"Who?" I hear you ask?
Bob Barr is the Libertarian candidate for President. You know, the candidate from the party that is NEVER invited to the debates. "OK, now that I know who he is, why is he so happy and why do I care?" I hear you ask.
I'll tell you why...
Both Barack Obama and John McCain missed the filing deadline to be on the ballot in Texas come November.
The deadline was Wed. August 27 at 5 P.M. CDT. Neither filed. The rules in Texas state that anyone who wishes to be on the ballot for the general election in November must file 70 days before the election.
"So they can just write them in," I hear you say.
Nope. Not in Texas.
Texas is very clear. A write-in candidate MUST be on the ballot.
The statutes state:
146.022. CANDIDATE'S NAME REQUIRED TO APPEAR ON
LIST. A write-in vote may not be counted unless the name written in
appears on the list of write-in candidates required by Section
146.031.
"But what does section 146.031 say?" I hear you cry. I shall tell you.
146.031. LIST OF WRITE-IN CANDIDATES. (a) The
authority responsible for having the official ballot prepared shall
prepare a list containing the name of each write-in candidate
certified to the authority. Each name must appear in the form in
which it is certified.
(b) A write-in candidate's name may not appear more than once on the list.
(c) Copies of the list shall be distributed to the counting officers in the election for use in counting write-in votes.
(d) Copies of the list shall be distributed to each presiding election judge with the other election supplies. A copy of the list shall be posted in each polling place at each place where an instruction poster is required to be posted.
(e) The authority responsible for having the official ballot prepared shall retain a copy of the list and preserve it for the period for preserving the precinct election records.
But wait, it gets better...
192.031. PARTY CANDIDATE'S ENTITLEMENT TO PLACE ON
BALLOT. A political party is entitled to have the names of its nominees for president and vice-president of the United States placed on the ballot in a presidential general election if:
(1) the nominees possess the qualifications for those offices prescribed by federal law;
(2) before 5 p.m. of the 70th day before presidential election day, the party's state chair signs and delivers to the
secretary of state a written certification of:
(A) the names of the party's nominees for president and vice-president; and
( the names and residence addresses of presidential elector candidates nominated by the party, in a number
equal to the number of presidential electors that federal law allocates to this state; and
(3) the party is:
(A) required or authorized by Subchapter A of Chapter 172 to make its nominations by primary election; or
( entitled to have the names of its nominees placed on the general election ballot under Chapter 181.
Basically, both McCain and Obama have decided to test that old saying, "Don't mess with Texas."
This should be an interesting few days. The ballot as it stands as of 5 PM Wed is on line at the Texas Secretary of State's website. Yes, many write-in candidates are listed. But the Republicans and Democrats are a glaring omission on the Presidential line.
I can't start to tell you how funny I think this is. I know, some of you are thinking Florida, 2000 and the debacle there. That was my first thought, when I thought they could be written in. But no. Neither Obama nor McCain can be written in under current Texas law. They are their parties' nominees and party nominees had to be on the ballot by 5 PM yesterday.
Think about that for a few minutes. Neither can be voted for at this stage in the game. I'm sure McCain is changing his Depends right now, as he really needs Texas if he's to have a prayer at this stage of the game. And no one can vote for him there. Not one vote for McCain or Obama can be counted as they are not on the ballot.
I'm sure by Friday the Texas Election Committee or the Texas Secretary of State will have either bent the rules or called a special meeting to fix the rules and extend the deadline. But right now, well, I'm just beyond amused.

*sigh*
This year is turning out to be the first year since about 1984 that I've missed watching the DNC and RNC conventions. Yeah, I watch them both. But no TV means no conventions.
I went to the DNC website last night. Live streaming video. COOL!
Wait, not so cool.
You need the Microsoft Silverlight plug in. OK, I downloaded it.
You need the Move Networks media player.
WTF? Move Networks?
So I visit their website. I look around. OK, this is not an HD monitor, but hell, I want to watch the convention! So I download the player. I go back to the DNC website. I click the video stream.
A new tab pops open. I'm told to wait while the content loads. So I wait. And wait. And wait. I notice there is no traffic on my computer. The little monitor lights in the systray are dark. So I hit reload.
Nope.
The fucking media player does NOT work. WTF? So I uninstall and reinstall. Nothing.
This is pissing me off. Yeah, I know you're trying to be cutting edge and all of that and sponsorship is everywhere these days, but holy hell! Why can't I just watch using Windows Media Player?
So now, I'm finding my political junkie self without a way to watch the conventions. I really do want to watch. I want to see the roll call, especially. Watching after the fact on the tube that is you is so not doing it for me.
So where are the political junkies in Tulsa who want to adopt me until Thursday and then again during the RNC convention? I promise only to throw soft things when whatever is being said pisses me off.
Any takers?

