Barbie is getting a Bad name and Rep



So Barbie is joining the ranks of the Bratz Dolls, which is allegedly not befitting or shaping to our young girls minds nor the advancement of good morals. At least this is what they are saying.

Iran officials see Barbie as a very destructive influence. "The appearance of personalities such as Barbie, Batman, Spiderman and Harry Potter and ... computer games and movies are all a danger warning to the officials in the cultural arena," said Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi in a letter to Vice President Parviz Davoudi published in the Mardom Salari daily."

I remember this argument several years back. Except it was Americans becoming quite upset. A tad to irate that each culture was trading in Barbie's clothing for the type of garb they personally would wear. Duh - wouldn't this seem appropriate? I recall how heated the debate was that Barbie's beautiful blonde hair was rapidly being swapped for dark hair and headdress. I didn't get it but, then who I am? Just a person who would rather see a smile on a child's face.

Well now there doesn't have to be an argument on neither sides and thankfully the little Muslim girls can have a toy without the political hoopla behind it -

Here's your introduction to 'Razanne,' check her out!

"Razanne has the body of a preteen. The doll comes in three types: fair-skinned blonde, olive-skinned with black hair, or black skin and black hair. Her aspirations are those of a modern Muslim woman. On the drawing board for future dolls are Dr. Razanne and possibly even Astronaut Razanne. There's also Muslim Girl Scout Razanne, complete with a cassette recording of the Muslim Scout's oath."

And there you have it, we are solving all kinds of world problems.

Razanne is more influential than Barbie
cause Barbie is just a bad bad girl.

Rosie O'Donnell believes 9/ll was an Inside Job


OOPS! She's done it again and this time they are not talking about Britany Spears. Rosie O'Donnell laid it right on The View's table regarding her position on 9/11 and the Bush Administration.

I personally don't know what was more fun, seeing Elizabeth choke and stagger, who is in my opinion, anti woman anti gay or anti anything which makes good common sense. She is such a judgemental young woman. Or, Rosie making Barbara Walters truly regret the day she ousted Star Reynold Jones. It was fabulous television watching.

O'Donnell, basically stated (implied) that 9/11 was an 'inside job'. The World Trade Center was brought down to ruin by the Bush Administration, in order to start a war and to cover up the Enron Scandal. I don't find this hard to believe.

I agree with Rosie, just as the loud applause rang out from the audience -- our government is corrupt. And, it's not like it started with the Bush Administration.

Several years ago and I sure wish I could pinpoint when I watched a 60 Minutes documentary on Skull & Bones, the secret society for some of the elite boys at Yale. I do believe that it was Ed Bradley who brought this to our attention. We know and have to admit they have some mighty strange rituals and quirks going on inside of it. I don't care about your sexual life or lack thereof. If they wanna masturbate while other members watch, then so be it. I don't care if they still sleep in coffins and caskets whatever rocks your boat.

However, the one bit of news that was reported which truly captivated my attention was IF any member should become President, then he is to start a war. Why? To boost the economy. Yeah, go figure that logic. So, between this oath that was taken and the fact Mama Bush and Daddy Bush made little George stay in the house too much. While all the other boys were outside playing they were grooming him to become the next president. And, now he's making up for lost time. He's playing cowboys and indians...with our sons and our daughters. Come on little George the street lights have been on it's time to come in from playing...with our children's lives.

"Major players in Skull & Bones have been linked to the financing of both world wars and the creation of many think-tanks and Universities in this country. Bush's father was a major contributor to the "Hitler Project" as well as the build-up of the Soviet Union. Thus, leading to the inevidable World Wars and the eventual set-up of the United Nations in America," reported by Freedom Domain.

I wonder if Rosie took it too far this time? President Bush will have your hide if you don't agree with him. Programs will get cancelled, just ask Bill Mahler. The only reason Kanye West hasn't lost a program show is because he doesn't have one. But, he best make sure he reports every penny he makes, cause I'm sure Bush's folks is waiting on that.

Do you think Rosie took it too far or as many journalists have said, "She's gone crazy!"
