A Thousand Kisses

“My husband has been stationed in Germany and the kids and I couldn’t go with him. This picture is of him meeting our second born, Talon, for the very first time. When my husband got off the airplane he ran straight towards us and immediately grabbed the baby from me. This was the reaction.”

Foolish Little Girl...

...thoughtless little girl...

My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in " Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.

There is nothing wrong with laughing at yourself. There's nothing wrong with laughing at disability, if it's done in a way that won't offend the people around you. That's where I draw the line. It's a matter of common sense if you're going to take it upon yourself to mock the disabled community by involving more than a million people to see, whether they wanted to or not. But more importantly, if you are going to ridicule a crippled or Down syndrome human being, it's important to take into consideration that maybe, just maybe you will be hurting even one person who has been afflicted with Down's. Or any disability. And to hurt that one disabled person and that family, is a selfish and mindless act.

They Say It's Your Birthday...

Happy Birthday to you me....
You have to understand tho.....Everyday is a Monday for me. Birthday or otherwise. I need to make a note of it today, only because of the gift I received from the DH. It has to be one of the best gifts...evah!

It really beats throwing eggs and tomatoes at the tv news media everyday. Know what I mean?
It's also a great way to workout.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Mistress Scorned

A fuming mistress catapulted retribution into a new orbit by plastering the country with billboards that show her nuzzling a married New York business honcho and adviser to President Obama, sources said.

The spurned squeeze, YaVaughnie Wilkins, went nuclear after she learned that Charles E. Phillips -- president of tech conglomerate Oracle and a member of Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board -- reconciled with his wife despite his lengthy affair with Wilkins.

Three signs have popped up in the city, as well as one in Atlanta and one in San Francisco -- where Wilkins lives, Phillips owns a home and Oracle's world headquarters are located.

Coverage of Jackson too excessive according to Pew Research Center.

Just one more thing.....

Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson takes a moment from his bereavement to promote his new label. And one wonders why he was so unbalanced.
