Nine Nibbles Before Noon
1. There’s just no pleasing some people. Take Paris Hilton, for example. No, I’m not talking about the infamous video. (She certainly seemed to enjoy that.) It’s her engagement ring. She’s sent it back. Why? Because it was — get this — too big.
2. Note to Nicole Kidman: never, ever date a man who is prettier than you!
3. What is it with grannies these days? Yesterday, we read about five anti-war grandmothers being arrested for trespassing at an Army recruiter’s office. Today, a grandma who was tasered after honking her horn at a police cruiser was sentenced to probation. Must be something in the Metamucil.
4. A cola that will burn 50-100 calories per 12-oz. serving? Now I can have a Coke and a smile.
5. This year’s prize for bad writing was awarded to a Microsoft analyst. (Check the ironic spelling — carburettor? — in the news story. Guess they must’ve used MS Word’s spell-checker, eh?)
6. Independent counsels… the new American Idols?
7. Now here’s a way to let Jane Fonda know what you think of her latest publicity stunt… er, “protest.”
8. Once again, I find myself wondering why do so many damned protestors protest in the nude?
9. Yummm…. is that chocolate you’re wearing, or am I just happy to see you?

The double-T spelling for “carburettor” is standard in Britain and Australia; your link to the Bulwer-Lytton story went to an Australian site.
As for those nude protestors, I think it’s a desperate attempt to get news, um, coverage; it certainly can’t be because it enhances their credibility, because it doesn’t. The average onlooker doesn’t think “Goodness, they’re naked, they must be serious”; she thinks, “Goodness, they’re naked,” and ignores other considerations. And if you spend as little time dressed as I do - um, can I come over? (Just kidding.)
Leftist loons indeed!
At times I’m criticized for being too soft on liberals and my fellow left-wing cohorts.
To balance out this site just a bit, take a look at what I’m dubbing “The Worst of the Left Wing”.
Someone needs to take that huge cow and her udders back…
