I was just thinking about my cat, Matty and thought I would post a really cute pic of her. She has many nicknames, but our most favorite is Sgt. Makito. When you see her, you must salute. HA!

My cat, Matty

(This is really funny! I totally agree with this guy. I've encountered the nightclub valet before, and it is pretty weird. Why is this person there?)
Grrr! When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Tip!

There is a lot that I cannot do. Open heart surgery looks particularly hard. Ditto brain surgery, rocket science, heck, even simple algebra is over my head. But one thing I do know how to do, and very well I might add — all by myself — is go to the bathroom. So when I walk into a men's room at a fancy Manhattan steak house, the last thing I need is help. I don't need mouthwash, or Drakkar Noir or even a stick of gum.
And I certainly don't need someone to pump the handle on the paper towel dispenser three or four times for me. In short, I have no use for the bathroom valet.
None.
I don't want your cologne, or your Scope or your Doublemint gum. I don't even want your "How you doin'?" I just want to use the facilities in peace. I don't want to be guilted into throwing a dollar into your tip jar.
shouldn't have to give you money for something I can do very well on my own. You see, I'd rather give that money to my server or my sommelier. I need help in getting my food from the kitchen to my table. I'd like someone else to go into the wine cellar and retrieve the bottle I ordered, bring it to my table, pop the cork and then pour it into my glass.
But help in the john? No, thank you. Don't want it. Didn't request it. Don't even want to think about it.
It's bad enough that the bathroom can barely fit two people as it is, I don't need to be squeezing by the bathroom valet getting in and out. Nope. Not interested. No, siree.
And how does one apply for the job as the bathroom valet anyway? Do you think they walk in to a club or a restaurant with a resume full of references for the job? How does one even request the position?
"No, Mr. Manager, not interested in waiting on tables, cooking or even busing tables. What I really want to do is spend six hours in the men's room handing out paper towels and sticks of bubble gum to men who are in dire need of a urinal. Now that's how I want to contribute to society."
I don't really get it.
And then there's that awkward moment when you use the bathroom for a second time. You feel the need to announce loudly enough for everyone else to hear that you were already there and "I got you last time."
Not to mention that the last thing I'm thinking about as I'm heading to the facility is bringing my wallet with me, "for the bathroom valet." Heck, I barely carry cash anymore as it is. Next thing you know the valet will have a credit card machine for tips.
So to the bathroom valet, the concept of the bathroom valet, the nightclubs and restaurants that employ the bathroom valet and the society that makes the bathroom valet even conceivable, I say Grrr!

Heidi Fleiss
The Madam is back with a whole new gig....this time in Nevada. But that is not what I am concerned about. What is alarming is how horrible her plastic surgery is. Just check out this pic here (next to her lawyer would be the 'before', track suit photo is her 'after'). Holy Eyebrows! There m
ust be 3 inches of space between the top of her eye and the brow. On my face, this particular space is about 1 1/2 inches. Her nose looks a little different as well. And what is going on with that upper lip?? YIKES
Ted Turner is crazy
Ah, but he thinks it is Bush who is the crazy one. Here he is at Kansas State University on Monday spouting off about the art of war being outdated and nukes.
Go get 'em Tiger Ted!!
Go get 'em Tiger Ted!!
The Shield is Back!!
The best show on TV, hands down, is The Shield on FX. It will be back for Season 5 very soon, January 2006. Stay tuned!
Camilla most fascinating?
Barbara Walters has named Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the most fascinating person of 2005. What?!! Now, I could easily rip on this woman for a number of things (i.e. adultry, comparing her to Diana, etc...), but I won't. I just don't get it. How is marrying the Prince of Wales a fascinating feat?
And now onto some others on the list:
Tom Cruise: Fascinating I think not. More like perplexing maybe... Confusing...but certinantly not fascinating.
Kanye West: Why this guy? What has he done that is so fascinating? He can rap - so what! Oh, let me guess....that famous line about Bush hating black people. I don't find that fascinating at all. It's shameful and shows his ignorance, and now he is getting to warm his butt on Barbara's couch to discuss it. Pluuuuzzeeee

This makes me sick!!
Here is a lovely story coming out of Florida about a guy who buried a 5 month old puppy alive!! People like this are not even human in my opinoin. I hope his bad karma comes back to bite him.....literally!! What he deserves is to get mauled by a pack of dogs!
Asshole!
Asshole!
Sad News from the world of children's lit
Did anyone else out there read The Berenstain Bears when you were a kid? I did and loved them. The co-creator has passed away. Sad.....
Sandy Berger - where are you going in such a hurry?
Wow, 30 miles over the speed limit? Maybe he's trying to get outta dodge with some more stolen classified documents.....

