Mrs. Wiggins

I was looking for a funny photo to post, and as I searched my files, I realized I have really posted some pretty funny photos on this blog. (I think the best were associated with the posts I did about quitting my job last March.)

From an email:

Dear Abby,

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from
the beginning and, when I confront him, he denies everything.What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me.

It is so humiliating.Also, since he lost his job six years ago, hehasn't even looked for a new one.
All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruisearound and bullshit with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills.Since our daughter went away to college he doesn'teven pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian.

What should I do?

Response:

Dear Clueless,

Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman.

You don't need him anymore!

You're a United States Senator from New York running for President of the United States . Act like one!

The many levels of prostitution...

On Abbey 2 I wrote a post concerning a bishop from the UK endorsing the legal regulation of brothels. Brothels are just one aspect of the sex-trade industry. Movies such as "Butterfield 8" starring Elizabeth Taylor remind us there is a class structure within prostitution - not every prostitute works the streets or a brothel. (Think royalty and their concubines, the rich and their call-girls, or, as in previous days, women married off against their will into arranged marriages for money or property. Sounds like prostitution to me.) Nevertheless, prostitution in all of its forms is dehumanizing and degrading - not just to women, but all of humanity.

That ironic Mr. Brown...

What would we do without Spirit Daily?

Tonight, Michael Brown has one of his classic conspiracy theory posts about "hand signals" - their occult significance and how they have permeated the culture. Yet for some strange reason, he also has the above photo of the infamous "Piss Christ" by Andres Serrano on his main page - with no explanation or story reference. Maybe he likes it.

This hunting season...

Swill - don't kill. ;)

(I'm not really against hunting - it just rhymed.)

Health update...

I'm just now starting to feel a little bit better, but the nurse still won't let me out of my room.

I get really cranky when I'm sick...

Which is how I know I am not even close to being a saint.

Cathy is back...

Someone ran into her in the office breakroom. She said she just got out of rehab. Works for me.
