Jane Veers Republican for a Minute
"A bunch of girls think that you don't need no man to raise no child... shut the fuck up with the bullshit! Yeah, you can do it without a man, but it don't mean it's to be done! Shit! You can drive a car with your feet if you want to; it don't mean its a good fucking idea!" -- Chris Rock, Bigger and Blacker, 1999
Call me a closet republican, but as far as I can see, everything, EVERYTHING about this story is just plain WRONG.
From the oh-so-jolly headline, to the happy family grins on these womens' faces, WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Yeah, I'm judging these people. So sue me.
Even more disgusting, the Daily News has chosen to glorify and normalize this, rather than examining it from a serious point of view. And we wonder why the cycle of poverty and teen pregnancy and crime in the inner city remains unbroken.
"If a kid calls his grandma 'mama' and his mama 'Pam,' he's going to jail." -- Chris Rock again

He's a what?
I knew it was only a matter of time before the ghost of Nazi abettor Prescott Bush raised its ugly head. I didn't expect it to come up in Rush and Malloy, the New York Daily News' gossip column.
Of course the family claims it's the "age difference." I don't care what the age difference is, wouldn't most parents would be over the moon if their daughter was dating the the heir apparent to a multibillion (yes, that's BILLION, with a "b") fortune?
Oooh, I just hope the press can get a good quote from Barbara "these Katrina victims are doing better here at the Astrodome than they were before the storm" Bush, Sr. Cause if there's one thing the Bushes can't seem to avoid, it's gnawing on a little shoe leather now and then.

Still Out
I'm still on jury duty, by the way. We're up to Day 6. It's not actually that bad. More on it after we finish.
Still can't say anything about the case, but let me say, after today I did have to come home and watch this.
Watch it and tell me you don't laugh until you cry.
Also, I seem to have defeated the pigeons, but now I'm in a war with the squirrels. No one told me they were SMART.

New Jersey Works on Low Self-Esteem
Today was the opening of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. From its website:
"The inaugural class of the New Jersey Hall of Fame inductees includes Buzz Aldrin, Clara Barton, Yogi Berra, Bill Bradley, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Malcolm Forbes, Robert Wood Johnson II, Vince Lombardi, Toni Morrison, Norman Schwarzkopf, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Meryl Streep and Harriet Tubman. We anticipate that most, if not all, of our inductees and/or their families will be on hand for this historic event."
I wish I could have been there, just to see how Albert Einstein, Clara Barton, Vince Lombardi and Harriet Tubman have been holding up after all these years.
And where the f*** was FRANKIE VALLI? I mean, come ON.
