How Did the “Crazed Sex Poodle” Not Make the News?

terribly early in the morning on Thursday, the 24th of June 2010 by Katie

Sex sells, well it at least sells newspapers.

So, why did the press completely ignore this:

Portland woman says Al Gore groped her in hotel room (click headline if you want to read the more lurid description)

That should have been fodder for a rabid press.  Ex-Vice President, and current Global Warming God, accused of pressing unwanted advances on a masseuse in a hotel room.  Sounds interesting. 

A Portland massage therapist gave local police a detailed statement last year alleging that former Vice President Al Gore groped her, kissed her and made unwanted sexual advances during a late-night massage session in October 2006 in a suite at the upscale Hotel Lucia.
The woman told investigators that she informed two friends and kept the clothes she wore that night, including her black pants with stains on them. But Portland police didn’t contact any of the woman’s friends, obtain the potential evidence or interview anyone at the hotel, records show.

Saving the clothes.  It worked for Monica, too bad it didn’t work for this woman.

You might be thinking that the press didn’t pick this one up, because the allegations were not proven, but at approximately the same time, the press were vilifying three Duke lacrosse players based on the sole testimony of a stripper/prostitute.  Those three innocent (well, innocent of this accusation, I still wouldn’t want them anywhere near my daughters) boy/men had their pictures plastered in every paper were accused of being racist rapists.

So, why the different treatment?  Because I would think that a story about the former VP assaulting a woman would trump a story about three college boys and a prostitute…

Thought of the Day

in the early afternoon on Wednesday, the 23rd of June 2010 by Katie

Obama is currently running the most dishonest administration that this country has ever seen.

And today Gen. McChrystal was “let go” for being honest.

Don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.

It’s Called Parental Responsibility, Stupid

in the early morning on Wednesday, the 23rd of June 2010 by Katie

“No.”  Now, how hard is that?  It is a short word.  It gets the point across.  It really doesn’t leave much room for interpretation.

So, why are so many parents completely incapable of using it?

Group will sue McDonald’s over Happy Meal toys

Evidently, the toys make kids fat.  Quite a leap, isn’t that?

How can toys make kids fat?  Well, it seems as though McDonalds puts cheap toys in their happy meals (nothing new, there).  And, it seems as though the backseat terrorist tykes “make” their parents buy the meals to get the toys.

Hey parents – what about a backbone?  How about growing one?

Are the toys in your child’s Happy Meal making him fat?

The Center for Science in the Public Interest says they are. The Washington-based consumer advocacy group threatened to file a lawsuit against McDonald’s Tuesday, charging that the fast food chain "unfairly and deceptively" markets the toys to children.

"McDonald’s marketing has the effect of conscripting America’s children into an unpaid drone army of word-of-mouth marketers, causing them to nag their parents to bring them to McDonald’s," CSPI’s Stephen Gardner wrote to the heads of the chain in a letter announcing the lawsuit.

OOOOooo.  They “nag” their parents.  Wow.  Who knows, maybe they will even pitch a full-scale fit.  Oh my.  The agony….

It is the parents’ job to say no.  These kids are too young to drive themselves to the McDonalds, earn the money to pay for the food, heck, some are probably too young to ever order the food. 

If you don’t want your kids to eat McDonalds, then keep driving.  You’re the adult – act like it.

Disturbing Trend in School

terribly early in the morning on Wednesday, the 23rd of June 2010 by Katie

Are Best Friends Bad for Children?

The latest trend in schools is to break up the best friends.  They are doing this “in the best interest of the children”.  (yeah, right, sarcasm dripping from my keys)  Evidently, having best friends are now bad for you.  Either, 1) because having best friends implies that some friends are better than others, or 2) because sometimes best friends break up, and someone is hurt….

I would call that life’s lessons, but in today’s nanny coddling society, life’s lessons are “bad”.

