Have any of you tried the Dulce de Leche flavor from International Delight? I made a smaller batch o' bean this a.m. after reading MissChickie's coffee sob story, but after 2 small lip smackin' cups heavily doused with my my fave flave du jour, I might risk any gastrointestinal fallout in favor of one more sweet cuppa heaven. Somehow it makes Mondays just that much more worthwhile, dontcha think?So, I'm reading how America's #1 sweetheart Miley Cyrus is falling from grace faster'n you can say "buzz cut". Guess what? She's super sorry that her half nudey pic for the upcoming Vanity Fair cover wasn't artistic like Leibowitz promised but instead might prompt tweenaged boys across the country to smuggle Mom's mag into their room for closer perusal. I'm thinking that if you are posing (or at least appear to be) naked, chances are your squeaky-clean image is going to take a beating, no matter how artsy you think it is. This coming on the heels of recent squawking over her PG-13 wardrobe malfunction. Surprised much? Ok, ok - to be fair, she's just a kid. Let's pass the smacks to the adults who are responsible for this mess, starting with the people close to her and finishing up with mag execs who really should know better.
In Toronto, public transit employees staged a strike late Friday night, only to be ordered back to work on Sunday. It seems that the demands of a zillion commuters trumps whatever TTC peons are feeling slighted about (or perhaps more accurately, union execs?). So now, having the pesky problem of commuter shutdown neatly swept aside, the TTC and government can now sit down with a negotiator and work out their problems. Except that the TTC has no bargaining power since The Man decided that striking action is verboten (is that democratic?). Not only this, but the TTC had to put out a public plea for passengers to take it easy on lowly drivers and ticket collectors. Apparently at least one Darwinian decided that hawking a loogie on one driver would be a great way to let off some steam. Give that loser a smack upside the head, or maybe since it's Monday and we're all feeling the drudges, a good swift kick in the ass.
From my favorite section at MSNBC.com (the weird news), this report about a disgruntled murder suspect who lost over 100 lbs on the jailhouse diet. Now weighing in at a mere 308 soaking wet, this featherweight is ticked about the 3,000 calorie menu he's forced to slug down his gullet. No one wants to exist on a dreary sandwich regimen, especially if you're only a suspect and not a convicted felon (I know I know - they have rights too), but I'm thinking that if this dude's acquitted, he just saved himself a bundle on Jenny Craig and should shut up and be grateful. However, he probably won't have a shot at Biggest Loser now. Wah wah wah.
'K, that's enough fun for this Monday, folks. Barrel through, it's only 3 weeks or so until the May long weekends start up.

I think the Miley Cyrus thing is ridiculous. She is still a child. Children should not be posing in bedsheets. Children should not be groomed to try to look sexy for the camera or be photographed in any other sexually suggestive situations.
This just sends terrible message to children and an even worse one to every pedophile and pervert that thinks their victims want to be abused.
I don't blame the child. She is still very young, and like any teenager wants to be seen as sexy and more mature - even though this can be harmful.
Shame on the adults in this situation. You know better than that.
