some people are disgusting.

i've unfortunately had to deal with people like this in public while working...young, ditzy lifeguards yelling at a mother of 2 autistic boys to keep better control of them...however, there is a particularly ignorant and awful man who is on a nationally syndicated radio show. read the story and sign petition to get this total fuckhead fired.

On the July 16 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage claimed that autism is "[a] fraud, a racket." Savage went on to say, "I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' " Savage concluded, "[I]f I behaved like a fool, my father called me a fool. And he said to me, 'Don't behave like a fool.' The worst thing he said -- 'Don't behave like a fool. Don't be anybody's dummy. Don't sound like an idiot. Don't act like a girl. Don't cry.' That's what I was raised with. That's what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You're turning your son into a girl, and you're turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. That's why we have the politicians we have.

"

Savage also stated: "[W]hy was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], 'When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], "I don't know, the dust got me." ' See, everyone had asthma from the minority community."

Talk Radio Network, which syndicates The Savage Nation, claims that Savage is heard on more than 350 radio stations. The Savage Nation reaches at least 8.25 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, making it one of the most listened-to talk radio shows in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.




Someone created a petition to stop Michael Savage! Please fill it out...it takes a second and will hopefully be a step against someone who needs to be stopped:

i need to push that last blog down a bit

so i thought this might be fun for you to watch.

pretty boy floyd

for all of y'all who didn't see andy last night at the all star game with his fellow bleacher creatures, wearing a tux:

and this year's youtube sensation is...

my mom!?!

i just uploaded a new video to youtube and while perusing through my account, i discovered that people have been watching my videos. 10, 000 people have been watching my lame, juliet heavy, kid's birthday party videos. i didn't believe it, but upon further investigation i find that they can tell you EXACTLY how many hits each video got.

my mother's kevin spacey video has been hit 4, 775 times.

almost five THOUSAND people have seen my mother meet kevin spacey! she is basically chris crocker.

but this is the new video...despite my large, warewolf like teeth, it is a great and hilarious video.

*sigh

i am feeling really comatose right now so writing is possibly not a great idea despite the fact that there is a LOT to write about.

for instance, the fact that juliet fell face first (teeth first?) into my grandparent's couch. at first, the roomfull of people barely glanced her way, since as everyone who knows her knows she basically falls or hits her face or skins her knee once every five minutes. but my cousin keek had a real concerned look on her face, so i kind of ran over...andy picked her up and sat her down to check out the damage and he freaked out ("jesus chriiiiiiiist!") so i grabbed her and ran to the kitchen...deflected everyone from putting ice on it (don't EVER put ice on an open wound) and got some wet paper towels to hold on the booboo...through her screams and cries she managed to spit out not one...not two...but THREE gushing mouthfuls of blood. her lip was about the size of her foot, and her teeth were pretty fucked up. she was a brave little toaster tho. once she calmed down, her only concern was that she could no longer suck her thumb. my mother in law has her ins with the oral surgeon (where she works) so she got us in despite the late hour. she (juliet, not my mother in law) sat in the doc's chair like a grown up who has never had a doctor/dentist related anxiety attack (my first one was at age 3 so i'm hoping that she is NEVER like me) and even after he pushed her teeth back into place merely said "ouch, that HURT!" and "when can i suck my thumb again?"

i myself went into a traumatic shock coma/manic breakdown and then, due to the ginormous migraine, took a tylenol3 (codine). which was apparently not codine, but acid, because instead of sleeping, i started tripping, all night long. needless to say, after a day/night/day of no sleep and my entire world of being a mother violently shaken up(and then taking a panicky, horrifying acid trip that was probably god's way of making sure that i don't ENJOY taking perscription drugs), i'm feeling pretty awful and surreal right now.

on a totally unrelated (but somehow vitally important) note, i finished the 3rd and 4th installment of megan mccafferty's jessica darling series. they are fucking fantastic and i basically wish i WAS megan mccafferty. because not only did she write 4 amazing books, 2 of which i am totally obsessed with, but she has a blog that has her 10 year old diary excerpts in it. fucking awesome. PLUS, her diaries are basically the same as MINE from when i was the same age. however, i'm not an amazing writer who has created the perfect anti-heroine. maybe someday.

and fyi, juliet is doing well. she is sucking down oatmeal and scrambled eggs, but can't fall asleep (the thumb). every time she hurts her self (she just tripped and fell almost on her face this very second) and i overreact (*gaaaaaaaaaasp!*) she gives me her dirtiest look and says "i'm fiiiiiiiiiiiine."
