Keith Olbermann tells em why he's mad

Hillary Clinton really stepped in it today and all of the political pundits have been ripping her to shreds, but Keith Olbermann really let that miserable wretch have it during a special comment. He got her trifling azz for the old and the new and let her know that not everyone is being fooled by her games. Shame on you Hillary Clinton.

First Mike Huckabee makes stupid joke about Obama ducking for cover and now this. Surely these people cannot be this clueless about how wrong it is to even think this evil shyt about a man who has done nothing but seek political office- never mind how wrong it is to speak on it in pubic. It's like they are wishing him harm. Some White folks are quick to say that African Americans are too sensitive, but crap like this is why many of us have a short fuse.

Hold on Sweetie

Obama has been catching flack this week for referring to a female reporter as "sweetie." Normally, I hate when strange men use terms of endearment towards me, but can I just tell you that this fine, suave fugga could call me sweetie all day, and I wouldn't be mad. Now if he was some worthless troll, then trust that he would have gotten a good cussing. But Obama? Chile please. I would only hope that his wife wasn't around to give me the side eye of death for cheesing all up in her man's face.

Obama Apologizes to WXYZ Reporter

Related Links Peggy Agar Talks About Apology UPDATE: Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has apologized to WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar for calling her "sweetie" during a campaign stop Wednesday in Sterling Heights. Obama apologized in a voicemail he left on Agar's cell phone at 3:16 p.m: "Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I'm calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn't get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren't the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it. "Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next." LISTEN TO THE VOICEMAIL IN VIDEO PLAYER RIGHT (Voicemail is followed by video clip of the "sweetie" exchange) (WXYZ) - Reporters on the presidential campaign trail are buzzing about Barack Obama calling WXYZ's Peggy Agar "sweetie" during a tour Wednesday of a Chrysler plant in Sterling Heights. The comment came during a tour of the plant when the Democratic presidential candidate tried to brush off a question from Agar about help for autoworkers. "Senator, how are you going to help the American autoworkers," Agar asked Obama. "Hold on one second, sweetie," he replied, explaining he would answer in a later media availability. In a posting on the New York Times Political Blog titled "Obama: Hold On, Sweetie," reporter Jim Rutenberg pointed out this wasn't the first time Obama used the word: "Back in Pennsylvania in early April, Senator Barack Obama took some heat for calling a female factory worker 'sweetie,' in Allentown." Obama's comment to Agar has also been discussed by reporters for The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune, and Newsday.

Stir crazy....

I am so sick of being in the house. I had surgery on both feet two weeks ago, so I have to take it easy for the next few weeks. I cannot walk or stand for an extended period of time and have just been sitting around with my feet propped up. Sure it was fun at first while I was taking those painkillers and floating on a cloud somewhere over the rainbow, but I couldn't keep taking those things and risk winding up like Amy Winehouse - Beehives and crack mouth are not a good look. When I started twitching in my sleep one night, I realized that it was time to switch to extra Strength Tylenol.

My big adventure yesterday was going to Kroger and riding around in one of those little motorized carts while grocery shopping. I wanted to see if I could do donuts, but people were already staring at me, so I didn't. The other folks in the motorized carts, mostly senior citizens, were giving me the broman nod while rolling past me like we were in some kind of clique. I could see the others staring trying to figure out what (if anything) was wrong with me. Their eyes dropped down and I could tell when they spotted those hideous surgical shoes that I am forced to wear. Then it was like awwww. Hey, I don't need pity from a bunch of bored housewives. I felt like saying sure, I'm having some mobility issues right now, but I'll be back on my feet in a month and you'll still be ugly!

Being housebound is causing me to do strange stuff like watching QVC, the Home Shopping Network and Gems TV. I ordered a Bissell Steam Mop and am actually excited about getting it. How pitiful is that to be excited over a dayumned mop? But in my defense, I have a pissy dog and need all the help I can get with keeping the floors clean. I can't stand a nasty house, or a house that smells like dog.

Speaking of cleaning the house, a Merry Maids representative came over to give me an estimate. That woman said that it would cost $630 for two ladies to give my house a "Spring Cleaning." That's dayumn near the mortgage on my rental house, and it would only cover the ground level! If I wanted to just hire them by the hour, that rate is $79. Who knew that maids were making that kind of scratch? Shoot, I'm about to start scrubbing toilets in my spare time.

Other folks around here have people that clean their houses, and I know they aren't paying that kind of money. I'll hire a day laborer before I go out like that. One of those workers will probably do the whole house for $20 and a sandwich.

