I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

Okay, the following is a rant of little deep meaning.  It is literally me just ranting about something that kinda bugs me.


Hi there.  RWHN here.  I'd like to take a couple of minutes to talk to the wonderful Network and Cable News Weathermen.  And actually, we'll include the anchors too because from time to time the weather is a top story.  It would appear to me that 95% of you are in need of a basic Geography lesson.  For as long as I can remember, whenever you talk about the Big Storm coming to the North East, or you speak of its aftermath, or really any tricky weather coming this way, you seem to not be able to remember the name of a particular chunk of the US of A. 

"Well, looks like a nasty Nor Easter is coming this way.  Connecticut, Rhode Island, can expect a mostly rain event.  In Massachussetts we will see some mixing.  Meanwhile, Vermont, New Hampshire, and the rest of New Englad..."

Really?  "The Rest of New England"?  You manage to spit all of the others out but when it comes to the only one-syllable State of the Union, you can't manage to get it out?  It's Maine!  Maine you fuckers!

Yes, Maine, the state that makes up like 50% of the landmass of New England.  The State that gives you those lobsters you enjoy so much.  The State that gave you Tony Shaloub, Steven King, and um, okay well I can't think of any others but never mind that!  Newflash!  We do have people living up here.  It isn't just Moose and Polar Bears despite popular perception. 

Yeah, I know you aren't the only ones that have written the state off.  I mean, anytime there is suspicion of a troublemaker on a plane, where do they send the plane?  Maine.  So not only are we "The Rest of New England" we are also "Acceptable Losses" 

Anyway, that's all for now.  But really Al Roker, next time, please, it's not that hard.  "Maine", say it with me "MAINE!"

Right before 11th grade, my family had to move to New Jersey.  The Airforce base my Dad worked on was closed.  (Thanks alot George Herbert Walker Bush!!!!  :argh!:)

Anyway, my first day of school in the new school, the Government teacher made note in class of where I was from.  So this girl in the class says, straight-faced, completely serious.  "What?  People live in Maine?  I thought it was just Moose up there." 

Thank goodness we only lived there for a year.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
