Dr. Laura Sclessinger's very own stupid thing.

Story from here. I found it fascinating that she said she was being "NAACP'd" instead of "Breitbarted."

Driftglass  looks eerily like Jean Reno, and is actually exactly that much taller than I am.

And he did that HILarious photoshop.


New website is http://professionalleft.blogspot.com, email is proleftpodcast AT gmail DOT com. Can't believe we grabbed that blogspot name before someone else got it. The old websites still work.....

Meanie-shop workshop

In an earlier podcast I asked aloud if the current Mrs. Gingrich should be part of our political debate.

Then after we all read the lovely profile via wife number two in Esquire, I found out that Mock, Paper, Scissors calls her "Blow Job Queen Wife #3" and I said, aw heck, nevermind.



That's not quite it. Maybe a Blingee:



Sometimes a cigar is a hypocritical double-standard IOKIYAR right wing ahole. But still not quite right....

Boom. Here it is:

Cuz we wouldn't be happy if Kucinich were President.

For those family members who haven't seen it and don't know the background, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs complained yesterday that the "professional Left" would only be happy with Canadian Healthcare and would complain if Dennis Kucinich was President. See here:



Wow, that Robert Gibbs won the "Mensa reject of the week award" for reminding us about that. I didn't think anyone could bump Rahm's place in line for the White House Official who should be fired first.



So which is it, are we too bitchy or Obamabots? Peanut butter? Chocolate? you got your Obamabots in my bitchy bloggers!

I believe the word I'm searching for is, WTF?!?

I'm very busy today, and while I'm launching kids to camp and getting this place in some shape, I'll be cheering myself with this ditty. Have a good one. More blogging laters.

Gay marriage is good for kids.

Just like any other marriage that's happy and supportive.

And besides, gay or straight, your kids will resent you and rebel no matter WHO you are married to.



I had to laugh at Tony Perkins because as he was spouting off I realized that on the "parents mess up their kids' lives" motif:

Both "sides" do it.

I never thought I'd actually have a use for that phrase.


Salon at 9 Eastern tonight. I promise to be there at the beginning...life is crazy this week. xo

Sweet Jesus, I hate Newt Gingrich.

Did you need something else on that? Because if I start enumerating his hypocrisies in my head, I'll never stop throwing up.

Furries?

Happy Birthday, @LizzWinstead!

This post was originally written for another amazing woman, but it fits Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and let's face it, Goddess, just as well. - bg

I wanted to make a blog cake for Lizz Winstead. I knew trying to slice a cake on the internet would get really messy, and would interrupt my morning Scotch, so I went with cupcakes, and of course they had to be Hello Kitty cupcakes, cuz they're so fucking cute.

I searched on Google for Hello Kitty cupcake ideas and holy shit I could have taken the whole morning just to browse the endless stream of freakish Asian cute sugar overload. 210,000 hits in .24 seconds? Fuck me. And even if you're making these for a three year old, get over it: every one of them looked like shit. We have lots of Hello Kitty items cluttering up my fucking house, so I cut out a Hello Kitty (head only, DECAPITATION, PERFECT!) from my Hello, Kitty! social events calendar, fuck you very much. I tried to find one that was the size of a muffin-size cake top, so I could just paste it on a vending machine muffin, but I failed, so I dug out the Hello Kitty Shrinky Dinks kit and baked one in my Hello Kitty toaster oven, too small to stick my head in, but whatever.

One website suggested I purchase white fondant (Sure.), roll this out and with a sharp knife cut 39 (forever, Lizz!) Hello Kitty heads out. They also suggested I use mini M&M's (split in half to get the oblong shape, beyotch) for the eyes and nose. I am also supposed to dye some of the fondant pink and use a flower shape cutter to put by her ear. For the centre of the flower, I'm supposed to have 39 yellow mini M&Ms available, fucking A!

After assembling these, I am to wake up and realize I had spent two hours with mother fucking FONDANT. What the hell was I thinking? So then I made the cupcakes (just basic chocolate cake mix, because hey, why go over the top at this point?) and iced them with canned icing, dyed pink from the blood streaming from my eyes. I put my imaginary fondant Hello Kitty heads on top of the cupcakes, and finally gave up and just used Sharpie pen for the whiskers, because, fuck it.

They looked like shit and because of the Sharpie Pen, school paste, and blood they were completely inedible. I had to set fire to them, but that made them look like a kind of cool art installation, you know, Hello Kitty Cupcakes of Death. Perfect!

Happy Birthday Lizz. Those of you who want to wish her a happy birthday should retweet this post, because the real Governor of Illinois is Blogho.
