Crabby Blogging Lady

Saw this at Vulcan’s Hammer. TOOOOO good to pass up.

This is why California is such a mess…

Yes, now you know what my neighbors are like.

Poor Vulky! I empathize; yes I really do.

This video (as if we don’t have enough proof around us), is concrete evidence of the success of the public education system and of celebrities and TV. Doubt no more, people!

Well well! According to Margie and Edna, today is Global Forgiveness Day! I’m no party-pooper– I’d just love to join in and party. So in commemoration of Global Forgiveness Day, I’d like to say: I forgive you, World! Even though you do the stupidest things on a constant basis without any regard for posterity! You stupid world! Gah!

I’m glad I got that off my chest. Yes, I do feel better now. It’s a beautiful thing to forgive your globe.

So where’s the champagne?

Amazing, the evil hypocrisy of human beings. Just amazing.

I find it very odd that every time a famous preacher or Conservative dies, liberals throw parties, unabashedly. Remember when Reverend Jerry Falwell died, how liberals came out of their holes to cackle, huzzah, and throw confetti? What did Falwell ever do to them??? He was a minister, hello?! The worst he did was preach at the lazy scums to quit their immoral living. And remember when Laura Ingraham got breast cancer? I never heard such lascivious hatred: liberals breathed fumes of deathful wishes her way. Wow.

So Ted Kennedy died. GOD FORBID if a Conservative should breathe out “Finally!”  or mention the verboten word “Kopechne.” The liberals just might raid our homes with their nooses, calling for the lynch mobs to rid the world of such “hate.” Even if someone dare say that the Kopechne family can now rest, the thought police come out in full force with “You can’t rejoice in his death!”

Well, why not? Liberals applaud when a baby is aborted, why can’t we applaud when an evil, wife-cheating, drunken scumbag kicks the bucket? So what if he was a senator? Why does he somehow get more adoration and his evil behavior is magically excused? Who do you think he was, Michael Jackson?

You know– I don’t think I’m being mean or anything. I’m not really HAPPY that the guy is dead. But he was old, he was sick, he wasn’t going to live forever… everybody dies. And face it– he was a real jerk. Worse of all, I don’t think he repented of his sins to be saved by Christ… that’s horrid. But don’t you liberals come around and accuse me of “rejoicing” in his death or being malicious in anyway because 1.) I’m not; and 2.) you hypocrites have no qualms rejoicing in the deaths and illnesses of people YOU hate.

And it’s still pretty awesome– Death, that great equalizer.

Warning: Get prepared for a crabby rant of nuclear-bomb proportions.

I have determined that watching shows like The Today Show and The View reduce one’s IQ by 20%. This percentage drop may be even more severe, based on what drivel is being discussed. For example, if the discussion revolves around Viagara-laden ice cream. Or, urinating (“peeing,” according to these be-wigged overaged schoolgirls) in the shower. Or, getting “bikini-ready”– one of the most important and news-worthy topics EVAH.

I was in the dentist’s waiting room. AGAIN. Same daughter, getting her teeth cleaned this time. It’s a good thing she wasn’t with me in the waiting room. I’d have hated to see her afflicted with the Stupid Woman Syndrome that was circulating there. That’s what our culture has developed for the modern day woman, the Stupid Woman Syndrome. It’s the modern-day plague that reduces women to stupidized, sexualized hunks of flesh for the enjoyment of men. Well, NOT MY GIRLS! Their lives are not going to be reduced to sex and bikinis, and to ponder weighty dilemmas such as how “peeing” in the shower is so gooood for your home’s plumbing system. Gawd!

So. In the waiting room. They have TVs in there. Have you noticed? They have TVs EVERYWHERE. I guess we just aren’t being brainwashed enough, people, with *only* our 7, 8 TVs in our homes. We must now have them in our shopping malls, supermarkets, and doctors’ offices. Oh the joy.

So the stupid Today Show was on. There was Hoda and Kathie Lee blabbing on and on in their overgrown Valley Girl accents about Viagara ice cream.

Real informative stuff.

And then after the highly intellectual commercial break (about how I am missing out on all of life’s pleasures by not buying such-and-such), they came back with a segment on making your body bikini-ready, and talking to “Lola” to see how SHE did it. Lola boasted that her “butt” no longer jiggles. And those dignified Today Show ladies had Lola stand up, so they could smack her “butt” to “prove it” scientifically.

And what’s worse, here’s Kathie Lee– I remember her from the respectable days of Christian gospel music and Name That Tune– what has happened to her?! Well, there she was in a red low-cut tank top– this woman in her 60s– dressed like a street girl from Times Square. Who does she think she is, Tammy Faye Baker?! The only thing worse than seeing a lady’s exposed cleavage is seeing a lady’s exposed WRINKLY cleavage. Good gravy… watching her was painful.

I could bear the idiotic drivel no longer, and turned away to watch the fish in the fish tank (why do dentists always have fish in their waiting rooms, I wonder?). I caught a glimpse of the four other ladies in the room with me. Their faces were GLUED to that TV screen, ready to take orders from that talking box. And when the commercials came on again for Skechers Shape ups and other stuff, the ladies turned away from the Boob Tube and started talking to each other in the same INSANE overgrown Valley Girl accents! OH my GaWd!

