Well, that is, if the terrorist seated behind you on the plane garrotes you with your gun replica necklace for good luck before he storms the cockpit. Of course, he will be doing no such thing if you're a woman wearing a 1.75-inch sterling silver gun pendant around your neck while passing through Canadian airport security, and not just because the terrorists all have to be laughing their primitive asses off at how they've ruined airline.http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/19/guns_dont_kill.html People For The Ethical Treatment Of Interns- June 19, 2008 People For The Ethical Treatment Of Interns Where are they when you need themhttp://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/19/people_for_the.html This Week In Nut Mail- June 18, 2008 This Week In Nut Mail The weirdest, wackiest correspondence comes, not by e-mail, but with lots and lots of stamps on it. This was from one of the "the world will end soon!" types -- a rather regular correspondent who also sends multi-colored lucite disks with crosses embedded into them. I give them to the neighbors, who put them in their cacti. (And just to clarify, no, I'm not suddenly experiencing my first episode of baby-lust at 44 -- he's referring to a letter from my column.)http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/18/this_week_in_nu.html The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!- June 18, 2008 The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling! The nutters' chicken little mascot for marriage, Maggie Gallagher, sounds the alarm at NRO that some gay people who want to get married might be...eeek!...swingers! (Kind of like some hetero people who are married or want to get married!) Eeeeek! Gallagher writes: Second, many gay married couples reject "heteronormative" assumptions about marriage, and they (as well as the New York Times) are becoming remarkably more open about this. When Andrew...http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/18/the_gay_marriag.html Fear Of The Dork- June 18, 2008 Fear Of The Dork Just posted another Advice Goddess column -- one in which a woman has a problem or two with my advice. Here's her question: I disagree with your advice to "The Hunted," the woman who said a co-worker was stalking her at work. I agree she should be more direct, but what about "He's been asking co-workers about me and finding me on breaks" says this guy's harmless Sometimes those "little things" turn ugly fast.

Well, kind of. According to this feminist blogger, Womanist Musings: A colluder is a woman that disavows feminism for men's rights. Actually, what I am first and foremost is a grammarian. That would be a woman WHO...etc. She goes on about what "colluders" are: They feel that feminism has reached all of its goals, and that the women that are complaining today aren't interested in equality...oh no, we are interested in ruling men. Since females in roles of power are...http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/17/im_a_colluder.html Bank Of America Customer Bury Your Money In A Mason Jar In The Backyard Instead- June 17, 2008 Bank Of America Customer Bury Your Money In A Mason Jar In The Backyard Instead Every day, the mail brings a new giftie-poo, thanks to Bank of America. Today, it was a notice that my Kaiser health insurance was in jeopardy because the direct deduction I have from my checking account didn't go through.

Oh,.http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/17/bank_of_america.html Move Over, David Geffen!- June 16, 2008 Move Over, David Geffen! I'm ready for my beachfront mansion, thank you! Just when you thought Barbara Ehrenreich couldn't get any more ridiculous, she starts whining that the rich people have sucked up all the good vacation real estate. She's doing this in (where else!) The Nation -- home of The Nation Cruise (bargain-basement prices here). Nope, sorry folks, if you aren't a bazillionaire, there's nary a view to be found in the entire You Ess Of Aaaay! Ehrenreich mewls: I took a little.http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2008/06/16/move_over_david.html |