Where is our day?

Mother's day is coming up, and these desperate retailers want to make sure that you remember the woman who brought you into this world by giving her some stuff - flowers, a coffee mug, or maybe a lap top computer. My mother passed away a long time ago, so I feel kind of disconnected from this particular holiday.

I was just talking to one of my friends about this, and we both agree that there needs to be some kind of Aunts or Godmother's day. I am not trying to take anything away from you mothers because that's a hell of a job. Still, as an aunt, I have changed plenty of diapers (not recently though) and have been dispensing a fair amount of love, advice and cash. Where's my day?

I am single and childless, and for a long time me and my friends who had similar backgrounds would talk about how we were spending all this money on bridal showers, baby showers etc., and how we weren't likely to get an opportunity to have some of those things for ourselves. Think about it. When you're single and childless, the only recognition you get is on your birthday - if you're lucky.

I'll take the last Friday night in June. That's right around the beginning of summer and as good as time as any for a celebration. All we need now is an official drink and a spokesperson. Any ideas?

Dresses I like

I'm getting married this year. I have no idea where, and I'm not sure of the date since we keep going back and forth with our plans. I was going to have a small wedding in my new hometown in the fall, but now I am leaning more towards tying the knot in Las Vegas. I just don't feel like it makes sense to spend a whole bunch of money on a wedding and reception in this lousy economy. Vegas will be significantly less expensive, and I'll still be able to wear a pretty dress.

I've been keeping an eye out for dresses, but I can't buy anything until we decide on a venue. Plus, I need to lose some weight. I am leaning towards a sheath or an A-line dress in ivory. Anything more is really going to depend on where we get married. The designers I like the most are Maggie Sottero and Casablanca. They have a variety of price points and styles, and the destination dresses are very affordable.

Here are some that caught my eye:




Ines Di Santo Rohmy- Expensive and gorgeous. This is my dream dress.




Casablanca 1827. This is a very pretty dress and one of the first that I considered.




Maggie Sottero Gillian: Simple and pretty. It's fitted, but has some flare at the bottom.



Maggie Sottero Mandy (Destination) Maggie Sottero Jessica



Maggie Sottero Viera: I don't love that color sash, but this dress is very pretty. There are other colors available.




Maggie Sottero Kiri: This is a gorgeous dress, but I am not crazy about the spaghetti straps.



Maggie Sottero Phillipa: A gorgeous trumpet style sheath dress. Definitely not for the bootylicious.

I'm going to try start trying dresses on in the next few weeks and hope to make some progress with my plans by May. The whole process has been more stressful and involved than I ever expected. Sigh. I need a fairy Godmother with deep pockets and plenty of free time.

Man arrested for having sex with picnic table

At first I didn't see what the big deal was because it was his table and he was on his own property, but apparently this furniture lover lives near a school and children could have seen him. But a felony for poking a table? Unless some kid actually did see it, they need to give him a warning and leave the man alone. And the neighbor who taped the act is an even bigger freak.

Bellevue man facing charges for having sex with picnic table

BELLEVUE, OH) -- Police say a man in Bellevue, Ohio was caught on tape having sex with a picnic table.

Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.

The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex.

The most recent instance took place March 14, we're told. A neighbor videotaped Price.

"The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says.

Police say Price admitted to the crimes -- four charges of public indecency. Usually these sorts of things are misdemeanors, but in this case, they are felonies.

"What boosts it up to a felony is that the statute says if it's likely to be viewed by a minor," Johnson explains.

The Price family did not want to talk with us, but neighbors did. Some are not happy Price was released on his own recognizance.

"He shouldn't be allowed just for the fact that he could do that again -- and nude that close to a school. That should be zero tolerance," says Brice Jacobs, a neighbor.

Price is married with three school-aged children. Neighbors tell us they're now worried about the kids.

"Hopefully it stays between the adults and the kids don't get a lot of the information so they aren't so cruel to the little kids," says Emily Grote, a neighbor.

This case has police in this small town shaking their heads. "Once you think you've seen it all, something else comes around," Johnson says.

Happy Saturday!!!

Saturday is my favorite day of the week because I can do whatever I want in my own time, or I can do nothing at all. Today, I've been cleaning and listening to music and am about to head out to the park for some cardio since my doctor told me that my fat azz "could stand to lose 20 lbs." Gee, and here I was thinking that I was underweight.

Here are some videos to check out on this relaxing day. The first is Mary J. singing Just Fine live on the Today show with David Gregory performing on the sidelines. That's how I'm feeling today.
