ack Jesse! Falling sucks!

I got in early due to having to go get my brows did at butt o'clock this morning and I was all go-hung to finish this big project before getting lunch but I've run into complications and my motivation has fled and I am hungry now. feh.

Has anyone wished Polter-Cow a happy birthday yet?

Happy Birthday, Polter-Cow!!!!!1!

(thank you Facebook)

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.

cereal to say:

Happy Birthday, P-C!!! *smooooooooch*

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.

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?

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.

To me, hate speech would be along the lines of, "All those followers of Jesus are smelly and lazy and they lie and cheat and steal a lot." Saying, "Jesus can bite me" might be blasphemous and perhaps (from a Christian's point of view) inviting the wrath of God on the person who said it, but that doesn't seem like hate speech to me.