Look back to your childhood.  Remember those best friends that you had?  The ones that you played with and that meant so much?  As a girl growing up in the 70’s, best friends meant sleepovers, séances, “light as a feather, stiff as a board”, stealing brothers’ Kiss albums and playing them repeatedly, and truth or dare.  We giggled over boys, delivered papers at 3 am (and walked in the center of the deserted roads), visited the 24 hour 7-11 on the way back, and just plain had fun.  I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything.

Each of my best friends (there was a core group of about six of us), in turn, moved or went to different schools, and we fell out of touch.  And each time, I was sad.  But, does that mean that I would have been better off if I had never had these wonderful friends?

Well, many educators and parents are now saying yes.  And I think that they are dead wrong.

Schools are now deliberately separating friends.  They purposely assign them different classes.  They force them into an all-inclusive group play mentality at recess.  Reasons vary. 

1) anti-bullying.  Best friends = clichés = bullies

2) all inclusive play – it isn’t fair if Jane and Sally want to talk to each other and not let anyone else in

3) friends break up, and that hurts people’s feelings.

I say that they are trying to fundamentally transform human behavior.  We naturally seek out people that interest us.  We derive comfort and support from our friends.  Some bonds are life long, and some are not. 

We live in a society that is attacking the family, and is now attacking the friendships.  Will our children be lonely?  Will they all grow up to be individuals without long term relationships, solely focused on self?  Who will they rely on once family and friends are eradicated?  Gee, it wouldn’t be big, nanny gov, would it?

Public Safety.

in the early morning on Sunday, the 20th of June 2010 by Capt Jake Fortune

Iowa City plans to remind those who are considering developing, launching or storing nuclear weapons that these are not activities allowed in city limits.

City code mandates that signs declaring the city a "Nuclear Weapons Free Zone" be placed on the major entrances into Iowa City, but over the years, the signs have disappeared or been subject to vandalism, Interim City Manager Dale Helling said.

Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, said in a statement that he will make sure any nuclear weapons smuggled into the US will avoid any major highways near that town, in compliance with their law.

Dude Looks Like a Lady…

in the early morning on Saturday, the 19th of June 2010 by Gypsy

Of course I am sure the this gal has a deeper voice then Bieber.

This story is even funnier then more proof that Bieber looks like a girl.. the Ocean City Cops thought he was in a bar… but…

 

Side comment.. this dorky hand gesture looks like they have been perpetually stuck playing rock-paper-scissors!

Cops in Maryland hit a local bar this weekend after receiving a call from someone claiming 16-year-old Justin Bieber was inside boozing — but what they found … was a woman who looked just like him.

TMZ spoke with multiple people inside the "Mug and Mallet" bar in Ocean City who confirm that cops entered on Saturday night looking for an underage drinker with a bowl haircut and a tiny frame.
But the only person who fit that description was a 27-year-old woman named Katie.
Katie tells us she had to whip out  … her ID and prove she wasn’t JB — though she says she gets mistaken for the singer, "all the time!"
If only the cops would’ve checked the real Bieber’s Twitter page — they would have known he was in The Bahamas with Kim Kardashian

In All Seriousness

in the early morning on Saturday, the 19th of June 2010 by Capt Jake Fortune

We’re doomed when comedians are afraid to joke about something.

"When [I'm] writing a sketch about Islam, I’m writing a line and I think, ‘If this goes down badly, I’m writing my own death warrant there.’ Because there are people who will say, ‘Not only do I not think that’s funny but I’m going to kill you’ – and that’s chilling."

Rory Bremner is unfortunately right.  Multiculturalists and cowards may think he’s exaggerating, or that he’s wrong, but since there is a body count already of artists killed for what they created, it’s all just in denial.  How could their precious little world-view be impinged upon by reality?

Talk About the Pot Calling the Kettle….

mid-afternoon on Wednesday, the 16th of June 2010 by Katie

Muslim states are asking the UN to crack down on Western countries for increasing “islamophobia”.  Yet, they are the very same countries that kill gays, women, and non-Muslims for being gay, women or non-Muslim….

