bahhhh- so much to do so not enough time to do it.

I’ve turned to forced labor of the monkey child. He’s had to scrub toilets and kitchen floors.

And while sitting here filling up my mp3 player for several long ass flights I ran across a post at Pandagon about the embarrassing crap that manages to find it’s way onto our playlists.

So I am going to fess up.

Somehow, there is Avril Levine on my mp3 player. I do not know how it got there. I am scared that it might have been put there to torment me, to push me into insanity.

While I will freely admit that I like old Micheal Jackson (Don’t stop till you get enough is one of the most boogeying songs ever) and through Micheal Jackson, some Justin Timberlake. And while I am mortified to no end, I like No Doubt’s Bathwater.

But I don’t know where Avril came from.

So kids, I shared my darkest secret. Fess up. What artist makes you blush to the roots of your hair when they show up on your playlist?

Her Royal Highness (me) has to clean my house, do my laundry, pack, hem a pair of pants, shave things, get keys made, reassure the monkey that 8 days is not that long, recover from last night’s Battlestar Galactica & Grape NeHi marathon and you know, attend my own birthday party.

Needless to say- posting will be light today.

SO consider this a delurking open thread. Got something awesome you wanna blogwhore, drop it here. Are you new, did you just find us. Say hi, we’re mostly friendly.

And of course- any new I Am Hillary links are most welcome. I’ll put you into the We are Hillary Blogroll.

And while we are being Hillary, go check out Roxie’s World (best blog written by a 13 year old dog ever). Roxie is getting honorary Hillary status for her teary- making post: Hillary: A Valediction

Smooches!

Quick, run over to CNN and vote for Hillary in their little poll. Larry King is going to read the results to Obama when he is on his show. Wouldn’t it be grand to see the messiah brought down a bit by our favorite girl?

Now it’s the Four Horseman of the Atheist Apocalypse. And for reals, I may have just found my new religion. Or non-religion. Wevs.

“But I’m not a typical girl”

“But Europeans are so much more open about sex”

“I don’t like western religions because of all the crap, I’m a Buddhist”

“But you’re not like, one of those FOB Mexicans.”

“He’s so articulate”

Yeah- I call bullshit on each and every one of those lines. I have to admit, I used to be the exceptional girl. All my friends were guys, I was praised for my common sense and cause I didn’t act like the other silly girls. I took pride in the fact that the guys let me hang out with them and I have been known to say “I just don’t like other girls, they’re so catty”.

And then I grew up and started using my brain.

Over at Reclusive Leftist someone said something about how we Americans as sooooo backwards about sex and why can’t we just be like Europeans. Last time I checked the continent of Europe had not eradicated rape or sexual harassment. Hell, Swiss women were only guaranteed the right to vote in the early 90’s, I think. German mothers who work outside the home are called “ravenmutters” or raven mothers and are looked down on. Yeah so shut up with the Europe is better than you crap. You’ve just got different problems.

And Buddhism as the be all end all of egalitarian religions- nope. It is only with this Dahli Lama that being born a woman is no longer considered a punishment for sins in a past life. Oh and the poor Tibetans may have been a little reluctant to fight the Chinese because the Buddhist monks had been raking their cash in like the Catholic church. (Not that China shouldn’t get the fuck out of Tibet). And then there is the problem of Buddhist nuns, who are just house cleaners for the monks. Wouldn’t want to fill their brains with divine inspiration if it might interfere with the nuns makin me a sammich.

Exceptionalism peeps, is the process of patting someone on the head for acting out of “stereotype”. Watch out when someone says something that sounds like “but they are different from all the others” cause they probably aren’t different at all. It’s just a way to keep the people (or countries or religions, etc) from fighting back against the massive system of oppression we got pinning us to the floor everyday. If you are exceptional, then you can think the oppression isn’t sticking a tack through your middle like an insect specimen.

But then you’re just an idiot. The rest of us can see your thumbtack.

From Jezebel:

Women Are Underrepresented In Corporate America. Corporate America Is A Laughingstock. Coincidence?

Same could be said of politics.

So I have been trying to master a few phrases in French before I leave Saturday.

I can speak Spanish, Italian, Russian, Hindu, Farsi, even some Hebrew. (not fluently, but I don’t sound like a total idiot when saying “your mom sucks goat ass” in any of them)

But I cannot fricken say “I do not understand French.” or “Do you speak English” without stuttering, badly. I do better if I scream it out like I have tourettes.

“Je ne comprends pas le français! Je ne comprends pas le français!”

Ouyangdan says I’m just acting the part of a loud American tourist.

Je suis américain! Je suis américain

As if the French won’t be able to tell that before I ever open my mouth.

Lot’s of conservative bloggers have given Hillary the nickname “The Red Queen”.

Sweet. I’m so down with sharing it. You know why?

Cause bitchez get stuff done, and there is no bigger bitch than the Red Queen.

Its what’s for dinner.

Seriously though you peeps, what is up with all the unity speak? Why the fuckity fuck are we trying to lower our standards to attract idiots who voted for Bush. Why the fuckity fuck is “moderate” the ideal in this country.

We have had 8 years of conservative economic policy. We are heading into the Great Depression Redux. We’ve had our civil liberties stripped, our health and safety ignored (hello ecoli spinach, hello FDA that let’s drug companies push through dangerous drugs as long as they don’t interfere with the possible implantation of baby Jesus’ second coming embryo. ) We’ve got wars going on in 2 places and the rethuglikans want to start a 3rd one.

And you want unity? Are you slow?

Peeps, we have unequivocal proof that conservative ideas are nothing but a pile of horseshit wrapped in the remnants of our constitution (which has probably been riddled with bullets by the 2nd amendment dicks). And you want to entice these people by using their ideas?

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

The shitstorm our next leader is going to face is Katrina sized, and we ain’t got no levies.

Rethuglikans will leave us stranded in the superdome.

Screw the unity ponies, I want reeducation camps for the idiots who are claiming that we are in this mess because Bush isn’t a true conservative. I want the ass-licking “journalists” who make up McCain’s base to be sent back to J school. And I want the Obamabots to get a fucking grip. Why the hell would you invite people to your party who are just going to shit in your punchbowl?

Besides, I prefer my ponies apocalypse style, thankyouverymuch.
