I’m hoping Jenna & Henry get some good mojo from the wedding date they chose. My parents got married on May 10, 1944, and it was a good date for them for 61 years. It’s also my hubby’s birthday, and would have been my son’s wedding date as well. But that worked out the way it was supposed to work out.

I’m not one to analyze pictures/faces/expressions/etc. I hope they all had a wonderful day, as all weddings should be. Except it didn’t work out that way for this http://www.wpxi.com/news/16163202/detail.html?rss=burg&psp=news low-life couple from Pittsburgh. (Sorry, I’m trying VERY hard to do a hyperlink but just can’t seem to do it here in Mozilla Firefox!)

Catherine, I, too, am very glad that Jenna had the sense to wear a wedding dress with straps that wasn’t flashing cleavage all over the place. All anyone does when they wear a strapless gown is tug it up all the time. Thank goodness my best friend is allowing me to put straps on my dress when I am her maid of honor this summer or I’d be tugging and flashing everyone at the wedding. My wedding dress and those of my bridesmaids will have substantial straps and be relatively modest in the neckline.

And here’s something I didn’t know about Laura:

Don’t know what to make of the twins, except notJenna always struck me as the, uh, kinkier, of the two. Not as overtly attractive as Jenna, Barbara has the look and demaeanor of one who carries, shall we say, secrets of sexual skill. Her pose in the photos is a clue, classic red carpet celebrity: back straight or arched, arm facing the camera pulled back so the tits are out (sort of, with her). All about the “presentation”. All female celebrities have got this down.

And, Basset, I’m glad someone else besides me figured out who Caliban is.

when I see two tubes packaged up like that I think epoxy, can’t help it.

Caliban, Michaelj, whatever name you’re using this week… do you ever go back and read that runon crap you posted when you were too stoned to type straight?

As far as looking under the weather goes, well . . . I certainly can’t say anything, though Mom does look rather loopy. I got quite toasted at my daughter’s wedding. That was a great party.

Something obscene always happens. I was boxed in and made to marry the mother of my child in a parodic double ceremony with a sister in law and her beax that my father-in-lawdespised so much I had to take my wife’s sister out of the home after she’d been tied to a Lally column to keep her from the worthless jackass. Some dumbass ideation of some dumbass Sicilian form of honor about the eldest daughter required to get hitched first.

At one early point of the reception, in as tony aa place as Boston offers, and Boston is tony, other groom’s brother reported to the head table that “Ma fell down.” During the dancing, I guess, and I guess she was lit. Both marriages ended in divorce. Quelle surprise.

Whatever. Many weddings are atrocities that the crucial participants either live through or they don’t. My ex-wife lived on through. and she’s happy and I’m not unhappy and we had a perfect child. We should probably have had the sense to run like hell

I tend to avoid weddings. I’ve a (I guess) second cousin (my cousin’s adopted daughter) that’s so gorgeous she was a born degas model, and she’s smart and strong. She married a guy I thought pretty shady, and I thought about how my daughter idolized her cousin. They’re doing fine, and my keed has found a guy she thinks is fine, and he’s given her a chunky diamond. Funny how things turn out.

I owe an apology.

Whitebeard:

Mine’s gray and red these days, so no matter how much I despise shaving, I’m forbidden to let nature take its course. Fortunately, I’m encouraged in other matters of nature and even sometimes the unnatural.

I apologize for being snide, but I won’t get over Guv Dean’s abandonment of Kerry when the lying jackal Swiftboaters struck. Seriously, how does anybody with a brain and a cinscience let this swift boat sit go on? His response was a guerilla raid on Democrat central with the implied message that the Presidential race didn’t really matter all that much. Edwards was no better. Isn’t the job description for a VP nominee pitbull, to eat purveyors of scurrilous attacks alive? And wasn’t Kenneth Blackwell empowered to game Cuyahoga County by the retreat to Naderist omphaloskopsis by lots of the same people that have gotten holier than thou these days and rebranded as “progressives”?

Everybody abandoned Kerry. From the point of view of someone that battled in Grant Park, you can all just shut up about liberal being a dirty word. Fact jack. Kerry was a hero no matter what whores like Brent Bozell say. W protected and stocked the O club. Kerry was way up the MeKong, and he got shot and he did what he had to do.

The SwiftBoat attack on Kerry had less to do with 2004 than it had to do with how much they hated Kerry for the BCCI investigation, and exposing Nixon years before that. Raygun unwitting criminal., no shit, he pardoned all the criminals. Kerry embarrassed these asshole criminals, if Americans weren;t morons and they held a grudge. And since they were terrorists of a state variety, they held a grudge like Chiggurh.

I just watched No Contry for Old Men. John Kerry is Lewellyn Moss. Soebody want to tell me Kerry wasn’t screwed over by the true believers?Baileded and voted for Dean and Nader’
