The Weekly Rant: Raley’s, BelAir, and NobHill markets

08.23.2010

Strip away all the hoohah, the pink and the blue, the booties and the pacifiers, and what you’ve got is a world in which women are valued for what their ovaries do and their wombs produce.

The Weekly Rant: Target in the Bullseye, again

08.13.2010

Here’s what’s P-ing me O, frosting my hide, and generally adding to my disgruntlement this week. Target: Yes, again. I made a trip to Target in Elk Grove yesterday because I needed (a) knickers, and (b) Benadryl. Yes, despite the fact that just last week, I vowed never to darken Target’s door again, which followed [...]

How Young Is Too Young to be Giving Us Advice?

03.29.2010

So how, I ask, (and yes, with a bitchy whine), have these young pups earned the right to be “expert” at anything? No, I don’t have my head in the sand. I know young hot actors, models and entertainers dominate the media. But now they get to be the experts too?

01.22.2010

Wanted: one taser that works through the television.  If I had had my hands on such a thing last night while watching the Newshour on PBS, I would not have suffered such a migraine headache and three cracked molars from clenching my jaw so as to not scream out loud, at… The Supremes who, in [...]

On French Pedicures

09.26.2009

Do You Twitter?

Potpourri – Fall version

09.19.2006

1. I got suckered into attending a Christians for Israel evening on Sunday, and I’m still mad.  At myself, mostly, for not trusting my instinct that the whole thing was a disgusting right-wing, fundamentalist scam.  Which it was and is.  Blech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.  I’m trying to be more present in my life.  Doesn’t that sound disgustingly [...]
