GOP Calls Emergency Meeting

The Boot (both) to the Republicans in the House who met in emergency Rules committee session today to discuss - not nuclear power, not relief for Japan, not the economy, not the budget, not jobs, jobs, jobs - no. Defunding NPR. The vote will be tomorrow, with no debate. NPR defunding is an emergency. I'd call these birds names, if I wasn't a lady. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-TN, was her usual quotable self. "This is what America asked us to do." If I, as an American, asked you to go to hell, would you? Pointy boots, size 23EEE, to the grand ol' party for their whacked sense of emergency.

The Boot to The Ladders

The Boots (both of them, at speed, from a great distance) to The Ladders for the ad campaign currently fouling our television screens. Does this outfit really think that employees who are able to earn $100,000/year want to see this ridiculous, unattractive, pseudo-pornographic nonsense? Ugh. Go back to ad school, junior ad types who created this muck. And call your mother.

Scalia Doesn't Believe Women are Persons

Justice Antonin Scalia claims in an interview in California Lawyer that the U.S. Constitution does not protect women against discrimination because of their gender. Scalia gets both boots. I wish these were pointier. Amanda Terkel reports the wording of the 14th Amendment. Scalia doesn't believe that women are persons or citizens apparently; otherwise the man can't read. How many women were in Scalia's Harvard Law graduating class? None. Women couldn't go to Harvard way back then. How many women professors did Scalia learn from? Also none. Will the day ever come when there are none of these troglodytes left?

Introducing the New Boot

Not same as the old boot. Two boots for added impact. I like these boots and the blog will enjoy wearing them. Classy, womanly with strong character. A touch vintage, a dash kinky. Lola would like. There's enough fussiness here with all those laces and grommets that I assume the wearer is fabulously well-to-do enough to hire someone to lace the things up. On The Boots first outing: Dove Men+Care commercials for foaming shower gel for cleaning - man hide. If I was a giggler, I'd be doing that. Skin must be too girly for men with hides to have. And what's body hair, I wonder? Man fur?
