I'm a DC-area mother with an over-developed sense of irreverence, ADD, socialist tendencies and a blog. All my opinions are entirely my own and not representative of anything officially sanctioned by any political party, my mother, or arbiters of common sense and good taste.
Obama loses his cool during the State of the Union and tells Congress to go fuck themselves. The FCC shuts down production on all Real Housewives franchises on the grounds that they’re neither housewives nor real. Texas attempts to secede then is hurt when no one tries to stop it. Matt Lauer leaves the Today Show. Anthony Weiner thinks this might be his big opportunity for a comeback but sends the wrong kind of “head…
Yesterday, stark.raving.mad.mommy. and I gave you the Special Douche Categories that we invented for people who were too evil to be mere douches. We know douches and the folks we discussed yesterday are not just your average feminine hygiene accessory.They are more like some sort of torture device and I wouldn’t be sad if all of them voluntarily locked themselves in little cages for the rest of forever. (I find it interesting that she and…
We asked for your nominations for the biggest douches of 2011, and boy did you come through. In a joint production of Mom-In-A-Million and stark. raving. mad. mommy., we bring you the Top Ten Douches of 2011. (Cue jazz hands.) If you can’t remember who the biggest douches of 2010 were, here’s our list. This year was actually actually a little light on douches and way heavier on pure evil. That’s kind of a bummer:…
My latest So Here’s The Thing column is up at the Washington Times Communities page. This week I take on the forthcoming Leg playsets aimed at girls. I like that they’re less slutty than Bratz. Obviously, what the Lego people are doing is trying to get a foothold in a lucrative segment of the market: girls who play with toys. They feel like girls have been a minority of their customers and they want to…
Oh, the magic of the holidays! The music! The twinkle lights! The latkes! The totally whack shit available on the open market for your gift giving pleasure! If we ever needed any more evidence that we live in a free market society that rewards creativity and free expression, this list should confirm it for us. Because I do not think the North Koreans will be getting anything this whack in their stockings this year. …
I have a new So Here’s The Thing column up at the Washington Times Communities site! This week I’m waxing profound (snort) about how I haven’t heard ANY kind of holiday greeting so far this year. I’m afraid the Politically Correct war of the Holiday Greetings may be over and the greetings lost. Since then, I’ve been part of Team Happy Holidays when tossing about pleasantries unless I have direct personal knowledge of what holiday…
I’ve been meaning to write about All American Muslim for a while. The show debuted on TLC right around the time I wrote about my misgivings about the Duggars and someone who commented on that post challenged me to compare the roles of of women in the families on All American Muslim with the roles of the women in the Duggar family to prove that I’m really about about women and not just anti-Christian. So…
To the tune of You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch: You’re a douchebag, Mr. Douche. You’re a douche0y douche-y douche! OK, parody song lyrics clearly aren’t my strength. But I know a lot about douchebags! And stark.raving.mad.mommy. and I are ready to call a douche a douche again this year. So I hereby open nominations for the Top Douches of 2011! Who douched it up this year? Kim Kardashian for bailing on her made-for-tv marriage…
I have a new column up over at the Washington Times Communities today! (Amazing that I’m doing any writing at all given that my son’s desire to be 6 inches from me at all times, including while I clean the bathrooms, is crossing the line into stalker-ish behavior). It’s all about the Elf on the Shelf and how I think he’s creepy. You may have heard some of this from me a year ago but…