Defending Sadaam
A former U.S. Attorney general is going to defend Sadaam? Despicable.
This guy opposed the Iraq war, so this shouldn't be too surprising.
Could this be treason? Seems like it to me....

Taliban bodies burned - so what?! Ask me if I care....
The soliders who did this should not get discipline, but honors. When terrorists burned the bodies of our civilian workers in Iraq, there was no outrage over that. It barely made the news cycle over here. But these US heros are being disciplined b/c they showed a lack of cultural and religious understanding. HUH?! What about American bodies?? In case you have forgotten, I have included a picture, from the Michael Savage website. If you ask me, this was pretty f&*$ing insensitive and showed a complete lack of humanity.
We have used nuclear weapons?
According to Iran's insane hostage-taking president, our president has used nuclear weapons against innocent people? Which people? When was this? Huh..you would think we would have heard about this, or maybe seen a really large mushroom cloud somewhere?
Our president is a war criminal? Ok, Mr. Iran, what about those U.S. hostages you took back in 1979? Did you forget about that one?

Now here's a reason not to have text messenging
I don't have one of those bells n whistles cell phones - no fancy ring, no color screen, etc.. and esp no text messenging. My opinoin is, why. Why do you need that when you can just pick up the phone and call the person. Why make yourself so available? And, it's also a distraction....as this poor kid found out the hard way. He will have to live with this for the rest of his life.
Some more props to Bruce Willis
This guy's career is kind of no-where at the moment, but hey, that's ok. Look at what he is doing with his free time. Hopefully his movie will be a better portrayal of what is going on. Can anyone say Jarhead?

PETA sucks
Oh Boy... this is....I just don't have the words for what this is.
Thanks to JAWA Report for this one.

Holiday Tree?
What the hell is this??! Boston is trying to call their city Christmas Tree and "holiday tree"? WHAT?
Look people, it is a CHRISTMAS TREE, not anything else. It is a major symbol of Christianity. If a tree is that frickin' offensive, then fine, a huge Menorah can be put up as well. I think the Hanukkah lights are beautiful and as a Catholic I'm not offened one bit. A tree should not be offensive to anyone either. UGH!

Thanksgiving in Crawford - yummy
Turkey was not on the menu at the anti-war protestors' Thanksgiving day feast. They upped the anty on their protesting by boycotting traditional American fare.
You go get 'em!! You really showed us with your tabbouli and feta cheese!!

Out of control shopping
WOA NELLY!! Who is this desparate for a bargin? Christmas shopping got crazy today around the country. Check out the photos in this story from WND.
Thank god I spent my day at the park enjoying a long walk with my boyfriend and my dog.

Israel, shame on you!
This story is a major rant. Anyone in Hezbollah is not a "guerrilla". The correct term would be Terrorist Jew Killer! Israel, why are you capitulating to these pieces of crap??!! ugh....
Big Bust out in Yakima
Washington is in the national news spotlight again for a 2nd time in less than a week.
What did you learn in school today?
What are kids being taught in school these days? This is unacceptable!! And I'm not just saying that b/c I am a conservative. A teacher has no buisness sticking his or her political views into the classroom.....
Just the facts ma'mn, just the facts.

Chris Matthews, please come back to Planet Common Sense
Does anyone out there watch Chris Matthews on MSNBC? Have you ever noticed how speaks as if he is angry ALL the time, foaming at the mouth about everything? There is always this little scowl on his face. I can only listen to him for about 30 seconds before I have to change the channel.
Now he is saying that terrorists "just have a different perspective". HUH?? And there is this quote:
"The smartest people understand the enemy's point of view, because they understand what's driving them."
Well Mr Matthews, I happen to be a smart person and I could care less to understand the point of view of the terrorists... I think I know what is driving them - the pure evil ambition of cleansing the earth of Americans and Christians, and Muslims too, as they like to blow up their fellow countrymen.
This guy is nuts. How the hell does he still have a show on TV?! ugh...