Oh, the irony.

Muslim states seek U.N. action on West’s "islamophobia"

GENEVA (Reuters) – Muslim states said Wednesday that what they call "islamophobia" is sweeping the West and its media and demanded that the United Nations take tougher action against it.
Delegates from Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Egypt, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that treatment of Muslims in Western countries amounted to racism and discrimination and must be fought.
"People of Arab origin face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalisation," an Egyptian delegate said, according to a U.N. summary.
And Pakistan, speaking for the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), said the council’s special investigator into religious freedom should look into such racism "especially in Western societies."
Acting for the OIC, Pakistan has tabled a resolution at the council instructing its special investigator on religious freedom "to work closely with mass media organizations to ensure that they create and promote an atmosphere of respect and tolerance for religious and cultural diversity."
The OIC — and its allies in the 47-nation council including Russia, China and Cuba — dub criticism of Muslim practices and linking of terrorism waged under the proclaimed banner of Islamism as "islamophobia" that pillories all Muslims.
BOUND TO PASS
Diplomats say the resolution, which also tells the investigator to make recommendations to the Human Rights Council on how its strictures might be implemented, is bound to pass given the majority the OIC and its allies have in the body.

Provides yet another reason to get the heck out of the UN. 

Can any American actually believe that our current government would protect the freedoms of speech, religion, etc. of its citizens, once the “almighty” UN determines that it is “hate speech” or islamophobic?  Or will they kowtow to the UN and hand over Americans to the “global justice” racket?

Who Knew Global Warming Could Be So Hot?

terribly early in the morning on Wednesday, the 16th of June 2010 by Katie

Let me first say:  “EEyywwwwhhhh”

Exclusive: Al Gore Cheats with Larry David’s Ex

Al Gore‘s split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with Larry David‘s ex-wife — for the past two years!

In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper’s breakup didn’t come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard summer home.

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," an insider tells Star. "It couldn’t be avoided."

 

I love the “it couldn’t be avoided” line.  As if man has no control over their impulses.  Really?  You just couldn’t avoid having an affair for a couple of years.

The one “bonus” about this story, is that maybe this is the reason that the Goricle hasn’t been all over the air, preaching about BP.  He’s too busy elsewhere. 

My cat has more morals.

2 months later…. Oil-slick-Willy addresses the Oil-Spill Disaster.

in the late afternoon on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Gypsy

Clinton gained the name Slick-Willy for his deception.. but really thinking it fits Obama far better.. though we can add on Oil-Slick-Willy for this bozo.

What is amazing is though pretty much 2 months after the oil-disaster, people still do not lay much blame on him. (Again if this were Bush’s time-frame, he would have been blamed for the oil-spill & the demise of the dinosaurs!)

Rasmussen Reports:

The president will deliver an Oval Office address to the nation as many in the chattering class suggest that the oil spill has hurt public perceptions of Obama. However, the numbers have remained constant for months and the Gulf oil spill has not yet had any impact on the president’s overall approval rating.

Overall, 45% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove

24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –17

Summary.. the oil spill really has not impacted Obama’s approval rating, he still maintains a negative over-all rating, but his rating should really should be to the point where the American people look like they are storming Frankenstein’s castle.

Yet typical media reports will make it look like the oil-spill is reflected in the polling.. um no, he is a bad president regardless of what is going on, he makes bad decisions and is tap-dancing on our rights & Constitution.. the oil spill is just more confirmation that he is inept and should never have been elected.

MSNBC: Obama’s speech comes as a new poll shows a majority of Americans disapprove of how he has handled the Gulf disaster, though far more blame BP for what people call a sluggish two-month response.

Curious about the Timeline (specifically Obama “response”).. I found a nice site with some great info.. And why Obama’s (lack of) response is a big issue.. she also brought up the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (good call) And a point she mentions, that has been so horribly ignored or underplayed…11 people died in this disaster! read on…

SandraRose:

This video provides us with a timeline of events that occurred since April 20, 2010 when a fiery explosion on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 BP platform workers and sent the platform sinking 5,000 feet to the ocean floor. The explosion ruptured n oil well on the seabed, allowing 19 million barrels of crude oil to escape into the sea.

