I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She also sent out a message to some supporters that compared her persecutions to that of the Native Americans, and called the Smart Bitches bloggers "spiteful girls."
I'm telling you, next comes pseudicide, and then we start getting notes from "her husband." Might be helped in this case by the fact that she actually has a husband.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Don't forget that it would make her great-great-grandmother the full-blooded Indian Feel Bad.
