Laugh it up, Fuzzball

It isn't very often that I laugh out loud at something I read (okay, maybe you HAVE heard me laugh out loud at something I read), but after this past year at school, I'm always grateful to find something funny.  This week's NEWSWEEK magazine did just that.  In last week's issue they had panned Bill O'Reilly's new book, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity", and of course Bill-O went on air and trashed the editor, and trashed the magazine with 'its far-left posture'.  

Not to let a perfect opportunity go by, NEWSWEEK staffers felt duty-bound to offer up more-constructive criticism, and offered the following alternate titles for his book:

1.  "A Big Steaming Lump of Male Vanity"
2.  "A Deep Barking Voice of Inanity" and my personal favorite...
3.  "A Large Bag of Gas Who's No Hannity"

Tee Hee.

They also had an interesting article by Kathleen Deveny about little girls being labeled bossy.   Those are many times the same girls who are called the B-word when they grow up to be assertive women.  She noted, correctly so, that little boys NEVER get called bossy, and that it's a very sexist label.  Anyway, having been a somewhat bossy little girl, I thought it made for very interesting reading.  

So...here I am, reading away my summer!  Love,  Claudia
