Bristol Palin on 'Dancing with the Stars' angers Wisconsin man Steven Cowan, takes gun to television

[Steven J. Cowan] was arrested after he allegedly became so angry watching Bristol Palin on "Dancing with the Stars"that he fired off his shotgun at his television, leading to a 15-hour standoff with state police.

According to the criminal complaint, posted by The Smoking Gun, Cowan and his wife, Janice, were watching the show Monday evening when Cowan jumped and swore as the former vice-presidential candidate's daughter shimmied across the stage.

He said something to the effect of "the ----ing politics."

The complaint added, "Steven was upset that a political figure's daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think she was a good dancer."

I can understand that.

Absolutely No - As in Zero - Cases of Abuse Reported in Lesbian Families

I wonder what percentage of fundie families report abuse?

I've been spending more time on FB recently, mostly because I can share pictures there very easily and I am addicted to Bejeweled Blitz, and also it doesn't take much time to poop out a short brain fart. But, I have to say - a lot of the New and Improved Facebook Features are things that I've been using on LJ for years, such as custom friends groups and associated security. On LJ, I can also figure out who added/deleted me with the use of a handy-dandy client. I wonder when FB is going to debut that radical new concept.

SO YOU GUISE

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPSLOCK DAY

I HAD NO IDEA THAT CAPSLOCK MERITED ITS OWN DAY! TODAY IS TRULY A MOMENTOUS OCCASION!

Had the following email exchange with my husband.

Me:

French protesters march in Paris as lawmakers vote

I can’t believe the French are re-enacting Les Miserables over having to retire two years later.

His response:

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men!
It is the music of a people who will not tolerate working another two years!

Me: ROFL

I want some ice cream and I don't have any.

*sniffle*

I've been following the story about the Rutgers student who committed suicide after his roommate streamed video of him having sex with another male to the Internet. It makes me very sad and angry, because I simply cannot fathom what would possess someone to do such a thing. Okay, maybe you don't like your roommate, but 1. that does not excuse anything 2. you are not alone in that experience 3. you can get a new roommate if you are really that offended by his sexual preference. What infuriates me is the possibility that the two students who recorded the encounter thought that perhaps what they were doing was funny.

Fucking barrel of laughs, you two. Congratulations, you killed someone.

Biscuit: Want to go outside.

Outside.

Outside right now.

Please let me outside.

*paws on back door*

Outside outside outside.

Outsiiiiiide.

Didn't you hear me?

OUTSIDE.

OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE.

Me: Fine.

*harnesses Biscuit and puts her out in the garden*

Biscuit: OHSHIT SCHOOL BUS GARBAGE TRUCK LAWN MOWER WANT TO GO INSIIIIIIIIIIDE

Me: *lets cat back in*

Biscuit: Outside.

Oh, Giants.

Oh, Rutgers.

You both are stinky davis.

It's going to be a long season.

Hey news media,

You know what I don't give a crap about?

Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

Kthxbye.

I write like
Ursula K. Le Guin

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Analysis performed on "Wait in Vain."

And now, starring in her VERY FIRST internet video, here's Biscuit! She just loves cucumbers.

This is very cute.

Seventh graders describe scientists before and after a visit to Fermilab.

I don't know what crawled up Biscuit's butt today, but she's been off the wall. She's been doing the Kitty Dance, where she arches her back, puts back her ears, stiffens the base of her tail, and bounces into the room on four paws or two. She wanted to play so badly that she whined at me for several minutes, and then she attacked my leg.

Maybe it's because she didn't get to go outside today because of the rain. We put her out on her leash (yes, we leash the cat; we live on a busy corner) when we're out in the garden, and she just loooooves to watch the birdies.

TV and toys set to relaunch 'Voltron'

Starting next year, Nicktoons will air 26 half-hour episodes of "Voltron Force," about five space explorers who pilot robotic lions that combine to form Voltron, an invincible guardian sworn to defend the Universe.

Series will remain faithful to the old show, while introducing new recruits to fight alongside the original characters.

Could be interesting and kinda fun if the original characters are still involved. But, it could just as easily turn out to be "Speed Racer: The Next Generation" or whatever it's called, which sucks.

Bodily Fluid Cleanups Inspire "Dirty Dancing" Ban

Another local high school is trying to ban “dirty dancing” at proms. Why? There seems to be problem with a dance in which students cluster in tight groups, preventing adults from seeing what’s going on in the middle.

So what’s going on in the middle?

"The custodial staff were... cleaning bodily fluids off the floor," Susan Nolen, copresident of the Parent Teacher Group and mother of two students at Penncrest High School told the Inquirer.

1. That's just nasty.

2. This kind of thing definitely didn't happen at my high school!

Hospital nun rebuked for allowing abortion

A nun and administrator at a Catholic hospital in Phoenix has been reassigned and rebuked by the local bishop for agreeing that a severely ill woman needed an abortion to survive.

Sister Margaret McBride was on an ethics committee that included doctors that consulted with a young woman who was 11 weeks pregnant late last year, The Arizona Republic newspaper reported on its website Saturday. The woman was suffering from a life-threatening condition that likely would have caused her death if she hadn't had the abortion at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.

First: Sister Margaret was immensely brave to buck the Church and agree that a living mother and a terminated pregnancy is better than a dead mother and a dead baby.

Second: Fuck the Church for not really honoring the whole "sanctity of life" concept.

Woody Allen comes out in support of Roman Polanski

Well, of course he did.

I saw Woody Allen and Soon-Yi at Cartier once, about the time they announced their engagement. He gave me the creeps.

Popular baby names of 2009

Call it the “Twilight” effect: Names from Stephenie Meyer’s series of vampire novels and their hit film spin-offs sank their teeth into the list of most popular baby names this year, with Jacob and Isabella (the long form of Bella, Meyer’s heroine) topping the respective lists for boys and girls, and Cullen rising faster than any other boy’s name.

Last night, I made a salad for dinner, with red lettuce, peppers and cucumbers. I also pan-fried a little chicken to put on top. There were a few stray morsels of cooked chicken remaining, so I offered one to Biscuit. The chicken was not marinated or seasoned besides a little salt.

Biscuit: *sniffs*

Me: Look, kitty! Chicken!

Biscuit: I don't want this.

Me: What is wrong with you? Cats love chicken!

Biscuit: *does the fastidious paw-shake of disgust* Yuck. What I'd really like is some of that cucumber you're peeling.

Me: You are the strangest cat I've ever had. Most cats can't wait to have a nice piece of chicken or steak. You want peppers and cucumbers and string beans. *offers Biscuit a thin strip of skinless peeled cuke*

Biscuit: *CHOMP* *SNARF* I'm a vegetarian cat.
