Dan Rather annoys me. He annoys me in a Very Major Way. The day John Kennedy is missing, Dan Rather spends the ENTIRE FRIGGING DAY yapping about it. The other two networks reported the story and went wherever else they were going. Not CBS, they have this idiot who obviously feels the overpowering compulsion to make every single person that happens to flick onto his channel watch him scrounge for some tiny bit of something that might be related to something related to something connected to something slightly associated with The Possible Death of a Minor American Celebrity. And not just that day. For every day since. Every day, Dan Rather obsessed with this event. Hours and hours of this crap. Dan, you creep. Find something good to talk about. Anything. A baby being born, somebody graduating from college, somebody winning the lottery. ANYTHING Dan. Anything but the constant intention to make everyone that sees your face feel worse. You fool. You call what you do 'journalism'. Where was your journalism the day after Mary Jo went off the bridge? She died too, you know. At least Jerry Springer comes out and says what he really does. #reply-10583379

When left is right AND When right is wrong!! OR How a man tied his wrong testicle!!!! From the NYT: Humans have sought to influence the sex of their babies for nearly as long as there have been humans. In ancient Greece, men believed they could have a boy if they had sex while lying on their right sides. Thousands of years later, in 18th-century France, men had made rather dubious progress and would tie off their left testicles to "guarantee" having a boy. One Italian grandmother told an acquaintance of mine: "You make the baby when the moon wax, you have the boy. When the moon she wane, you have the girl. You put the knife under the bed for the boy, you put the egg for making the girl." Last night when the moon waxed, I lied on my right side after putting a chef knife under the bed only to find out when I woke up this morning that I tied off the god damned right testicle.
