Bet your mom’s super-glad she squirted you out.

So I was over at HuffPo again, trolling for material, and found this “advice” piece titled “Caring For Impossible Parents”:
Q: I am a 56 year old woman with a family and a career. Needless to say I am busy. But lately I have to also take care of my mother. My father died five years […]

Why women date jerks instead of their nice-guy friends.

Commenter Alex VanderWoude, clearly recognizing my authoritah, posted a great question a few weeks ago:
Here’s something I first noticed in college: Why do women date jerks and then complain to their non-jerk male friends about the jerk they’re dating? Why do they say stuff like “I wish Jerk Boyfriend was more like you” and “why […]

Huckabee can go stuff himself
…and other helpful suggestions.

Why is there always tons of stuff to blog about when I can’t? There’s a lot of catching up to do and here is what you’ve been crying yourself to sleep at night waiting for.
Huckabee Can Go Fuck Himself (and can everyone shut up about religion please?)
So I was reading all the […]

I really want people to move their asses out of the way.

I’ve been giving it some serious thought lately and have decided that people who walk down the middle of the DRIVING AREA in parking lots, with no regard at all for all the CARS trying to PARK, should be run over.
Because (1) they’re stupid and should be taken out of the gene pool, […]

Once again, the fools among us ruin all the fun.

This is starting to make me angry. Today the Dow dropped almost 400 points, and I blame all the greedy dipshits out there who live in houses they knew they couldn’t afford.
In all the articles about the “subprime mortgage meltdown”, isn’t it weird how they won’t just cut the crap and put […]

Get. Out. Of. The. F*cking. Way.

I went to Target yesterday because I decided it’d been too long since I dropped $200 on crap I don’t need but cannot resist. I did buy groceries, which I guess I “need”, and some racquetballs for Digger, which I definitely “need” because he is old and he deserves some goddamn racquetballs. He […]

Cover that thing up.

On Saturday night, my totally perfect boyfriend and I went to a place that happened to be very heavily skewed toward the young white trash population. Not because he and I are young white trash (the proper label for us would 35-year-old professional nerds), but because we wanted to go see something that for […]

Dear Rachel, Bitchy and Hungry Edition

Cyberjag asks: “Dear Rachel, Who do you think the Angry Left should focus on when Bush is no longer in office, and why?”
Dear Cyberjag,
Me. Because I’d like more fun in my life, and nothing says 24-hour-a-day FUN! like having crazed assclowns focus all their little baby childhood rage on you for no reason […]

Dear Rachel (Friday Edition)

Kenny asks: “Dear Rachel, what are your thoughts on the retirement of the Cindy “Queen of Moonbats” Sheehan?”
Dear Kenny,
I thought she came back? I haven’t paid attention. If it is true that she’s “retiring” from whatever exactly it was she was doing - mostly bringing attention to the apocalyptic misguidance of the […]

Dear Rachel (Thursday Edition)

I seriously am going to answer every single question. Keep ‘em coming. This saves me from having to think up my own topics.
Zeke asks: “Dear Rachel, Two questions. #1. Ketchup, Heinz or Hunts? #2. Peanut butter, Jiff or Skippy?”
Dear Zeke,
Heinz has the best bottles. Jiff PB because […]

Good grief, people. It was not about CATS.

I have touched a nerve! I feel so powerful right now.
In my post about online dating, the first tip was, no photos of your cats.
Notice how it says no PHOTOS of your cats.
So I was just looking through my referral list, and I apparently have a hate following now among […]

Rachel’s Helpful Guide to Online Dating: Girl Power Version

1. First and foremost: NO PHOTOS OF YOUR CATS. Apparently, this really, really turns guys off. Especially if you are not even in the picture yourself, because nothing says abject loneliness and seriously flawed understanding of heterosexual men more than a photo of Mr. Furrylicious Snooperpants posing cutely on your sofa. (Yes, […]

More Dear Rachel

I don’t know about you, but this is fun for me. It’s like answering emails all day, and I don’t have to actually THINK of anything, which is nice for a dull brain like mine. I am going to answer every single question asked of me in the order they are received. […]

I need material. You give it to me.

A friend I email often tells me that my emails are better than my blog posts. Thanks, buddy. But she had a good point, which was that I am not creative, but rather, I do my best monkey-typing-rants when asked a specific question. She also says it makes her giggle most when […]

Rachel’s Helpful Guide to Online Dating: For Men

Must get this one out of my system.
Almost all of the single people I know use online dating services; the taboo seems to have completely lifted in the last few years. Because, would it really be better to meet men in bars? Eww. Anyway, so a few months ago, I put a […]
