Don Imus in Trouble Again

On his show, he was told the NFL's adam jones wanted to drop his old nickname "pacman" because it reminded people of his troubled past and arrests.

Imus asked the sports guy: "what color is he?"

the sports guy said: "he's african-american."

don imus: "well, there you go. now we know."

NOW imus tells the new york times, he "meant he was being picked on because he's black."

• DO YOU BELIEVE IMUS's EXPLANATION? I think it flew out of his mouth because he can't control it, he thought "Crap! I can't afford more fines!" and he tried to cover.

Here Are Some Things I Can't Stand

This evening while Ms. Bee is trying to sleep peacefully, there are some things that I cannot stand. Blogging about them is an attempt to keep myself from going outside and thus winding up on the 11 o' clock news for Louis to see from work. "Hey! There's my wife! She's TOTALLY kicking the crap out of our neighbor!"

1. My neighbor sitting on his "hog" in the driveway just revving it. I get it! You've got a motorcycle and are totally sexy.

2. The guy behind me SCREAMING at his wife outside. Do you verbal abuse indoors please.

3. WHOEVER THE HELL IS SETTING OFF BOTTLE ROCKETS! YOU ARE GOING TO GET ONE SHOVED DIRECTLY IN YOUR BUTTHOLE!

4. The teenaged girl standing out in her driveway talking on the phone who obviously has trouble controlling the volume of her voice.

Oh you son of a biscuit eating bulldog! She's awake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been bothered again

I was getting my taxes done and the lady that did it was bothering me so much I couldn't concentrate on the task at hand. Granted, I wasn't in the best mood to begin with, but I'm also pretty sure she was illiterate. She looked through everything at the exact pace of molasses, continuously put EVERYTHING in her computer wrong and I HAD TO CORRECT IT, and licked her fingers with every page turn. Is it me or is that gross?? I was so icked out I had to look away lest I gag in her face. I now have HER SPIT all over my tax documents that I may end up accidentally touching in the exact spot she licked!!!!! She also continuously talked to the other illiterate people in the room about what THEY were working on. Then she tried to charge us $100 more than was quoted. My husband actually ended up taking our stuff and pretty much telling her to stuff it. I can't even begin to tell you how out of character that is for him. I was so proud I could have cried.

I came home and did them for free on TurboTax and got the same results... yeah, you heard me right lady! FOR FREE.

Does this make me seem old?

I can't stand bass. Can't stand it one bit. It makes me feel so hateful. I don't understand what makes someone think that I care what they're listening to and how bangin' their system is. I know it hurts your head inside your stupid little junky car... just admit it. The guy across the street from me has decided that it's time to roll down the windows, blast his bass, and let his old SUV just sit there all covered in sombrero decals and tassles inside. I hate it. He's probably around 40-45 years old. I want to run outside, kick his door and yell "IF YOU WAKE UP MY BABY I WILL SHOOT OUT YOUR TIRES. TURN OFF THE BASS YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE MIDDLE-AGED!"

If you see me on the news, that's exactly what happened... but know that I was provoked.

Is it that time again?

Yes, yes it is. It's time for another pointless rant. Time for me to vent about something that is making me nuts for no darn good reason. What's the annoyance du jour? (It's the annoyance of the day. Ha!) It's people that morph into their significant other. I've gotten to where my skin crawls when I talk to a friend because she is almost unrecognizable. Her way of speaking, verbiage, tone, sense of humor, taste, everything. EVERYTHING has changed to HIS way. Now, I'm sure I've picked up a few things here and there from my husband, but I'm still, I'm still Nadja from the block. Why do girls do this??? Ugh.

Is it just women that do this or do guys do it too?

No more voting for you, Missy

I wonder if your right to vote should be based on your age or intelligence level. I was talking with one of my cousins about voting, who I was voting for, and why I was voting for them. I then asked her about her reasoning behind voting for her candidate of choice and she said "Oh, I totally voted for the other guy because he's way cuter." (SHOCK AWE AGHAST! PINCH SELF! YEP ACTUALLY AWAKE!)

"Um what? Are you serious?"

"Yeah. I think that other guy is just funny looking."

I was so taken aback by this level of ignorance I just backed away slowly lest I catch stupid.

It made me think of a conversation that I had with a 16 year old in a coffee shop that knew the candidates, the issues, and how it all affected him, and yet he wasn't able to vote... but my cousin the MENSA member can. Oh boy.

Ignorant voters scare me.