Misogyny

mi-sog-y-ny (mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-)
Noun - hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.
Compare misandry.
1656, from Gk. misogynia, from misogynes "woman-hater," from miso-, comb. form of misos "hatred" (from misein "to hate") + gyne "woman" (see queen). Misogynist is first recorded 1620.
Years ago when the regional rooms were far more regional, a few of us who worked odd hours hung out in the old East Coast Room late at night. We'd have rather interesting conversations. The core group that late was me and three guys and well, they'd give up a lot of secrets about men.
They maintained that at least 90% of straight men actually don't like women, but are misogynists. Even with me being Lil Miss Cynical, I always had trouble believing that. Back then, I never had trouble finding men with some respect for women. But as the face of this site changes even more, I'm not having a bit of trouble believing it.
I doubt I'm the only one who has seen men who are more bitter than three day old rewarmed coffee complaining about how bitter all the women they talk to are. How we're a bunch of bitches and cunts because we won't put out to every guy who wants to get laid at that very instant. That we're gold diggers if we want to have a date before deciding to fuck this person with the shadow silhouette or dick pic on his profile and who won't make with the face pic. We're bitches and cunts for not handing out our home addresses or in the first five minutes. This is misogynistic behavior.
We hear lines such as, "I love women. I love the way they taste, smell and feel. But you're a bunch of dried up old cunts."
"I signed up for this site to meet hot chicks who want sex. But all I'm finding are cliques of women who hate men."
"You looked at my profile! So why didn't you write and tell me when and where we could fuck?"
"I almost met someone, but she wanted ME to pay for the hotel room."
Then there's my personal favorite...
"If I want a woman's opinion, I'll take my dick out of her mouth!"
Gentlemen, (and I use that term loosely in this case,) if you view women as nothing but a series of holes, you do NOT love women. You're a misogynist who just wants a fuck toy that you can throw away when you're done. As a matter of fact, you want to throw her in the trash even before your pants are back on. That is, if you even bothered to do more than unzip.
But it isn't just about sex. It's more than likely these are the same guys who will complain that women no longer know their place in this world. We're supposed to be popping out babies and baking fresh bread by hand, (no bread machine for you!) having a meal on the table the INSTANT he walks in the door and have the energy to live out his porn fantasies after dealing with the six . Oh and the woman who has popped out spawn every year is supposed to be as tight as a virgin.
Yep. The married misogynist will complain that after the that HE wanted, his wife isn't tight enough for him anymore. Gee, I guess you should have thought of that before you insisted she keep having until you got the boy you so desired. A word of wisdom on that... If the other are girls, chances are that boy will not grow up to be the macho man you've envisioned, but gay and proud. Just about every gay man I've ever known has been the only boy among a bunch of girls. Granted there are exceptions to that rule, but it's a pretty good bet.
Basically, the misogynist thinks a woman really does NEED to LEARN HER PLACE in the food chain. It doesn't matter if she's smarter, if she knows more about rebuilding an engine than he, that most of the top chefs in the world are men. She is to be a breeder and a feeder and a living sex doll.
What I find shocking is, there are just as many women who are praticing misogynists, who will giggle at the quotes I've used and talk about how uppity the modern woman has become. Ladies, just because you suffer from self loathing and need to get all your self-esteem from your relationship status doesn't mean all women should share your mental illnesses. Get a clue and start being your own person.
A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness. - Miller in "Repo Man"
Ah yes. As I was getting ready to write this the other day, I got a bit sidetracked as a piece of mail arrived in my inbox. The synchronicity was beautiful. It came from a man who doesn't realize he is a misogynist. The back and forth follows.

Quite the amateur writer aren't we? LOL
If you talk in person as much as you type on your profile then it would definitely remind me of my italian family on a saturday afternoon all gathered together and....bitching for 8 hours straight *wink*
I enjoy sex and friendship do you? Whatever happened to the good old days where people were fun and cool to hang out with? Remember those days? When friends were friends not emotional vampires hell bent on sucking the life out of you.
When men were men they did the lawn fixed the truck and didn't pay someone else to do it. A woman could serve her man knowing he was going to serve her in return in his own way as well. It was a partnership.
Times have changed...I don't like it Ann do you? Tradition had its beautiful elements nowadays its every man/woman for themselves and to hell with loyalty.
What a damn shame. Maybe we could talk. Don't let my profile fool you I'm just seeking one woman for those things. I was married for 14 years and never cheated thats no joke. If you can relate please feel free to contact me...Take care Ann
While I find it admirable that there are men who were faithful in their marriages, this piece of mail said to me, this is a man with issues with women. It starts with a backhanded comment and goes on to talk about how women belong in their place. Then I had to read his profile, which says he's looking for a porn queen. You know I had to play with him, right?

Um, thanks. But I do think you'd be better off with a native of this backwards state. You know, a woman who was raised to be subservient to men and see no problem with serving her man.
You might remember, "To Serve Man" might have been a cookbook, but it wasn't from the Betty Crocker series. It was an alien cookbook on how to prepare human flesh.
I do have trouble with the idea of a traditionalist who and I quote from your profile, "In essence I'm seeking a pornographic relationship: Meaning we will, together, put porn stars to shame in more ways then one."
Sorry, but there is NOTHING traditional about pornography and the women in those movies if they're having anything that resembles an orgasm, they're actually having moneygasms. Pornography in no way, shape or form shows a man how to make love to a woman, or even how to please a woman sexually. Ever notice blow job scenes last 15 minutes while cunnilingus scenes last all of ten seconds? Right. Pornography has no basis in reality, anymore than chick flicks have any basis in reality.
Good luck finding the June Cleaver of your dreams who will serve on her knees. I am not she.
Should have ended there, right? My, I was surprised when he answered right away and dug himself in deeper...

