it looked like a shredder."
-Bill Cosby to David Letterman, re: his voting experience on November 4th, 2008
Funny because IT WASN'T A SHREDDER!!! YAY!!!
"The Bush boys have certainly set a standard for the future - lax
regulation, tax breaks for wealthy, an imploding financial sector,
growing disparity of income, loss of jobs, high energy prices,
monumental national debt and growing deficits, a weakened dollar, and
massive government bailouts of private industry with, of course, no
payback to stockholders or to USA of the excessive, obscene payouts
grabbed by former CEOs of the rescued companies and Fannie and Freddie.
What a record for the Harvard B School grad who was going to bring
business principles to government and compassion to conservatism! A
fraud and deception on the country unrivaled since the 19th century. He
even makes Herbert Hoover look like a leader.
What's next?
Wow."

Did you catch it? The best part was not when Huckabee admitted
how strong Obama was, but when he admitted that race was not the
ultimate issue. Oh, and also, the tribute to Tubbs was pretty rad.
St Louis, August 2008
August 2008KO has been a fan of The New Yorker magazine for as long as we can remember.
In fact, years ago we were so inspired by our friend Kayt's parents' artful and clever
bathroom tribute to The New Yorker (they wallpapered the whole bathroom with covers
from the 70s) that we began collecting covers in hopes of someday following suit in a
room in our very own home. Well, we're sad to say we are so very disappointed with the
publication that we are actually considering boycotting it hence forth...Sad! But valid!
The first sign of trouble was Anthony Lane's loathsome and misogynistic review of the
Sex and The City movie (as well as the accompanying artwork by David Hughes). The
bitter, brutal and blatantly hateful review was just beyond justification. It reeked of
rage and forced me to question the integrity of the editor(s). And now, to make matters
worse, the pub. has lowered itself to put a horrific and hateful cover on the stands
featuring an illustration by Barry Blitt. His artistic vision features a very distorted Barack
Obama in full-on Osama Bin Laden mode, American flag burning in the fireplace (of the
Oval Office?) and his wife, complicit with machine gun. WTF??? What's the argument "for"
you ask? Something along the lines of addressing the misrepresentation of Obama in
the press, the "politics of fear," blah blah blah. Sorry, not falling for it. No reasonable,
rational thinking person has gone there, and certainly not a reader of The New Yorker.
So what, what, WHAT is the deal with inciting this kind of fear, hatred, racism?
Seriously?! I could go on, but truthfully, I'm too disgusted and ultimately just too
disappointed. I no longer trust The New Yorker. I no longer respect The New Yorker.
Sad, sad, sad. Disappointment.

Oh, and p.s. please don't try to tell me I have no sense of / for satire. I do.
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. To boot, it resonates: Too true!

Sorry to put it this way, but KO can't seem to find the words, so...
we are letting Michael K from DListed do the dirty work for us regarding
Drew's breakup from CT native Justin Long. We thought this one would stick,
as they say, and we aren't capable (in this capacity) of the kind of profanity that
so appropriately adds comedic relief to such a significant (to KO...yes, I know..)
celeb-relationship-conclusion as, er, important (oh we mentioned it mattered?
and yes it does to KO, somehow, for epic reasons) as this...Prepare for profanity:

RobZ found a police badge (and wallet and checkbook!) today in a shopping
cart in the Xpect parking lot! KO quickly found digits (on the checks, obvs) and
called the Capricorn, leaving a message on his vmail. When he called back we were
shocked to hear him admit he hadn't realized it (all) was missing (!) and didn't know
where his head was today! Luckily his head is attached to his body! Couldn't not go
there, sorry. KO confessed he'd certainly find fingerprints on everything, as we'd gone
through all of it! Anyway he came by to pick everything up tonight but not before KO
paid tribute to Phoebe (from Friends) with a "YOU could get arrested RIGHT NOW!" pic.
Fantastic! Truly!

Karolina Kurkova, best known for being an Angel model for Victoria's Secret,
was recently the topic of much ado whilst modeling in South America-
Why? you ask...because everyone took a look at her on the runway- and...
gasped: "She's gotten fat!" That was the general consensus. Hah! And...er,
hmmm...Fat? KO met KK once, fleetingly, outside Pastis, & KO has seen pics
of KK with Kayt's hottie cousins* from their Vogue shoot, so lets let it be known,
Karolina is all kinds of narrow, all kinds of thin. True, in these shots she looks
so very luscious and way voluptuous, but let's be real...she looks hot.
Way hot.
Right?! Soooo very very luscious!!! Come on! For realz!
The 24 year old Czech model is sooo not fat and sooo
successful she could actually help change The Industry (!!?!!)...

While dining at Pastis yesterday with India and Damon, KO spotted
prodigious and prolific funny man Jason Bateman. Yay! He's yummy!
He looked really good. Very clean shaven and lean,
dressed in a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans, sans shades...
Legendary comic George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday in Santa Monica.
George had a history of heart problems. He checked into the hospital yesterday
after complaining about chest pains.
Shit! Piss! Fuck! Cunt! Cocksucker! Motherfucker! Tits!
Sad! George Carlin was "especially noted for his political and black humor and
his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo
subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the
1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5-4
decision by the justices affirmed the government's right to regulate Carlin's act on
the public airwaves. He placed second on the Comedy Central's list of the 10 greatest
stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a
frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade
Johnny Carson era, and was the first person to host Saturday Night Live."
He is survived by his second wife Sally Wade and his daughter Kelly Carlin.
RIP George!

Happy Friday! We'll be working all day deep into the night, so the many various
and sundry topics we've been hoping to post about will be put aside yet again for
now...Rar. Nevertheless, we're looking forward to this day. And this weekend. Hope
your day is fun not freaky. Please play outside! Enjoy yourselves! More later,
As Ever, KO
KO is crazy about these hair (master)pieces made by Japanese artist Nagi Noda.
There's a little bit of "The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss" in them, but they still seem very
original. KO sees passion~ animalistic, honest passion!~ in them. Very fresh and fun!
*see the entire collection here*
Yay! Goes perfectly with KO's bacon martini, Ray's bacon ice cream and
Santa Barbara's recently celebrated bacon-dipped-in-chocolate confection!!!

Well, it's official. The New Kids On The Block have released the video for
their new song "Summertime" and KO knew you were just dying to know...
KO likes it! Haha! For real! KO loves the cheez and NKOTB deliver it easily in
a perfect-for-summer pop song only a real fool could appreciate! Yay! No joke,
the first time I heard this song I knew it was New Kids. I'm not proud, mind you,
I just feel you all deserve full disclosure. You really have to want to watch this vid,
and I can't honestly suggest you should...but for those of you (and you know who
you are) who are curious, KO took care of business and posted it below. Easy love!
They totally reference their Hangin' Tough dance days(!)...
...and it really seems like Jordan, of all the guys, gives the best
tongue-in-cheek nod to the absurdity (and fun) of the whole thing...
KO dedicates this post to BP (MC! MC!).
Now you have someone to blame for knowing the song!
Thanks Annie!
KO loved the Sex & The City movie!!! Alot!
And we loved Samantha's true-to-character story arc...as well as her wardrobe!
Especially this hat!!! LOVES IT!!!
