an informal 2pz poll

I asked a few lady 2pz contributors what lady they thought should replace old Alexandra Hamilton on the 10 dollhair bill.

Here are the responses (Editor's note, I didn't tell them I was going to tell you (blog sneak attack)):

Melissa: Harriet Tubman

Faith: Iris Apfel, RuPaul, Meryl Streep

Kylie: Whitney Houston, Terri Gross, Bea Arthur


From your mouth to the Federal Reserve's ears ladies! Who do you think it should be? Tell us in the comments.

bolshoi juice

i'm halfway through this article detailing the inner workings of the bolshoi ballet, moscow's storied dance company, in light of the recent acid attack on its artistic director. it's riveting and i recommend it if you're in the mood for some longform.

At around eleven, Filin, feeling tired and eager to see his wife, steered the Mercedes into a parking lot outside his building and headed for his door. The snow was icy and thick. Filin was reaching for the security buzzer when he heard someone behind him call out his name. Then the voice said, “Tebye privet!”—literally, “Hello to you!,” but more abrupt and menacing, as though someone were relaying an ominous greeting from a third party.

Filin turned and saw a man in front of him. He was neither tall nor short. He wore a woolly hat and a scarf wrapped around his face. His right arm was crooked behind him, as if he were concealing something.

A gun, Filin thought, in that flash of confrontation: He’s holding a gun and I am dead. Bolt! But, before he could move, his attacker swung his arm out in front of him. In his hand was a glass jar filled with liquid, and he hurled its contents at Filin’s face. A security camera in the parking lot fixed the time at 23:07. (via)

some black swan shit

MOSCOW — A masked man threw acid in the face of Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the legendary Bolshoi Ballet, on Thursday night, leaving him with third-degree burns and possibly threatening his eyesight, Bolshoi officials said on Friday morning.

The attack followed a series of anonymous threats to Mr. Filin, 42, a dancer who rose through the ranks of the world’s largest ballet company to become its head.
...
As dancers kept an overnight vigil at the burn unit where he is being treated, his colleagues said they suspected that professional jealousy was behind the attack. In recent weeks, his tires were punctured and his car scratched, and his cellphones and personal e-mail account were hacked and correspondence published, his associates have said. A relative had offered to supply Mr. Filin with a bodyguard, but Mr. Filin refused because he did not believe that the threats would lead to physical violence, said Dilyara Timergazina, his assistant and adviser.

The threats, she said, “don’t show that someone with great conceptual thinking is behind that, but someone very primitive, with unhealthy aspirations — I don’t know how to put it — someone full of hate.” (via)

 Melissa:  http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/local/richmond-eagle-cam/

a client sent me this link

there's an eagles nest in an "undisclosed" location in VA where every year the eagles lay eggs and have babies!

 me:  are those eagles cuddly?

 Melissa:  the babies will be!

 Sent at 3:21 PM on Wednesday

 me:  post

 Sent at 3:26 PM on Wednesday

 Melissa:  

i cant wait to see the puppehs!

 me:  ctm

 Sent at 3:29 PM on Wednesday

 Melissa:  its only supposed to take like 30 days for those eggs to hatch

isnt that crazy

 me:  that seems like a long time

eggs are fragile

 Melissa:  a long time? we incubate for like 280 days!

 Sent at 3:35 PM on Wednesday

 me:  whoa

you knew that number

 Melissa:  no.

i multiplied 9 (months) by 30

and added a couple for the months that have 31 days

and to make me look even more dumb. i used a calculator

but in my defense it was sitting on my desk just waiting for me to use it...i could have done that math in my head (i hope)

obama, you're doing it RIGHT.

obama just sneak attacked congress and used some loophole to appoint richard cordray as the head of the CFPB, which of course stands for consumer financial protection bureau. terrible name, great agency. it's the brainchild of 2Pz fave senate candidate, elizabeth warren, and its going to work on keeping the banking / credit / lending industries from raping your pocketbooks every chance they get.

anyway, obama nominated him, and the republicans filibustered it, as they are want to do. so he waited until they went out of town for christmas, then used something called a "recess appointment" to pop him in there. and guess what: RICHARD CORDAY IS A JEOPARDY CHAMP!!

It will be viewed by the Washington punditocracy as a tough-minded executive act defying Senate Republicans, playing to a worried liberal base, and raising a possible legal challenge with constitutional ramifications.

But President Obama's Wednesday selection of Richard Cordray, a former Ohio attorney general, to run the spanking-new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is also just smart and necessary.

If our politics weren't quite so polarized, and folks stuck a bit more to the facts in public debate, maybe far more people would know what Cordray symbolizes. They would know that they should be happy that a frustrated White House has circumvented a Senate filibuster last month and will try to actually protect consumers.

And it's probably fitting that Cordray, who had a strong reputation in Ohio for investigating suspect mortgage foreclosure practices, is also a five-time "Jeopardy" champ. (via)

and it looks like barack's got 3 more appointments lined up. i like it.

this is happening right now.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE:

we lost 99-97 in double overtime. if i had to hazard a guess, i would say that the full support of DJV may have been the extra boost the Vols needed in the final seconds of this close match.

UPDATE UPDATE:

is this game a circus?

UPDATE: 

it's overtime, y'all.

THE END

the football player, not the bike

got into a little trouble yesterday had someone use his name and picture without permission. berry supposedly was promoting and hosting a porn party in miami, but i have it in good authority that he was doing media promotions in kansas city.

my friend ashley (think kylie and joel close) is the director of marketing for A3. here is our g chat from yesterday explaining everything:

Ashley: ive been dealing with a porn scandal all day

me: ctm

who?

Ashley: http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2011/6/15/2225207/eric-berry-porn-party-nfl

me: he's an athlete

who cares? so did he go?

Ashley: no he was in KC with me

its just bad pr

me: hahaha

Ashley: it was honestly the exact opposite of a porn party

me: so the book signing alibi is true?

Ashley: yep

he did in studio media all day friday in KC...

me: can you get mentioned by name in a story?

that be great

Ashley: ha we usually quote Chad, but maybe

me: i know, but it should say "eric was with kerns at a media event in kc"

Ashley: ha

me: throw in kerns, director of marketing for a3,

Ashley: ill have him say that it in interviews... i was eating pancakes with Kerns in KC

which is true

there you have it. eric berry and kerns sharing pancakes in kc. nothing scandalous there.

kitty has a meow button
