We watched the movie Coraline the other weekend about five times. Hey, I’ve got a three year old and she’s really into repetive viewing. Go figure. Anyway, the character Other Mother was one spooky lady! My daughter did not like her. Not one bit. Hell, none of us did. She was bad, bad, bad. (So sharp, you won’t feel a thing… shudder.)
So I’m watching the news the other day, and here comes ‘ol Nancy Pelosi.
God damn! I just about dropped my beer right then and there. Man, that one took a year off my life.
I looked over toward my daughter in case that mug splashed across our giant t.v. in HD scared her as much as it scared me. And, you know what? She wasn’t paying any attention at all. Even at three years old she already knows that when Daddy has on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer, it is something she best ignore completly.
Ignorance is indeed bliss.

yeah, Coraline has some scary hags in it.
I got an email yesterday that said WARNING: If you get an email that says “Naked Pictures of Nancy Pelosi” DO NOT OPEN it. It contains naked pictures of Nancy Pelosi.
From the Amazon review:
“His chapter tying Darwin to Adolph Hitler, Karl Marx, and Joseph Stalin was as well argued as anything I’ve seen since Art Bell first proposed his theory that sasquatch are biological androids built by draco-reptillian aliens bent on eating our gonadial tissues.”
