Hillary Clinton, What A Bitch

What snub?

During a Tuesday night appearance on Fox News, Hillary Clinton was asked for the first time about alleged snub:

WALLACE: Finally, Senator Clinton, there was an incident last night at the State of the Union address that is getting a bit of attention. When you get into the hall - we'll put the picture up -- you reached out -- Senator Kennedy and Senator Obama were standing side by side. Senator Kennedy shook your hand, and Senator Obama said he was looking to talk to somebody else. Some people are saying that he snubbed to you. Do you feel like you were snubbed you last night?

SEN. CLINTON: Well, Chris, I reached out my hand in friendship and unity and my hand is still reaching out. And I look forward to shaking his hand when I see him at the debate in California. But what is important here is that any differences between us as Democrats pale in comparison to the differences between us and the Republicans, and I think we will have a unified Democratic Party... We will come together, not only as a party, but as a country in this election year, and I am confident that we are going to present a very strong case to the American people as to why Democrats should once again be in the White House.

k.b.: My title for the post expresses my feelings exactly. Read Barack Obama's response, Campaign Manager David Axelrod's response and a comment by columnist Maureen Dowd here.

You Never Know Where Those Lips Have Been

Rep. Christopher Shays, a Connecticut Republican, "I am particularly determined in this very ugly, political environment in which we find ourselves that the values of respect and compassion I grew up believing in extend even to a President who has a low approval rating."

k.b.: That was a nice gesture and sentiment from Representative Shays and because he's a Republican he had to use the phrase low approval rating instead of "who sucks"

Erica Jong Is A Feminist Big Mouth And Huffington Post Blocks My Comment

Next Time Boychick, We Take the Whole Thing

Erica Jong, 01.30.2008

What is wrong with the chosen people? Chosen for pain? All the psychological troubles of Jewish men -- from Freud to Lenny Bernstein to Philip Roth -- must stem from the dubious ritual of circumcision.

k.b.: Erica Jong blathers (and yes I did use that word) on in her posts speaking for men and women she doesn't know and has never met and gets everyone in a twist over penis skin.

I told her she posts too much now that Hillary is running for president and to go away. I apparently ticked off a Huff Post moderator. It's not like I called her a femi-nazi like Rush Limbaugh would have, I'm sure, had he read the post. Shockingly Huff Post is no longer my bff. See the rules.

With Home Ownership Comes Responsibility OR With Responsibility Comes Home Ownership?

k.b.: And these people want to own a home. They can't even properly take care of a pet.

Hate Spreads An All Consuming Hate

Anti-Gay Church to Protest Heath Ledger Funeral

Shirley Phelps, of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, has told Sydney radio station 2Day FM that they will also picket any attempt to honor Ledger, 28, at next month's Academy Awards ceremony.

"I'm going to stand outside of any public memorial service that he has here," Ms Phelps said.

"And then the other place I'm going to picket him is when they prop him up to worship his dead, rotting carcass further at the Oscars. I'll be right outside by the red carpet."

The Westboro Baptist Church is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre in the United States.

k.b.: It makes me want to puke just to post this. Do I hate her? No, but just like a spreading plague, all Westboro Baptist church members need to be burned at the stake.

Goth Who Keeps Girlfriend On A Dog Leash Complains After Being Thrown Off Bus

Dani Graves, who lead his fiance Tasha Maltby around with a dog collar, say they were discriminated against by a bus company (Ross Parry)

"She is like a pet to me," Graves told ABC News. "I look after her, I run a bath for her every day, I cook for her, I wake her up every day. I even lay clothes out for her. I spoil her. It makes me happy to spoil her."

And everywhere they go, Graves, 25, leads Maltby, 19, around by a spiked black-leather leash attached to her neck.

k.b.: I like to be different but also I say if you're going to act like a dog you're going to be treated like one.

k.b.: It's always my pleasure to bring the ha-ha to your day.

Weed Kills

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Smoking a joint is equivalent to 20 cigarettes in terms of lung cancer risk, scientists in New Zealand have found, as they warned of an "epidemic" of lung cancers linked to cannabis.

k.b.: I'm glad this study has come out. why?

Background: Bill Mahr is one of my favorite comedians who smokes marijuana and wants it made legal. He and many others use the fact that smoking a joint in your own home hurts no one.

My cousin was killed from a stray bullet by a young man who was playing with his gun in his own home after he smoked marijuana. He left behind a young son, parents, a brother and sister and countless other grieving friends and family including myself. Don't tell me it doesn't hurt.

Colin And His Lovely Irish Brogue

ha, you didn't

k.b.: Funny how you can't understand a word Colin Farrell says till he gets to the word fuck. I don't understand why everyone makes such a fuss for a little slip. I swear all the time and I'm not ashamed or embarrassed. I'm more of both when I spell incorrectly. Kudos to Colin for being a little mortified though.

"seconds away from explosion"

Some conservatives, it turns out, have a wee problem with Arizona Sen. John McCain. Actually, they hate him. With a passion. ― Alex Koppelman

k.b.: There's no better entertainment and it's double the fun if it's a conservative "talking" head.
