Tit Offensive

October 30, 2008 By: Tracy Category: diary

Now, I don’t – okay I do want to come off like some kind of tit activist, but, I just found out (24 years after the fact) that Janeane Garofalo had breast reduction surgery.

I was a 36C or D, and at 5′ 1″, I knew that being a small person with big boobs standing in front of an audience was not going to be easy. It would be really hard to get people to pay attention to me without mocking me. Getting a breast reduction to prepare for my career was no different from people who work to get good grades to get into a good college to get into a good graduate school to get a good job. I went down to a B cup, and it was the best thing in the whole world.

I’ve always loved Janeane, but I’m kind of disappointed with this (old) news and not just because she chopped off  her knockers to make standing in front of an audience easier – but, because she had an opportunity and she missed it.

How much stronger would her career and message have been if she did all she’s done and said all she’s said, while rocking 36Ds?

Having fully realized bazooms is a mindfuck for most of us – there’s the objectification, the shame, the fear of jogging/jiggling, the never being able to find button-down shirts or coats that fit. It sucks. If you don’t want to take my word for it, google the phrase “positive things about big boobs” and you’ll find nothing but self-loathing chicks with sweet racks, desperately wanting to get breast-reduction surgery – followed by pages of ladies with small breasts wanting large breasts, so the cycle of female self-hatred continues.

Imagine a world where dudes with huge dicks went around lamenting them and hacking them up to fit societal norms. You can’t – because it’s fucking crazy and so is this.

How did we let this happen? How did we let our society make us hate ourselves so much that even the strong and the funny among us have given into the pressure?

Frankly, it pisses me off and makes me sad. You can be smart and have big tits. You can be funny and have big tits. You can be powerful and have big tits. You don’t have hide or shrink or for fuck-sake, mutilate yourself in order to be taken seriously.

Will people mock you? Probably. Will dudes perv over you? Definitely. But, women have to stop changing themselves and start changing society.

Um, cuteness

Blog-Blocking

October 23, 2008 By: Tracy Category: diary

Since I couldn’t stop myself from reading these hysterical neo-nuts, I decided the least I could do was give them a piece of my mind.
Unfortunately, they’re just as wussy as we all might expect.
First of all, “Woman Honor Thyself” (gag) posted about someone having some “art” exhibit where people could take a picture with a picture of Sarah Palin and a dead moose. Anyway, some guy was photographed instead pointing a fake gun at fake Sarah. “Angel” at WHT went completely ape-shit about how “liberals” are violent and how we’re hypocrites and misogynists, etc… First of all, how does anyone know the dude in the picture is really a “liberal” and second of all, this lady’s entire blog is one big Klan rally, so, wtf?
Anyway – so I left her comment, which she deleted – twice.

Pointing a gun at a fake Sarah Palin and her daughter is indeed reprehensible, but coming from you – the accusation is pretty rich.

This blog seems dedicated to inciting hatred against Muslims and “liberals” – and you have no problem with that. So, what’s the difference? Why is the hatred you spew somehow exempt from criticism? And how can you be so ignorant to your own hypocrisy?

You’ve created your own little lynch mob (I mean, really – do you read your comments?) and yet, you have the audacity to act offended? I imagine you and your readers would stand up and cheer if this “art” depicted Obama instead and in fact I’ve seen images depicting much worse on this blog and others- but, that’s okay – right?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

And now for my pal, Roger at “American and Proud.”

I would encourage you NOT to go read this site because it will just infuriate you – and I mean that so much, I’m not even going to give you the link.

I will however give you the link to the site, I’m redirected to every time I try to look at it. Yes, I got blocked. Cock-blocked, literally. I think he thinks his choice of redirection is funny, but I find it rather telling. I mean, did he just have this site bookmarked, or what? At the very least, with this – he proved what I knew all along.

This link is EXTREMELY NSFW!

And here’s the comment that got me ousted.

