From the department of the obvious: Stay at Home Moms work hard and get paid nothing. Well duh.
The article says that Moms work the equivalent of 10 jobs and of course get paid for none of them. I think Nikki would heartily agree.

Tiny Terrier
Here’s a sad story about a pretty gutsy dog in New Zealand. Apparently a Jack Russell terrier was playing with some children when two pit bulls tried to attack them. The terrier leapt to the kids defence, but wasn’t a match for the pit bulls, unfortunately.
It’s sad, but it pretty much sums up the best and worst of what people can do to animals. We can make them our best ally and friend, loyal to the very end. Or we can make them into criminals, enemies, shunned and despised by everyone. I guess that goes for people, too.
Andrew W.K.
Ah, sometimes there’s just nothing like sitting down to a butt-numbing days work with the sweet words of Andrew W.K. in your ears. Truly a poet for today’s world:
You,
You work all night (all night)
And when you work you don’t feel all right
And we,
When things stop feeling all right (all right)
And everything is all right‘Cos we will never listen to your rules (no)
We will never do as others do (no)
Know what we want and we get it from you
Do what we like and we like what we doSo let’s get a party going (let’s get a party going)….etc.
Yep, that says a lot. If you think there’s nothing actually in there, you’re just not listening hard enough. And if the lyrics don’t seem to make sense, just turn it up a little louder.
Don’t stare at my monkey
This just in: Zoo officials have imprisoned a chimp named Cheetah in Antwerp who is so devilishly charismatic they warn visitors to not look him in the eye, lest they fall under his spell. What kind of magnificent chimp must he be? I mean that must be one seriously persuasive chimpanzee, because I never found them to be all that compelling.  Comical, certainly, but I’ve never had any trouble avoiding eye contact with a chimp on roller skates or smoking a cigar.
Truly amazing that they have managed to capture this phenomenal animal.
News Round Up
Here’s your Monday News roundup.
From the department of futility, it seems that over the last decade the US Government has spent a billion dollars to try to get teenagers to stop having sex. Brilliant use of that money, don’t they know they have a hugely expensive and incredibly wrong war going on? No not the war on drugs, the other one. No, not the war on the environment, the other one.
And remember when I said that using The Daily Show and Colbert for my primary sources of current events was a bad idea? Well it turns out that it may not be such a bad idea, in fact a recent study shows that morons like me who watched those shows for news were actually the smarterest people of the bunch, including those who watched regular news shows. Huh, imagine that. I can’t wait to see what Colbert makes of that story…
Later folks.
Air Guitar Nation
This blog is fast becoming the web’s #1 source of Air Guitar information. I should start a new blog specifically for that purpose, even. I could call it Air Guitards Unite! Something to ponder for later….
Anyway, I digress. Faithful reader Wilson points out a new film opening up soon: Air Guitar Nation Go ahead and squander a minute with a gander (why the hell do those two words not rhyme?) at the website and shake your head at the wonderful weirdness. The towering egos, the blazing moves, the costumes, the extraordinary lack of coolness, and the cold distant fading glimmer of a chance that any of these guys will ever get laid, this movie’s got it all. In all seriousness, it’s actually got the perfect amount of silly that probably makes it a great movie to watch and laugh at.
