Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. I don’t know about you but when Apple introduced Siri, I was totally jealous. I also had the same flood of envy when Instagram photos started popping up all over Twitter. But now Android user an have their own talking assistant on their phones too. Thanks to my friend, Cathy, at Minister of Style, I found out about Assistant for Android and I’ve been all over it. All you have to do is click here, download and start talking. You can customize the avatar as well as the vocals. So. Much. Fun. 2. Did you see George Zimmerman’s interview with Sean Hannity on Fox? Honestly, his lawyer’s need to…

1. My tolerance level for pedophiles has reached an all~time low. Not that I had much patience for them before. But, let me tell you, the story of Adam Lee Brown, an HIV~positive sex offender who attempted to assault and then stabbed a 10~year~old boy in a public bathroom, has me feeling all kinds of frustrated and angry. There is just so much wrong with this story: why was he out on parole after being convicted of trying to infect children with HIV nearly 20 years ago by rape? Why wasn’t he rotting under the jail? Seriously, when you hurt a child there should be no second chances. 2. So,…

1. This week the Supreme Court struck down legislation that makes it a crime to lie about winning military honors {also known as the Stolen Valor Act} on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment {free speech}. Ummm, there is so much wrong with that decision… First of all, how about the fact that it disrespects those who died, were injured or maimed for really winning military honors? Second of all, shouldn’t there be some things that are so sacred that they should be protected? And, yes, I realize that this is a slippery slope but I think our soldiers and vets deserve the utmost respect and honor. Boo…

1. So George Zimmerman’s defense team released the video of his re~enactment of the events surrounding the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, and I’ve heard that this may be the thing that gets him acquitted because it shows self defense. Ummm, what? NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD HE STAYED HIS TAIL IN THE CAR LIKE THE DISPATCHER SAID! 2. Have you seen the video of the kids bullying the 69~year~old bus monitor, Karen Klein? You can watch it by going here. I was absolutely floored. I cannot believe the level of disrespect those kids showed towards that lady, a senior citizen. How dare those kids fix their mouths…

1. Burger King announced that it will be introducing the bacon sundae throughout the U.S. this summer. That is all. 2. House Hunters isn’t real, y’all. You know the show on HGTV that shows families touring, opining on and, ultimately, purchasing a new home, well, it’s staged. Is nothing sacred? According to the blog, Hooked on Houses, (written by Bobi, a former participant on the show), she and her husband had to actually purchase a home before they were selected to be on the show, then they asked friends if they could “tour” their homes for the show. I’m not totally surprised by this news but I am surprised to find…

Coffee Talk: Magazines and Women Over Forty
Here’s the article from the Today Show that I was referring to in the video. When magazines put “real” women on the covers, the sells go up and outsell the mags with young and thin on the cover, so why don’t more magazines cater to the average woman?
