Staten Island as a baby name?

Well, Ashley Simpson having a baby is not only news that is about ten-hours old, but it’s also news that shouldn’t be news. Still, Bronx as a new baby name? Is that a joke? What’s next, Queens? Staten Island? Are we then going to move to Long Island town names and possibly Jersey?

Also, not to make light of someone’s health problems, but I think AG Mukasey’s passing out at a speech had something to do with the fact that he was speaking to one of the craziest groups around. I can’t wait ’til these Federalists are back in Montana or wherever it is that they live.

Mothers

So I thought I would get a little dark on the blog here.  I was reading this blog, where the girl complains about her mom not being supportive, but instead “real.”  I wasn’t totally impressed with the blog, but it made me think about our mothers and – well, sounds like her mom has crossed over to the “oldness side.”  We should start a support group for women whose mothers “stop being supportive, and start getting real.”  Anyway, then I started to think will that happen to this poor girl?

Not totally relevant, my mother is currently freaking out about what wine to serve to my 25-year-old, non-boyfriend.  Very cute of her, but totally unnecessary.

This is too much

I should not be allowed to read things like this at work. It’s too much for me to handle.

Important topics of the day

First of all, this takes Nicaragua (or at least the capital) off the list of potential countries to go to in December. Not that we’re cowards, but let’s just stay away from big angry crowds.

Second, I can’t believe this is advertised as “jeans.” I mean, they’re basically rust-colored leggings that cost over $100! I dare you to find anyone who will buy them.

And finally, this just made my day.

I had a pretty delicious burrito for lunch and a good latte after, so I’m good to last through the end of the day.
