Ann Who?

Ann Coulter is an educated, conservative, blonde,  average looking woman who puts her money where her mouth is……………..and sometimes her foot, too.  Today, I have read two separate articles about this woman.  One was a light-hearted take from D.L. Stewart who wanted everyone to know that there is more to her and he wanted to “find her softer side”.  The following are some remarks she has made in the past:

Bill Clinton:  “We’re now at the point that it’s beyond whether or not this guy is a horny hick”(Equal Time, not dated)

Immigration:  “I’d build a wall.  In fact, I’d hire illegal immigrants to build the wall………it’s cheap labor.”(The O’Reilly Factor, 2006)

Women: “I think women should be armed but should not vote…..women have no capacity to understand how money is earned.”(Politically Incorrect, 2001)

New York Times: “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is that he did not go to the New York Times building.”(New York Observer, 2002)

Herself: “I’m here, I’m not queer and I’m not going away.”(In Godless: The Church of Liberalism, 2006)

She has also been quoted on Fox News as saying that this probably makes her 17th time of having a career ending moment, but people still keep putting her on the air.  This was in reference to her gay slang word that she used to describe presidential candidate John Edwards.  

Is this woman nuts or is she really this frightening real.  I will admit, I chuckled at at least one of her prior quotes, but the rest I found to be very insulting and deeply damaging.   She just keeps spouting things out of her mouth like a bull in a china shop.  Hey lady, have you ever heard of “think before you speak”?!?  One of these days, news executives are going to finally say that they have had enough of Ann Homophobe Ageist Sexist Coulter.  The only place you will see her on your TV will be in reality TV’s ”The Surreal Life” or a celebrity version of “The Apprentice”.  Millions of people bought her book and she thinks that she represents the voice of the conservative Republican.  Well, Ann, darling, I am a woman; I am a Republican; I did not buy your book and you MOST definitely do not speak for me.  In fact, you are an embarrassment to women everywhere.  I leave you with this final thought – Ann herself said that 9/11 widows ”broads” were “enjoying their husbands’ deaths”.  Can we give her a one way ticket to anywhere but here?       

The Results

I found out the results from my ultrasound and I have numerous cysts on both ovaries, some the size of pennies.  Initial results do state that the cysts are non-cancerous, which is delightful.  There does seem to be a slight problem with my bladder, but not sure quite yet what that is.  I have an appointment this week with the doctor to go over everything and figure out a plan.  All bloodwork came back in decent shape and so did the pap.  Just need to get rid of these cysts because they are very painful and uncomfortable. 

I actually have a pretty busy week of appointments and errands.  Haircuts, speech therapy, doctor and specialists.  I am also going to give that treadmill a go.  I decided last night that I need to make a plan, one that fits my schedule and that is not so ridiculously unattainable.  I’m turning 40 in a few weeks and I have gone mad.  Don’t like the number and what it represents.  Oprah can tell me to embrace it all she wants, she’s just blowing smoke when she is talking to me.  Half my life is over and what is there to show for it?  Let’s just say that where I am today is not where I thought I would be at this age.  Besides the faults in my personal appearance, I have many other flaws.  I am a pushover, I do not like confrontation, I would rather live my life all messed up on the inside just to avoid huge blow-ups on the outside.  Little by little that has to change.  I do need to take control and stand up to people.  Some family members are not going to be to crazy about this, but each time I take a baby step towards voicing my opinion it is going to make me stronger.  

So another new week is here and if I stick to my guns and fulfill my plan each week, I am going to reward myself with something small.  Again, it would be nice for support, but my husband is not equipped with that feature.  To some extent, I think this is a man thing.  Annoying.  On a lighter note(or maybe not depending on your affiliation), I got an e-mail that had a slogan on a t-shirt.  The shirt said “Life’s a bitch………so don’t vote for one!”  There was a picture of Hillary with a backward slash through her.  Ingenious.  I have so many things I could say about it but I won’t.  I’ll be nice.  Anyways it’s Sunday – the day of rest!  God Bless America!!!!
