Giving A Damn
Oh, those wacky, crazy, zany Californians! Only they would come up with an idea like trying to go seven days without using obscenities! While there's no penalty for violating the about-to-pass resolution, the state has declared that during the first week of March, California will become a "no-cuss zone." Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, who proposed the legislation -- expected to pass Monday -- is perhaps taking a "strive for perfection, plan for shortcomings" approach, will deliver a cuss jar" to the offices of every lawmaker in the state. I'd like to take this a step further by suggesting that each of us accept ...
A Woman Scorned
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you, they're yours. If they don't, take out billboards around the country trying to shame them into realizing that you're more important than their wedding vows. That seems to be the logic used by YaVaughnie Wilkins, the mistress of tycoon Charles E. Phillips who, when dumped, spent a small fortune on billboards around Manhattan -- not to mention similar ones in Atlanta and San Francisco -- designed to humiliate the man for breaking her heart. Proving that men really don't see things the same way as women, Phillips told the New York Post that since ...
Fox News Is Rubber, Treason Charge Is Glue
“Treason” isn't a word that should be tossed around lightly, but it might best describe what is happening on a near-daily basis on the Fox News Channel, whose motto is “fair and balanced” despite their Senior Vice President for Programming's declaration that they are “the voice of the opposition” where the Obama administration is concerned. For some time, it's been clear to most rational Americans that Fox News commentators in general - and Glenn Beck in particular - are more entertainers than true believers in the stream of fear-mongering, fringe-friendly drivel they put forth each night. But at a certain point, ...

If I knew That, You’d Be Gone, Sister!
I was on a conference call with a group of approximately five co-workers when we somehow got off topic and started discussing recent promotion announcements. Jokingly, I made the comment that I obviously need to figure out who’s sleeping with who so that I could get a promotion as well. One of my co-workers spoke up, saying, “Don’t you know the right person to sleep with? Rumor... [Read more]
Couch Surfer
A friend of mine fell on hard times in August. I offered her my couch. Fast forward 3 months. She was still on the couch, getting $800.00 a month from SSI waiting on SSD, and I find out she is selling her pain pills for $700.00 a month. (Thats what got her off the couch.) She would shop for fancy shampoo , creams, and even bought a pair of boots. Meanwhile, my main job as a Realtor was slow due to... [Read more]
Dr. Douche, Medicine Man
Once was bad enough: You told me my pain and fatique MUST be caused by depression, so if I’m still ill in a week to come back and get on anti-depressants. Today was the straw that broke the camel’s back: You had your employee call me and question my symptoms, “because don’t you have gynelogical problems?” Wow. I’m deeply offended at your Victorian attitude toward... [Read more]
Big Baby
I am a 35 year old man in New York City, and like most New Yorkers, I have a roommate. She is 45. You’d think that she would behave as an adult. You’d think I’d get treated as an adult. That is not the case. I just walked into the living room and said her name, in preparation to ask her a question. She curtly ’shushed’ me like I was an unruly child and gestured toward... [Read more]
Monster-In-Law
My mother-in-law is the stupidest person I know and I am not saying that just because we don’t get along… she literally likes to play stupid beyond belief. She is by far the definition of stupid princess and my future sister-in-law is the same way. For the past three years, my mom has had to pull my mother-in-law out of debt because she pays loans with other loans and hands out cash to... [Read more]
Rude Retail
As a consumer, I try to be considerate, have the info I need when ordering, make sure I have the money I need in order to purchase what I need, and I rarely, if ever, ask sales clerks to break rules for me! Now, I love my job, but I am fed up with oblivious,lazy people! On a daily basis, they ask to take stuff from my store without paying. They expect me to be a mind reader, and, when I don’t...

Heat Miser vs Snow Miser
I work in a small office with several twenty-something princesses. Our desks are lined next to one another, and we sit in close proximity to one another for eight hours a day, every day. Last winter, on cold days, we would use space heaters next to our desks to keep warm. Now, Spring is here, yet while it is 60-70 degrees outside, one princess in particular is still using a space heater and it turns... [Read more]