This timeline follows US president Barack Obama’s activities since that fateful day 7 weeks ago. Accoridng to online reports, Obama knew about the devastating potential of the oil spill from Day 1.

The lapdog media has once again failed in its duty to inform Americans about the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 which gives the president (that would be Obama) complete responsibility for immediate action in cleaning up any oil spill.

Many critics and media outlets excoriated George Bush for his slow response to the flooding in New Orleans in 2005. But Bush visited the stricken area 8 times in 46 days (he surveyed the damage 2 days after the hurricane made landfall).

In 46 days, Obama has visited the LA coast a grand total of 3 times. Meanwhile, Obama has visited the golf course and basketball court at least 15 times in 7 weeks.

Also entertaining are the liberal, Obama-zombies, who attacked the writer, and defend their precious Obama… So be sure to read the comments on her site too, at least for a chuckle.. and remember idiots have internet access too!

Those Wacky Canucks

in the early afternoon on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Capt Jake Fortune

At it again.

LEWISTON, N.Y. (AP) — Police in western New York said two Canadian men attended a church festival and wound up in the woods drunk, naked and covered in mud. State police said troopers found a 22-year-old man from Hamilton, Ontario sitting along a road in the town of Lewiston, just outside Niagara Falls, around 5:45 a.m. Sunday.

Troopers say the men had attended the St. John de LaSalle Carnival on Saturday and afterward decided to make it a "Woodstock event" by dancing naked in the woods. Both men were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released.

Yeah, that might be how Canadians get all wild and crazy, but we don’t take too kindly to that kind of behavior south of the border here… If you’re in the US and get crazy drunk, you fire guns wildly into the air like real Americans!

The Government Blob: What Rights Remain?

in the early afternoon on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Gypsy

I found a wonderful article by Chuck Norris, I am including the complete part 2 below.. plus a link to part 1.

A couple key points… Katie recently posted about observing a tree-hugging change in her church. Another friend shared how a Catholic school commencement ceremony blatantly avoided using “GOD” in anything, and white-washing any religious references to make them more “universal”. And yes, I did say that was a Catholic School. I have noticed many people who have grown progressively disillusioned with their religion and church over the years.

I can comprehend parts of the attack.. as any group that feels pushed in a corner is often more likely to fight back.. our country was established by people who wanted religious freedom. Naturally those who were not religious felt cornered, and now we see religion once again being attacked.

Now on the political view of this.. we have a president, who seems more focused on wiping away religion from our country vs attending to more pressing (and appropriate) matters, like protecting our Constitution, the economy and the safety of our country. He yet again misses the boat.

So BIG gov’t once again wants to control your views, thoughts, and what you worship.. we soon may see the Church of the Holy Hippie… tie dye will be the uniform, and the forest will be your altar? Not that I have an issue with the forest as anything sacred.. but replacing what people hold sacred, what the heck is wrong with this power-hungry gov’t that we are stuck with? They want to control the mouth, minds and bellies of the youth.. they want to control our health care, they want to control our transportation, homes, work, and religion.. What rights remain?

Last week, I discussed a series of evidences about how God is being omitted from American life, culture and politics. This week, I will detail the No. 1 advocate for a godless society: our president.

First, even during his campaign for the presidency, Barack Obama sarcastically belittled America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and degraded its adherents with trite remarks typical of any atheistic antagonist: "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation"; "the dangers of sectarianism are greater than ever"; "religion doesn’t allow for compromise"; "the Sermon on the Mount (is) a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application"; and "to base our policymaking on such commitments (as moral absolutes) would be a dangerous thing." (See the YouTube video "Barack Obama On The Importance Of A Secular Government.")

