The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    Want The Latest Mishegosse?

    Letterman Didn't Need to Apologize to the Girls. Sarah Palin does.

    posted Tue, 06/16/09

    Sarah Palin is one of the biggest hypocrites ever to come out of a political party that has spent the last 3-4 decades talking out of both sides of its mouth.

    First of all, lady, Letterman never mentioned your 14 year old by name. Why infer it was Willow? Why not go the whole hog and infer he meant your youngest daughter Piper? Hey, let's REALLY make Dave look like a dirty old man!!

    Nope, honey, he meant your eldest daughter. Remember her--the one you kept dragging out on public stages with YOUR baby draped over her baby bump? The one whom you trotted out with that lowlife boyfriend of hers in what was obviously one of the greatest shotgun engagements of all time? The one who's currently simultaneously admitting abstinence didn't work, and acting as a spokesperson for a chastity movement?

    Yeah, THAT daughter.

    You owe Bristol an apology for exploiting her life to win you points with your supporters.
    You owe Willow a big huge gigantic apology for smearing HER name all over the press and humiliating her. And you owe Piper an apology for trotting her and the others around with you all fall to remind people of what a wonderful mother you are--not.
    For that matter you owe your sons apologies too--your eldest for exploiting his military service and your youngest for making him a poster child for the anti-abortion loons instead of concentrating on making sure that he is getting every resource possible so he can develop to the fullest level a Downs Syndrome child can!

    While your kids were being used for political fodder--and then you complained about the press saying anything-- Sasha and Malia Obama were home. In school. Where they belonged.

    You should apologize to your kids, Sarah.
    But then again, when did the current crop of Republicans ever apologize for ANYTHING, take responsibility for ANYTHING?No, it's just blame, blame, blame.

    Get a mirror, Sarah. Stop preening yourself in it and fitting yourself for that "Queen of the Republican Party" crown and sash. Think about your kids for a moment.

    Then apologize to them. And take a step towards becoming a real human being instead of an opportunistic narcissistic bitch who'll use her family for her political ambitions.

    Try becoming a MOTHER.
