PETA And Their Message Of The Day: Exploit Women, Not Dead Fish

/ Anita Marie / 9 Comments

The American Veterinarian Association in Seattle, Washington asked the famous Pike Place Market Fish Throwers to open their convention – which is pretty neat because tourists from all over the world go to the Pike Place Market to watch the Fish Throwers at work and if I could get these guys to show up at one of my parties I’d be thrilled.

Now, if you’re not familiar with the Fish Throwers this may all sound kind of weird because indeed Vendors from the Pike Place Market do they toss and catch Fish- if you can’t quite see that think  tossing Pizza dough they toss fish.

It’s awesome.

But strange.

But this weirdness has been topped.

A Spokeswoman from PETA wants to replace the dead fish with Rubber Fish and then the Spokeswoman compared the fish throwing with tossing around dead kittens.

I don’t know who this spokeswoman from PETA  is- her name is Lindsay Rajt and she’s from Norfolk, Virginia still, stranger to me or not-  I would like to nominate her for Queen of The Dingbats- unless of course Lindsay Rajt thinks that she would be cruel to the  sitting Dingbat Queen to take her throne. She probably thinks it would be like cutting the legs off of a Giraffe or something like that.

For real, how did Lindsay Rajt find this event? Did she GOOGLE dead fish and throw? My friends and I GOOGLE weird stuff just to see what we  can get, but when that’s going on we’ve probably been  drinking and want to see who can write the idiot post of the night- so we’ve got an excuse.

But I was wondering: after PETA attempt to save the dead fish at the Convention are they going to go to the Pike Place Market and toss fish heads soaked in super glue at the tourists and Fish Vendors? From there will they go on and liberate Goldfish from their bowls held captive by gawking Kindergarteners and Preschoolers across the rest of King County?  

If what PETA want is attention they shouldn’t be trying to scam free press  by making a scene with the Pike Place Market and the people who work there.  SOME people have to work for a living- not all of us can get money from PETA by  showing our  naked  butts on billboards to help them further their agenda.

The thing about the RNC is this-

they are not funny.

Somebody needs to tell them that so it may as well be me.

In a recent smear ad the RNC went and compared Nancy Pelosi to Pussy Galore from the James Bond movies.

Here is the deal.

Unless you’re my parent’s age and saw Goldfinger back in 1964 and over the years force marched your kids ( thanks Mom and Dad ) through repeats of Sean Connery’s James Bond movies every time they showed up on the TV and  then on video  it pretty safe to say anyone say under the age of 40 is going  to look at that Pelosi ad and say

WTF?

I mean if their idea was to stoke up the Senior Citizen Base by comparing Nancy Pelosi to Pussy Galore- who, by the way was never the iconic figure that Ursula Andress is – (ask your Grandparents about that one) then in theory that could work.

 But the stoke job probably won’t work on anybody born after 1980.

People born after 1980 live in a world where it’s acceptable to buy computer  games as Christmas  gifts where  Characters beat up hookers for extra points and it’s acceptable for girls to perform a little something in their Prom Dresses called “freak dancing”.

RNC people need to pay attention here:

The world now exists in a time where degrading women has been taken to a new low and it’s a sure bet that  the RNC’s ” Pussy Ad ” ad will never show up on the potential voter’s radar in the way they hoped it would.

However as 44 year old who knows exactly what the RNC was saying to Nancy Pelosi and to the rest of us ” uppity women’

I would like to quote the anonymous and now famous 5 year old who once said,

” I know what you are, but what am I?

Swim Suited For Hell

/ Anita Marie / 4 Comments

tide

I never used to stress over the Swim Suit issue.

It’s not like I look good in them, but ages ago I used to like to go to the beach so I wore one – I mean, it’s not like anyone looked at me so who cares- right? I wanted to get some sun, I wanted to get into the water so I wore a bikini.

And then a few years ago my  friend suggested we go and get fitted for swim suits- you know by a professional.She does this every year – not because she doesn’t know how to dress spiffy- it’s because she looks great and has a hard time making up her mind

However, I knew I was in trouble when the ” Professional ” turned out to be girl who made Kate Moss look obese.

So the Professional pulls all these one piece things off of the rack and tells me these will be work with my flaws. She’s pointing out my ‘problem areas’.

Apparently I had a lot of them.

The suits were all one piece things, they were all black and they all had these pastel flower prints on them.

A few even had these skirts- Jesus Wept, skirts?

“If my Grandmothers saw me in any of these they’d ask me why I was dressing like an old lady. Okay, look whatever, do you have anything with some color? I mean…these are all black.”

” Colors are not going to work with your body type, black is slimming and more complimentary to a figure like yours. “

And then after handing me the old lady suits she turns to my friend and starts talking about the lovely selection of new suits that just came in that would look just  ‘ beautiful’ on her.

Just as the Professional  made for the center racks- you know where all the pretty suits are and before my friend, who is not one of those Customers you want to mess with,opened her mouth took the Salesperson’s head off-  I dropped the suits at the the ” Professional Fitter’s”  feet and said, ” to bad they don’t make things like that to demphasize a lousy personality.”

So what brought this on today?

I found out the store that told me to spare my fellow Beach Visitors the pain of having to see me in a swim suit by wearing something that maybe, if she were to go blind and didn’t know what she was putting on my Grandma wouldn’t have touched with a ten foot pole….

went out of business.

All I can say is

YAYAYAYAYAAYYAAAAAYYYYY!

What The Heck Was I Thinking?

When I was 13 years old I was the biggest freak in the world.

I’m talking a world class freak.

A freak with ugly hair, bad teeth and  bad timing because I never got anything right.. oh and did I mention I looked like a freak too?

