…. or Fun SChwung…. or Feng Schweing or whatever the heck that is.

YOU KNOW. The placement of stuff in a room to make everything “flow.” So your spine will tingle with Buddhists’s Delight when you walk into a room.

Oh wait, I looked it up. It’s Feng shui. OK OK. Got it.

Apparently, the Brits DON’T got it. Go to this photo and take a look. It’s OK, it’s not a bad photo. It’s a picture of Michelle Obama, PBO, and the Queen of England in a room. I’d post the photo here, but I’m afraid I’ll get sued for “copyright infringement” if I do. So you’ll have to click the link yourself and go see. I’ll wait for ya….

Whadaya think? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Er, uh, I mean– THAT’S TERRIBLE! HORRIBLE! Michelle has had some pretty weird fashion ‘dos, but this one takes the cake. I think everyone was perhaps more concerned about how to remove dark circles than plant placement, eh?

Those Brits– did they do that on purpose? It seems pretty obvious that such a gigantic plant would make the poor lady look like Medusa. You can read the little story here. It’s almost like they are snickering under their scones…..

Gee, part of me feels sorry for the guy, but most of me feels really disgusted.

Ed Schultz of MSNBC apologized for calling Laura Ingraham a “talk show radio slut” on the air.

That really is unconscionable. Really. Schultz apologized, but his apology still rings a little fake to me…

“On my radio show yesterday, I used vile and inappropriate language when talking about talk show host Laura Ingraham. I am deeply sorry, and I apologize. It was wrong, uncalled for and I recognize the severity of what I said. I apologize to you, Laura and ask for your forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances were. It doesn’t matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing. none of that matters. none of that matters. What matters is what I said was terribly vile…

Now why did he make that exception: “It doesn’t matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing”? No it doesn’t matter AT ALL. Why mention it? It doesn’t even matter if you, Mr. Schultz, REALLY think Ingraham IS a slut or not. She’s NOT. And you had no right to say such a thing, even if you “messed up” because you were ad libbing. Not at a party, not while shopping for hot tub covers, never. Slander is serious stuff.

Anyway, the guy lost his job. Which is sad. I mean, it’s sad for anyone to lose their job. But Schultz took it like a man. And it is definitely a signal to others that just because someone is a liberal and/or has a high-ranking job protected by a lot of rich mucky-mucks doesn’t mean you can go around slandering people’s character because you don’t like their opposing ideas.

TOO CUTE!!!!!

What a hilarious story at the New York CBS news: Mysterious Hole in Basking Ridge Yard Puzzles Experts, Officials. Suuuuuure it puzzles them.

According to the story, there’s an 18-inch deep, coffee table-sized crater in a woman’s front yard. She woke up the other morning to see the hole in her lawn. Her son thinks it’s something from space, but scientists have investigated and used metal detectors and found no traces of meteorites. Some think something may have fallen from a plane, but some remnant of the thing would still be evident (unlike the 9/11 planes that mysteriously vaporized into thin air while preserving paper documents and drivers’ licenses of the criminals, yeahhhh).

I think it is probably Superman. He hit the earth didn’t he? Well, maybe he just got up and walked away. Or maybe they FINALLY DID figure out a way to dig all the way from China! Hey, you never know! I mean, if evolution is supposed to be possible and the New York Lottery is supposed to be winnable, well then ANYTHING can happen!

So there ya go, another amazing sagacious solution from the Crabby Blogging Lady. And I even did it without an information technology degree. :D

Not that I was ever a big fan of the Kennedys, I am filled with sadness for poor Maria Shriver Schwartzaneggar. It’s bad enough having to marry a guy with such a weird last name, but now she has to endure the shame and embarrassment of yet another celebrity/politician who can’t control himself. In case you haven’t heard (but I’ll bet you have), Arnold has a 10-year old son with his housekeeper. Disgusting.

And I cannot believe Arnold confessed his sins a mere TWELVE HOURS before Maria had to appear on stage at that Oprah show! Is this some kind of joke?!

And the media is treating the whole thing with such a non-chalant attitude, calling the whole affair a “love child.” Love?! That’s love?!?! Committing adultery?! Destroying your wife’s heart?! Your legitimate children’s hearts? Irresponsibly fathering a child?!

Well, I give a little credit to Arnold. Rather than blaming his sin on “poor judgment” like so many others do, he stated:

“I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”

It’s just the same old story and it’s so, so, SO sad. It’s just a fact that no matter how gorgeous or not a woman is, no matter what kind of marvelous meals she makes or sexy costumes she buys or how supportive she is of her husband, some jerks are just going to be jerks. So sad, especially for the kids involved.

I wait for the city where righteousness dwells….

Boy am I grumpy today. I don’t know why!!! It’s like these invisible hands are squeezing my body, making me feel anxious and angry and hurt. Lord, I hate that feeling!!! I just wanna pop in my in ear headphones and crank up the audio and block out the world at large. Geez. I HATE feeling this way.

Maybe it’s just all the immense pressures over the past few months, coming to a head. And that New York’s weather has been miserable. As a kid, when I didn’t like the weather, I would just curl up with a good book and a blanket and ignore the world. As an adult, I can’t do that. I have…. responsibilities. :-p I just wanna rest for a while. Just rest.
