No one annoys me more than Yvonne Pratt, Paula Deen and Ina Garten

Yet I still get that stupid Stonegable blog in my email inbox, I still get Paula Deen's magazines (although I won't renew when it runs out next year) and still watch Ina and get her cookbooks (although the last two have been the pits).  Why do I do this?  I don't know but I find them all uber annoying.  They believe themselves to be the "grand dames" of life and I guess they are.  That Yvonne is ridiculous who in their right mind makes a "vignette" on their kitchen table?   Well she does and anywhere else she can.  Paula Deen is hawking food, furniture and all kinds of crap and Ina well ugh. 

Not worth it

Ten years ago today the Iraq War started.  I don't think it was worth it.  Pinky is dead as are so many others, there are those who were grievously wounded, and my husband is not the same man he was when I married him. 

Of course Mr. Bates is not a fan of Baroness Thatcher

Just read an article from a UK paper that said the actor that plays Bates on Downtown Abbey is not a fan of Margaret Thatcher.  This is disappointing but not a surprise.  I don't know why actors are so liberal but for the most part they are. 

Why is VanderPump Rules a show?

I think life was better when we had  4 or 5 tv stations.  Bravo has to be the stupidest station on television.  They have this show called "Vanderpump Rules" about some woman who owns a restaurant in Beverly Hills where all these beautiful people work and the show revolves around the waitstaff.  I cannot believe that this is actually a show on tv.  No wonder our country is so screwed up.

Why are Sasha and Malia more important than John Paul and Mary Catherine

I find it funny that Sasha and Malia are more important in the world than my kids or anyone else's kids.  True the Sidwell Friends school has always had armed guards and when I was at Andrean, Dean Barancyk carried a gun.  However, that was a private school near Gary so things were different perhaps.  But why do those two brats warrant the need for safety when other kids don't?  I am just curious as the brats will never have any worries unlike my kids.  My kids will struggle, Mary Catherine will have to deal with the consequences of Obamacare but the brats will not.  I want the brats to have to suffer the consequences of their asshole father's decisions.

I want wine

I really do want some wine.  I can't have any until the 28th of November-Thanksgiving Day.  I think I'll make it okay, at least I hope I will. 

Another 4 years

I had hoped 4 years ago the scourge that is Barack Hussein Obama and his sycophantic press corps and followers would be a bad dream but I cannot seem to wake up from this nightmare that has been foisted upon us by the idiocy in America.  My flag will not be out anytime soon I am afraid and it may be 4 years until it is.
