Great post!
Note: Sir Greta Galahad from Fox News may be coming after you for your comments about Palin, the Holy Quail ....(or was it Turkey?)
I was not unamused. Thank you.
But I was greatly amused!
I dunno, I thought Madonna's last album was pretty good.
Also, I loved the comment about the "gayest man at a Scissor Sisters concert". Hilarious.
ROFLMAO!!!
I probably scared the pants off the person in the restroom stall next to mine, when I burst out laughing while reading this on my Blackberry. (I know, too much information)
Oh, how I love this. The Facts about Sarah Palin are so spot-on and hysterically funny (and frighteningly true), as is the hundred-year-old driftwood description of Madonna.
The Facts about Heath Ledger... that was hard to read. I've only ever cried twice upon hearing about an actor's death. Heath Ledger was one; Paul Newman was the other.
