Burying My Youth

Sorry for my sudden disappearance, folks.

The last of my dear grandmother Jane's surviving siblings, Great Uncle Bob, was buried with full military honors in our private family cemetary alongside our Revolutionary ancestors in Sleepy Southern Hometown on my actual fortieth birthday.

I was surrounded by those I most dearly love, all wearing black, standing around sobbing on a crisp early fall day, the equal of which I cannot recall. Then it was off to the wake to laugh, reminisce, and eat the FINEST apple cream UNbirthday cake that has ever passed my lips. And the very best part?

Not a soul focused on me and I was able to make peace with my passage to middle age in public privacy.

Class timing, Uncle Bob.

Kinky Linky: NUDISTS Dig Jane's Show

While scanning the stat dump, I find the juiciest tidbits. This one wins the week's coolest link, balls out.

He calls himself "NAKED STUDENT" and, apparently, while some  guys are nakedly Conservative, his kink is just plain Naked Conservatism.

Jane is all about younger men now that I am days away from completing my fortieth birthday month, the actual date, of course, a closely guarded secret.

But younger men who let their junk swing free while they dazzle me with Conservative dogma? Now that is a new spin on an old meme.

She Got Game: Sarah Palin puts the full court press to the Pasty White Middle Class Posuer

Joe Biden was so off his game because he underestimated his opponent. Plain and simple. After all, he is the "Distinguished Gentleman" from a string of working class zip codes but the glances he kept exchanging with Gwen Ifill made it look as if he expected her to get her broad ass up and help him beat back this little mongrel upstart.

At one point he actually reached to his collar after Sarah zinged him, then he caught himself in the old fake "must-scratch-my-neck" move. When I heard him utter the word "Bosniacs", I knew she had him by the jock.

Advantage, Sarah.

But what real, average, American patriot didn't lay those odds? Because not only do we have the chick on the ticket, we just stole the championship clincher of "Candidate I'd Most Like To Buy A Beer" from the Democrat trophy cabinet.

Hunky Husband glanced over at me at one point and, I promise you, he whispered, "You know I love to watch me some Georgia cheeleaders, but I think I have my first political chub on."

Advantage, Jane.

Bean Town Redux

We have been snubbed by our Representatives.

My COTILLION sister, Beth @ She Who Will Be Obeyed suggested that we begin a virtual protest. And since I can't wedge a pitchfork into a #10 envelope, a history book shows the way.

The Senate has spoken. "Let them eat cake", they said.

Well I say, let them drink tea.

The party starts here.

Senators Who Voted NO on the "No Bankers Left Behind" Bill

Senator DeMint is the good Senator from South Carolina. {The other one is a sock puppet (in so many, many ways) who just needs to join Barney Frank on the ...um....other side of the ailse. Lindsey Graham is as gay as Strom Thurmond was white.}

My COTILLION sisters are mumbling about sending tea bags to Washington... will keep you posted...
