Shut up, *insert name here*

I would like to tell the following to "shut up."

Shut up, Geraldine Ferarro!
Shut up, Hilary Clinton!
Shut up, John Gibson!
Shut up, Facebook application invitations!
Shut up, American Idol!
Shut up, Lou Dobbs!
You too, Wolf Blitzer! Because you're boring.
For the love of God, Shut up, Bill O'Reilly!
Shut up, Ohio!

*Insert Anti-Bill O'Reilly remark here*

When one moves to Virginia from, oh...I don't know, SOUTH FLORIDA, it's quite the reality check to hear people talk about Fox News as the best source of news without a hint of irony.

That is all.

I would like to propose a toast...

PBS aired the revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical Company last night starring Raúl Esparza. And I watched it and loved it and fell more in love with Raúl Esparza than I already was (If you never listened to tick, tick...BOOM! do yourself a favor and listen to it now).

And God Bless PBS. No, really. PBS is treated like the red-headed stepchild of television stations and it's not okay. PBS gives people the opportunity to watch a Broadway show in its whole. People who normally wouldn't be able to see a Broadway show, or live in freakin' central Virginia where shows hardly ever stop on tours because they won't have an audience there like they would in larger cities.

Although, Mamma Mia was in town last month. But seriously? Mamma Mia? I mean, I would have seen it if the tickets were free but...Abba? A musical based on Abba songs? It apparently works, but Les Misérables it is not.

Anyway, I digress...

Thank you PBS. You are so much more than anyone knows. You are heroic.

Letters to people who are running or were running for president

John McCain,

We disagree on many things. But for some strange reason I actually do like you. Oh, don't get me wrong, I think you're nuts and will never vote for you, yet...I find your craziness to be oddly endearing.

But you are very old.

Although, even if you were young I still wouldn't vote for you.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm not age-discriminating.

Laura



Hillary Clinton,

Quit telling people that you promised yourself you weren't going to cry. Everyone knows you lost the ability to cry years ago. It's not making you more appealing, it just makes you look like a tool.

Which you are.

So stop it.

-A concerned feminist

P.S. Bill's voting Obama


Mitt Romney,

You have stupid hair.

Laura


John Edwards,

You have lovely hair. I'm just concerned that you focus too much time on it. I mean, technically now you can, but still...bad hair days will happen. Just embrace them and move on.

Laura


Mike Gravel,

You. Are. Gangsta.

Crazy old man.

Much love. Peace.

L-Boogie

Mike Huckabee,

Really? Really? Quit being a tool. That's Hillary's job.

Laura


My Dearest Barack,

Don't disappoint me. You can totally beat McCain. I mean...HE'S SO OLD!

Laura


John McCain,

Seriously, it has nothing to do with your age.

-L


Ron Paul,

I saw some of your supporters standing on the side of the road the other day. They looked like they hadn't showered for days and when asked what they were going to do later they shrugged their shoulders and mumbled something about going to White Castle. Weird.

Laura



Rudy Giuliani,

[letter not shown do to high levels of profanity and use of the term "asshat"]

R-A-N-D-O-M

So, here's another one of my sorry-ass attempts to write a blog. Maybe I'll actually try to keep this one updated. Or not. I don't know. I'm a flake.

Yeah...

This blog will mostly be about all the random stuff that just pops into my head. And if you know me at all, you know how painful of an experience it can be to hear about the random things that I come up with. It's pretty ridiculous.

Or fun. If you're me.

If you want a little more consistency, try reading my politcal blog that I never update.

Good times.
