red turned blue coat

Maybe that makes me purple. It's all good.

Watch for a new header on Moxie in the next few days. It will please the left more than the right.

No, I'm still voting Republican, even if I have to vote for that Huckster, or magical underpants guy. But for my "friends" who hate me even more than my enemies, it might be interesting. If only they'd read their own friend's blog.

I've spent way too much time thinking about the conservative movement. Where we want to go, and why it's not working.

One thing is clear -- we don't want to succeed.

Conservatives have been water boarded by each other and no one will admit it. Right now, being a conservative is like being voluntarily trapped in Michael Moore's tighty whities after he ate a breakfast burrito with refried beans. The Santa Ana winds x 1,000. But you have some right-leaning web dweeb telling you, you should be there and "heh indeed". Or "Smell the whole thing."

My sense of smell tells me it's time to scram from the sinking ship, which doesn't stand for much of anything anymore.

If the right doesn't want me, I certainly don't want them. Fuck 'em where it hurts. In an airport men's room. Tapping foot and wide stance.

And let's say for fun, conservatives do want me, and are just too shy to say so -- I'd need to consider -- do I really want to be a member of a club that embraces Raj or InstaHeh? Do I want I be a part of a club whose members make me want to remove my eyes and ears with razor sharp Florida ballot chads?

Or excludes members based on how honest they are? Or how talented they are? How about a club that doesn't handle any sort or dissent at all?

No, of course not. That's not moxie, that's mousey. And it makes me uncomfortable.

Screw that. Hard.

If the right loses the White House in 2008, I won't cry.

"We" earned that loss by putting morons in the media. And by parading Democrats as Republicans, and by ignoring the big tent.

We earned that loss by not hiring new talent for the Half Hour News Hour. We earned that loss by forgetting the conservative and Republican half of the US, as the incredible and wonderfully diverse (and correct) part of humanity it is.

The right will lose because it has been greedy. And foolish. You need look no further than the best candidate. Duncan Hunter. Where is he?

Greedy magical protective underpants and Baptist ministers, and Democrats parading as Republicans have stolen the stage.

And guess what? I'll cheer for thick ankled Billary, when they regain the White House. Or when a nobody, without any experience, named B. Hussein takes over and I have to wear a burqa. We deserve that. Because it will take that big of a slap for anyone who cares about our country to wake up.

The people who don't care, will keep on keeping on, with their ass kissing and cock sucking and pajama nepotism.

I'll be laughing, with the left. And paying out the ass on taxes. Hopefully they will give me an entitlement so I can buy a hybrid that runs on Al Gore's noxious emissions.

xoxo,
purple mox

No Longer Hot for Teacher

Go ahead jump.

It's nothing less than sad when a star of One Day at a Time is divorced from a Van Halen. After SEVEN years of separation. That is more than most marriages last.

Who divorces Valerie Bertinelli, without expecting a few LifeTime movies to come out in the wash?

Oh, if only Instapungent had such standards. You see, he has blogs, abandoned years ago still lurking on his blogroll -- but he saw fit to go in and delete me.

I truly miss the 2 hits a day I got from his site. Cry me a river.

More to come on the truth about conservatives...

Names were named...

but not archived.

Unfortunately, there was a glitch on the NowLive servers and it doesn't appear that my show last night was archived as a podcast.

What a travesty. Steve H. Graham and Dennis the Peasant really rocked.

If you missed the show, the bottom line is; the saying "you have to know people to get anywhere in the entertainment/media industry" is a falsehood. You have to kiss ass -- something I've never been inclined to do -- no matter how much I respect or admire someone. Gutfeld or anyone else.

Conservatives are hell bent on burying new talent. And I believe a lot of it is the misconception that this is a zero sum game.

It's not.

You and I know that, but the conservatives with power are greedy. The truth is, the more real talent we have out there, the stronger we become. I'm just grateful to the wonderful folks at NowLive, both the management and the incredible listeners, for providing me with a creative outlet and audience. Even the liberals over there are friendly, helpful and kind. Who knew?!

What a crying shame for the right.

The jury is still out on whether I will ever return to writing about politics, but in the meanwhile I'll continue with MoxVox on Thursdays and write about current events from the perspective of a lifelong conservative. Meanwhile, I hope that some liberal at a radio station or news network will be man enough to do what most conservatives refuse to do. Identify new talent.

Stay tuned.

Ron Paul is right

When Steve gets the vapors and writes about politics, he always gripes about how conservatives would rather die by the thick ankle of Hillary Clinton than help another conservative.

People comment and tell him he is wrong. I always bite my tongue. I am living proof of how right he is, but I'm too much of a lady to talk about it. Until now.

Here I am in Los Angeles, with a rolodex of names and home phone numbers some Republicans would vote Dem for.

Have any of these people lifted a pinky finger to help? You know they haven't. But every time I do something, 10 of them take credit.

I'm naming names and telling true tales about how conservatism is heading the way of that big turd you just flushed.

Thursday. 7 PM Eastern. 4 PM Pacific. ONLY on Now Live. MoxVox. Let's get honest about the right.

none of your business

I really must apologize. Profusely.

A commenter (I know EXACTLY who it is) continues to leave harassing messages. It seems he is concerned about my finances. How dare I not disclose them to all of you. Especially him.

