Shit's all sorts of different now.

Grrrr.

Dear Cow-orker -

If you have someone in your office, PICK UP THE GODDAMNED PHONE. You know it's me, you know how I talk, and you KNOW my propensity for being .... colorful .... with my language.

Thanks for embarassing me, asswipe.

Me.

What about the movie A Price Above Rubies? I haven't seen it yet, but a Jewish friend of mine swears its one of the best movies that came out in 1998. [link]

It's set in a conservative Jewish community. Some of the characters are portrayed positively, others not so much.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

It was just on one of the Encore movie channels over the weekend, and I caught a few minutes of it. Sort of strange seeing Renee Zellwinger as an Orthodox Jewish wife, complete with wig and long-ish skirt.

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

OK, don't nobody be freakin' out here, as this is a very extreme position, but... there are people who are trying to overturn the 19th Amendment. You know, the one that gave women the right to vote?

I'm gonna whitefont this for the benefit of those who don't want their heads to explode:

"The Nineteenth Amendment caused government spending to skyrocket, which converted the United States, its Constitution, and its Bill of Rights, into a totalitarian state. Professor John Lott of the Law School University of Chicago proved statistically that it was women's suffrage, and nothing else, which caused this unbridled government growth. Spending too much for government destroyed private property rights, plunged the US into huge debts and destroyed Personal Savings. Professor Lott demonstrated that the reason the increase in federal expenditures resulting from the First World War didn't return to its previous historic level was due solely to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1921. This unbridled government growth is why one third of the men in the world who are behind bars are American men, why an American man is 1,000 times more likely than a Japanese or an Italian or a Greek man to be convicted of rape, why more Americans per capita are incarcerated for just drinking and driving than Japanese are for all crimes combined even though a non-drinking woman driver is five times more likely to have a fatal accident than a drinking man driver, why existing adultery and sodomy laws are not upheld, and why the US is the only industrialized nation with a negative Personal Savings rate."

A stunning display of idiocy....

Wow. I had no idea that my vote gave me such power.

Y'all excuse me. I have to go use my voting rights to force all men to wear eye-liner and leather, funded by a repressive hike in property taxes. And maybe something involving gay pr0n on PBS, depending on whether I can work it in around my pilates class.

Ooh, yes, let's do this! What the hell have we been waiting for anyway? Except I'm not down with that exercise shit.

Other than the tax hike, this doesn't sound so bad...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ummm, yeah. That's why all of Europe and Canada are flaming hellholes of totalitarianism, 'cause of all them wimmins voting. If they'd only withdraw that incredibly destructive civil right, they'd become models of peaceable, law-abiding and fiscally responsible representative democracy, just like so many of our Islamist oil buddies.

Everything on my desk right now is, like, brain-bendingly complicated. Or the result of people being brain-bendingly stupid.

The baby Jesus and I will be over in the corner throwing a temper tantrum.

Man, talk about crazy troll logic. Because women in Japan have the vote, too--so how come Japanese men aren't incarcerated at higher rates?

Wow, that's... wow. But there are an endless number of nutjobs in this country. Including the people who live their lives as though they're characters in a "Gor" novel.

I'm not going to worry about losing my vote, though. That ship has left the harbor.
