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

some idiot tweeters are calling for a boycott of Arizona Iced Tea products. Which are not, in fact, produced or based in Arizona. They're in New York.

Remember years ago when there was a rumor that Snapple (I think) had a KKK symbol on its label? The symbol was actually indicating it was kosher.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Can I boycott Arizona Iced Tea because it tastes like crap?

If I can not drink it because it's loaded with high fructose corn syrup, I don't see why not.

Sorry, no, you have to keep drinking it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just need to be all show offy.

For Secretary's Day I got:

$200 Target Gift Certificate, $50 Visa Gift Card, $50 PF Chang's Gift Card, See's Candy, three lunches so far, and two lovely cards. I feel all loved and stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow! That's a haul.

I should really call someone to get the information I need for my last project that I should finish by tomorrow, but I don't feel like it. I would rather take a nap, and find that she's actually responded to one of my several emails.

Always Anti-fascist!

The whole boycott thing is getting kind of crazy. Not that there should be one, but for people's sake here, I hope it's brief. The rhetoric, though, is getting nuts. I thought lefties were supposed to be the ones who *didn't* generalize and didn't leap in to wishing discomfort on people. And also, you don't need to post about every Cold Stone cone you don't eat...it's not like getting chased by dogs in Birmingham, people, damn. Do what you need to do, but I am going to take it personally reading "racist pieces of shit," from a bunch of out-of-towners who sort of think the Suns are cool. I feel pretty confident saying "Russell Pearce is a racist piece of shit." based on almost every written statement I have read from him in over ten years. My brother somehow thinks I'll find it comforting that more of the Republicans voted for that bill based on back-room promises than overt racist sentiment.He knows more of the state leg. GOP(Which is, quite frankly, not something I'd especially brag about, but the boy ain't right.He loves when he can be A.J., Boy Macher, though.) I can accept his assessment, but it's not like I'm brushing my hands off going "Well, as long as they only exchanged *favors* for it, it's fine with me. Problem solved!" And here I've been wondering if he can think like a politician. I think we're good, on that.