Well misanthrope what I actually mean by pornographic relationship is a lot of good sex.
Hence the we will put porn actors to shame aspect. I realize many women wont "get it" per say however I'm seeking the ones who will. I'm trying to weed out the fakes and wannabe sexual types posing as sexual types.
Pornographic was possibly the wrong word to use however im very tired of women claiming they enjoy sex and claiming they need it and turning out to be EXACTLY the opposite.
Believe it or not misanthrope...Ive met just as many women who lie about their intentions as youve met men, guaranteed.
Why women who arent nymphomaniacs even come to this site is beyond me. They must be gluttons for punishment or the type who want to continually remind themselves of how "men are dogs".
What theyve failed to recognize is men arent dogs we were genetically programmed to crave sex regularly. After all we are an animal.
Because truth be told misanthrope. When you break it all down to its basic components. Men crave sex due to hormones flowing through their veins. Womenwould do good to understand this and back off! LOL. Just like we need to back off of you when YOUR hormones are acting up and recognize its natural. Just as women are effected by their hormones so are men. Eureka!
I LOVE good sex with plenty of foreplay and kissing, massaging, oral satsfaction and believe it or not holding each other after and even before sex as well. Imagine that LOL
But of course I'm dealing with a misanthrope so why would I even be explaining this to you LOL. You already have everyone pegged as what you want them to be in order to remain in your mind set.
Cool Im not complaining more power to you. I dig it. I wont misjudge you or judge you for that matter. No need to wrongfully judge me either...Take care misanthrope wishing you the very best.
Yeah. I just love it when men expect us all to be nymphomaniacs, but don't have the slightest idea of what that word means. We're supposed to always be "on". Our batteries should never die or need recharging. And we should just fall flat on our backs, right?

Are you familiar with Miller's "Plate O' Shrimp" speech in the movie "Repo Man" and how it's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness? I signed onto the site today to write a blog post about how straight men really are guilty of misogyny and well, what you've had to say so far has proven to be a text book example.
I really do think you should think about a Real Doll. She'll always be ready, never cranky and will never open her mouth, except to blow you. And she's custom made. Which means you won't have to deal with the mental problems of a woman suffering from nymphomania, which is an actual disease. Nymphomaniacs cannot achieve sexual satisfaction. They also tend to have substance and/or alcohol problems, clinical depression, low self esteem, anxiety, changeable and manic behavior and personalities. In other words, if you're trying to avoid psychic or emotional vampires, the last thing you want is a nymphomaniac.
Trust me on this. I used to have a roommate who WAS a nymphomaniac. Along with bipolar disorder, which is common among nymphomaniacs and prostitutes. There would be up to seven different men in and out of the apartment every day, as she tried to reach sexual satisfaction. And because I refused to join in with these skanky guys, (not to mention I'm straight, not bi,) and because I believe in a steady lover and not pulling a train, I was told I hated sex. Yep. No, she hated men and sex and hated them because nothing could get her off. On the rare occasions where she did have an orgasm, the satisfaction wouldn't even last ten minutes. Then she wondered why she couldn't keep a boyfriend for more than a month at a time.
Trust me, you really do need to choose your words more carefully. And if you need sex 24/7, you do have a problem yourself.
As far as women who aren't pulling trains being here, you have to realize there are about 40 different portals leading into this one that promise everything from true love to finding a woman who will be nothing but your disposable fuck toy. Most of the women sign in through Passion.com which is advertised as the world's largest site for romance and dating.
So seriously, consider a Real Doll. It seems to be your speed and you won't have to worry about her cheating thanks to mental health issues.
Yep. I really was told that because I wouldn't fuck anything that moved, I hated sex. Most of the men that roomie brought home skeeved me out, to be honest. And I'm so not lying about the number of men she could do in a day. I do give him credit for his paranoia though. The INSTANT he was told about what I planned on writing, he visited my blog. Heh.

You know misanthrope if I didnt come from an extremely large Italian family withn deep roots in Newark, New Jersey...
I might take your ramblings on seriously.LOL However theres nothing you could possibly say to me here that even remotely pushes my buttons.
My buttons have been pushed from day 1 by the best of the best! A large northern Italian family. LOL
So that having been said...
Your wit is decent enough. If you want to witness true wit talk to my uncle Al in person or the other 90% of my family. They take the cake.
However, I am giving you an A for effort! Those dolls you speak of? when they begin making them in human flesh form I'll consider it. LOL
Because it HAS to be better then dealing with women LMAO
Now then shall we continue this rant or are we capable of acting like adults rather then pre school on too much Pez and sweet tarts?
Again your wit...Astonishing, amazing out of this world. My god Ive witnessed true genius for the first time today and it came in the form of MissAnnThrope.
Feel better? LOL
Take care misanthrope best of luck with whatever it is youre looking for. You seem like such a sweetheart too, Kiss. LMAO
Well, I left it at that as by corresponding with him I lost my steam trying to write this post. I'm not done playing with him though. Oh no. It's sort of fun to point out the misconceptions misogynistic men have about women. Notice the real wit in his family is a man? Yeah.
But here we have a text book example of a man who feels women should know their place and be fuck toys for men. Yep. Misogyny is alive and well on this friendly site.