My bad! Obviously this law of blogging escaped me. And I beg your forgiveness.

Our helpful, concerned commenter is very focused on my purchase of a home and my "chronic unemployment". This information would come as a shock to the people who pay me to work.

You tell me -- am I being rude by not filing a public monthly statement of how much money I've made since I wrote this idiot out of my life, several months ago?

Is disclosing that type of information a part of writing a blog? For the record, I had this blog long before Instaputrid was a twinkle in Professor Heh's eye. And I've seen no income statements from the master of linking and blurry photography.

If this commenter, this man (and I use that term loosely) is so concerned, perhaps he'd like to donate towards my mortgage. Paypal tips are always welcome.

Or perhaps he is just curious about how to stop hating one's life and move forward. Which is totally understandable.

Hopefully, this income omission won't deter anyone from reading my blog, or tuning into MoxVox, on NowLive.com.

If you sit around and find time to send multiple messages about my finances, I suggest you work harder. Perhaps you too will find yourself a home owner.

But how much money I make and where I make it is no one's business but my own. I work. I receive money and that is all she wrote.

Don't fuck with me. It hurts you far more than it hurts me.

just now

I can't stop.

Seriously.

I am guilty of purging excessively

She'll probably disown me for typing this, but my Mother is a pack rat. While I'm not sure if it is conditioning or genetic, I fight the urge to hoard every single day.

And for that reason I am still unpacking.

Every item is meticulously inspected. With each mysterious plastic item, every single piece of paper, every sock without a partner -- I think, "If I throw this out now, in two days I'll figure out how much I needed it."

That's the kind of thought pattern no good "do-gooders" like Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart and Ron Paul tell you to ignore, but they are so very wrong.

Already, allowing reason to rule over my pack rat tendencies has proven problematic.

I threw away not one but two plastic things last week and today I discovered I needed not one of them, but both of them. And I will hate myself forever and ever, because you can't just go to the plastic doo-dad store and buy another one of these proprietary plastic doo-dads.

And now that I am arranging rooms, I think longingly of those lamps I hated (ugly! wrong style! old!) and tossed. Which is worse -- having no lamp on the bedside table or having one that you dislike intensely?

I know which I prefer. A few days too late.

Now that I am down to 8 small boxes to unpack, I'm being more careful. While it's not as fast to create sub-boxes for mystery cords, plastic pieces and such -- I'm learning from my mistakes.

And if anyone sees my pseudo Asian/Target shoji lamp in the trash, could you please return it? After some thought, it's not so ugly and would look just great in my guest bedroom.

Bentley is back home

I can't believe how small he is...

Aaron gently described the box and the name plate over the phone that horrible morning -- I imagined something bland but acceptable and a basic, plain engraving.

It's just lovely. And I think, manly enough to suit Bentley.

It really is beautiful to have my best friend back in the house. And I can't ever thank Aaron enough for his respectful assist on taking care of my furry baby.

Three times today, I was reminded that I have some amazing friends. And I am so very grateful.

Where is my grant?

From the extra special eco-friendly LAT:

"Turning on the light uses the same energy whether there are two people or four people in the room," said lead author Jianguo Liu, an ecologist at Michigan State University.

Wow! I'm shocked and delighted. I'm pleased to know Michigan State is producing such ground breaking revelations.

So, where is my grant money?

I'd like to prove something equally as obvious.

I have my Ivy League diploma, I'm a scientist. In fact, I am all about science. Let's see...what would I like grant money for...

Oh yes, how about a couple million so I can research if a 7 million dollar, bathrobe media type group blog, could have been started and sustained for oh...say.....100 bucks.

Or how about I prove that grant money spent towards scientists trying (futilely) to confirm man-made global warming....is actually contributing to man-made global warming.

I for one am certain, that Al Gore's flapping mouth alone pollutes 10 million human ears every year. What a travesty. Think of all the q-tips.

who will be left to turn out the lights at Pajamas Media?

Seems like it's time to update the famous "Survivor: Pajamas Media" image.

Aaron and I are surprised that not even the left cares enough about Raj to poke fun at the continued failure of his lovely 7 million dollar group blog.

Photoshop created and updated by Aaron, of course. What would we do without him?!

momentary email amnesty

I'm finally out of the old place, but fighting for my security deposit, unpacking and basically overwhelmed. I have hundreds of emails to respond to and life comes first.

For those who are curious, the roof at the new place is already leaking, I've had shit stolen from both the mail and from the garage. My housekeeper decided to "help" by hiding boxes, moving furniture (scratching the hardwood floors) and by taking over 3 of my cabinets for cleaning stuff.

I love her, but seriously do we really need 2 cabinets stuffed with rags to clean 1,500 sq feet? The third is packed with enough chemicals to be considered a WMD. One cabinet is enough for rags and chemicals, if you ask me. And no one did. If I can't decide how my own storage space is used, what good am I at all?

And there are still a lot of tears and a huge gaping hole in my heart over my Bentley. Not to mention guilty feelings for not loving Phoebe and Puff as much as I did him.

Part of me wants another Birman as quickly as possible, and another part of me never wants to love that much again to prevent feeling this kind of pain when the inevitable end arrives.

NowLive show is on for Thursday. I promise.
