so, this woman had tried EVERYTHING to make lots of bacon for lots of people–”microwaving it, broiling it, and I even bought the precooked stuff so all I had to do was heat it up. None of these ways were quicker or easier and they certainly left a huge mess for me to clean up not to mention almost starting an oven fire one time.
But finally, I found a way that is quick, simple, and easy to clean up.”
so what did she finally try? what ingenius method of cooking bacon did she FINALLY stumble upon?
omfg, you have got to be kidding me. that’s a frying pan, right?
p.s. thanks to cupcake heartbreak for the link to the blog. frightening.

as if we needed another example of Sarah Palin’s hypocrisy.
note: regarding the categories, while religion and sexism isn’t explicitly mentioned in this post, how can i not tag something about Sarah Palin “sexism” and “religion ugh”?

“In honor of Dr. George Tiller, who often wore a button that simply read, “Trust Women,” this year’s Blog for Choice Day question is: What does Trust Women mean to you?”
because googling “roe v wade anniversary 2010″, “pro choice” and even “pro roe v wade” will get you nothing but “March for Life” sites and pro-life articles, i have decided to post a few links to some good articles here.
- Dr. Tiller talks about why he is an abortion provider
- some brilliant undergrads from MIT talk about why they are pro-choice
- The Feminist Women’s Health Center comes up with an answer to “What does pro-choice mean to you?”
- Sarah Palin is a notorious one of the pro-lifers who have co-opted feminist ideas and twisted them around to support the pro-life argument. this is infuriating because it’s not only intellectually dishonest, but it hurts women. before i fly off the handle and go on an epic rant, i’ll just give you the link to an article that picks Palin’s argument apart.
- pushing back against abstinence-only education–the Pro-Choice Public Education Project. PEP does a great job not only of educating young women about their sexual health and reproductive options (rights!), but also addresses the racial and socioeconomic aspects of the fight that are absolutely inextricable from the debate.
- here’s some FACTUAL information on abortion from Princeton Pro-Choice Vox–they also have a great page on contraceptive information.
- my personal post about reproductive rights. unfortunately, i think it’s my best work yet.
- NARAL Pro-Choice America. woot!
- National Abortion Federation. love ‘em.
- and, of course, Planned Parenthood! (FYI, a google bomb is in order, because in teh Googul, this link doesn’t turn up until page FOUR!)
- and for all the Christians out there–you CAN be pro-choice! it DOES fit with your theology! i totally mean it!
- if only all abortions could be this easy! and the women who got them were more concerned about Oasis getting their fan letter!
- here’s a somewhat less Roe-related post, but it has to do with giving birth and choosing it. so i’ll include it.
and be on the lookout for pro-life sites and orgs masquerading as pro-choice. if they were so confident in their morals and their argument, why would they have to be so coercive! and furthermore, from what i remember from my Catholic education, to “God” all sins are equal, none is worse than another, so isn’t bearing false witness the same as an abortion? just sayin’.
Happy Roe v. Wade Anniversary!

“[T]here’s no better training ground for politics than motherhood.”
-Sarah Palin, in Going Rogue
i feel like–maybe–we ought to ask Hilary what she thinks on that. maybe sexy sarah thinks that because she went and had five kids because the Bible told her to do her husband’s bidding and not to use any contraception and lost control of her home… but let’s humor her and briefly compare motherhood and politics. the old joke about politicians and diapers notwithstanding, how the fuck could she seriously make that comparison??
i need one of two things to happen: she needs to retire to Alaska and never be heard from again, or become a pariah in American media, held up for ridicule and for laughs. by everybody, not just the Left.
runner-up quote after the jump! (more…)

they can’t handle the U.S. release of a film about Darwin? really? i know it’s not balanced out with a film about creationism or intelligent design, but honestly. it’s not being forced on anyone, you don’t have to see it. so much fist-shaking about Teh Eebul Netchurell Sullekshun and Ebuhlooshun. yikes. oh, right, cuz according to that February Gallup poll, only 39% of Americans believe in evolution. holy shit, indeed.

jezebel always has an insightful analysis of the new Mad Men episodes the day after they air. obviously, they pay special attention to the portrayal of the women in the show, the situations they’re in, what their options are, how they react and what they were or might have been thinking. i always like reading those after seeing the episode.
this past episode was quite good.
the one question that i remember having after watching it was the scene at the end, when Roger confronts Don after seeing him in an awkward moment with Jane. Roger says that it’s dangerous to act too happy, saying that when one does it, it essentially makes him a target. Don says that Roger isn’t actually happy, he’s just pretending to be (or something to that effect.) shortly thereafter, Don walks by Roger and Jane slowly swaying on the dance floor after almost all the guests have left. Don walks past them and finds Betty out on the lawn and starts slowly swaying with her. i’m still trying to figure out whether that means that Don is also just pretending to be happy (more probable) or if both men are as happy as they can be, considering the time and their options.
anyhow, if you like Mad Men as much as i do, you’ll wanna keep up with these.
(here‘s the previous one, it’s about the same episode as the first one.)

i know there’s a joke about the connection between the conservative baby-machines that shop at Wal-Mart and the call here, but my weekend brain isn’t quite making the connection here…

Too much cheeseburger.
This picture is for my Mom. She likes frogs.

worst. haircut. ever.
i recently got a good 6 inches cut off my hair. i feel like G.I. Jane, but in reality my haircut isn’t that drastic. i mean, there are plenty of guys with longer hair than me, but luckily i still definitely look like a girl.
but my biggest fear in going with a short haircut was looking like a soccer mom. or any “mommy”-type haircut at all. this bitch’s hair is the perfect example of what i was afraid of. it makes no sense, it’s unflattering, it’s long in front and ugly and spiky in back–with all those different lengths, growing out that shit would be practically impossible. unless you shave your head, you’re stuck with that awful look until you die. and don’t get me started on those highlights…
also, this woman is an overbearing nag. no wonder her husband cheated on her.
*note: i don’t watch her stupid show, i’ve just seen her too often lately talking about her bullshit show, her litter of rugrats and her cheating husband (who is ugly.) but the worst part of all of it is that haircut. yikes.
a better look at that rat’s nest after the jump… (more…)