Why is it so many of my horror stories about this site start with, "So I was on cam..." or, "I got curious and checked who hotlisted or flirted"?
Yep. This one is no different.
So I was on cam a few weeks ago. I was doing the normal bit of banning the directors and fucktards and talking to a few people. Mostly I was talking to the smoking fetishists. But I started talking to some local guy who seemed nice and polite enough.
Well, after talking to him for a while, I don't know what came over me especially since he was well out of my preferred age range, but I said sure, I'd meet him for lunch. It's only lunch, right?
But I did this in IMC. Without seeing a picture, without talking to him. Yeah, I tend to throw caution to the wind when I'm bored as fuck.
So after talking to him a bit more, I let him call. That is when I realized my mistake.
I checked the caller ID a second time to check that the name wasn't Karl Childers. I actually expected to hear at some point, "I picked up a kaiser blade that was a laying there by the screen door, some folks calls it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade. it's just a long handle like a axe handle with a long blade on it that's shaped kind of like a banana. Sharp on one edge and dull on the other. It's what the highway boys use to cut down weeds and whatnot."
That is what this man sounded like, except the accent was a bit thicker. Complete with the grunts in between sentences. I had to keep asking him to repeat himself, as I couldn't understand half of what he said.
Oh, but it got better. I learned that he works for the evil empire. Er, I mean Halliburton. I know it's a major employer down here, but that doesn't mean I want to associate myself with it in any way shape or form. Then as he talked more, he became more incoherent. This person who went from seemingly intelligent in text turned into a babbling moron on the phone. The grunting increased along with a strange breathing pattern. Oh holy hell! He's masturbating as he's talking to me!
I tried to turn him off. I went into my northeastern liberal feminist ranting that is designed to turn off ANYONE who had ever voted Republican after 1976. It didn't work. The grunting and weird breathing got worse. Oh yeah, I know what we have here. One of those right wingers who thinks women need to be put in their place. I started insulting Halliburton even more than I had before. Didn't work. He was determined to masturbate to my voice.
I thought about suddenly remembering I had some hideous phobia or mental disease where I couldn't leave the house ever. I thought about begging off with a sudden herpes outbreak or asking if he knew why it burnt when I peed and was green. I thought about anything that would turn him off. But I'm so unconvincing about pretending to be a bunny boiler and well, when you lie and claim to have an STD to get out of meeting someone on this site, it doesn't matter what region, it manages to get all over via the grapevine, as this is one uous gene pool when you get right down to it.
Then he tried to turn the conversation into phone sex. Great. I guess by calling Dick Cheney names he decided I wanted to talk dirty. So I went for the old stand-by. "I have to go, the phone is beeping at me and is going to die."
He said fine and he would call later on that night to finalize plans for lunch.
I started begging any god that would listen. "Please let this guy not call back! Let him stand me up!"
Obviously the gods were on my side. I never heard from him again. Which is a good thing.
This was the second time in my years on this site that I had been stood up. I was a lot happier about it this time. I still feel like I dodged a bullet.
Anyone else ever feel like they dodged a bullet by being stood up around here? Or am I just continuing my weirdness streak?

Go on. Ask me anything. I shall answer according to the that most famous oracle of all... The Magic 8 Ball.
Of course, there's something wrong with my 8 Ball. It hasn't been giving me the proper answers for the most part. So I cannot guarantee that the answer won't be offensive. Or that it will even make sense.
So ask away. Ask me what you need to know. Give me all your questions. Just keep in mind, the answer might raise even more questions.
Go on. Ask if you dare!

Maybe if I had my language fonts in place in Firefox, I'd know what language this was supposed to be. But I don't.
I went to the local blogs page and what did I see?
Blogs > World > ‒kƒAƒƒŠƒJ > ƒAƒƒŠƒJ > ƒIƒNƒ‰ƒzƒ} > Eastern Oklahoma
WTF language was that supposed to be? Chinese? Japanese? Korean? All I know is, it's not the native language spoken in Oklahoma. OK, so standard English isn't really spoken here for the most part either. But most do know how to read at least basic English.
Oh, screw it. I'd move to Blog spot, but they have a host of problems too.
I think I'll take a shower.

What The FUCK Are They Doing To This Site NOW????

