Read the rest of what happened to Christina today and how she put the other mom in her place..."Well, apparently, there are a couple of girls in Wee One and the little friend's class who have been picking on the friend because of her "Chinese eyes."
I am quite sure everyone out there can just about imagine how well that goes over with me.
My mother is Asian, thus, I am half Asian. From Mom I inherited my complexion and dark hair and eyes, but not my stature. My father was Anglo. He was also a brawny man in his day with a large-boned frame and broad shoulders. Unfortunately for me, I inherited from him that large-boned frame. When I was growing up he frequently referred to me as "stout" and my father was not much of a beer drinker.
In any event, unless one is in the know or has more than a provincial outlook of those around them, few actually recognize my Asian features for what they are. Where I grew up in Louisiana it was not uncommon for people to ask or assume I was Creole or high yella, as it was referred to. Here and around South Central Texas, the grand assumption is that I am just Hispanic."...

Second, it's a felony to deface a beautiful historic building.
I walked/rode by this building every day for 6 years, and it was always a pleasure to see the young men and women of the various ROTC groups doing training or ordering the colors. Except of course, when I was laughing at them for wearing their uniforms wrong 
I also never saw a single moment of disrespect, and often people would stop to watch and give respect as the colors were raised or lowered in front of the building.
The building was orginally scheduled to be demolished last year as part of UNC's Master Plan, but was given a new lease on life thanks in part to UNC's naval alumni.
I can't help but wonder if this signals the end for the old building after all.
During WWII the Naval Armory at UNC was the main training site for all naval aviators in WWII, including Ted Williams, President George HW Bush, and President Gerald Ford.
Michelle and Blackfive have more. Here's the story from the N and O.
On a side note, the most grafitti I EVER saw on campus during my 6 years in Chapel Hill was "Duke #1" sprayed on the brick walk in front of the Health Sciences library in 1999-2000....

What am I talking about? Well, I got my hair chopped off. It was down to the middle of my back and she chopped off over a foot, which is going to Locks of Love.
Pictures of both the old and new hair when I get them uploaded. Yay!

You are 84% true Southern! You are pure belle or gentleman! You know your Jones Soda, Nehi and RC colas, your Moon Pies and sweet potato pie; you'd absolutely die without air conditioners in the summer, and you've seen Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes (or read the book!). Your grandmother lives in an antebellum home and has a cook who makes the best fried chicken and asparagus casserole and summer squash and everything else in the world. And you know the taste of honeysuckle and the feel of grass between your toes. You are blessed. |

BTW, according to the 24 site, his character's name is "Graham" and he is a "power broker"... and may have had something to do with the plane crash that screwed up the previous president....

Alton Brown doesn't reduce sauces. He demoralizes sauces.
Alton Brown's blender has four speeds: 'stir', 'mix', 'frappe', and 'plasmify'.
Alton Brown can eat just one Lay's potato chip. If he ever bothered to eat food he didn't make himself, that is.
Alton Brown's cakes don't rise. They ascend.
read all of of them!

Read my post from last year.
Millions of people died because of their Christian faith in a well-planned and mercilessly executed attack. Never forget.

Now I know what a lot of you think of Rosie. She'd probably agree with you. And yeah, the documentary was a bit over the top on the self-promotion side since it clearly was made in part as an advertising ploy for future cruise bokings. Yes, I disagree with her politics and her constant insertion of her foot in her mouth, and I'll never understand her crush on Tom Cruise, but clearly her family is important to her. And not just as a political tool.
Surprisingly, we enjoyed it. And you know what? It wasn't preachy. Or political. Well, scratch that. There was one brief scene in which Rosie and Kelli were discussing the defense of marriage act and how it had been voted down. But that was just 2 minutes out of 90.
Read the rest in the extended... more...

Find your own pose!
Paper Dolls is a Sea Sleepers pose. A possible alternate Sea pose you might enjoy: Sixth Posture of the Perfumed Forest.
Health Note: Ginger pills, available at any health-inspired market, can sometimes calm the jitters that come when unforeseen factors force two Paper Dolls apart.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' choice of a Hebrew flavored name for their newborn daughter has speakers of the language scratching their heads.
Baby Suri's name can be traced to a Hebrew word meaning "princess" or "noblewoman," but by such a circuitous route that the connection is lost on most Israelis. Since the birth Tuesday in Los Angeles, bemused Israeli TV and radio presenters have debated the word's origins."Nobody here has ever really heard of it," an announcer on Israel's Army Radio said during a discussion Thursday. The Yediot Ahronot newspaper agreed in its half page splash on the celebrity birth.
"We seem to have learned a new Hebrew word and from Tom Cruise, no less," said a Channel 2 TV anchorman.
...
Suri is a pet name for Sarah," Koor told Army Radio. "The Ashkenazi Jews of Poland and Hungary pronounce it Suri."In ancient Hebrew, Sarah is the feminine form of "Sar," or lord. In modern Hebrew, the word means a Cabinet Minister.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Idiot.
I believe the name they were looking for is Sarai. That was Abraham's wife's name (in the bible) before it was changed to Sarah. Which means Princess, according to most baby books.

He links this fabulous Ann Coulter column, then synthesizes it into something beautiful of his own. Especially with regard to the oft heard cry of "hypocrisy!":
"Ann is right about hypocrisy, too. We live in a country where mouth-breathers and slackjaws accuse people of hypocrisy whenever they criticize any action they themselves have taken in the past. It's sad that the average person has a tiny brain, and that such stupidity passes for logic. Ann tears that argument apart pretty well this week.Read the whole thing! It is a thing of beauty.
An accusation of hypocrisy is a tool a sub-par mind uses to excuse bad or stupid behavior. If I jumped off the Empire State Building, does that mean I lose the right to tell other people not to jump? Of course not. It may seem otherwise to you, if you move your lips when you read and you find butterfly ballots confusing, but to an intelligent person, it's obvious that it's ALWAYS okay for ANYONE to advise you to avoid stupid behavior.
...
True hypocrisy involves an element of dishonesty. Falling short of perfection does not make you a hypocrite.
If you want to do something stupid or immoral, don't be a whiny little boy and say, "You're not perfect, either." Be a man and say, "I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm doing it anyway, because I don't care if it's right." Or "because I'm weak." Or "because I'm an addict." Don't hide behind a child's favorite lame argument."

You know the whole flap about Michelle Malkin? Well, these assholes tried to do the same thing with some prominent Righty Bloggers and supposed-Righty Bloggers.
Except the contact info is pretty much all wrong. Poor Jonah Goldberg of Forest Park, GA....
And Rusty Shackelford? Umm, that's a pseudonym you morons.
