SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES

I am so sick of those dirty smokers.

I was walking down 12th street today and got caught behind a gaggle of puffing pusses. I mean, the smokey tail wind practically gagged me.

I just don't understand who in the hell would pay $9 for a pack of cigarettes that will ultimately kill you.

PS - actually witnessed people wearing masks on the subway today.

OH HAPPY DAY

With Arlen Specter's switch to the rival party, the Democrats are one step closer to having control of the Senate. And once Minnesotan Al Franken takes his rightful seat, the Democrats will have the coveted 60 votes to stop a Senate filibuster.

What does all of this mean?

It means Barak Obama can finally make some amazing changes.

SHADY PINES MA!

How will I live without Bea Arthur? I love this little clip on Rosie.

I LOVE PEREZ HILTON

I have always thought of Perez Hilton as a mean chubby queen - albeit one with incredible luck. I mean, only in America can you go from being a penniless blogger to a rich superstar overnight. But unlike most rich assholes, he wasn't afraid to rock the boat with his political views - and I now say bravo to him.

For those not hip to the news, Mr. Perez was a judge at the Miss USA contest. He asked Miss California her thoughts on gay marriage. Well, what came out of her mouth was not only hateful, but plain stupid. I applaud Mr. Perez for giving Miss California a big fat zero after her hateful opinion on gay marriage - which cost her the Miss USA title.

And is it just me or does Miss California look like a tranny?

DESPERATE THOUGHTS

Last night they killed off Edie on Desperate Housewives.

She died in a car accident.

For such a great character, I felt it was a pretty mundane way to die. I mean, the show is known for it's over-the-top story lines - couldn't creator Marc Cherry come up with something more titillating or exciting?

Or perhaps it is brilliant storytelling - to die in such a simple way on a suburban street.

I can't make up my mind.

NIGHTLIFE

I hate weekend nights in Manhattan.

Let me explain:

On Friday and Saturday nights, the streets are flooded with bridge and tunnel trash that spew their tackiness everywhere.

I don't get why they come here?

I mean, any self-respecting Manhattanite NEVER goes out on weekend nights unless it's to a private party or a very private club, so why do they come? It's not like they're partying with cool New Yorkers - they're partying with other tacky trash from their hometowns - so why not stay on the other side of the bridge!

I KNOW I'VE SHOWN THIS BEFORE.....

I know I ran this pic before...but I didn't run the after.

BETTE

I just found this video - fabulous! I mean, Mick Jagger actually looks rather cute - and Bette does a swell version of his song.

I LOVE DR. BRANDT

I love Dr. Brandt!  What a freak!  I mean, this tranny-wannabe is 60 years-old.  God Bless him.

NEW YORK MOMENTS

Living on the island of Manhattan can be tough - the crowds, the tiny apartments and the crazy cost of everything can get you down - but then a moment comes along that brings you back to reality:  Manhattan is the best place on the planet.

Let me explain:

I started out the day rather blue - another rainy day at a boring shoot.  I was planning on going to the gym and early to bed....and then the phone rang.  My friend called to inform me that I was on the press list to the star studded annual Dressed to Kilt event.  Within 60 minutes I was glued together and in the front row watching celebs - some minor - parade down the runway.  Susan Lucci, Kelly Pickler, Mike Meyers, Sean Connery and many more walked the catwalk in kilts celebrating Scottish pride.  I drank free Vodka martinis and hitched a ride home in a limo with a couple I didn't know.

The cost of a glamour evening - $0.  

Yes, call me a recession-nista.

FRUIT

Does anyone else find those commercials for Edible Arrangements creepy?

I mean, what are you supposed to do with an arrangement made of grapefruit, bananas and strawberries?  You can't show it off on the counter like a bouquet of roses.  I guess you have to look at it for 10 minutes and eat it.

Again, I find the whole concept creepy.

ECONOMIC WOES

This is what is wrong with our economy:

Prices keep going up, up and up, but wages and jobs keep going down, down and down.

For example: The MTA has voted to increase subway fares by over 25% and cut back on service.

What the fuck? I mean, charge more and get less? Yes, that sounds like a good plan.

Why are we putting up with this?

FAT ATTACK

I don't know what I hate more: fat people smoking or fat people eating candy bars or fat people smoking and eating candy bars.

Oh, yeah, and fat people smoking, eating candy bars and riding the elevator for one floor.

RUTH

I Can't believe that Ruth Madoff thinks she can get off Scott free.

I mean, does she really think she can convince people that she knew nothing of her husband's money madness.

Oh, please, anyone that knew that couple said they were joined at the hip. I mean, she's living in a penthouse with millions of dollars in the bank.

I say put the bitch in jail and make her scrub toilets.

PUT A RING ON IT

More Sarah Palin hypocrisy.

After singing the praises of slut daughter Bristol's - or is it Brillo pad - decision to keep her baby Papa Don't Preach style, little Brillo Pad announced today she is waving goodbye to the child's father. Oh yeah, she never married him like mama Palin said she would.

I guess being married to a kid named Levi and living in a trailer wasn't exactly what she had in mind.

So Brillo Pad is now an unwed mother - I would love to get Ann Cuntler's opinion since the Republican mouthpiece's current rage is against unwed mothers.

MADGE

OMG - with all the money in the world is this the best Madonna can look?

Isn't it bad enough that old Madge is making a fool out of herself running around with a 21 year-old boy?  

The answer is no. 

Now she apparently is  going to a surgeon that needs glasses.  I remember just a few years ago Madonna was making fun of Cher's pioneering surgery efforts....well, Cher looks pretty good compared to Madge's corpse impersonation.  

PARTY POOPERS

Those poor Republicans.

With no leader in sight, the party of fools have picked idiot supreme Rush Limbaugh as their leader.

I mean, wasn't it bad enough they picked old daddy McCain and Caribu Barbie to rule the world?

I guess not.

I'm laughing every day.

ENOUGH

Okay, I love Obama, Michelle and the kids.

However.

I am sick to death of the media's constant praise of the Obama's parenting skills.

I mean, what's the big deal?

Parents are supposed to be strict, read bedtime stories and give their kids chores.

GOOD LOOKS?

A new study released today reported that Sarah Palin's good looks may have turned people away from the Republican ticket.

I ask you: Good looking?

Hardly.

THE HUNT

I've been searching for a new apartment in Manhattan.

Yes, I know the economy is in the toilet, but with interest rates at an all time low and prices dropping, I feel this is my time.

Wish me luck.
