Presenting…The Cotillion!
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a woman of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith
And I was ’round when Emperor Misha
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Ace
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game *
We ladies have gathered together for the presentation of these dazzling darlings of the blogosphere, and yes, proper etiquette dictates that you shall kindly direct your devoted attention to each of these fine young women! Please, gentlemen callers, remove your hats indoors in their presence! I do declare!
So, on to the lovely ladies! (No, no, not on them…oh, nevermind. Bless your hearts.)
Laziness, indeed. Florida Cracker finds a bit of (well, unsurprising) journalistic laziness in a “would-be moving” story in the Houston Chronic(le). Nice try there, buddy boy, but no cigar.
and political thinkers, to pronounce the brain death of socialism. Norman Tebbit
Girl on the Right certainly is the RightGirl to show us how silly unions are. Whining about the Blue Man Group? Because they’re eeevil American Kapitalists? Obviously if that’s a big complaint to the socialists, they’re pretty much, as RightGirl says, in “a socialist utopia.”
Ilyka Damen takes on food moonbats and their irrational opposition to genetically-modified foods. Hey, weren’t those wackos freaking out in the 70’s and 80’s about worldwide famine and doom? Now they oppose a viable solution to starvation, apparently because someone might turn a profit (the horror!) in the process. Go figure, eh?
Kellipundit finds proof that Rhode Island drivers are, as she suspected, the worst in the country. (Left-turns on red are practically legal, it seems.) Fortunately for all of us, she’s only got a few weeks left there to make it out of there in one piece.
You know how at certain blogs (I’ll leave names out of it), it seems like every other day there’s yet another “NSFW” picture of some model or starlet? Never fear, SondraK is here to even things out. “Just because.” Here’s another for y’all from me, “just because” fair is fair. This post, however, is perfectly safe, unless your work can’t tolerate moonbat humor. ;-)
And the Jedi point of view is not the only valid one. *
Little Miss Attilla writes a great review of Revenge of the Sith that’s made me actually think about going to see it, where I really didn’t care to before. Rather than the usual “this is what happened” review, she writes of the psychological and philosophical story in the movie, that of the transformation from good to evil. I can already see the clumsy lefty undertones. (Typical Hollywood.)
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,… *
Mamamontezz’ post shows yet another stupid activist judge, yet this one didn’t make the kind of ruling you might expect. This time, it’s about a judge in Indianapolis who has ruled that some parents cannot teach their nine year-old child their religious beliefs. Ugh. Idiot!
for his own inheritance. [Psalms 33:12]
Merri muses upon the immeasurable blessings our children have as Americans, particularly in contrast with the children in Afghanistan and Iraq, where their lives are in grave danger every day. While we spend our time thinking about trivial things, those brave children stumble across live weapons and (as I noted here) are used as props for terrorists.
Stacy, a.k.a. Not a Desperate Housewife, writes about the importance of personal responsibility, and what can happen when caution is thrown to the wind. Even though we always have the right to our safety and to “say no,” acting responsibly is always the wise choice.
With this, my fair ladies and gentlemen callers, I bid you adieu and affectionately request that you direct your faithful attention to two other groups of lovely ladies, courtesy of the charming and talented Miss Jody and Miss Janette!
It has been my greatest pleasure to (cough) entertain (cough) you!

I’m just not having a good week.
I’ve been in Hell since a week ago Saturday.
I’ve wasted hours on the phone.
