When did ninja become a dirty word?
Take away the money and celebrity and what you are left with is trailer trash.
Apparently not! To rehab with you!
Honestly, I only look contemptuously at Lohan passing out in a hotel hallway because I wish my career would get a boost every time I did that.
That's the geography lesson for the day
This isn't about therapy. It's a latter day, somewhat secularized version of an old institution. Penance. When you sin, you live an austere, shamed, private environment. At some point in the future you emerge with your sins absolved.
Nigger becomes "The N-word" but you have no problem fully printing the F-word?
Care to explain why one kind of hate is more acceptable than another kind?
Is this really indicative of what Salon thinks of its LGBT audience?
Of course, now that I've started posting, I'm snorkeling around, trying to figure out something to say so that I'll make it to the Editors' Choice section.
I so hate making a mediocre posting, especially since I am first, and therefore have an obligation to be a role model to all who come after me.
So, let me say, that four score and seven years ago, I was not here on this earth. That was 1920, at which time there were Giant Celebrities, not the pygmies we have today in our barbarous and fallen times.
The 1920s had people in serious need of rehab. Zelda and Scott! Dorothy Parker! Ernesto Hemingway! Warren Harding (except that he was already dead--but maybe he needed resurrectin').
These celebrities of today, with their silly little panty-less episodes and name calling and finger licking--they are but dwarves, midgets, and amoeboid things compared to the goddess and god celebrities of yore.
I have spoken. I hope this is an Editors' Choice.
If not, I've wasted several minutes on a Friday night, minutes that shall never come by again.
I am awaiting the Editors' verdict.