Motherfucking sons of whores jackal bastards.
Not only is it taking forever and a day to get signed in, there are some lovely new features that need to be thrown back.
WTF is with "My Blogs" in bright orange?
For those of you who don't know, the word blog is supposed to be singular. It is short for weblog. The individual posts or entries are plural. It should say "My Blog" not "My Blogs." That improper plural, which I know is gaining acceptance is like fingernails down a chalk board to me.
You know what? My IQ is over 90, you retards. I can tell that I'm on MY BLOG page. Oh no! If it doesn't tell me, well then I'm obviously on Busty's blog page, right? Even though it's MY PICTURE and MY POSTS! But no! I have to be treated like a three year old who can't read and be told it's MY PAGE!
Then there's the fact they've resized the pages. Brilliant, you fucking imbeciles. Has it occurred to you that not all of us have wide screen monitors and having to scroll left and right on pages is a pain in the ass? Do you have eight grade drop outs sizing the tables?
Let's not forget, most on this site are firmly in middle age, whether you inbreds at the top want to admit it or not. Which means, a good number of us are in bifocals territory, but bifocals work if you're looking down as you read. NOT with a computer monitor. So, those of us with eyes over 45 tend to increase the size of the text on the pages of sites that use 10 pt. by holding down Ctrl and clicking up with the mouse wheel. Now, thanks to the brilliant minds that have taken over this company, to read ANYTHING we now have to scroll left and right for every single fucking line!
I hope you all suffer the torments of Dante's Inferno times 1,000,000. Even that isn't fitting punishment for you cocksucking sociopaths.
You know what? I don't need big orange letters telling me what page I'm on. Especially since I've clicked the link and it already tells me where I am! I don't need cues for those who are so stupid it's amazing they ever got off the Welcome page at AOfuckingHell. Just because you've been advertising to attract the lowest common denominator among men who couldn't get laid by a crack , it doesn't mean that those of us who actually use the site to its fullest need this brightly colored, clashing orange with the Passion.com portal colors of purple, pink and gray. Because we KNOW where we are! Adult Chat Rooms? No way! As you have to be at least 18 to join this site, I thought they were the FUCKING KIDDIE CHAT ROOMS! I know people act like Romper Room Don't Bees at times, but holy hell! Do you really have to tell us that they're for chronological adults? DO YOU REALLY THINK WE'RE ALL THAT FUCKING STUPID?????????
And who's fucking rocket scientist idea was it to move the tool bar with fonts, colors, preview, etc. to the top of the box here on the blogs? Are you trying to be different than every other fucking site on the web? Put it at the bottom, where it belongs! I don't want to have to look up to preview! Preview belongs AT THE BOTTOM, WHERE YOU SEE IT WHEN YOU'RE DONE TYPING!
You know, I had high hopes that when Penthouse bought the site it would change it for the better. To clean up the existing problems before adding useless features. But what did we get instead? RAM sucking Java freezing ads on all the profile pages and on the main chat page. Pages that won't stop loading, because there's something wrong with the ads. Even paying customers have to deal with these ads. You know what? I'm a chick. I don't want to watch movies with women wearing more make-up than Tammy Faye Baker and tits that look faker than Tara Reid's. I don't want to watch the cartoon characters from "Naruto" having sex. Not to mention, they're only supposed to be TWELVE YEARS OLD in that cartoon. So that's porn by proxy if you think about it. Weren't the fake ads of profiles that don't exist on the home page bad enough for you? Do you realize as time goes on, far fewer people view this as a site to meet people in real life, but just another porn site for their cyber fantasies?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???? You are destroying what used to be a great site. Now, I half expect an edict to go out to us ladies, telling us that we're required to have face lifts and or Botox if we're over 40, go on crash diets to get down to skeletal like the women in the movies and if we're under a DD, get implants. So we can all be the plastic fantastic web fantasy of some 70 year old horny net geek who looks like he's ready for the grave!
Guys, don't fix what isn't broken and fix what is broken. Please fix what's broken. Please? And get rid of the bright orange!

