1.  When did Robert Downey Jr get hot?  I am so use to the drug addled Robert that I do not know what to think.  I have always thought it was tragic how fucked up he is.  He is funny and brilliant and well fucked up.  Hopefully he has his shit together for good.    New movie, a big one, Iron Man starts in May.  Some movie stills.

2.  A funny thing about my Median Child, the seven year old, is her love of pop tarts.  Not just her love but when she eats a pack, one has to be hot and one cold.  Kids are weird.

3.  Horrible and funniest comment I have read in quite a while.  From Frank G posting on the debate thread at Ace’s

2 Hillary actually looks relaxed and composed. Either she got some extra sleep, or ate an additional fetus this morning

4.   “Democrats have a much better grasp on the situation we face in Iraq”  Senator Hillary Clinton on the tube as we speak.  Second funniest thing I have heard today.

5.   I think Blizter just called Senator Clinton,  “Senator McCain.”  hehehe

6.   Oh my God!  Her laugh.  I just got a chill.  That was the most frightening sound I have heard since Howard Dean’s seizure.

7.  An observation:  Regardless of what the media says.  I just gotta give this one to Hillary.  She almost answered some questions.  She was of course wrong about those almost answers.

Fabulous…

“And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada—the rich counties—would say, ‘OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ‘cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.’ We could do that…’

Misunderstood statement?  Post Coital Brain Fart from his “personal assistant” who knows?  But this is just hysterical. 

In all honesty he goes on to say the other countries will not fall in line so it would damage us all etc.   Then goes back to this magical ability we have to lead by example and force them to fall in line or some such nonsense.  Either way it reads: Slow the economy to save the planet.

Clinton says she can control her husband:

“I think whatever he said which was certainly never intended to cause any kind of offense to anyone,” Clinton said, “if it did give offenses then I take responsibility and I’m sorry about that.”

“Can you control him?” asked McFadden.

“Oh of course,” Clinton replied.

That has to be the biggest fantasy I have ever heard come out of her mouth.  A bigger fantasy than her illustrius healthcare ideas.  Bitch, if you could control him this would be an entirely different election we are about to embark on.

Imagine how different the political climate in this nation would be right now if he had behaved himself in office.  Forget all the policy he fucked us over with, just think how much different the tone would be if he had just kept his cock in his pants.

Was it obama’s wife who said,

One of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values? Is he somebody that respects family? Is [he] a good and decent person? So our view was that, if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House. So, so we’ve adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first’ via HotAir

I am no Obama supporter, but that is political not personal.   If the comments were directed at Hillary, then bravo.  If not, they should have been.

Yay!  Let’s glorify how fantastic it is to be pregnant at 16!  woo woo.  Nickelodeon is off my list of kid channels.  The network that gave us Dora, Diego, Wonderpets, and Backyardigans is on the blocked list.  In what amounts to nothing less than shameful, they have decided to go ahead and air the final season of Jamie Lynn Spears’ Zoey 101. 

What the hell, right?  It was already in the can and ready to go and after last season’s success what is the harm in airing the show?  Well, I for one am disgusted.  I am anything but a prude, but I am sick and fucking tired of everyone making as though teenage pregnancy is no big deal.  I was twenty when I had my first child and it was traumatic and overwhelming.  The idea that this child is pregnant is tragic and yet predictable with the mother of hers and the sister.  Should she have to wear a scarlett A?  No, but she shouldn’t be plastered all over my kid’s favorite television network either.

I read they are going to do a special with Linda Ellerby about teenage pregnancy.  Well that is just peachy, considering there aren’t many teens watching Nick.   It is a bunch of 7-12 year olds.   Gee that idea makes me feel sooo much better.

I think The Superficial has it right:

If Nickelodeon is worried about kids thinking pregnancy is cool, right after Zoey they should air episodes of John & Kate Plus 8. I watched John & Kate once and literally got five vasectomies. I even paid the neighbor kid to come over to my house each morning and punch me in the nuts.

You know it could happen…

Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny.
If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

An old favorite…

I really wanted him to see this so I am posting it.  I received it from Kat via email.
