Hey, 1710…..

Annette | May 15, 2006

You get all rained out these past couple of days? I thought I might have seen you floating down the river, but then I realized you’d be the one sending the river on its way, so I felt better.
Actually, it’s not funny, and I’m watching closely, concerned. But, you’re 1710, and you’ll [...]

What it was worth ………

Annette | May 14, 2006

My mother didn’t have an easy life, in spite of her incredible beauty, but she did the best she could.
We never talked about it, because it would have caused her even more pain. She thought I couldn’t see it, but, of course, everyone could see what was happening, and that, for me, made [...]

Lewis Black gets it right (at least for now)………..

Annette | May 13, 2006

Here’s comic Lewis Black at the Gotham Comedy Club’s 10th anniversary:
“For those of you who are Democrats and those of you who are Republicans, in 2008, please, don’t do anything!
“Don’t nominate people!
“Don’t have conventions! “And don’t waste our fucking time!
“I don’t want to hear Hillary Clinton … If you’re for Hillary, [...]

The Winner Of The Friday Fuckface Picture Contest!

Annette | May 12, 2006

Yes, folks, just because the murderous mutant douchebag has gone into the twenties in terms of job approval – and those of you who think he’s doing a good job are also mutant douchebags – doesn’t mean that he gets a break on anything.
The little prick deserves to be drawn and quartered slowly, but only [...]

What a start!

Annette | May 10, 2006

If today was the beginning of the next half of my life – that’s pretty much how I see it, anyway – it was the most amazing, spectacular, rich, surprising, rewarding, kind, smart, funny, loving, and wonderful day.
Things happened all around the world, each and every one of them wending its way into my life [...]

For half my life ………….

Annette | May 9, 2006

I’ve been a member of the Virginia Bar, along with some others. But, this day, half my life ago, was graduation day from law school – getting my J.D. a week after learning that I’d passed the bar exam taken three months earlier.
It was the best day my old man ever had. [...]

Will someone PLEASE just put Fuckface out of OUR misery?

Annette | May 7, 2006

It’s hard to believe that this misconception of a human being could possibly continue to say and do dumber and more dangerous things, and yet, reading the article I am about to post below, I am reminded that this is the man who has caused more death and destruction, devastation, sorrow, heartbreak, tragedy for generations [...]

Would it have killed you to douche, Barb? Would it?

Annette | May 5, 2006

I never got the sense that personal feminine hygiene was a big deal to you, on those rare occasions when I was accidentally confronted with your drag queen visage. You always had the air of someone who hadn’t quite perfected the whore’s bath, but, that was all right, because you were so overall unappealing, [...]

He’s not just wrong, he’s stupid, too…….

Annette | May 5, 2006

Yet again, the Assmonkey In The Oval Office demonstrates how unbelievably uninformed and ignorant he is, proving that Yale and Harvard will issue degrees to legacies, no matter how brainded, provided the checks clear.
“America is a nation of prayer. It’s impossible to tell the story of our nation without telling the story of people who [...]

For the lost souls out there,

Annette | May 2, 2006

the ones who are angry all the time, but don’t know why.
The lost souls.
“The greatest poverty is not to live
In a physical world, to feel that one’s desire
Is too difficult to tell from despair.”
Wallace Stevens, “Esthetique du Mal”

Twatzilla couldn’t have said it better.

The Third Anniverary is Leather, perfect for liars

Annette | May 1, 2006

Bet you didn’t know that. Yep, it’s true, because I have this book – who knows why? – that’s filled with wedding and anniversary ettiquette, and I looked it up.
First is paper. Probably for all those thank-you notes the bride gets stuck writing for the wedding gifts.
Second is cotton. That’s got to [...]
