I thought maybe after your morning polar bear hunt, between the prayer group and the NRA meetings, if you're not busy procreating, you might have time for a little jellied moose nose. It seems this may be the new National Agenda.
Is it horrible for me to hope that the glass ceiling (The one with the eighteen million cracks) holds for another 61 days?

Out-T.
Please tell me you made up that nose recipe. I feel some morning sickness coming on, and I'm not even pregnant. But it's kinda like a car wreck - I just can't stop staring at the instructions.
Jelly? Really?
Hmm... but where do you find a kettle big enough to hold the whole jawbone of a moose? Ah well, not likely I'll have need of this recipe. Not many moose in Egypt... camels now.. hmmm?...(kidding.. blech!)
I'm praying (perhaps a little sacrifice might be in order?) that ceiling holds too. (Not kidding, also blech!)
It is a real recipe! The part about plucking the nose hairs (like a duck, FYI, Yea, because I do that a lot) makes my eyes water, but then so does ANWR oil drilling, overturning Roe V wade, book banning, creationism, opposition to immigration reform, a ban on same sex marriage and overturning those pesky gun control laws...Moose nose anyone?? Anyone?
you always end with these lines that make me wrinkle my brow {no botox. yet.} and re-read.
because i am not as smart as you. and your wit? well. i'd hate to be standing next to you at a cocktail party if you didn't like me. eek.
i always tell you you're funny. and you know that post i absolutely adored about stan the man and whispering in little girls' ears...
but you're also crazy smart. if i haven't told you...
I imagine the job description went something like this:
Must be female
Must be prettier than me but not as pretty as Cindy.
Must be younger than me.
Must have a minimum of 2 years of experience in some kind of government job.
Must be able to say "We'll stay in Iraq a hundred years if necessary" with a straight face and sincere tone.
Must believe in the economic theory, "them that has, gets"
I'm sure there were more requirements, but actually writing them might make me a little ill. ohj
YOU should be running for president!
T-am considering moving to Switzerland. Or Canada. You know. Because it's not as far. I'd be game for a roommate. Or sevaral thousand. You know. Because that's just a smidgen of how many people will leave the country if "you know what" happens.
Interested?
We can discuss our future home's decor anon.
with love from Pittsburgh...
I'm a fan of hers! I love a sharp wit and cutting remark. Am I allowed to say that is why I always love to read you?
Karey- I think that is the first time anyone has used the S. word without attaching Ass to it when describing me. I should make a T-shirt to commemorate the event: "Karey says I'm S.(No Ass)". Have I mentioned that I adore you?
OHJ- Did that outfit really cost 300k? Because if it did? Well, let us just say I could be cute too!
Bee- The constitution precludes my candidacy. I am far too young for the job. (If you believe that, maybe I should run).
L- I am not joking when I say I have considered your plan (either way this turns out). However, Canada is fricking cold and I am afraid they eat moose.
SA- Allowed?? No ma’am you are encouraged!
In all honesty I must tell you all, I feel that perhaps I should surrender an ovary as repayment to Margaret Sanger, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Betty Freidan, and Gloria Steinem, along with all of the other women before me that sacrificed, and marched and were imprisoned for the rights that I too often take for granted.
I am embarrassed to say that when I heard of SP’s nomination I was among the masses of women questioning her abilities for reasons that were purely personal.
I have since decided that while I do not agree with her politics it is my obligation to support to the end, her right to be (in my opinion) wrong.
I will now sheepishly step off my soapbox with the solemn promise to TRY to keep my opinions to myself for the next two months. If you smell smoke do not worry. It is just me burning my bra here at the New Digs...