If you must know this phase of my life lasted well into my 30’s.

Now that I’m in my mid-forties I can get away with the same stuff because on top of it all my hair is turning grey and I just look like an eccentric old lady.

Anyway.

All of this started when I was 13.

So what did I do tonight?

I joined a facebook group made up of

-you got it-

People I went to Junior Highschool with and some of them knew me when I was 13.

Kill Me God.

Kill Me Now.

Have You Hugged Your Governor Today?

/ Anita Marie / Leave a comment

nope

I’ve had a lot of fun at Sarah Palin’s expense…which must at least give a chuckle to those Vampires at the RNC who got stuck buying Palin a bunch of new clothes and her husband’s silk boxer shorts…

but in the middle of the train wreck that was Sarah Palin-

 my State re-elected our Governor- Chris Gregoire- and Gregoire is a Governor we can be proud of.

Here in Washington state we don’t have to wonder what Gregoire will do to us on the world stage everytime she opens her mouth- and we can also not worry about the fact that a very large percentage of the population sits around praying like crazy for her to say something stupid for a cheap thrill.

When Gregoire’s  challenger- a Bush Light chucklehead who thought he could win a campaign by saying Chris Gregoire released sex offenders in the community  who in turn were waiting to molest your children-Gregoire didn’t go nasty back on them.

I would have.

And it would have involved toilet paper, eggs and underwear hanging from somebody’s trees.

But then again, no one would ever elect me to anything.

Anyway.

Governor Gregoire stuck to the issues, she acted with class and she has always done right by us here in Washington and in the end she won the election.

Which makes me feel good to know that if you do the right things good things will come back to you.

So

Gov. Gregoire if I haven’t said it before I’m glad you’re our Governor

and Alaska all I can say is…

Thank You

for Sarah Palin

in these trying times we could all use a laugh- a good one- and in

 Sarah ‘Caribou Barbie’ Palin you have given us that.

Reactions from Palin / McCain Rally

from the Huffington Post

At a McCain rally on Monday, television stations caught audio of a crowd member calling Obama a “terrorist,”while Dana Milbank reported that “[o]ne Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, ‘Sit down, boy.'” Also on Monday, at a Palin rally, one member of the audience yelled, “Kill him!“

Palin / McCain Cause Voter’s Brain To Explode

/ Anita Marie / Leave a comment

Hi.

Anita isn’t going to do a post today because she read the article posted below and her brain exploded.

In case you’re curious

read it with caution.

Remember what happened to Anita.

Ick.

On NPR this morning:

NPR: Given what you’ve said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin for advice in a foreign policy crisis.

MCCAIN: I’ve turned to her advice many times in the past, I can’t imagine turning to Senator Obama or Senator Biden cuz they’ve been wrong, they were wrong about Iraq, wrong about Russia…

NPR: But would you turn to Governor Palin?

MCCAIN: I certainly wouldn’t turn to them, and I’ve already turned to Governor Palin particularly on energy issues and I’ve appreciated her background and knowledge on that and many other issues.

NPR: Does her energy qualification extend to the international energy market?

MCCAIN: Of course. Of course. That’s what it’s all about. It extends to a broad variety of issues from her worldview to threats that we face, to radical Islamic extremism, to specific areas of the world. I’m very proud of her, and proud of the knowledge and background that she has.

The Lament Of Sarah Palin

/ Anita Marie / 3 Comments

 

From the amazing Ronnie Ray Jenkins…this is

 The Official Caribou Barbie Song…

meant to be sung out loud and shared as often as possible.

a.m.

from Ronnie Ray Jenkins site HERE –

I never was a fan of politicians, and now, I’m even less of one. So, I felt rather “patriotic,” and decided to perform a song for all of my readers. Enjoy it, sing it, send it around, and this time around, I’m hoping people “think” before they vote.

The Ballad of Caribou Barbie

There’s something fishy in the mackerel sky–in the land of the midnight sun.

There’s a woman running loose wearing designer glasses, and touting a mighty big gun.

Now that much don’t scare me, or worry me none,

I don’t even care that she’s talking in tongue.

Say oily-oily –doo, dilly-dangle-diddy-wah

oily-oily-doo-dilly-arbee

She put a town in debt- in her short time as Mayor, and her name is Caribou Barbie.

She piles her hair high on her head and uses a bearskin to cover her bed

She claims to be an expert in foreign relations, cause she can see Russia from the window in her kitchen.

Say-oily-oily-doo-dilly-dangle-diddy wah

Oily-oily-doo-dilly arbee

Her hubby’s some dude, but his name isn’t Ken

Even though she’s Caribou Barbie

She tells the folks, she’s a decisive kind of gal,

And it makes me think of Bush, the “Decider”

Now, I’ve been around the block, and I’m nobody’s fool,

But I’m scratching my head wonderin

Why she went to six schools.

Sing Oily-Oily doo dilly-dangle diddy wah

Oily-oily-doo-dilly arbee

Four more years would be McBush again, along side Mc Caribou Barbie.

She might be a hockey mom to some, the leader of the PTA to others,

She might be a lipstick wearing pit bull to many

But taking a close look, she’s a lipstick wearing Cheney.

Sing, oily-oily doo,

Dilly-dangle-diddy wah,

Oily-oily-doo- dilly arbee

So, ends the saga it’s short and it’s sweet, like the career of Caribou Barbie.

Repeat Chorus.

Tina Fey expandedon Sarah Palin’s Couric  Interview questions on SNL last night.

Here’s the deal, this skit is a wonderful example of  ” It’s funny because it’s true “.

Now if you’ll forgive I’m going to do something to fight off the headache that I got in my eye after I realized how ‘true’ this skit is.
