Curiouser and curiouser

I stopped by NY Yoga Girl’s blogspot today, and read the following post. It’s about the cumulative effect of all the weirdness in the world right now.

I love that she included Steven Seagal’s legal problems. I am weirdly fascinated by the whole weird story.

I would add to that:

— The word “gun” has been banned from a spelling test in Canada. The word itself. Gun control isn’t enough for these people. Now you can’t even say the WORD. Or spell it, for that matter. Quote from the article: “Seven-year-old Chloe Sousa knows how to spell ‘gun,’ but her mother Amanda says the word has no place in Chloe’s Grade 1 curriculum.”

— Madonna has a new anti-war video out. It begins with a “a runway show of couture army fatigues” (my blood boils, before devolving into a violent look at the horrors of war. Madonna teaching us about the horrors of war. Thanks, Madonna. Despite actually paying attention in my history classes in high school, and taking a class in Holocaust Studies in college, I somehow missed the fact that war is hell. Thanks for illuminating that for me, Madonna! To make it even more ridiculous, trivial, and stupid: Madonna’s publicist described the video this way: “a panoramic view of our culture and looming war through the view of a female superhero portrayed by Madonna.”
