If one lives on Capitol Hill (which happens to be the location of your blogstress's Oppo Factory), the approach of Memorial Day is marked by the relentless flatulence of the Harley Davidson motorcycle, squadrons of which besmirch the serenity of Our Nation's Capitol each year at the end of May. The two-wheeled noisemakers are invariably mounted by overweight people with bad hairdos who think it their patriotic duty to subject the citizens of Washington, D.C., to a panoply of offenses to the senses, which somehow add up, in their carbon-monoxide-addled minds, to a solemn homage to the nation's war dead. Speaking of the war, your blogstress has gone and really stepped in it by stating, on TAPPED , her opposition to a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq (even though it's the conflict she hates the most). Your comments are welcome, mes amis , but please hold the epithets.

At the risk of being called a humorless feminist (a taunt her readers know to be patently untrue, this blog being a veritable online whoopie-cushion -- right?), your blogstress has used her privileges at TAPPED, the Weblog of The American Prospect Online , to call for the firing of Don Imus , host of the obnoxious radio show, "Imus in the Morning," from the schedule of WFAN and MSNBC. Whether you agree or disagree, your écrivaine invites you to comment by clicking here . Your cybercribe also urges you to peruse the posts of her sibling bloggers, Brother Sam Rosenfeld and Sister J. Goodrich .
