« Sheldon Whitehouse: 'Why (Gonzales) must go now'; David Gregory to replace Imus? | Main | Fix your mom's computer today, from wherever you are, for free; A lesser-known Madonna » May 11, 2007Tattoos with Mom? The Onion skewers Mother's Day; Google Maps gets wiggy; Good junk foodUpdated: I have an unusual family; I admit it. I was touched, therefore, when last year, for Mother's Day, my sister Ellen, and her youngest son Josiah kept up the non-traditional family values. To commemorate the holiday, they both set out to Yankee Tattoo in Burlington to get mother-son coordinating tattoos... Nice story. What do you expect from an onion? The Onion skewers traditional" Women's Sections." The Mother's Day E-Cards are snide, the household hints worthy of a Stepford wife. From the Women's History Timeline, "1950: – Women largely ignored for a decade." The "women's issue" is mostly unfunny -- brutal, really -- except for the Delta blues woman: Blues Singer's Woman Permitted To Tell Her Side. I do like the knockoff image -- every features editor has to do something new (new?) for Mother's Day. Yawn.
It's heartwarming that there are now advice magazines for men. Formerly, only women were thought to need a lot of help negotiating eating, sleeping and living. So... bring on the pork rinds, alcohol, beef jerky, sour cream, coconut and chocolate? Yum. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
