i was on the phone with kat and we were waiting to see if mike's interview with wally would go up at mikey likes it but it must be a long 1. i want to thank kat for calling and even though she denied c.i. asked her to call, thank you to c.i. i was really depressed yesterday and poor c.i. had to hear about it for 2 hours.
it's the harriet myers nonsense.
she's not qualified. she's anti-choice. her legal experience is less than mine.
i'm serious. i rarely get tickets for speeding, even though i speed all the time, but on those times when i can't talk my way out of it, i take it to traffic court. unlike harrie, i always win my case.
i can't believe that a right so many worked so hard for, that so many died for, hangs by a thread and the general attitude among the press and our elected officials is to shrug.
by the way, let me toss this out here. on a good day, i don't need junk in the e-mail. i've got three guys (yes, all men) who've written me. i'm not reading their crap. their names have never gone up here and i can't imagine that they have anything to say that i care to read so just go away boys. i'm glad you're packing, but i don't date little boys.
that especially goes to the idiot who kept writing me while i was on vacation and attempted to get my phone number from c.i. (c.i. didn't give it out.) you need to learn how to read. you're raving over how 'smart' and 'intelligent' i am (or were in your earlier e-mails) and, big dope, you're actually praising something c.i. thought up. that's noted here in the thing you read that you just felt made us 'kindred souls.' c.i. is too modest. c.i. should have told you, the big dope wrote c.i. after i didn't respond, 'uh, that's my idea you're praising.'
i have no idea why you think i'd want to date you but i don't. so go away.
that's for every 1 who writes with their nonsense.
if you're a reader, i love to hear from you. but i'm getting real tired of opening up e-mails from bloggers and others asking me my measurements and swearing that they get me, they really get me.
do i come off like sally field here? do i really sound like i care what some stranger thinks of me?
i'll note that when elaine noted, at the third estate sunday review, that my breasts were the largest (of any of the women doing sites in the community), e-mails started coming in from blogging fellows and their friends. so since the majority couldn't read well enough to tell when i wrote something or when i linked to something, i'll guess it was the breast citation from elaine.
yes, boys, i have big breasts. yes, boys, they are real. no, boys, i have no interest in meeting you.
you don't even attempt courtship before asking my measurements. not even what might pass for online courtship, 'rebecca i really like you and your mind and especially your big breasts. as my gift to you, i've linked to you.'
these boys are all about the slap and tickle. go away and play with your blow up dolls, you have nothing to offer a woman.
my readers know that i had an abortion last year. they know that i had 1 because of a disorder the child would have been born with which would have required the child to have multiple operations and even after all of that the life expectancy would have been short.
i take roe v. wade very seriously. and it's very hard for me not to be depressed when i think of women losing our right to make the decisions we decide are needed.
i'll keep putting something up every day and hopefully i'll be out of the funk shortly but i'm really upset and bothered by the lack of outrage on the part of our elected dems regarding harriet myers' survey.
in case anyone's asking 'what survey?':
Harriet Miers Openly Opposed Abortion in 1989
This news on Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers: A document submitted to the Senate yesterday shows Miers previously expressed support for banning abortion. In 1989, when Miers was running for Dallas city council, she filled out a questionnaire that shows she advocated banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother. Miers also said she would support legislation to ban abortions if the Supreme Court ruled states could do so, and would participate in "pro-life rallies and special events." The questionnaire was written by the group Texans United for Life. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein responded to the revelation by saying: "The answers clearly reflect that Harriet Miers is opposed to Roe v. Wade."
