still not dead

illinbut whoa, totally feeling like death would be preferable.

At least my doctor established that the weird skewbalding was due to a reaction to ibuprofen, so that’s it, no more exotic pharmaceuticals for me. I’ll stick with the Dong Quai and the aspirin, thank you very much. And the Ginger Tea. It’s true what James Barber said: it does get you high. So I guess you’re still sick, but you feel awful perky about it.

Vicarious Halloween Vid

Stolen from Gawker. Not as much fun as my Halloween,  but theirs apparently doesn’t take several days of bed rest afterwards.

Gawker cover’s an event that needs no introduction, the Greenwich Village Halloween Day Parade. Watch as “hundreds of artists, 53 bands of different types of music, dancers and artists, and thousands of other New Yorkers in costumes of their own creation” take to the streets to celebrate this year’s theme “The Village Hearth.” If you’ve never been then this is a definite must-go event at least once in your life.

Everything after 1848. This should satisfy all you conspiracy theorists, and should put a spur in the sides of those of you whose blog posts didn’t make it to my illin’ issue. Got to work harder next time! Here’s the roundup!

the history of tentacle porn

I freely admit this doesn’t do it for me, but there must be millions out there it DOES do it for, and for those millions I freely post the History of Tentacle Porn. I do find it fascinating that most of this is a response to overly-specific porn definitions.

Ann Coulter, 45-and-counting, violated, awaiting probe

Can I write an incendiary headline or, like, what, eh?

Ann Coulter, gag me with a spoon!

Everybody’s favorite right-wing harpy Ann Coulter, 45, appears to have voted fraudulently in the last federal election. An investigation has begun, with which she has stated she will not cooperate. Is it too much to ask that she be jailed for contempt of court? Contempt for the democratic processs and the ideals of the American Republic doesn’t appear to be jailworthy any more…

From the Palm Beach Post via Gawker

An alleged voting violation by GOP pundit and bestselling author Ann Coulter will be investigated by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer‘s office.

Arthur Anderson, Palm Beach County‘s elections supervisor, said today that he would refer the accusation that Coulter voted knowingly in the wrong precinct Feb. 7 in a town of Palm Beach election to the state attorney “within 48 hours.”

Anderson said that Coulter, since the allegations surfaced, made “efforts to distract and divert focus on the process regarding this complaint.”
