Ow, my back. *wince*

-- Shame on the mainstream media, when the women from The View are the ones asking the hard-hitting questions of John McCain. Yes, even Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whom I hate with a passion.

-- I can't contain my rage at the story that Governor Palin wanted rape victims to pay for their own rape kits, which is so appallingly offensive I can't even think of anything to say to that.

On the other hand, am I the only one who gets extremely uncomfortable whenever her decision to carry a Down's baby to term is used as evidence of her hypocrisy regarding a woman's right to choose? Granted, every pregnancy should be a woman's decision to continue or not, but ... a Down's baby? Really?

-- My back is still killing me. I need to go soak in the tub for a while. Ow.

This manager is my new friend.

Spotted on Not Always Right:

(A group of annoying teenagers had been removed from one of the screens in the cinema for being loud and causing a huge disturbance.)

Teenager: “I want a refund. I want to talk to a manager. This is unfair!”

Usher: “Well, you can talk to a manager, but they’ll tell you the same thing I’ve told you.” *calls manager over*

Manager: “What’s the problem here?”

Teenager: “We’ve been kicked out of the cinema because apparently someone said we were being noisy and disturbing the film.”

Manager: “Yes?”

Teenager: “Yeah, well, we think it’s unfair and we want a refund.”

Manager: “And why should we give you a refund?”

Teenager: “Well you know how it is… you come to the cinema to have a laugh and a chat with your mates–”

Manager: “No you don’t. You come to the cinema to watch a film. Get out.”

You guys ...

... I cannot stop loving on this, seriously.

I keep looking at that picture and smiling. I don't know if it's silly or not for a dress I don't even know to make me happy, but ... yes. It's been a crappy week. That makes me happy. Whatever.

I know I've been a wee bit lax ...

... but then again Christian is away for a while so it's just Olli and the gang and I keep forgetting.

Aw, Judith. This one's cute! He appears to flirt with everyone who comes near him, but STILL.
