Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wah wah wah -- I wiped out on some stairs on my way to the doctor's this morning, and now I'm all owie. At least I bought a Yorkie bar on the way there, so now I can eat chocolate while saying "Fuck you" to The Man.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

this morning i am being heartily amused by cow-orkers who just can't handle change. our system got upgraded over night to a shinier, sleeker version and no one but me seems to like it. they're whining about the text being too small to read.

strangely, today feels like a friday and i feel okay.

You know how some days you're fairly sure there's something wrong with your brain?

I just went to the bathroom, washed my hands, then used the toilet.

Happy Birthday Polter Cow!

My mom was in town last weekend and brought me a lasagna. Eating a whole lasagna by yourself means many, many, many meals of lasagna.

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

P-C generally doesn't hang out in Natter.

Is this offensive? Hate speech? Should it be censored (by a TV network)?

LOS ANGELES - Before Kathy Griffin won a creative arts Emmy last weekend for her reality show, "My Life on the D-List," she joked that an award would move her to the C-list.

She was right: "C" as in censored. The TV academy said her raucous acceptance speech will be edited when the event, which was taped, is shown Saturday on the E! channel. The main prime-time Emmy Awards air the next night on Fox.

"Kathy Griffin's offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night," the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Monday.

In her speech, Griffin said that "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!"

The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."

According to the TV academy and E!, when the four hour-plus ceremony is edited into a two-hour program, Griffin's remarks will be shown in "an abbreviated version" in which some language may be bleeped.

The "off-color remark about Christ" was "Suck it, Jesus!" Which I guess is what all the hoopla and hullabaloo is about. I'm not sure - would "Suck it, Yahweh!" be offensive? Hate speech? When it was clearly a joke?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it's a joke that many will find offensive (and she not just knew it, but bargained on it). But I don't think that makes it hate speech.

Man, I wish the Percocet would kick in so I can fall asleep.
