Beck is an idiot who is an embarrasment to DNA and RNA. I am not sure how his children manage to not implode from ebarrassment. I have to see a giant poster with his mug on it everyday and it is really only bearable b/c most days I am listening to RM's podcast at the moment it comes into my vision.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks for the Snopes link.
I am perfectly comfortable with my knowledge of computer security, after 15 years in the field. Explaining this to panicky relatives and friends who - sad to say - don't know a CD-ROM table from a cupholder (hand to God)...yeah.
Yay Snopes!
SH, seemingly there have also been rumors that under the new health plan the government will be able to take money directly out of your bank account. sigh.
You know how I foil their eeeevil plans? Being broker than broke.
TRY AND FIND MY MONEY, GOVERNMENT BITCHEZ!!! You can't, because there ain't none!!!

I saw a clip of Kathy Lee Gifford claiming that doll gave her the willies because what was next? Dolls doing it? She basically equated breastfeeding with sex. She was appalled that girls who hadn't developed breasts were pretending to breastfeed. I don't know if she is sickened by wee girls feeding their dollies with bottles.
I'm appalled she never made her dolls 'do it'.
My sister barely makes a living wage and she's had to take two weeks furlough this summer. It drives me crazy that they don't target those things a little more.
I sure as hell don't want to be furloughed but I could absorb it a lot better than people further down the scale can. Above 23k isn't exactly a progressive scale.
I know lots and lots of wee children - boys and girls - who "breastfeed" their dolls with their actual nipples. I have also seen a little boy "breastfeed" a toy truck. Kids with nursing younger siblings already do this kind of imitative play all the time.
She basically equated breastfeeding with sex.
Well, one usually does have to have the latter to make the former necessary...
We were talking about the breasfeeding doll at work yesterday, and I couldn't decide if I thought it was awesome or weird. Possibly both? I think any kind of active bodily functions are weird on a doll, but I think pro-breastfeeding propaganda is awesome.
