Pregnant Pigs and Pointless Politicians

This is just for the Floridians out there. The rest of y’all just go off to the pout-a-thon. I’ll catch up soon.

According to how I voted today I am:

1. In favor of allowing people to smoke in the next cubicle.
2. Against allowing people to build an add-on to the house for Grandma.
3. Opposed to voluntary pre-kindergarten education.
4. In favor of huge classes and overworked teachers.
5. A flagrant torturer of pregnant pigs.

Why in frickin’ Hades’ undergarments do we have to do everything ourselves? Do we not have a legislature in Tallahassee? Are they not supposed to deal with things like banning smoking and allocating funds for classrooms and preventing cruelty to pregnant pigs?

So what the hell am I doing wasting my precious pouting time trying to decide whether I have to:

A. Look like a schmuck (sorry Bruce) and an animal hater for voting against a measure that would prevent inhumane confinement of pregnant pigs (Amendment 10)

OR

B. Add language to our state constitution that involves “gestation cases” and pregnant pigs!

Out of the 11 Amendments today, only 4 of them should even be considered for addition to the constitution. In fact, the League of Women Voters of Florida opposes all the others, because “the Constitution should be a simple, integrated statement of basic law free from statutory detail.”

In other words, get off your lazy asses in Tallahassee and make laws about these things yourselves, morons! (I added the moron bit…)

Don’t force me to look like I said, “No, I don’t think we should have a voluntary pre-K program in Florida,” when I really mean: “Come up with one without cluttering up the constitution…morons.” (Couldn’t resist.)

The pain! The pain!

CNN.com – ‘Lost in Space’ villain Jonathan Harris dies at 87 – Nov. 4, 2002.

Bummer. Lost in Space (the TV show, not the silly movie) was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. I remember, once, when there was smoke pouring under the door to our apartment because the basement furnace caught fire, I got mad at my mother for making me leave the burning building. “But, mom! It’s Lost in Space!”

Danger, Will Robinson!

VOTE, DAMMIT!

Ya can’t whine, if ya don’t vote. Well, you can, but I’ll tell you to shut the hell up.

Don’t Even Go There

Word up.

I’m on a pace to finish in 50 days, not 30. Must do better. No more pouting parties this week.

Arise My Minions! To Arms!

I call upon thee to wreak my vengeance upon the accursed Orlando Sentinel, my brothers and sisters! For they have affronted the Great Solonor, Lord of Central Florida Blogdom (subject to ratification by two-thirds of the Blog Senate).

Remember the little interview I did for them that I was so very excited about? I know I mentioned it at least once… Anyway, they ran their stupid little story without me! ME! Best. Blogger. Ever.

The sneaky little worms picked Halloween to run the story, knowing full-well that would be the day Pepperkat would break her foot. Hey…wait a minute…they probably arranged for that, too! Bastidges!

Of course, if I read Mark Lane every day (like I’m supposed to), I would have found out about it sooner. He is a worthy compatriot, left aghast and agog at the turn of events. Um, well, agog at least… But thanks to the ever-vigilant Dragonleg, I have been alerted to their nefarious plot to rob me of my richly deserved spotlight in what Lee (if that is his real name) calls “the fishwrap.”

Sure, sure, I know, the people they highlighted are very worthy and fun to read and all. (I love blissfully bitter already.) But they didn’t even include TECHFLUID–winner of the August 2002 Bloggy for Best Design. Sheesh! [heh heh…I’ll get on her blogroll, yet…mwahaha]

Sure, sure, it’s just a backwater news story in a backwater newspaper in a backwater town. But it’s my backwater town. I guess I could get a spot in the Apopka Planter, but it’s not the same.

Maybe the Bangor Daily News will do a story about bloggers who moved to Florida and use a silly pen name. Nah. They’d probably dis me too…

Help me decide, people. I have two choices. Continue with this vicious vendetta? Or pout?

Pouting takes less energy.

Who’s with me?

Samhain 2002

This is discouraging as hell. I’m sitting here, plunking away at the keys, turning out crap, and Banshee Studios comes out with its Samhain Issue to show me how much I suck. Go there. Read. Talk amongst yourselves. I need a moment.

Lingerie Barbie

Mattel added a new doll to its line up of I Can Be, career-oriented Barbies. Yes, kids, it’s the new Lingerie Barbie!

Art Teacher Barbie stresses that “art education plays a vital role in your child’s creative and social development by strengthening self-image and overall academic performance as well as fostering an appreciation for cultural and ethnic diversity.”

Lingerie Barbie “exudes a flirtatious attitude in her heavenly merry widow bustier ensemble accented with intricate lace and matching peekaboo peignoir.”

I say we match up Serial Killer Ken with Art Teacher Barbie and Nerdy-Boy Ken with Lingerie Barbie…

Yay! I got hate mail (sorta).

Someone signed my guest book (without leaving an e-mail address, of course), and told me what they thought of the banned books pages. Thanks, Smurfer Girl…my little Smurfer Girl…

Looking back at them, though, I realize there’s no disclaimer on them. Oops!

Warning: Taking Solonor’s snarky comments about why we should ban books at face value, may cause unnatural twitching of the indignation gland. Please, use caution when reading them.

Oh, and the Bible is violent and not age appropriate. So there!

Update: My darling daughter has come to my rescue. She’s such a sweetie. But remember: Don’t make Pepperkat angry…you won’t like her when she’s angry…

Stupid pun-man deluxe. Heh. That’s moi.
