I stole this picture from the front page of my university's student newspaper:
The Dog Fucker looks pissed. His wife is forcing a smile. And his daughter looks like she's about to cry. I feel bad for his daughter. Imagine growing up in a house where the biggest concern is that you don't fuck the pet dog. On top of that, her parents dress her in clothes to match her doll's outfit. That's just sick.

Coturnietta is on the front page of the newspaper today. No, she's not in jail for a drive-by-shooting. After all, she is only nine years old.
Last week she spent the weekend in Raleigh with her grandmother, two aunts and three cousins and, while there, they saw a big injustice happen - the…
I played hooky from the office this morning. My hours have really been weighing down on me, and with my recent back injury, I really wanted a break.
Then my wife begged me to take our daughter to school. And stop at the store. And find the shopping list in her car. I was unhappy. I made her…

Paper Dolls

Natalie Angier has a piece in the Times this morning about the loss of a beloved pet cat:
Cleo was almost 16 years old, she'd been sick, and her death was no surprise. Still, when I returned to a home without cats, without pets of any sort, I was startled by my grief -- not so much its intensity as…
I am so glad Rick has gone - I'm having hysterics like that little girl who, IMO, is trying not to burst out laughing.
As for the dress: She obviously chose to dress her doll in the same outfit. I assume you don't hang out with little girls much?
Children and dolls dressing accordingly is not so odd really, but what I do find odd is that this child's scrunched up face belies the fakeness of her crying. She looks as if she were told to cry for the camera because she makes such a great prop for supporters of Santorum's evilness. All the good little relgious zealouts can see this and feel sad for her and themselves, their pain writ large in the face of a child who isn't really crying.
More than anything the father and daughter both look as if they are trying to keep an embarrassing barrage of vapors from emitting from their backsides, possibly the fault of poor diet and stress in the days leading up to the ouster of the evil Santorum.
Fark.com had pictures posted from this same event, which also included Santorum's son on the right with the most hilariously shocked look on his face...
"Hilarity ensued", as they say over there...
To me she looks like she is praying.
