What have I got to loose at this point...a re-run of Dallas and a pint of icecream?

Some good conversation pieces include:

Hey Blogger, WTF??

So my mother is a political mastermind and has her own blog. It recently came to my attention that, last February, she posted a thoughtful entry about a controversial subject and was unfairly censored. Her entry wasn't hateful. Her comments were just common sense thoughts on a current event. I mean come onnnnnnnn.

Isn't it our right as bloggers to respectfully speak our minds?? Isn't that the point of having a blog? This is so disgusting and disheartening. Blogger didn't even give her an explanation as to why her entry was removed. My faithful mother has a right to blog about current events whether you agree with her or not. I don't appreciate the orwellian twist of deleting her harmless blog posting. Her comments were no more dangerous than the ramblings of John Stewart on the Daily Show.

F U blogger censorship. I want my America back.

Saturday Looks Good To Me

Saturday Looks Good to Me sounds good to me.  This bad is a refreshing taste of the 1950s and has a clear crisp sound.  Listen to Hiding off of the album Sound on Sound and get ready to boogie.

Padma Lakshmi - 97% There

There is no question that Padma Lakshmi is one of the most beautiful unique womyn in media at this time. I respect the role she plays in the culinary world and love that she can poke fun of herself on 30 Rock.  What bothers me about her is two fold...one superficial and one as a role model.

Let's be shallow first. W.T.F is up with her mind blowing style this season.  On tonight's episode the pregnant Lakshmi wore a black dress that had cut outs in the arms and at the collar bone.. but this is not surprising.  This entire season Padma has been disappointing me with her wardrobe selection.  She's teetering on desperation on an almost weekly basis.  News flash Padma...you're gorgeous, successful, and have no taste.  Please, PLEASE set a better example for the nation's youths and class it up a bit.  No more cut outs, mock turtlenecks or velor.  You have every advantage and are classy on every other level...now let's just apply it to your wardrobe. 

My second not so shallow concern is the amount of scandalous photos there are of Padma floating around.  I get it, you need to build your brand and that sells, however you're on a different circut.  How about treating yourself with a little more respect then you nude licking chocolate off of a spoon?  Listen Padma, I'm saying all this because I believe in you.  You don't need to sell out to keep your brand alive.  The beauty and intelligence you process was enough to get people interested in you.  Don't go this route.
