No one knows, and if anyone does they're not going to tell. If you'd like to read the article, this is the link for it: Someone called Meg Whitman a whore, but she's being the "bigger man".
If you'd like a synopsis, Jerry Brown's team met up to discuss some campaign plans and some jackass forgot to hang up the telephone all the way after leaving a message for the LA Police Union. They brought up Ms. Whitman, called her a whore a few times, and the recording finished catching the "slur". It was then leaked to the press, Brown canceled his "get out the vote" showing, and Whitman is refusing to comment even though her aides want everyone to know that it's degrading for women everywhere!
Now, as a woman I'm not feeling too degraded. As a republican I'm not even outraged. But as a voter, I am pissed that we have to put up with this nonsense. With all the knowledge that every breath you take is being scrutinized by the public, you are stupid enough to call an opposing candidate a whore? And of all things, why whore? Do you posess knowledge that Ms. Whitman is sleeping around for money? Of course not. If you're going to resort to that kind of behavior to pass the blame and inflate your ego, I don't want you making decisions. I don't want you to blame the working class when you mess up, I don't want you to play any of those ego trip games. I believe that the issues at hand are important, more important than anything else you have to say. I want to know your plan of action.
I may not be 100% on anyone yet, but there are three things that I know right now. 1. We must QUIT deficit spending and outrageous spending. 2. We must create jobs for everyone, not just upper or lower class. We must create jobs across the board. 3. We must increase taxes, and we must be okay with that as Americans. I know people will fight me on at least the last point. But I don't believe my children should be forced to pay off a debt that was incurred without Mark and I even thinking about having children. That is unfair. This was OUR fault, this was OUR vote, or OUR lack thereof. We need to rise to the challenge and fix things ourselves, not pass the blame and pass the decline.

October 6, 2010: If it's so damn cold outside, why the hell are you wearing that!
Today was a typical California winter, as in, it rained. And as expected we had the horrible drivers, but that's for another day.
What really got me today was watching a woman walking her kids in a stroller while they were dressed in clothes meant for summer! I understand that it's "Mommy's right" to dress the kinds until they're five or six in whatever the hell she wants. But since when is a tutu appropriate attire for cold, muggy, rain? You may be working out pushing that two seated stroller around town, but their little butts aren't!
This is a perfect example of Mommy pretending her kids are dolls, dressing them up in whatever cute little outfit she wants to see them in. While I'm not against dressing up your kids in cute outfits, I feel like you've just crossed the line from responsible parent to sixteen year old idiot. If it's cold outside, you would dress yourself appropriately, wouldn't you? You would wear pants, a sweater or jacket, and maybe a scarf or gloves if you're into that. Why? Because it's cold outside! So why do you think it's a good idea to put a tulle tutu skirt on your kid? Why isn't your infant wearing a hat? Those little bodies are more sensitive to temperature than you are.
Use your heads when you dress your kids, please. For their shivery little sakes.
Love, Polly.

