Meth is a huge problem across the entire country, and normally, I'm a total pacifist. But... This 60 year old woman I work with lives on a farm way outside of our town, and was being harassed and followed by some men who where squatting and cooking dope in an abandoned house near her home. One night while walking to her truck, which was parked by her barn, one of these men came out of the dark and struck her across the face with a tree branch. This woman is the sweetest, nicest person you could imagine, and she somehow managed to fight this man off and crawl into her truck and lock the doors. He beat the windows of her truck and broke two of them before she managed to drive away. It took the police nearly a week to find the guys who did this. Honestly, when someone is this far gone on this particular drug, I feel like they really have lost their souls, if such a thing exists. So yes, I can understand totally where this man is coming from, and you better believe that if what had happened to my friend happened to me, I'd be the first one in line to get a gun.
@NowhereGirl: People on meth really do lose it, but I don't think you need an AK to stop them. I promoted your comment just because dealing with people on this drug is 100 times worse than anything I've ever seen, and I'm including crackheads. It's crazy.
Jon Gosselin is rebelling like a teenager. It seems like he thinks that by doing the most dramatically different things, he'll shed his unhappy divorcee skin. I just hope he's there for his kids.
@The Queen of No: I'm sure he'll be there with his kids, when he's not partying in France or living in his new Manhattan apt. I mean, two, three days a month, he'll totally be there for them! If he has the time.
I was just holding my breath hoping that the reporter would correct the asshat in the first clip and inform him that, actually, this is not a Christian country. Betrayed by the media, yet again.
I'm really sick of Paris denying all the things that she is caught on tape doing. Yes Paris, you are a really nice, sensible, smart, charitable, good girl that is pure as the driven snow. I get it.
I wish she would just take some responsibility and say something like, "I made a mistake. It was stupid. I learned my lesson and I won't do it again." Or "I like to have sex and go out and have a few drinks. So what?"
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Yes! Own it, apologetically or unabashedly, but own it already! We all know she did those things, many times, often with video footage (remember the time she lifted her high-cut dress and showed her vulva right after Tara's boob-spill?). She needs to stop pretending like she is/was someone different.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I am actually almost infuriated by her comment to Kathy Griffin that she 'never puts penises in her mouth, because her mom taught her that only ugly girls have to do that'. There is so much wrong with that statement!!
But, to your point, I guess she figures that if she pretends long enough that she hasn't done these things, they will just go away. Instead of, you know, accepting them and moving on.
@AnotherJenn: Yeah, I thought there was video of her like that somewhere. It is actually very hard to doctor footage like that. You have to do it frame by frame to make it look convincing and it takes a very long time. I work at a production company where our editors have had to "paint" things out of a shot and it takes them days to make it look good (and our editors are very good!). I have a hard time believing that paps or entertainment shows would spend the time and energy to do that.
He's right about the huge meth problem in Missouri, though. When I was 13 and living in a tiny little town (250 people, two meth labs, corn) there was an arrest on my front lawn - some bounty hunter pulled over some drug dealing kid onto our yard. Freaked me out.
And for the record, having grown up in a place where people bring hunting rifles to school in the back of their cars year round, I am extremely anti-gun. I'm ok with hunting season, since deer are seriously overpopulated and a huge safety hazard, but there is no fucking reason to be handing out AK-47s.
Of course, many people would disagree with me. Before I went into college, I was discussing my plans with a couple I babysat for. I thought, at the time, that I would do political science - and they said (and I quote) "Well, as long as you support God, guns, and babies, we'll vote for you."
We have a huge meth problem in Houston (and every other drug you can think of) and I seriously need a truck and an AK-47 altho an Uzi would be easier to put in my purse. Might take a road trip to Missouri.
Paris Hilton, the word "vagina" is not disgusting. It's part of your anatomy. It's not a swear word. It's a part of the female anatomy. It isn't dirty or gross or something to giggle about on its own. It's a part of your body, and it's a part of my body, and it's a part the body of half of the people in the world. STFU. Stop talking shit about my body, you great praying mantis of a woman.
@elliebean: LOL! Yeah, that was pretty weird, even for a bunch of igloo-living, donut-eating, moose huggers like us ;) (I actually had an American client call me that once!)
How did Paris Hilton get her hands on Breathless Mahoney's gown? And how kickass would it have been if that CNN anchor had said, "Yeah, I do have a fucking problem with god as you define it, and yeah, you are fucking confused you dumbass! And wild bill cartoons belong on drunken frat boys who have fallen asleep during a misguided trip to the tattoo parlor. Now get me my meth!" The answer to that last question, if you're wondering, is very, very, kickass.

I can only hope that Z and Vielpunkt will forever remain a model of undying homo-penguin love.