What ever happened to respect? What ever happened to that Up With Women movement in the 70s and 80s, where a woman was supposed to be judged by the content of her character and her intellect, and not the content of her bikini?? It is SO ironic– that “Hate-Men-I-Am-Woman-Hear-Me-Roar” Movement brought on by angry, ugly liberal women has reached fruition, and it’s nothing like they said it would be!

Those lying liberals told us that we “traditional” women (moral, godly, chaste housewives and mothers) were being stifled, were being denied education, and were not breaking that glass ceiling. So where are we after 30 years? We’ve got the ditzy, sarcastic, filthy-mouthed, sexualized, under-clothed, uncouth woman. Sure doesn’t seem like women are better off. Sure seems to me that MEN are better off. I think the condition of women is worse than before Betty Friedan started her whining. At least when woman was “enslaved” as a housewife and mother, she had some respect and honor. Today, women are either HOT or NOT. And that’s supposed to be our liberation?!?

How about valuing women simply because woman AS a woman is intrinsically valuable– for her worth before God, her intelligence, her outstanding skills, her innate talents for management, organization, tenderness, and compassion? Why is the measurement of a woman’s value still the measurement of her bust, waist, and hips, and about how dirrrty she can be?

The liberals’ social experiment with the woman’s role in modern culture is a failure. Woman hasn’t been liberated at all; she’s further enslaved. And what’s worse, she’s been trained like a dog to love her enslavement.

Me included. Why?

Because I still LIVE in this crappy state. I must be insane. New York State is the WORST state in the entire nation. We are governed like Nigeria, the people live like Iranians, law enforcement is run like Russia, and the politicians have French tastes.

This news story from the New York Post came to my attention this morning:

POLL: NEW YORKERS SICK OF ‘WORST IN THE NATION’ LAWMAKERS

ALBANY – New Yorkers have become so disgusted with their “worst in the nation” state Legislature they’re willing to dump their local lawmakers to fix it, according to a new poll out this morning.

Bah! Don’t you believe it. New Yorkers are INSANE. We tolerate ANYTHING except a bad season for the Yankees (then, there are riots). The politicians have got it good here– they have created a machine that perpetuates their tenure, no matter who votes how often.

The story goes on to say how NYers are angry that their legislature is “dysfunctional,” how the lawmakers never get along, they can’t agree to anything except raising taxes (which they do exceptionally well, year after year, by the way). Yadda yadda yadda. These suits have been in their padded Albany offices for DECADES people. They ain’t budging.

And ya know what? New Yorkers STILL haven’t caught on. It DOESN’T MATTER whether the politicians get along, whether they bicker all day from both sides of the aisle. It doesn’t matter! What matters is WHAT they are agreeing on– namely, our TAX SLAVERY and excessive regulation. They ALWAYS find a way to “reach across the aisle” to agree on that. THAT, my dear friends, is the real problem.

Here’s some food for thought– I was discussing property taxes with a friend who lives in Virginia. Some of the residents down there are up in arms– raging mad– that property taxes are going to rise for their area! They are outraged–shocked– that their taxes will now increase to be $1.14 per $1,000 assessed value!

HELLO?! Guess how much we pay, here in Upstate New York, in one of the poorest areas of the nation?

$27 per $1,000 assessed valuation.

And THAT’S just property tax, people. Sales tax is almost 10%. Taxes on the telephones, energy, natural gas, etc etc… my county rates as #14 as the worst place to live in ALL the counties of the nation, when you compare income to taxation. It’s like Sweden up here, people, just without the clean streets and free marijuana. I estimate that nearly 60% of our income goes toward taxes (and fees and surcharges, and all those other fancy euphemisms for taxes).

See why we are insane?? We stay here! Why do we stay here??????????

P.S. Cuz we have no money left over to be able to afford a move! That’s why!

>>> Passwords– WHY don’t they tell us what characters are acceptable or not BEFORE we spend 20 minutes coming up with a complex one?! WHY don’t they just START OUT telling us they will not accept passwords with brackets, special symbols, etc. And WHY don’t banks and credit card companies accept the more complex passwords?? WHY do these sites ONLY accept basic letters and numbers? Are they just ASKING for our accounts to be hacked?! Hello?! Even my account at MyBlogLog has better security than that of my bank… idjits!

>>>> WHY is everyone using the word “flavors” to describe options or versions? Such as, “The Linux operating system comes in various flavors,” or “What flavor of the Star Wars movies do you like best?” FLAVORS is for ice cream and lollipops and cat food and dog supplies! The use of the word “flavor” for options, versions, and preferences is such a fad. Grow up! The jerk who first used the word in the wrong way is probably gloating with glee after seeing everyone (except me, of course) use it so improperly.

>>> WHY are little girls, historically, dressed so immodestly? I was looking at old photos from the 1920s and 1930s… and had to wonder about the styles of clothes they made for little girls. Such miniscule dresses! Did these things really serve any practical purpose at all, or was it just a conditioned precursor to the debauched, filthy fashion we see today? It’s bad enough that grown women will dress in such tiny clothing… it’s criminal that parents actually dress their vulnerable little girls in them, ew!!! :-p

?????

OK, so I’m back to my crabby self, in full force with a nasty tide of rants on the way. I have a whole bunch of crabby posts to write, be prepared…..