More Doomed Democrats…

around lunchtime on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Gypsy

Who on earth can have an ounce of respect left for any Democrat? (not like there is much respect for pretty much any politician.. but the Democrats really are sinking more then any other party!).

This nut-job, grabs, holds, strong-arms a kid.. who greeted the politician politely and asked a legitimate question. Kind of reminds me of Obama’s campaign where he too refused to answer reasonable questions.

The question the kid asked.. “Do you fully support the Obama Agenda?”.. and the politician replies repeatedly “Who are you, Who are you…”

He is a politician, he is representing the people of the 2nd district of North Carolina. those people he represents have the right to ask him questions, and they have the right to get answers.. not attacked!

This kid should sue this guy for assault, and it is caught on tape!

Carolina Politics Online » North Carolina

Holy crap!! All the kid did was ask him a question and Etheridge goes crazy! The pressure must really be getting to these guys.

Renee Ellmers, I think you just found your new 30 second ad.

Update: Etheridge has issued a public apology. It is also being speculated around the blogosphere that he may have been drunk.  Apparently, he was leaving a fund raiser for Nancy Pelosi when this happened.  It would certainly explain his erratic behavior.

Even his “apology” was pathetic.. he says he apologizes, BUT had a long day.. he says he apologizes, BUT he has been spat at, etc…  he apologizes, BUT … An apology should never have a BUT, it should never have an excuse, an exception.. you either apologize or you don’t.. and this guy is definitely not apologizing.

Naturally the democrats are calling foul.. saying this was a Republican attack.. You know what if it was or was not really does not matter, it is how HE handled it. HE could have continued walking. HE could have actually answer the question.. instead HE attacked the kid, and as HE claims HE does not know who the kid is.. yet even if HE did, HE has no reason to behave like this, no one does. And if HE did suspect this was a Republican plot against him, wouldn’t it be that much more important to not act like an escaped mental patient?

CBSNews "Bob Etheridge has lost it," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Jon Thompson said in a statement. "His conduct is unbecoming of a member of Congress. It’s bad enough that he’s joined Obama’s assault on North Carolina jobs, but his physical assault on a college student goes beyond the pale."

So maybe his reaction was because he knows his job is doomed, and just does not care anymore? Are we going to see more Democrats become lemmings? (Would Obama please lead the leap off the cliff?)

Scraping the bottom of the Political barrel?

just before lunchtime on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Gypsy

I really did not think they could scrape any further, with the likes of Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, Emanuel, (the list is obviously endless)…. but I caught a little news blip on the South Carolina senate race.. and the candidate who won the democrat ticket.  His mental condition is being called into question, and if you heard him speak you would know why… the vacant stare, the long silence, or the request for questions to be repeated. He also has been collecting unemployment, while not really campaigning for this job. This begs to ask South Carolina folk, are you that desperate to replace you you had? Or are you that oblivious about who you are voting for?

A South Carolina lawmaker on Sunday suggested that new Democratic Senate nominee Alvin Greene may be intellectually incapable of participating in the general election race.

"About two questions into a conversation with him, it would become apparent that he is not probably fit to answer the questions befitting a Senate candidate," said Rutherford, a Democrat. "If he was put into this, then it is a joke that is funny to all the rest of us, but he doesn’t get it — because I don’t know that his mental status is such that he can get it."

On Friday South Carolina authorities launched a formal investigation into Greene’s unlikely win. The campaign of his vanquished opponent, Vic Rawl, said it too is looking into reports across the state from voters and poll workers who "experienced problems with voting for whom they intended."

Ahh so they were baffled by the ballot?

Rutherford said he asked Greene whether his honorable but involuntary discharge from the U.S. Army last August was related to his mental state.

"When I asked him whether they had checked his mental health status, he seemed to suggest that doing so brought about racist implications and other things. He kind of ducked the issue," said Rutherford.

