Talk about situational ethics indeed. Thank God Alan Colmes actually grew a pair for a minute or two.

Urrrggggh. What an idiot.

Why are slave fantasy books so damn popular? Seriously, why?

Anybody?

I love her version of Snow Patrol’s Run, I really do.

Here’s the original version for those who aren’t as familiar with the song:

I’d definitely say that she did the song justice.

Scions: Revelation, by Patrice Michelle

Third and last title in Ms Michelle’s Scions trilogy published by Silhouette Nocturne, Scions: Revelation comes out in December 1st. The first book, Scions: Resurrection, introduced the reader to a world where man-made vampires called Sanguinas exist. Scions: Insurrection, the second novel, revealed the existence of lab-made werewolves, self-identified as Lupreda. In this one yet another kind of paranormal being vies with the two other groups for supremacy… or at least, to carve out a niche for survival.

The three stories are connected by a prophecy which promises a way to a more peaceful future for all these paranormal beings.

Here is the back cover blurb:

They thought they understood the prophecy. They were wrong.

Caine Grennard was a werewolf, living among humans and lacking purpose–until the night he met a woman with an exotic, irresistible scent. A woman who might be his deadliest enemy.

When her aunt is kidnapped, Emma Gray swears to do anything to get the older woman back. Even if it means trusting the mysterious—and sexy—stranger named Caine.

But more is at stake than one woman’s life: Emma’s past holds the last key to unlocking a prophecy Caine’s clan is depending on. The fate of both their clans rests on them trusting the impossible, electric connection between them, even in the heart of betrayal…

Scions: A prophecy reveals hidden secrets and holds the key to fulfilling their ultimate desires.

Well, Lincoln’s all the rage at the moment, so why not?

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln

A wise man.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Hmmm, anybody would think he’d met one of the higher-ups from NCP.

The following quote is quite thought-provoking:

I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.

I really love this one:

Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.

I’ll leave you with one of his more famous quotes:

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

I’ll drink to that Mr Lincoln.

I was watching IACGMOOH the other night, when one of the contestants – a former talk show host – put this moral dilemma to the rest of the group:

A woman is having an affair with a man, and she gets pregnant. The thing is, she’s not sure whether the baby is her husband’s, or her lover’s. The problem is, she still loves her husband and she wants to make their marriage work. Her lover is a bit of a player and wouldn’t want to be saddled with the responsibility. What should she do? Should she come clean to the husband, or should she keep stum, hoping that the baby is her husband’s afterall?

I guess the right thing to do would be to tell her husband, but then if she loves her husband despite her affair, maybe telling him would mean the end of their marriage, something that she fears greatly?

What say you?

Unfortunately, probably not, but I can’t say I ever envisaged pirate heroes quite like these reprobates.

No siree, not my idea of dashing romantic pirate heroes at all.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers.

This unfortunate couple were caught having sex on Jumeirah Beach, in Dubai, by a police officer. The couple who’d only met earlier that night (talk about a one night stand to remember) were found guilty of having unmarried sex, and breaching public decency laws.

Not only was the woman fired from her publishing job, but the pair were also ordered to serve three months in jail.

Oops.

Never fear however, because the sentence has just been suspended on appeal, and the pair have now been deported back to England.

The moral of this story? If you are going to have sexual relations on a beach, try to avoid doing it in a middle east country, ok?

Dumbasses.

I totally LOVED Michelle Obama’s election night dress!

Apparently she got slated in the press for it though:

Mrs Obama wore a red and black scoop-neck dress by Narciso Rodriguez for the historic moment, a decision that has sparked instant debate among the fashion-focussed. Some branded it an eyesore, others said it was a simple mistake. Most agreed Ms Obama had suffered a rare lapse of taste.

“I voted for Obama, but I didn’t vote for that dress,” Jessica Bettencourt told the New York Times.

Amazing, I thought her dress rocked on a grand scale.

How can Fox News get away with having journalists like Sean Hannity represent them?

In the above clip, Hannity, defends that crazy bitch Ann Coulter, re her stance on the 9/11 widows.

This next clip however demonstrates his hypocrisy, when author, Christopher Hitchens criticizes the late Reverend Jerry Falwell, (a man that Hannity apparently knew and liked), regardless of the reverend’s offensive and hate-ridden rhetoric.

Sean Hannity: “I am asking for human decency, and and if you don’t think it has an impact on his family to use even the phrases tonight that he’s vulgar, fraud and a crook. I think you are incredibly mean, incredibly thoughtless..”

So basically, Sean Hannity calls for human decency from Christopher Hitchens re Reverend Caldwell, yet lets Ann Coulter get away with her comments about the 9/11 widows. This from somebody who called out Barack Obama on his relationship with Jeremiah Wright?

I rather like seeing Sean Hannity put in his place, and made to look like the petulant, hypocritical fool that he is.

Anyway, I’ll leave you with this guy, who came to the same conclusion that I did about Sean Hannity’s hypocrisy.

What an arsehole. Another perfect example of the kind of extremists that organised religion has managed to spawn. Urrgggh.

On a lighter note, I bet he is beyond pissed that Obama will be his next president.