October 5,2010: I'd just rather wear fur...
There are three things I love about animals. The first is that no matter what, they aren't going to judge us for eating or using them. I'm not so into steaks, but you break out some chicken and I will come running. I also love bacon and eggs for breakfast, honey in my tea, and ice cream for dessert. I hate being told that I'm a killer or murderer when death is something that animals accept, especially death at the hands of some other animal that is way bigger / smarter / faster than themselves. I also love leather, rabbit fur, and any other super soft animal product that I can wear and enjoy feeling on my skin. If I could run over a rabbit everyday and wear it's pelt on my feet, I would. In fact, I would have a whole rabbit outfit because that stuff is so soft it's unbelievable. Humans are typically smarter and bigger if not always faster than animals. That's why we can kill them and use these things. Granted, we don't kill bees for honey (well, I just kill them because I hate them) or chickens for their eggs (although I would if it needed to be done). I also believe that horse meat should take over instead of cow meat, because horses are "uninhibited raping machines" (The Oatmeal) and I hate their horsey guts, too. Eating them would make things right in the world. I don't mind cows so much.
The second thing I love about animals is that many of them are REALLY REALLY cute. I don't care if they're not meant to be caged and gawked at. I love going to zoos and petting all the animals in captivity that I can. If you have a petting zoo, I will probably touch all your animals. If you have a farm, I will still probably touch all your smelly, dying, uncared for animals. If you have a class pet or are dissecting animals in class, I want to look / touch / check out your animal.
The third thing I love about animals is that regardless of how "inhumane" some of humanity sees all of this as, animals are going to love us regardless. Not necessarily wild animals. I don't suggest trying to hug a hippo, those are some mean bastards. I also don't suggest kicking your dog, either. But this whole wearing animals and eating animals / animal products don't piss off the animals as much as you think it does. Either they already hate humans, or they don't. And if they already hate us, prepare to be turned into something useful.
Love, Polly.
PS. PETA, I'm not afraid of you.

October 4, 2010: Get rich quick schemes
They only work for people who have money and time to burn and the skills to make things happen. I don't believe in luck, and I don't believe that you can get by with just a great idea. It takes a lot more work than anyone thinks, and for things to be successful they must start with great ideas, great planning, and lots of money. You can make do without money, but it will make your journey to Bill Gates-dom even harder than it had to be.
Many get rich quick schemes are so difficult to avoid because they're often scams built to sucker you in with a promise of some crazy monthly income! Well, some people are good at things like this, and unintentionally being a con artist is something we really don't tend to think of ourselves. We're not all graceful actresses that can put on a show with everything we do, and often times while we have some strengths we may not be able to beat the all-around acceptably performing competitor.
Another way that these schemes reel us in is by stating that we can work from the convenience of our own home and make our own hours. That's execu-speak for "We only pay you commission" and what they aren't telling you is that in order to make the crazy amount of income that they promise you, you need to work 24 hours a day, every day, without fail.
It's one thing entirely if you see things like Avon or whatever as something fun to do here and there to maybe add fifteen dollars to your wallet. It is a whole 'nother thing to expect your entire paycheck to come from these things.
Be smart, and get a real job. Don't get your hopes up with stupid pyramid schemes and scams that never pan out. That's how you get job security, not by trying these things at home with no resources except hope.

October 3, 2010: MAN, my stock car is so cool, I do time attacks, and I think that I'm a real racer!
Fanboiz, stop. Please stop, because you're making my brain hurt. I love car guys, the kind of guys that actually appreciate the mechanics of a car and performance. I despise fanboiz with every ounce of disgust I can muster.
True car guys know three things. The first thing that they know is that stock or not, the mechanics of a car are amazing and therefore something to be admired. They don't admire cars for their parts, but rather they admire the way that the parts function together for the most efficiency. They love their cars and acknowledge that it's the system itself that is amazing. Each part is like an organ and the whole car is an organism of it's own. You don't have to be a gearhead to understand that either, but once you get your fingers wet, you understand. A car itself is something any brain dead fourteen year old pizza face could figure out, given enough time. It's several simple things that work together to become something amazing.
The second thing they all know is that features should emulate function. The car you use to pick up the kids from school shouldn't be something that you like to use to show off with your buddies. Luxury cars shouldn't be going off-roading, and big damn trucks don't belong in "compact" parking spaces. And stop calling your cars "track ready" like that means anything other than it will pass tech. So your positive battery terminal is covered and your floor mats are out, great. In five seconds I can get the Escort "track ready". (But I won't.)
The last thing they all know, is that if you have to argue whether or not you're a fanboi, than you are. Real car guys are, if nothing else, completely at ease with their endeavors and expect their performance as drivers / mechanics / etc and the performance of their vehicles to speak for themselves. They are humble and confident in their abilities because throughout all of their world some strange worldly truth as shown itself to them. I don't what truth it is, but you can see that it's there.