I'm sure everyone has noticed there are lots of double standards on this site. But there's one that really annoys me.
It is the cheating man vs. the cheating woman.
The women on this site rarely have kind words for that man who is sneaking around behind his wife's back. She's the mother of your ! She does your cooking, cleaning and ironing! How dare you sneak around behind her back? If you want to have sex, just divorce her and start dating then!
While I don't date cheating men, but will consider a man in an open marriage if he's my type, a year or two ago I started to understand why some men cheat. Yep. I was watching "Nanny 911." For a while, I was addicted to that show and decided that some women don't just deserve their husbands to sneak around behind their backs, but some deserve a shallow grave in the woods.
But not all cheating men are married to complete psychotic shrews that hate sex. Some have wives and mistresses who enjoy sex, but he's cheating on them both, because he can't keep it in his pants. These men, well, divorce the wife and just hire yourself out as a , instead of leading on various women in your lives.
Basically, show me a cheating man in a chat room and I'll show you a man who has been ganged up on by most of the women, just because he said hi. A cheating man has to have charm, charisma and intelligence. And know when not to hit on a woman. Then he can just blend in with the color of the room.
But, most women will agree, show them a cheating man and they will show you someone they hope beyond hope gets caught by the wife.
So why is it different for cheating women?
When a woman is cheating, not many seem to mind. Oh, her husband just doesn't pay attention to her, or he's bad in bed and won't take direction, he's more interested in baseball than sex, he's a pig that she's just not attracted to anymore... Everyone has an excuse for the cheating woman.
Why?
If she doesn't love her husband anymore, why not just divorce him? If he doesn't even notice she exists anymore, chances are he has a girlfriend. So why aren't these women being told to get a divorce? Why aren't they being ganged up on?
I've known a few women in my years here who were ready to leave their husbands. They just had to find a man first. MANY of them succeeded in finding a new man to take care of them. The men fell into the trap.
Yep. I did say trap. So many of these women are afraid to live on their own, they can't leave their husbands until they have someone else lined up. The men who think married women are safer than single women fall for it every time.
Why do they think married women are safer? They seem to think that a married woman isn't going to fall in love and want to leave her husband, that she's just going to be in it for the sex. In 85% of the cases I've seen, nothing could be further from the truth.
But back to the double standard. Everyone flames the married men, they scream at him that they hope he gets caught. Right?
So why is it when a married woman is caught by her husband, it's a tragedy? OMG, the poor woman, sure, she hates her husband's guts, but this will only add to her hate. How could he do such a thing to her?
Why is that double standard so prevalent on this site? Why is a cheating man a scumbag, but a cheating woman is a victim?
This confuses me. In my mind, a cheater is a cheater and if you get called out, you knew the risks from the start. So be a man, or a woman and deal with the aftermath.
Go to marriage counseling. See if you can't talk through the issues that drove you to cheat. If you can't, get a divorce. Then you can really play the victim and get the sympathy fuck.
Or am I betraying the so-called sisterhood by saying what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?

...Nothing says "I'm a /manwhore who will do anyone, anywhere," like these t-shirts.
Last night, a friend of mine went to gay pride in Rochester. She went to the after party at the Armory, where there were lots of vendors. Someone she knows works for this condom company and was there selling their t-shirts.
You know a shirt is beyond tacky if you can't sell them to kitschy queens.
I am talking about Teez-It condoms. They're a new product and their gimmick is the condom packets attach to a t-shirt with cute little slogans. Yeah. Nothing like saying, "I'm ready to fuck RIGHT NOW!" like wearing a condom on your shirt.
Yeah, it does advertise that you're into safe sex. However, it also advertises that you're out looking for nothing but sex. It sort of lets a woman you're trying to pick up that all your sweet words are nothing but bullshit and it tells men that a woman wearing it is up for anything with anyone.
Now, I know some of you are saying to yourselves, "yeah, a shirt like that cuts through the bullshit." But think about it...
OK, so you're in a bar and you see a cute drunk chick wearing one of these shirts with a condom attached. You're thinking to yourself, "SCORE!"
Then you approach her and she has an attitude and you get really pissed off at her. This is someone who is advertising herself as a sure thing that is turning out NOT to be a sure thing. This adds to your feelings of rejection, (you can't even score with someone advertising that she's the town pump,) and also your resentment towards women in general. If the one advertising she's looking to get laid tonight is a cock tease, what about the rest of them?
Now let's say you're a woman who's out, not even looking, just out for the night. And some guy wearing a condom on his shirt starts chatting you up. Are you going to be interested or just think that he's looking to put another notch on the bedpost? I know there are women on this site who would be turned off if some guy showed up at a meet and greet wearing one of these shirts. Even a woman who has five partners a day wants to be made to feel special when a guy tries to pick her up.
Not to mention, how many of us are going to look at a guy wearing a condom on his shirt and think he's just another one shot wonder? And that he's going to be so quick, it's not even going to be worth taking our panties off? Be honest. You know that would cross your mind.
Advertising you're out on the prowl isn't cheap either. The shirts are $24 each and a box if six condoms to go with it are $5. So your minimum investment to say you're easy and can only go at it once in a night is going to be $29. Plus shipping and handling, of course.
This company is going for the youth crowd too. They were a presence at the MTV Movie Awards last month. But every I've asked about it has snickered. My friend's had lots of nasty things to say about these shirts. As a matter of fact, the vendor who works for the company has been trying to get my friend's to go around town wearing one of these shirts. The girl is incredibly skeeved out at the idea and doesn't want a reputation as the town . And at 16, I really don't blame her.
So this company is striking out with both their teenage and gay crowd targets. While it's a well intentioned idea, I really don't see it flying. Then again, I could be wrong. I mean, if they get Paris Hilton to wear one of these shirts on some talk show, I'm sure sales would take off.
But how many of you would wear one of these while out on the prowl? Be honest.

