But why cry about it?

On Barbara Walter's show, Oprah started crying.  "I'm not a lesbian. I'm not even kind of a lesbian," she said.  Ok, she and Gayle are just really good friends.

But, being a lesbian is nothing to cry over.  Or not being one.  Or maybe just being accused of being one.

UPDATE:  Ok, Oprah wasn't crying over spilt lesbianism.  She was crying about not having told Gayle this:  "She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves, I don't know a better person."  Now Gayle should know. (HuffingtonPost.com)

It's funnier before you know that, though... But when Walters asked her "But do you think that Sarah Palin is qualified to be president?"  Oprah just said she was "not going to answer that question."  That is sort of an answer

Hunting Reality

For entertainment purposes, Sarah Palin shot, killed and dressed a moose.  She predicted that people wouldn't like it too much:

"Unless you've never worn leather shoes, sat upon a leather chair or eaten meat, save your condemnation."  Sarah Palin on Facebook


But some didn't save the condemnation.


"I can't make a distinction between what you get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for doing." Aaron Sorkin

Basically, Sarah is running the longest political ad in history on TLC.  Wonder who she will shoot and kill next?

An interesting stocking stuffer?

What do you get for the girl who has everything this holiday season?  This might just be the thing.  It sort of falls in line with the "Ugly Christmas Sweater" thing, though.

It seems that some old "Baron" who lived in Miami, passed on recently, and in his estate they found that he owned a pair of Queen Elizabeth's underwear.  Yep, that's right, QE left her drawers on some airplane back in 1968 and the Baron got them.  And now they are for sale.

And what would one hope to spend on the Queens unmentionables?  The estate is "hoping to get around $9,000." 

You can get ugly shorts at Target for a heck of a lot less.

Embracing

So Bristol Palin thinks that if Margaret Cho just understood the things that the Palins believe in she "would embrace us faster than KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert."  Well, at least that's what she typed on her Facebook page in response to Cho's assessment that Sarah "harshly and openly" blames Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston for losing the 2008 election and made Bristol join dancing with the stars.

But maybe not everybody would embrace the Palins if they just understood better.  Kate Gosselin obviously doesn't embrace the Mama Grizzly.  The two TLC "reality stars" were supposed to get together for a camping trip in Alaska.  This could have brought the "plus 8" mom back into the fame she once had before dropping Jon.  But, she doesn't get the camping in Alaska concept.


"It just kills me that people, like, willingly do this."  She tells the camera.  "I don't see a table, I don't see utensils, I don't see hand-cleansing materials," she whimpers.  Bummer.  So there was no camping. She gathered up her children and, mere hours after their arrival, they have eaten and run.  As Sarah points out "We had lunch with them on a sand bar."

Wonder if Kate will embrace KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert then?

Road Rage?

It could be either some road rage (taken on by the road) or it could be the road's feeling about snowy weather.  A “Don’t Walk” signal at a crosswalk in Spokane, Wash., sent a most impolite message to pedestrians on Wednesday. (FoxNews.com)

Spokeswoman Marlene Feist said "snow was embedded in the electric sign."  And the snow had creatively blocked two fingers on the left and one on the right -- leaving the middle digit proudly standing alone.

Not sure that I believe that this was entirely an unintended accident.  Snow embedded in sign probably would have made a fist...

Here's to you traffic!  Or F You SNOW!

Can They See Me at My House?

Ok, granted Sarah Palin never actually said that.  It was her doppleganger, Tina Fey who was spoofing her comment "They're our next-door neighbours and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."  So, can the Russians see her?  Well, they obviously have formed an opinion about her.


JoeMyGod.Blogspot.com reports today "Russia's Pravda newspaper is blasting Sarah Palin as an unpatriotic traitor."  They accuse of her unpatriotism because of what she has said about the President of the United States.  "She accuses President Obama of not taking 'steps' to assure the (WIkiLeaks) leaks were not published."  Pravda then asks where she and "her GOP" were before and during the 9/11 attacks.


Such eloquent writing by the newspaper, too.  "Spankin' Sarah Palin comes across as a pitifully inadequate anachronism from the times of the Far West."  Pravda also describes Palin as "a clown short of a circus" with the tact of a "boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral."


Ahh... and where does one get a subscription?

FOOD FIGHT!!

That is the hot topic today.  It is all about food.  The only thing that the Senate can agree on is food.  In an article at AboutLawsuits.com, the passing of a new food safety bill is praised as "Sweeping" and "Bipartisan".  So, the thought of "MORE GOVERNMENT" to regulate and require more inspections so that kids in the midwest don't get poisoned by salmonella laced eggs, is just fine with this group.  They can't agree on anything else, but at least they can agree on no more e coli.


But there may be another battle along the food lines coming up.  Last week before Thanksgiving, as you  may recall, Sarah Palin was very upset with Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program to get kids to eat better and be more active.  Sarah thinks (and that term is used lightly) the government needs to quit trying to control everything and let parents exercise their "God-given rights" to make their own decisions for their families. (AssociatedContent.com)  So it is not the government's place to save the kids this time.  Let the parents raise obese children if they want to.


Wonder what Ms. Palin would think if the government wanted to regulate another group of people's diets?  "The U.S. Army plans to get new recruits into better shape with a revamped approach to health, fitness and diet at basic training." (HuffingtonPost.com)  Imagine that.  The government wants to replace soda fountains with milk and juice dispensers and white bread and pasta will be replaced by whole grains.


Come on, Sarah!  Go fight a war with the Army!  It is a Private's "God-given right" to eat whatever the hell they want to!  You go get 'em, Palin. 


Where is a good, old fashioned - fling the gravy - type of food fight, when you need one?
