A JOB
I needs one. Do you think that by insulting the editorial staff via dissing on virtually ALL of the columnists at my local paper will get me one? That's what I am hoping. I wrote the Eds. of our local and told them what they NEED is a local controversial columnist----that I am sick unto death of the mommy columns, the old man columns and the dull as dirt Mc.....person.

good tactic?

I mean, Ann Coulter DOES sell books, right?

Not yet...I will, though. Am entering a contest soon---will enter under my middle and mothers maiden name so they don't think it's ME. Dear lord, that would be tragic!

Well, apparently Rachel Maddow got into the media by entering some kind of contest. Now she has her own radio show and TV show on MSNBC. I love her.

I hate the word "Bullpucky" and cannot watch Rachel Maddow because she uses it CONSTANTLY.

Adults actually say "pucky" when they're not speaking to 3 year olds?

Well, aside from being extremely bright, she is also very entertaining. Yes, it's a silly word, but if that is the only reason you don't watch her show, you are missing out. And I have only heard her use it a few times recently, when talking about the financial meltdown and the rescue package.

Did you tell them you are a crazy bitch? It might help.

I'm hoping it will come through in the missive. Cross your fingers for me!
