Breast Cancer Benefit for Claudia

Went to a Benefit show 2/25 at the Columbus Theatre for a local lady who is fighting breast cancer. I like benefits for a specific person, it makes me feel like my donation is having a direct effect. There was a silent auction, nice food, and liquor so it was a good afternoon.

ash wednesday

For all those who blew off Ash Wednesday and haven't been smote, good job thwarting the will of god!

You've come a short way, baby

On the heels of Patriarchy Day, on which women are encouraged to demand flowers and chocolate instead of fair pay or ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, and browbeaten by our culture to feel worthless if they're single, comes further headlines from the misogynist news:

From SLATE:
Mom and Incest: Why banging your sister is icky.

CNN is female-friendly enough to refrain from use of the ever-appropriate euphemism, "banging," but still can't imagine the reader isn't male:

Study finds out why it's gross to kiss your sister

Perhaps "banging" one's brother would be equally icky? Just a thought...

RIP Molly Ivins

After Patrick J. Buchanan, as a conservative candidate for president, declared at the 1992 Republican National Convention that the United States was engaged in a cultural war, she said his speech “probably sounded better in the original German.”

“There are two kinds of humor,” she told People magazine. One was the kind “that makes us chuckle about our foibles and our shared humanity,” she said. “The other kind holds people up to public contempt and ridicule. That’s what I do.”

Ms. Ivins learned she had breast cancer in 1999 and was typically unvarnished in describing her treatments. “First they mutilate you; then they poison you; then they burn you,” she wrote.