But, you’re not a racist.
“Do you honestly think the 95% blacks voting for Obama are not expecting something? They are expecting money to be dropped by the plane load onto their ghetto’s and projects..”
The fact that you think 95% of black people live in either the “ghetto” or the “projects” and that they’re only voting for Obama because they think he’s going to throw money at them – that’s pretty bad, but – BUT….
“On the bright side:

This might just be a GOOD Recruitment year for the ‘Original Boys in da Hood’”
is just – fucking insane and beyond sick.

I used to kind of enjoy your neo-nut hysteria, but you had to go and ruin it, by proving that you’re actually just an enormous (black) cock-gobbler.

I mean, you do seem a little preoccupied with what happens between men in prison.

Anyway – have fun in that (sexy) race war in your mind.

Oh and you don’t need apostrophes at the end of every word with an “s” for Christ-sake.

This story fills me with 30 kinds of ick.

October 22, 2008 By: Tracy Category: diary

Now, I could write about John McCain’s massive “I couldn’t agree more” flub in Pennsylvania or about how Sarah Palin still doesn’t know what the hell a Vice President does, but instead I’ve chosen something a little, or should I say A LOT more positive; I want to talk about Meghan McCain’s rack. Because, well, frankly it’s spectacular.

I mean, seriously. She is just as cute as a button and as a fellow member of the “Jugs” squad, I’d really be remiss if I didn’t stand up and say, wow.

Well done McCain genes. Now if only I could be as impressed with her father’s policies. Doh! You knew that was coming.

11 more days til’ Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, 11 more days til’ Halloween Silver Shamrock

October 20, 2008 By: Tracy Category: diary

It is officially 11 more days til’ Halloween and now I have that fucking song stuck in my head. Again.

I don’t remember what year it was exactly, the first time I subjected myself to the painfully bad, Halloween 3, but from that day forward I can’t think of the word “Halloween” without hearing that bloody song.

Last night the Medleys and Patches willingly watched  it once again -albeit with wine and pumpkin carving to distract us.

I’ve never been much of a carver, but I have to say, I’m kind of impressed with my kitty-cat (pictured). Lars’ witch is also pretty nice and Shannon’s bat = totally cute. For some reason, Kelly relinquished his pumpkin to Lars or Lars just stole it – I’m not sure which.

Oh well, trickery is really in the spirit of the season, isn’t it?

October 17, 2008 By: Tracy Category: diary

I think we should know what we’re against – and it’s pure, unadulterated CRAZY.

Below are a couple of comments left on the “Woman, Honor Thyself” blog.

How in the world can we as a nation elect Mr Hussein Obama to the most powerful position in the country after 9-11.
The Obama saga started in Kenya, and I read in the book of revelations ( along time ago so forgive me if I don’t quote it exactly) the anti-Christ would be born of a jackal? or something??
aren’t jackals popular in Africa?

I’ve often wondered about the language between the age the bible was written and what we speak now.. I don’t know if this is ordained but this guy Hussein Obama has captured the youth, he speaks with elegance and flare and he has the most evil people in the world on his side…. time to do some soul searching.

Uhhhhhh. I don’t even know what to say to this beyond, “Nurse! Roger needs his meds now! – and don’t forget the restraints.” I mean, seriously – Obama is the anti-Christ, huh? Excuse me, “Hussein” Obama is the anti-Christ? Really? I understand not agreeing with his politics or policies, but this is just stupid. You don’t agree with someone, so that must mean they’re evil. Makes sense. This reminds me of my Ricks College roomies donning their black arm-bands the day Bill Clinton won. They were crying – actually crying and demanding that he was going to “usher in the Apocalypse.”  Yeah – so, if the Apocalypse can be defined as sticking a cigar up some girl’s hoo-ha, while demolishing the deficit – then yes – the Apocalypse he did bring.

Thanks, “American and Proud.”

cube says:

I skipped the debate. I’ve heard enough from the mystical magical negro to last me forever.

All I have to say about this guy is that I bet he really, secretly longs for some deep, deep ding-dong straight up his pooper. I’ve exhausted all other possible explanations.

WARNING – this woman who “honors herself” does have a habit of posting extremely graphic images from 9/11 – you know, just in case you forgot. She also posts frequently repulsive, racist tirades that make me wonder if she shouldn’t be “honoring” herself a bit more, if you know what I mean.