October 2, 2010: Mold grows in the fat flaps of morbidly obese people.
It's true, that's why they smell funny. And you can't tell me you haven't noticed the stereotypical "fat people" smell. And please, please, please don't expect me to buy the "I have big bones" or the "I have a glandular disorder" bullshit. You're just fat and don't take care of yourself and that's all there is to it.
I have several things against truly fat people and unfortunately America is full of them. First of all, they usually smell bad and I hate bad smells. I'm a woman and I have a nose that tends to be the human equivalent to a bloodhound. Then, the fact that they care no more about taking care of themselves or their things. I like things in their place, and I especially hate being mistakenly yelled at for things that are not in their place when NOTHING has a place. Also, I despise people that are too lazy to be efficient nor productive. The least you can do while you're being fat is be efficient and productive since you're probably not doing anything important and you don't want to use up too much of your energy doing anything. You're going to need it just to walk to the bathroom later.
I don't understand why truly fat people take so much offense at being truly fat and are so upset when you make note of it. Of course we're noting that you're fat and that we're looking down on you! When you refuse to make some semblance of effort into your general well being, you SHOULD be looked down on and judged. Don't pull this, "I'm self-assured and I don't need your approval" bullshit on us either. Whether or not you like it, the world revolves around other people's approval.
Why don't you try this one on for size, instead of having low morale, energy, and faith in yourself because you're fat, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Being fat is a life style, and unfortunately a pretty shitty choice. I'm not talking about being pregnant and gaining some weight because you're at risk and can't get out of bed without worrying about it. I'm talking about being so fat that you're actually lumpy looking. Go for a walk after dinner, eat less fried food. Do something! If you won't do it for your health, won't do it to live longer, than do it so we stop laughing at you behind your back. If you want self esteem, GET SOME.
Love, Polly

October 1, 2010: If you join the military, you're going to die.
This split mentality of the United States is irritating me, all we do is talk and nothing changes at higher levels because change isn't building at the lower ones. Do you know what I think? I think our economy hurting, our troops being sent abroad and getting hurt, and our country falling behind are all things we can solve at home instead of complaining. You know how I feel about this, either do something or shut up.
Our economy is failing right now due to several things. The one that pisses me off the most is banking deregulation, which is what I think started it all. If you encourage millions of people to "guess on the high side" of what their income is and tell them they can afford things they can't afford as an "expert on finance", they will believe you. We believe the expert talking heads, that's all there is to it, because there must be a reason why we call them experts. Sometimes this logic fails us miserably, and leads to what we experiencing now. This inability to pay your own bills because we bought something we couldn't afford anyway leads to people hoarding every last dime, which then forces buisnesses to close or lay off employees since they're no longer generating the revenue they were when people weren't hoarding every last dime. How do we fix this at home? We start spending, so people can get jobs again. We don't spend on shit that is COMPLETELY beyond our means anymore, and we give credit card companies the finger for the most part.
Alright, I understand that some of you are anti-war and no one wants to say they're really pro-war. Either you're really proud of your yellow "Support the troops" magnet on the back of your car or you're arguing that this "war" we're in is President Bush's way of finishing what his Daddy (Pres. Bush Sr.) started. First of all, everyone should support the troops regardless of how they feel about this "war". Don't take things out on them, when they're following orders with the best intent. Regardless of how you feel about the executive powers in this country, don't take it out on the military. And as for them getting hurt, don't act so suprised or outraged. We are joining the MILITARY, not the knitting club. We understand from the get-go that we are bound to get hurt. It's one of the cons of the situation, and we acknowledge that there is some danger regardless of where we go or what we do as military members. Oh, PS. I'm pro-war. (I'll explain why next week.)
And last, the reason our country is falling behind is because we're proving that we're the self-entitled jackasses that are doing all this stupid shit instead of using the power of democracy and knowledge that we have all around us.
Love, Polly.
