I'm now picturing Christina as a vampire who went and sucked away whatever class Brittney had.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That is the great thing about the Fug girls. They acknowledge and encourage as well as reprimand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! If only I believed that Britney ever had class.
Also, Gawker continues their surprisingly amusing coverage of that offensive Forbes article Jess linked to about how you shouldn' marry a woman who makes a lot of money: [link]

It's gotten mushy-headed, right?
I've never read it regularly. I've always like they got attention through wild misrepresentations and deliberately outrageous opinion pieces. Which is probably unfair, but I never saw anything that made me want to delve into it.
But lately the basic quality of the writing pains me. Maybe that's just Kevin Berger, though. Or his editor. I think when he's done there will be no commas left for anyone else.

A friend of mine worked as an editor for Salon ages ago. There was a mass exodus of what sounded like bitter editorial staff at one point, and that's when she left. I don't recall what prompted it. For all I know, the dot-com crash.

Well, at least there's SOME thought here:
In 2005, two University of Michigan scientists concluded that if your wife has a job earning more than $15 an hour (roughly $30,000 a year), she will do 1.9 hours less housework a week. Of course, this can be solved if the husband picks up a broom.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
There was a period when Salon was worth paying for, right around the time we Went To War and all that.
Now, it's not usually even worth me clicking through an ad.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I know, Vortex, can you believe? I thought it was a joke at first.
