I wish I could say the world's gotten better.

But a little over 21 years ago, an angry man went on a rampage and shot 14 women simply for the crime of being female.

Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, may you rest in peace.

Well, now it's December. So much for my blogging assignment for myself. Perhaps this isn't my strong point?

Educated, Glamourous, and wearing a Hijab. I love finding articles that promote the freedom of dressing modestly, rather than promoting the 'liberal' idea that unless we all run around in miniskirts and tube tops we are somehow repressed.

This is why Seattleites fear snow

Life or death-decided by internet poll

Please go to http://www.birthornot.com/ and vote for this couple to give birth to their baby...and if you're the praying sort, pray they realize how foul their actions are!

I can't believe life and death can be put up to popular vote like this.

new death clinics opening in U.S.

Doctor opening new late-term abortion clinics in D.C. area, Iowa

This cannot be allowed to continue!

Day 04 – What you ate today

Coffee, fruit, vegetarian nachos, soup, raw veggies, and a Weight Watchers ice cream bar.

Day 05 – Your definition of love

The feeling of completeness and belonging you get when being with another person just feels...right.

Day 06 – Your day

Was a day like any other, with an extra hour to boot.

Day 07 – Your best friend

My husband.

I'll get back to other blogging soon, I promise

Flu bugs have hit our household. But in other news...

"Bleep My Dad Says" is a comedy based on the site Shit My Dad Says. Basic premise, 20-something guy loses his job, moves back with his dad. Pretty typical story of the current economy. Said 20-something man's father is a foul-mouthed (obviously edited for television) wise-cracking retiree played by William Shatner. Hubby is a William Shatner fan (yes, he's a Trekkie). So I'll sometimes watch with him. It has funny moments.

The most recent episode, however, left me bothered enough to contemplate writing to the station to complain. Here is a brief summary.

The scene that disturbed me was towards the end, when Henry comes home from his "date" with a torn shirt and walking gingerly (as if to imply forced sodomy) after a night of rough and violent sexual activity.

And it was used not as a sobering realization that men can also be raped...but as a comedic device!

I'll repeat that: RAPE was used for COMEDY.

Are you mad yet? I sure am.
