Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, in good news, Santorum is behind in the polls for the next election.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Maybe, but he's still in the Senate now.

And election day is a long way off.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Is it just me, or is this over the top? I know that I am very sensistive about money these days because I just bought a goddamn house, but I'm looking at at LEAST $500 BEFORE I buy a gift!!

Um. That is craxxy. Also, my impression is that people in the wedding party do not need to buy a gift, 'cause of all the shower expenses etc. At least, that's what I've heard. I may not know so many insane-o bridezilla types though.

The pre wedding stuff? @@

And that's all I'll say about that.

Is it just me, or is this over the top?

Will you be expected to make your own individual wedding cupcakes, too? That seems like rather a lot of muchness there.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

too much money. and really - the bride is telling the bridesmaids that " this is your shower" and the bachlorette thing - I'm confused.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Vortex, that is freaking insane. Damn.

Now tagless for your comfort.

vortex, I'd be looking for any excuse to not attend any event you can't afford or don't feel obligated. It's one thing to expect someone to pick up their expenses for being in the wedding party and *maybe* a shower OR a bachelor/bachelorette party. Anything beyond that is fucking ridiculous and I would say, "gee, sorry, I can participate in x event and that's all I can do."

Sewing your own skirts? With no pattern? A wine tour? Three showers? Bridezilla City. Too craxy for words.

The best line I've heard about Rick Santorum is "The 'p' is silent".

Wow. I really like the Smart Roadster.

It's roadster year in the car industry.

There's a new Miata. [link]

There's the new Pontiac Solstice [link]

There's a new Mercedes SLK [link]

There's the Saturn Sky next year [link]

And there's the new Ford Mustang convertibles (not really roadsters). [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd just like to point out that MA has some of the lowest rates of divorce, abortion and teenage pregnancy in the nation. (It's also one of the more Catholic states.)

Yeah, yeah, I know it's not like Santorum actually cares about facts, nor is there a single journalist out there who will point this out when recounting what he said. Feh.

But the gays, Theo! THE GAYS!!!

Gay marriage is the next best thing to sexual abuse by priests, really.

I do not have words for how much I hate Rick Santorum. I am only glad that many many other people can now agree with me
