“What kind of things do you like me to do with you body?” Jeb said as I looked over the contract. “Do you like it when I keep it from healthcare?” Oh my. My inner goddess screams YES but I blush.

I said BRRRR! It’s cold in here!

The Bratz company would also love to make it clear that along with not doing Molly, the dolls have never “come alive in the middle of the night to murder and maim their captors” nor have they ever “hidden under a child’s bed and then crawled up to take any limbs poking out of the covers for the “doll devil”.

Oh the backlash is much worse if you are not white but there is apathy and dislike projected at almost all protesters these days. Think of the response to Occupy Wall Street or even Greenpeace activists.

I am particularly aggrieved by…
