I wonder if any other blog-intense family has arguments where one person says he's Israel and his wife is acting like Hassan Nasrallah? Or where someone admits that her reaction to his not handing her the spices fast enough was "disproportionate"?

So Saddam is being forced to watch himself on South Park. Perfect. May I remind you that I suggested this almost two years ago. I hope he's had to watch it on a loop for at least that long. Also he should have to watch "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?" and the subsequent episode, "Probably."

Our toilet has officially turned into a European toilet. Maintenance has been out twice already to plunge, snake, and grumble, but the water simply won't suck down the hole; it just stirs. Last night I was trying to think of a joke I could make about it, so I tried to come up with something that doesn't belong in a toilet. I laughed out loud and teased my husband, "Honey, you really need to stop shoving Korans down our toilet."

It's funny when the first thing that comes to mind when you think "what could clog a toilet?" is the Koran...

Found this via Hud and CaliValley:
Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe

Kinda reminds me of the time Ben Affleck said he was thinking of running for Congress, and it turned out he had only voted once in the past 10 years, and not even in 2000 when he rode around with Gore trying to rock the vote. Sheesh.

Are there any nutritionists out there who can answer a real question for me? How do you get dehydrated when you're on a liquid diet? That seems oxymoronic to me, but naturally I have no medical knowledge whatsoever. This is a real, actual, honest-to-god question. With only the tiniest pinch of smartaleckness because that woman makes me sick.

1 This in not in her defense....I'm so not a nutritionist, but if you drink a lot of caffine (soda and coffee) you can get pretty dehydrated. It also happens quite a bit when you live in the high altitude (happened to me twice since I've lived here BUT I wasn't on some crazy diet) When you're on a liquid diet who knows. She's probably just faking it for more negative attention.....hahaha! I suppposed the president is the devil and is sitting on her shoulders telling her to drink coffee and soda

2 The caffeine/alcohol are diuretics which cause the body to excrete more urine, which then causes the dehydration...I'm with Angie...must have been drinking lots of soda and coffee??

3 What they said. If all you are doing is drinking water, then it is kinda hard to dehydrate. Water mixed with other substances may cause your mileage to vary. However, one particular symptom of dehydration isn't evident: she can still cry. When you dehydrate, the body starts cutting off the sources of liquid loss...tears are on of the first sources to dry up. If she's sniffling on camera, she's not dehydrated, she's just thirsty.

4 I noticed that she was *also* in the hospital for a biopsy of her uterus. Could that have been the main reason she was there, but the dehydration made for a better sound bite?

5 Email your cousin Francine. She's studying to be a nutritionist. Also, your Aunt Sue would know too. She got naseous and almost passed out at Anne's wedding. She ran around the lake with your Aunt Mary that morning and then didn't eat or drink anything until later in the afternoon. Not a good thing to do! Your Mama

Every once in a while you read a line on a blog that's just so good that you want everyone you know to see it. This is one of those lines:

The NYT confused what people read and email each other, with what they will pay for. If those two things were the same, poems about Jesus and pictures of animals dressed up in costumes would have displaced porn and gambling as the internet's biggest industries.
