We Interrupt This Blog to Bring You...

... a very important message.

Mary-Mia and Rod from Do They Have Salsa in China* are finally, definitely, really parents. They are pictured in the post by Mary-Mia's dad (happy grandpa) holding their 1-year-old twins, Rose and Marie (they're identical, so please don't ask who's who), and have already spent a near-sleepless night. I think they're already earning their chops.

Congratulations to M3 and Rod and their new (enormous) family. May their "trial-by-fire" be swift, fair and relatively painless.

*Ending months of speculation, Mary-Mia was able to obtain these shocking photographs that prove, once and for all, that they actually do have salsa (and tacos, if you can believe) in China.

La Leche League is Anti-Adoption

Update:
The Good News: As of Friday the 13th (bad luck, Trish!), Tricia Shore has been uninvited to speak at the LLL 50th anniversary dinner, after organizers apparently decided to actually bother reading stuff she'd written (always advisable when booking a speaker at any event, I would guess, but I'm no expert by any stretch).

The Bad News: Tricia Shore won't shut up about it. Trish.... get over it.... go home... breastfeed your "natural" children to your heart's content. Better yet, go to a public place and create a whole new breastfeeding ruckus. I so can't wait to see what your kids do to you when they hit adolescence. (Catharine throws her head back and laughs, diabolically, for she has seen Tricia's future -- and it is not a pretty thing. BWAHAHAHAAHAAAA!)

I always knew I hated these bitches with a passion usually reserved for things like liver, pedophilia and The Bachelor. But now I truly am beginning to understand why their stances on a myriad of issues strikes me as being utterly immoral.

They've hired "comic mom" (or so she calls herself) Tricia Shore to speak at their upcoming 50th Anniversary dinner. Shore believes that any attempt to create an "artificial" family (by either fertility treatments or adoption) is anti-God and in direct opposition to nature. She's a bible-thumping, breast-feeding little breeder, who believes that only God can bring together a family. Hell, Catholics don't even believe that. The world is stinking ripe with Catholic adoption agencies. If LLL didn't espouse such extreme anti-adoption/anti-fertility ideology, why would they book Shore to speak?

Okay, so... now we know... La Leche League is in league with Satan... it's official... I always suspected as much, but now I think we have proof positive.

I Blame the... Amish?

Tell me, if you please, precisely what kind of 20-year-old offense could have been committed against 32-year-0ld Pennsylvania truck driver Charles Carl Roberts VI that could only be assuaged by murdering four children who were strangers to him, before taking his own life. Was he kicked in the shins by an Amish grade schooler when he was in junior high?

The scary part about this is that I can definitely see how it happens. Someone I know said to me this weekend that he wanted to go to his 30-year high school reunion and kick the ass of the class bully who had tormented him when they were teens. This man is now approaching fifty. Fifty. And he hasn't yet gotten past the fact that someone was mean to him in high school.

Spilt milk, folks. Spilt freakin' milk.

Human beings scare the bejeebers out of me.