As the questions mount over the selection of Greene, some have attributed it to the arbitrary alphabet since Greene’s name appeared above Rawl’s on the ballot. Rutherford said the Senate Democratic primary in South Carolina was low

Or perhaps they just picked the first option? Wow.. this really says alot about people in South Carolina, eh? Yike! Sounds like more then just Greene who is having his mental status questions.. but all of South Carolina?

Why Even Have Parents?

in the early morning on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Katie

They are my children.  They are my husband’s children.  It is my husband’s and my responsibility to raise them, feed them, clothe them, and love them.

The above paragraph should be obvious.  We chose to have them, so we should pay for them.  Period.

So, why is Delaware pushing through House Bill 441?

§ 802. Funding. Chapter 80. Delaware Universal Breakfast Fund

§ 801. Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to create a universal school breakfast program in Delaware in order to provide a healthy breakfast to all students in public and charter schools, regardless of family income….

§ 804. Eligible Recipients.

The funds are available only to school districts and charter schools in Delaware. School districts and charter schools shall be required to operate a free breakfast to all students regardless of family income. These funds are to follow the student and be administered by the district or charter school and be available for a universal school breakfast program based on a school’s student census….

§ 806. Quality Assurance.

Meals provided through the school breakfast program shall meet all standards for current federal meal requirements as well as additional nutrition standards established for Delaware Breakfast at School, consistent with Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) by a Delaware Task Force on Universal School Breakfast,…

§ 807. Delivery of Meals.

Schools are encouraged to serve breakfast utilizing alternative serving models, such as breakfast in the classroom, grab and go carts, or other Innovative models each day to increase breakfast participation.

§ 808. Outreach.

The Department of Education shall conduct an outreach campaign to inform families about the availability and benefit of school breakfast using best practice models and shall assist school districts in implementing the universal school breakfast program.”.

I know, I should call my representative, to have them vote against it.  I did.  Even though my “representative” is a sponsor (choke).  I wonder, am I ever going to have a representative that actually represents me?

So, basically, DE taxpayers will be on the hook to pay for breakfast for every kid in the state, regardless of need, regardless of the fact that their mother actually makes breakfast for them.

So, are my kids going to have two breakfasts (and they think that there is an obesity problem NOW?)?  Will my children start believing that accepting anything from the government is OK? 

I’m trying to teach my kids that we don’t take handouts.  And we certainly don’t take anything from the government.  But their school will give them free breakfast? 

And what of the huge expense to the taxpayer?  Why should they pay for my kids’ breakfast?  That is my job.

Why couldn’t Chris Christie live here??

Those Who Insist Upon Continually Demeaning Our Country

in the early morning on Tuesday, the 15th of June 2010 by Katie

Hillary really needs a lesson in U.S. History.  Maybe she was so busy studying her Alinsky, she overlooked the Civil War.

Or, maybe since her party hates the US Constitution, she has forgotten that there is the Thirteenth Amendment, which states:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Whichever is the case, Hillary has continued the Obama’s administration’s policy seeming aimed at demeaning the US while apologizing to the world for all of our manifold, but largely non-existent, wrongs.

Hillary Adds U.S. to List of Slave Nations

Secretary of State Clinton included the U.S. for the first time on the State Department’s list of nations “trafficking in persons” for forced labor ranging from farm workers to pole dancers and prostitutes.

“There are Americans, unfortunately, who are held in slavery,” Clinton said in releasing the annual report on nations who promote or permit the international trade in human beings for profit.

The report said the main source countries for forced labor in the U.S. were Thailand, Mexico, the Philippines, Haiti and India.

“The obvious reality is that we, too, are a source country,” said Luis C. de Baca, ambassador-at-Large for trafficking in persons.

In the report, the U.S. was singled out as “source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced labor, debt bondage, and forced prostitution.”

The report added that “Trafficking occurs primarily for labor and most commonly in domestic servitude, agriculture, manufacturing, janitorial services, hotel services, construction, health and elder care, hair and nail salons, and strip club dancing.”

People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy… it’s in a glass jar on my desk.
