Jul. 22nd, 2008 12:24 pm-- An Outrageous Attempt by the Bush Administration to Undermine Women's Rights, by Sen. Hillary Clinton -- Good for her. I wish I could say I'm surprised they're trying to pull this shit, but after eight years I'm really not.
The snide comments about Obama not saying anything yet bug the hell out of me, though. Dude, he's in a war zone right now. With his political leanings, I highly doubt he's for it, and if he comes out before he comes back and condemns it people will jump on his back immediately to tear him to shreds for not focusing on being in a freakin' war zone. He needs to make a statement eventually, yes, but come ON.
-- The New York Times has rejected an essay that Sen. John McCain wrote defending his Iraq war policy. -- Which ... I mean, I don't like the guy, but I seriously don't think this one is news. Your editor sent your submission back with things s/he wants changed? Welcome to writing! On the other hand, I did kinda giggle a little with the "Let me give you a suggestion based on what Obama wrote ..." bit, because all I can picture is McCain grumbling and kicking his desk at that.
-- Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assaulting his mother and sister, police and British media said. -- Wait, what?
-- The post on Not Always right is titled "It Happens More Often Than You'd Think" (although, no, actually I believe it happens a lot):
(I just started working at a computer store, so my trainer has a phone call on speaker so I can listen in.)
Lady: “You sold me a faulty piece of s*** laptop!”
Trainer: “What seems to be the problem, ma’am?”
Lady: “The f***ing thing won’t open!”
Trainer: “Have you tried turning the laptop around, and opening it from the other side?”
Lady: “Oh.” *click*

-- 7 People Who Cheated Death (Then Kicked It In The Balls)
-- The 9 Manliest Names In The World
-- The 5 Most Kick-Ass Apocalyptic Prophecies
-- 6 Questions The Last Harry Potter Book Had Better F#@king Answer -- Which is obviously an old article, but is still pretty funny. Particularly the part about Harry's morning-after. HEE.

Per Brooke Hogan (daughter of Hulk Hogan; now starring in Brooke Knows Best about her, her new bachelorette digs, and her stupid music career), when asked by a prospective roommate about who she's voting for (presumably asked while Clinton was still in the race):
You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it's kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I'm so moody all the time, I know I couldn't be able to run a country, 'cause I'd be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?
o.O
*headdesk*
