1.) The Kardashian Klan:

For giving me something ridiculous to write about every week.  No writer can be more in debt to the Kardashians and their televised shenanigans than yours truly.  One week, Kim’s in love and she doesn’t care who knows it!  The next, she’s having the fairy tale wedding that she’s always dreamed of, complete with cameras and boom microphones.  Before I even had a chance to send her my wedding gift of a gold and diamond encrusted tissue box container, she files for divorce.  It’s incredible.  Every week, there is some sort of new issue/drama/fight/weight-fluctuation that makes the headline news; that I may conveniently mock for my own amusement.  Thank you, Kardashians, for televising your narcissism.  Without it, myself and so many others would actually have to try and find something of substance to write about.

One of the great things about being back in school is that I am being exposed to all kinds of interesting commentary about gender, the media and the way women are viewed in the world. A video that I watched in one of my classes last week really stuck with me and I couldn’t get beyond the way women were portrayed in the video clips. I am eager to hear how other people view this video and their thoughts on how sexism is still very much a part of our modern culture, how it is acceptable and how it engrains itself into our every day conversation.

Picture this:  You’ve just watched sixteen-year-old heartthrob, Justin Bieber, sing his prepubescent heart out at the staples center in Lost Angeles.  His white boy gangsta style, smooth moves, and lack of facial hair have got your heart beating faster than a hummingbird’s wings.  The fact that he could double for an adult lesbian also turns you on, because clearly, when it comes to picking out potential partners, you have questionable taste.

My dear readers, I come to you a broken woman.

Throughout the years, I have seen many beauty trends come and go.  From injecting your face full of poison, to shooting a laser at oh-so-delicate areas to singe off hair; it is apparent that women will do just about anything, no matter how painful, to make themselves appear “beautiful.”

Personally, if I was a man and I was approached hairless woman who was incapable of making an expression, I’d probably back away slowly and report to the CIA that I had a close encounter of the third kind. But I digress…

Have you ever dated someone and knew something was “off” but ignored those nagging little red flags? Then, before you knew it those little red flags turned into big red flags setting off major alarm bells? Well, the authors of The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags know all about that! Ladies, learn from their mistakes so you don’t have to make the same ones!

Who among us hasn’t gotten a little handsy?

I really was trying to stay away from this circus. I have commented on a lot of political scandals this year, as have my fellow contributors to twoday magazine, and I really wanted to let one slide. I figured, let’s see where this party bus is headed before I jump on.

And now NOM (National Organization for Marriage) is none to pleaseth.

So, I watch a lot of these videos and have posted a few that really jumped out as special. But how could I NOT post a video from God, himself? Okay, it really isn’t God (that would be pretty awesome, though) but it is a really funny video by David Javerbaum, a comedy writer and former executive producer of The Daily Show with John Stewart who recently wrote, The Last Testament: A Memoir by GOD.

And I ask, dear friends...WTF?!

Michigan Senate Republicans passed a bullying bill (which, by the way, had ZERO democratic support) that allows bullying, as long as there is a “religious or moral reason for their actions.”
