That Was The Week That Was - In Blogs

Happy Mother's Day!

I don't want to bring anybody down, but did you know all Republicans hate all mothers including yours? Wonkette gives us this shocking information.

Last week, The Cincinnati Nation informed us that more shoppers (including mothers) are seeking shelter from economy discounters. Good! In the past, I’ve known some people who wouldn’t dare be seen in a Family Dollar Store. How silly. Why the hell pay more money than you need to? Didn’t your mother teach you better than that?

Last week, from Jezebel: “Paris Hilton’s Doggie Polos Mean the Terrorist Have Won.” I always suspected it.

I hope Marc Dann’s mother gives him a hug today. Our Ohio Attorney General sort of had a bad week last week. John Fox at the Porkopolis Blog fills us in.

I think Lindsay Lohan’s mother should put her daughter in a corner. Lindsay has been dropped from the Manson Girls movie, because other name actresses don’t want to co-star with her. Deadline informs us that Lindsay doesn’t play nice with others.

Is 30 Rock starting to suck? Gawker doesn’t think so.

To the mother of Chris Matthews: What’s up with your son’s hair? It looks. . .different. The Huffington Post is the first to notice this strange development.

Speaking of strange, The Dean of Cincinnati had to call the police last week. How long did it take for them to respond? The Cincinnati Beacon fills us in.

Still haven’t gotten your mother anything for this special day? How about getting her the Uno? Dan Savage at the Slog Blog gives us a full description of this most wonderful gift.

And finally, a message to Chelsea Clinton: Hey Chelsea, be extra nice to your mother today. With the primary results in Indiana and North Carolina last week, it appears Obama is the one who will be making the run for the White House. Crooks and Liars give us the details.

I have mixed feelings about your mother but I admire the fact that she's a fighter. Chelsea, get her a nice card and make it a Hallmark. Care enough to give the very best.

My mom told me by phone this morning that she was going to live to be 100.
Even though I'm already a geezer myself, I'm still very much in need of the kind of adult supervision only a mom can give.
John McCain and I have at least that much in common.

No. Actually the thing with Hillary is she doesn't know when to stop.

30 Rock still rocks! It's funnier than it has ever been. Everyone is a critic.