Excellent Blog!
I have passed this one out before, but thought I would mention it again. Make this blog one of your favorites and check is everyday for some HILARIOUS celebrity fashion commentary!

Amen!
Came across this little nugget on FoxNews.com today. They have a section on their website dedicated to people's "Grrrr's", and that is where I pulled this one from today. I couldn't have said it better myself!
Roger in Cyberspace: My Grrr goes to those who are offended by the greeting, “Merry Christmas." Just who are these self-righteous individuals who feel they need to change the world because their little feelings are hurt by a gesture of good will? Can’t you just ignore it and move on? Do you have to drag the rest of us down? Do you have to destroy Christmas for the rest of us, especially the children? These oblivions will moan about Christmas, but they’llmore than happily enjoy the days off from work and the “after-Xmas” sales at the mall.

Did President Bush want to bomb Al-Jarzeera?
HA!! Seeing this headline made me crack up. What a great idea! I don't balme Bush one bit for coming up with this one. I wonder what else he's got.....
Madonna...oh you are so wise
I happen to enjoy Madonna's music, but man I wish she would shut up. Why do celebrities think they have all the answers in life and feel the need to peach to others? Here she is in a recent interview spouting off about how all God cares about is "how I behaved, how I treated people". No really Madonna? You are just figuring this out now? Thanks for informing the rest of us!
What's up with CNN?
A big "X" over the Vice President's face during a speech yesterday? Pretty weird.... what is going on here?

Good News
A close friend of mine, Naarah, brought her new daughter into the world yesterday, Genevieve Grace. I'm so thrilled for her!
Environmental Hypocrites
I stumbled across this fabulous editorial today, from Newsmax.com. This is worth reading. Basically, all those environmental wackos are mostly a bunch of anti-human wastoids. They don't even like their own species!
Case in point here:
"Humans have grown like a cancer!" says PETA head, Ingrid Newkirk. "We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth! There is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders?" she raves on. "Yes! I will be the last person to condemn ALF. Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals."

Baretta Goes Down
Uh Oh.....looks like Robert Blake might be joining OJ in Florida soon. I'm not sure of all the tax laws there, but I do know that as long as OJ lives there, he doesn't have to pay a dime of the $33M settlement against him. I wonder if these two are on the phone together right now, with OJ giving Big Rob tips on how to move to FL quickly....
Chavez is insane...
Here's a quote from Venezuela's leader:
"The planet's most serious danger is the government of the United States. ... The people of the United States are being governed by a killer, a genocidal murderer and a madman," Chavez said at a meeting of Venezuelan and Brazilian business executives in Caracas.
Wow, I had no idea my president was so evil. Glad this guy pointed it out. Full story here.

Catholic crackdown in China
What more can I say....this country really sucks. Unfortunately they happen to be one of our biggest trade partners. ugh.....
GO BEAVS!!! Civil War is on!
3:45pm tomorrow is the time! FSN (channel 30 up here) is the place! Be there or be nowhere!!
Taking bribes from Sadamm. The sweet smell of cash
Do we need any more proof that Sadaam paid off people, especially the French? This Frenchie claims to have regretted taking the money, but he must not have regretted it that much, as it was used to remodel his vacation home. Nice....real nice.
Muslims kill Muslims
Homicide bombers kill dozens inside two mosques today in Iraq. Here are regular people just trying to pray and do their thing, and their fellow Muslims come in a kill them. For what??!!
Americans need to wake up. If they will kill their own kind, obviously they will kill us without blinking an eye.

Thank you JAWA Report
I found this little gem today on the JAWA Report blog. I think it speaks for itself. I dedicate this to all those rabid anti-warmongers. Enjoy!
Thank you Mr. bin Laden
Oh Osama...Thank you. Thank you for coming along and showing us the errors of our ways.

Christians executed in N.Korea
Follow-up on Oregon Catholic Bankruptcy Case
The Oregon Archdiocese has offered $42Million to settle more than 100 sex abuse cases. Of course this isn't enough for them. ugh... Honestly, I'm sick of the Catholic bashing.
More Deep Thoughts from Bill Clinton
Man, this guy just won't go away.... Esquire magazine has named him 'Most Influential Man in the World'. God help us!
