Well this is just rude
Thief steals coat off dog's back
Some jerk took this poor dog's winter coat. Really? I had this misconception that the kind of people that put coats on their dogs are not also the kind of people who steal coats from dogs. But obviously someone saw the coat and thought "Oh, my dog would look great in that!" I'm glad (at least) that this rudian didn't take the dog too.

Here I go...
Mostly I try to be lighthearted on my blog because there's a lot of bad news around and also I think that I can be pretty funny sometimes - no one laughs harder at my jokes than me!
But as I get older I appreciate more and more what our mothers and grandmothers have done for future generations of girls and women and am also reminded that we have so so far to go. It seems to me that everyday I read some news story or overhear some remark that negates my contributions to the world for the simple fact that I sit when I pee. So I've resolved to start posting some instances of irritating, enraging and often ludicrous examples of why women and the men who love us should never stop being feminists. If you stop, then the forces that would (and do in many parts of the world) keep girls uneducated and unable to be effective members of society will incrementally take that power back.
First up, at a forum to discuss how to stay safe at York University, which seems to be the rape capital of Canadian universities, a police officer told the audience not to dress like sluts to avoid being assaulted. It's not their fault - perverts just can't turn away from cleavage and a mini-skirt.

The JLA watches me bathe...
We made these shadow boxes ages ago and finally put them up. Green Lantern watches over the stairwell, the Flash and Wonder Woman watch TV with us, and Martian Manhunter, Superman and Batman make sure I don't drown in the tub. I had Hawkgirl up to watch the front door but I guess Kris isn't her biggest fan so she's relegated to watching over some old papers.

News of the Day
Politics: So a Belgian Senator is proposing (in jest) a sex strike until a new government is formed. I guess they've had no government for the last eight months. What?! Who's running the show? Bizarre, but even more bizarre is the notion that sexually frustrating the entire population will somehow result in a government. I think it would likely just result in A LOT of masturbation.
Your health: Syphilis - maybe you do and maybe you don't. Who knows - testing apparently isn't up to date. Hundreds of relationships were ruined in the states when faulty testing resulted in false positives. Can you imagine how many cheaters with syphilis are using this news to their benefit right now?
Hollywood: Apparently, ScarJo is hooking up withSmug Sean Penn. Seriously? This makes me want to throw up my stir fry. She went from Ryan Reynolds who, while admittedly having too much of a baby face for my liking, has a rockin' bod to basically leatherface. Blegh. What's up Scarlett? He's like your dad's age and I'm pretty sure he sleeps in a dehydrator every night. You're gross now - way to go.
The Fosters: Kris is making us paint on the upcoming long weekend. I plan to somehow sabotage my body so that I am incapable of making an up and down motion with my arms. Suggestions are welcome.

This one is for my BSGers
Ok this is a serious issue, but the giggles just can't be contained.

Oh, no! I can't give you that information! It's not my job to give you that information and now I must copy 10 people on this email to demonstrate to them that you did not ask the right person for this information. It is someone else's job to give you that information.

Oh, nobody in the whole world has that information. You can never know it.

Le sigh.