...With my use of the word cuntscab.
I got curious today and Googled it. FIFTEEN pages of hits for the word. Woo-hoo! It's finally entering common usage! However... The only one of those hits for me was a comment I left on [blog VoodooGuru1] blog. Not even my blog showed up?
I actually had to search for cuntscab +MissAnnThrope for it to come up! Hey, you bastards, that's MY WORD! How dare you!
So obviously I haven't been using cuntscab enough.
There is a reason for it. I mean, let's face it. Is Ann "the cuntscab" Coulter even worth talking about anymore? Hell, does anyone even notice her anymore? Has she even been on O'Reilly to sit there as he leers at her fake tits lately? Or is she off pretending to dry out somewhere?
Then there's Condoleeza "the cuntscab" Rice. For a woman in her position of power, she doesn't make the news nearly as much as she should.
Or maybe it's the total lack of TV news here. I can't leave MSNBC or CNN on in the background and just listen. News websites can be a pain in the ass to get around. News that doesn't pertain to the conventions or election seems to be lacking. Unless of course, it's Karl Rove who should go to jail for contempt of Congress. He's a cuntscab in his own right, but yesterday's news.
Sally "the cuntscab" Kern doesn't make national news enough to warrant much of a mention and she seems a bit quiet now that her faith based initiative of allowing to do their homework based on what the bible says has been vetoed.
But cuntscab does seem to be entering general usage on the web. So at least, that is a good thing. But I have been slacking. So I'm asking all of you, how do I use cuntscab in a more creative manner? How do I just slip it in? Please give me some examples.
BTW, I did do the image search on the word too. Heh. My profile picture, the one that keeps disappearing, comes up on page four. Great...

I thought it was finally all over for me. That I was truly becoming a dried up old hag.
Let me explain.
In February, I felt the PMS coming on. I ordered tampons from that popular Drugstore site, as no one around here had the brand I liked. They arrived in what I thought was the nick of time and I waited. And waited. And waited some more. OK, I'm skipping a month. Next month.
Nope.
I knew menopause was starting, that there were gaps in between my periods that could be months or weeks. But every month, I felt like I was going to get it. The week I was to have it, I'd have the cramps, the headache, the backache, but no blood. OK, silent periods. Coolness.
Then in May, I started getting PMS symptoms that NEVER FUCKING WENT AWAY! I have had breast swell since then, the massive tiredness, the falling asleep at the drop of a hat, the cramps, the lower back pain, bloating, the pesky headaches. OK...
So last month I went to the Chinese grocery here in town and got some tea called Menopause Easy. I can't take hormone replacement therapy, the last three generations of women on my mother's side of the family have all died of blood clots. I'm too high risk. So Chinese herbalism seemed like a good alternative. Plus, thanks to my exposure to Dr. Zhang, the acupuncturist and herbalist I so sorely miss back in NYC, I have a bit more faith in it than the Drugs they force on women.
When I got there, I was looking for a pair of zoris. Better known in this country as flip-flops. I hate the rubber ones, I like the ones with wicker or bamboo woven soles. I decided to check out the entire store while I was there though. As I went down the tea aisle, the box of tea was basically where I acan only say it was waiting for me. It was misplaced on the tea shelves, I was actually looking for hibiscus. It was the ONLY box and it was placed where I couldn't miss it and where it was calling to me. I wish I could explain it further.
So, I bought it.
When I feel up to a hot beverage in this town, it makes me feel better. But the weather at this time of year isn't exactly conducive to hot beverages. So, I've been sliding. Not to mention, I don't want to go all the way back down there before the weather changes for a second box. I've thought about making it as iced tea, but I can just see the roomie not realizing that pitcher of tea is menopause tea... Oh, the comedic possibilities...
But this weekend, I basically melted down. It started Saturday. I figured it was because I was just THAT upset that Yankee great Bobby Murcer died from his brain tumor. I was really bucking for him to beat it. But man, it was a meltdown. Especially on Sunday. Ask the roomie, he had to deal with it. I couldn't stop crying and my ankle was swelling and I had to walk to the grocery store and Bobby Murcer is dead and I can't find the antenna so I can't watch the All-Star Game on Tuesday and this is the last year for Yankee Stadium and... Yeah.
All the while, the past two weeks, it's been almost impossible for me to stay awake. I'm to the point with the bloating that my clothes barely fit and my bras are strangling me. But still, no period since January. I just figured it was all menopause. That it wasn't bloat making my clothes not fit, it was menopause weight gain. Just what I need, more weight. But the breast swell has been so painful, it's a good thing I feel so crappy about my body that I don't want sex, because anything more than the slightest tough and the pain... OMFG, THE PAIN!
Last night, I'm truly melting down. The All Star Game is starting, the antenna is nowhere to be found, when the from across the street comes over. I suddenly realize... His mother is in love, love, love, love, love, love, love with Derek Jeter. So I ask if she's watching baseball. Yes she was. So I went over, asked if I could watch with them, I most certainly could! YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt so much better after the game. It was a nail-biter of a game that went 15 innings. It tied the record for the longest game in All-Star history. The ending was spectacular too. I didn't even care that the MVP was one of those Boston scum Red Sox. I sat there giggling as he accepted his reward accompanied by booing from the NY crowd. You know, it's the All-Star game and for that one night a year, Boston and New York are on the same team. So, it really didn't bother me.
I came home ever so happy. Took a shower, goofed off online, had a small nap. I got up and got dressed with every intention of walking to the smoke shop before it got light and the heat started. But I started talking to a friend and well, the time got away from me. Lucky thing.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I got in there, sat down and noticed... WTF is all this brownish red shit all over my white panties? No! I've finally accepted I was a dried up old hag with non-functioning ovaries! How dare you do this to me!
Yep. I am now having my first period since January.
Well, that does explain the falling asleep constantly, why the breast swell and general bloating were so bad, why I've been crying almost non-stop since Saturday, why I've been ready to rip the heads off of anyone who annoys me... It's been major fucking PMS! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I was so ready for full menopause, which is considered a year after your last period. Hell, I was halfway there! Now, the clock resets.
I also wonder what my tits are going to look like after the water retention goes away and they deflate. This scares me. While they've been bloated and painful and all of that, thanks to the water retention, they were gorgeous and round. The looked magnificent.
I also worry about how long this period is going to last. It's starting heavier than it should. Are five months worth of blood and gunk going to come rushing out? Am I going to need tampons the size of a crib pad? Or a king sized mattress? Are the cramps going to be five times as bad?
I'm so ready to be infertile. You have no idea. But at least now I know that I'm not ready for the insane asylum and maybe, just maybe, I'll have the energy to keep a constant blog and answer comments again.
Oh, screw it. I'm off to the smoke shop before I'm to the point where I need a fresh tampon every fifteen minutes.

