Cougar

 
Cougar—a woman, 40 years of age or older, who pursues younger men, typically more than eight years her junior. The origin of the word is debated; however, it is thought to have first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com.
I’m just not liking the word.  I’m not feeling it at all.  It sounds [...]

Welcome to the Facebook Feud

Yahoo is reporting that a woman has killed another woman which was the culmination of a feud started on Facebook over a love interest – who just happened to be in jail.
I don’t make this stuff up.

Who Ya Gonna Call?

I’d like to know more about this…
But there is no phone number, web site or contact information.
Your Florida State Park system at work once again.

US Army and DADT

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.  Is this an 1D10Tic policy or what?
It’s amazing to me that in this day and age we are arguing whether or not gays/lesbians/bisexuals/transexuals (GLBT) should be allowed to serve in the military.
There should be no question whatsoever.
In hindsight, integrating the military in 1948 was a good thing and helped in the [...]

Follow-up to Shirley Sherrod

If you know me, you’ll know that I am always talking griping bitching about balanced reporting.  And quite frankly, I jumped the gun writing about Shirley Sherrod. 
The whole video shows a tale about redemption.  And that redemption was Ms. Sherrod’s own journey.  
You can see it and read about it for yourself on whichever [...]

Racism in Georgia

And not the Jim Crow of the South.  Faux News is reporting that the Agriculture Department’s Georgia director of Rural Development, Shirly Sherrod, telling an NAACP audience about how she failed to help a white farmer because he was acting superior.
Racism is not funny in any way shape of form.  Losing a farm, whether you’re [...]

1D10T? Yes. Shakespeare? Not so much

Recently, former Governor of Alaska, former Vice-Presidential candidate, and hopeful leader of the Free World, Sarah Palin, explained her use of the word, refudiate.

According to the former U.S. vice-presidential candidate, her newly created word – ‘refudiate’ – is her contribution to the “living language.”
English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new [...]

Hester the Molester

Last week I stumbledupon the Smoking Gun’s report on Debra Beasley Lafave, a teacher, who at the age of 23 had sex with two teenagers and got no jail time.
Remember that?
And the outrage?  That if she was Donnie Lafave and took advantage of two young teenaged girls that there’d be a lot more jail [...]
