestow his wisdom on us. Thank you Dante, for making a buck of the insecurities of women. What a novel idea.
The Washington Post did a little piece on this genius. Read it here.
**UPDATE: As you can see in my comments, THE Dante Moore himself visited my blog, and had some pretty vapid, pathetic things to say. Check out my response here.
If I could pick one person to represent California abroad, it would be Arnold. He has such an excellent track record: polite to women, smart about politics, very articulate and has gotten a whole lot done in office….right.
So, seeing as the Austrian-born governor sat down with the German magazine Der Speigel, I am not surprised that he gave some real gems of new quotes.
He doesn’t talk to the Republican Party–because they are crazy (politically). Nevermind that he is a part of that party. What a party pooper.
Of course, he went on to call Sarah Palin a “good looking woman” because, really, to Arnold, every woman running for office should be judged only on her looks. But wait, he also says she is “feisty.” Good. Glad we cleared that up.
Maybe something was lost in translation? Somehow I doubt it.
Lots of people in Los Angeles–dare i say California– have problems with their identity, with consistency of their statements, and with being misogynistic pigs. I just wish we weren’t represented by one.