Jesus Get Your Gun

I so wish I was making this up. But you can't make shit like this up.
The Windsor Hills Baptist Church in Oklahoma City announced this weekend that due to a foot injury suffered by Pastor Emeritus Dr. Jim Vineyard, their Youth Conference automatic weapon giveaway for teenagers would be canceled. Dr. Vineyard is pictured to the left.
This has upset the church, as they expected teenagers to show up from as far away as Canada to get their hot little Jesus loving hands on free AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifles. This is disappointing for all because now, parents will have to shell out $800 a pop to keep their in violent weapons so they can worship a peace loving Jesus properly. Because, as we all know, you can't worship Jesus without a gun.
OK, so that's what the Liberal news media reported. On the WHBC Youth Conference website, they're having a tizzy. It's false reporting!
Why?
Well, there's only ONE AR-15 that was to be given away and that was going to go to the winner of the annual shooting contest. It's the shooting contest that was being headed by the Rev. Dr. Jim Vineyard and even though his very much adult is the senior pastor in the church, I have to assume that Dr. Vineyard is not confident in the competence of his .
But seriously. What the hell does a need with an assault rifle? Is it for when all the liberals come to kill all the Christians? Because you know, Jesus was a gun toting, cigar chomping, right winger. Yep. He wasn't one little bit of a hippie liberal. Nope. Not at all. And there is no such thing as a Christian who votes Democrat. Well, except for those pesky Catholics, right? But you fundies think they're Satanists anyway.
But seriously, an assault rifle for a 13 year old. Think about that.
I've watched the video from last year's youth conference, set to Aaron Copeland's "Rodeo". They don't show you what the girls are doing, but chances are the teenage girls and their mothers are in the kitchen cooking for the menfolk and boys. There are lots of images of the menfolk and boys in the video. The adult men spend their time off playing golf while the boys learn military basic training. Nothing like soldiers for Jesus.
From what I've seen of the girls, this is one of those fundamentalist churches that doesn't allow cross dressing. Um, excuse me. Women don't seem to be allowed to wear jeans or slacks. The video footage of the girls is scant. There's one scene where they show them at a local skating rink and another scene where the girls are putting on a play.
This is a fundamentalist independent Baptist church. You know, one of those that broke off from the Southern Baptist Convention because they're too liberal and allow women to be seen AND heard. We all know what 1 Corinthians 11 has to say about that. Even if that was all about women being rowdy and shouting to their husbands in the church, back in the days when early Christians followed the Jewish laws of segregation in the pews.
But alas, this year's conference is going to be without the shooting contest. Which, as every year, was to be done with semi-automatic assault rifles. So pity the poor who was set to win and be the envy and terror of his community.
I do wonder if Dr. Vineyard's injury was had to do with him shooting himself in the foot?
Fundies. Fear them.

This is for CB2's [post 1492177] Enjoy!
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Profile for Raoul Duke
I was somewhere on the internet on verge of finding porn when the drugs took hold. I remember feeling lightheaded and the next thing I knew, I found this site. All of the sudden, there was this page and I was surrounded by massive pussy pics. I heard a voice screaming, "Holy Jesus! Where did all these pussies come from?"
It was almost noon and I still had a few thousand pussy pics to go. Very soon I knew I would be completely twisted. But there was no going back, I had to ride it out. I joined the site.
I took the money the editors had forwarded me and paid for a gold membership for a year. That should give me time to browse through the profiles on my laptop while getting a lapdance from one of the girls at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater while snorting coke off her breasts.
Ideal Person
A woman who likes guns, sports and politics. A woman who enjoys snorting coke in the hot tub at my house in Woody Creek. A woman who will go that extra mile when I need a story. A woman who understands that I am NOT paranoid, they ARE out to get me and I do need my compound heavily protected. Did I say a woman who likes guns?
