Letter to George Clooney

Posted in Dating, Entertainment, Gossip, Hollywood, Politics, tagged , , , , on May 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Dear George,

I’m sorry to hear that you and Sarah broke up. I really am. But part of me is happy about this. Because now, you have a chance to date me. Why? Well, here’s why…

  1. I’m smart, really really smart.
  2. Gorgeous. You’ll have to see for yourself to believe me.
  3. Have no interest in acting, so you don’t have to worry about my career overshadowing yours.
  4. I’m really into politics and I know what I’m talking about. I know you’re into that and you know what you’re talking about.
  5. I have never competed in a reality show or swallowed a scorpion. (more…)

Enough! Where’s the Outrage Over “White Bitch”?

Posted in Current Events, Democrats, Election 2008, Politics, tagged , , , , , on May 22, 2008 | 9 Comments »

I am getting so tired of the Hillary Clinton bashing campaign. Time after time I keep hearing derogatory comments about Hillary Clinton and the media seems to be turning a blind eye. When Don Imus made a racist remark about the Rutgers Women’s basketball team, there was a national outrage and he lost his job. I can think of at least a dozen media commentators that have made sexist remarks about Hillary Clinton — the first woman to come so close to a presidential nomination — and nobody seems to care.

So what’s the message we’re sending to women? That it’s perfectly acceptable to make derogatory comments towards women? I get it, racism is NOT ok. Why not apply the same standard to sexism? Why is it OK to treat an entire gender with this kind of hatred? (more…)

List of Annoyances…

Posted in Current Events, Dating, Hollywood, Life, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I’ve been meaning to write this list for a while. There are all these random things that bother me and I’ve been wanting to put all these items in one place. So here’s the list, in no particular order.

  1. Men who think it’s acceptable to ask a woman out by text messaging. I know this is acceptable for certain age groups — by this I mean under 25 — but I feel that guys should make a little more effort. I gave my number to a guy I met online and he keeps texting me to ask if I want to meet for a drink. First, he texted on Friday, to see if I want to meet up Friday evening. It’s a FRIDAY NIGHT!!! Even if I didn’t have plans, I would NOT go out with you on a Friday night. Then, he texted me Saturday night, to see if I want to meet up for drinks. Seriously? Do you really think if you text me at 6pm on a Saturday evening, there’s a chance you might see me? And today, he texted me for drinks on Tuesday night. Needless to say he doesn’t stand a chance. He obviously doesn’t know about the guy before him that ruined it for other guys to have a date on a Tuesday night. So I finally texted him back and said, “I’d love to meet up for drinks sometime but I really need some advance notice and a phone call to make a date.” Seriously… how lazy can you get? You already have the number, how about you use it to call.
  2. Ugg boots. I live in LA and I see a lot of girls wearing uggs in the summer time. I know they’re comfy, but there are plenty of other comfortable shoes to choose from. There’s no reason to wear Uggs when it’s 70+ degrees out here on a “cold” day. (more…)

California Overturned the Gay Marriage Ban… How Will This Impact 2008 Elections?

Posted in California, California Politics, California State Supreme Court, Current Events, Democrats, Election 2008, Entertainment, Hollywood, Politics, Republicans, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 15, 2008 | 4 Comments »

The California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage today. This decision makes me very proud to live in California. I think any two people who want to get married should be able to get married. For those arguing that gay marriage destroys the sanctity of marriage, well, I don’t think that sanctity exists  considering that almost 50% of marriages end in divorce. And when you take into account that luminaries such as Britney and K-Fed, Pamela and Tommy Lee / Kid Rock / Rick Solomon can get married — or when you watch every other episode of the Jerry Springer show — it’s proof positive that there is NO sanctity left in marriage. So unless the conservatives have a better argument than sanctity, this particular argument holds no value. (more…)

Who I Don’t Want to Meet

Posted in Dating, Hollywood, Life, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Every so often I get an angry message from a guy who reads my list of “Who I Don’t Want to Meet” on my MySpace profile. Usually, the angry men who email me like to point out that A) having such a long list is the reason I’m single, B) I must be a gold-digger because of item #6 on my list. I realize that the list is long, but it was created out of necessity. I kept getting emails from unemployed, proud parents, living 50+ miles away who had this unrealistic idea that I was a great match for them. Ummm… did you look at my profile? Why would you think a great looking single girl, living in LA, would be interested in a homely looking, 45-yr-old divorced guy, with kids, living in Oceanside. Seriously!!! (more…)

Jenna Bush Got Married… to the Nice Republican Boy, not the Latin Lover from Argentina

Posted in Current Events, Gossip, Politics, Republicans, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

When I first found out that Jenna Bush was getting married, when it was first announced in August 2007, I thought for sure she was pregnant. But I was wrong. I hate when I’m wrong. I was actually surprised when I found out she was getting married. It all feels like an orchestrated image makeover for the wild-child Jenna. After years of getting negative publicity, for things like underage drinking and dancing on tables, it was time for a makeover. As part of the image makeover, Jenna signed up for UNICEF, traveled to South America, found some time to teach elementary school, and wrote a children’s book about HIV. It’s like the Bush clan decided to give her the Stepford-Wife makeover. The same one Laura Welch Bush got, to cover for her teenage shenanigans. (more…)

If the Democrats Held Winner-Take-All Primaries… Clinton Would be Leading by Over 600

Posted in Current Events, Democrats, Election 2008, Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on May 6, 2008 | 10 Comments »

That’s right. Hillary Clinton would be leading by as much as 600*** delegates…

I was trying to figure out who would lead the race if the the democrats had a winner-take-all primary system similar to the Republicans or to how the Electoral College decides elections. So I put together a little chart, with the numbers. If Obama won the state, I gave him all the delegates for the state. If Clinton won the state primary, I gave her all the delegates for the state. I did not count the super-delegates. (more…)
