My Beautiful Mommy

Okay, I'm squicked. This is a new children's book that attempts to explain to young kids why Mommy seems to be sick and has bandages after her trip to the doctor's for a breast lift and tummy tuck, a package deal known as "the mommy makeover." (via Boing Boing)

Hilary was for elitism before she was agin' it.

This has to be one of the few times in U.S. political history when a multi-millionaire has accused a much less wealthy fellow public servant, a person of the same party and views who made much less lucrative career choices, of "elitism"!

You know what really annoys me about this issue? I want an elite wonk in the White House. Just like, I want an elite physician, not a mundane one; I want an elite CPA, not a run-of-the-mill accountant. We don't go to sports events to watch ordinary guys, but elite athletes. I've had enough of "the guy I'd want to drink beer with."

Real People Don't Have Time for Social Media

According to this, I'm almost a "content provider."

Kawaii! Linux Distro Tans!

So cute!

Almost makes me want to switch to Mandriva or Arch.

Oh, it's great for them. As the saying goes, bad publicity is better than no publicity - at this point, they've got national coverage without spending a dime on it. Outrage sells.

Now, I need to go wash out the sour taste the book leaves in my mouth.
