Since the halcyon days of C4 Friday night
Roseanne, all Polyester contributors have loved the great Ms Barr. And Darlene… well, Darlene is responsible for a lot of misdemeanours, and is the greatest portrayal of teenagedom seen on TV. But we digress.
Roseanne is still working that comedy circuit, but she’s also now moonlighting as a socialist nut farmer in Hawaii with a free and easy approach to blogging. For reals.
She got in a little
beef with Perez Hilton recently, who called her out on drunk-blogging (cannily deciphering phrases like, “[I’m] drunk as a fucking skunk tonight”). Rosie responded by implying that she’d like to shoot him with an actual gun. In fact, the gun-loving’s the only strange thing here, considering she’s so vehemently anti-war. Anyway, select highlights that make Roseanne our new hero:
*I am only at the pee in your pants stage of old ladyism, but look forward to having a huge head in the future. I have seven pigs on my farm and want to eat them! They hide in the grass and hump each other when they think I am not looking...I am getting a shotgun tomorrow, not for the piggies, but just to have, though I wonder if my past mental illnesses will make getting a gun tougher?
*religion: child molesting, woman hating closet cases, money grubbing insurance whores
*I am with the Goddess Pele, and feeling that I can be happy and grounded here in hawaii, to raise macademia nuts, goats for cheese and support local artists and musicians...
*In Orwellian times, as the voice of big brother drowns out fact, I will try to be your big sister, call me aspect of artemis-energy. this is the age of miracles and wonders. In this age the tower of babel and thus babylon will fall.

In other Roseanne news, Poly just picked up Roseanne: My Life As A Woman from Oxfam (a 99p steal) and will be posting a review/choice cuts shortly. So far, so amazing.
So Song Of The Day isn't always going to be a new band. Today it is L'il Kim, because I've been listening to her all weekend, and because she's so ridiculously too much, and because this picture looks nice on the homepage.
Not since Kerry Katona’s knife-robbery trauma got half a page in The Guardian have we been so bemused by news-folks’ priorities.
Meryl Streep stars in new anti-war film Lions For Lambs, reports The Guardian. Or not, because they’ve buried that juicy little Streep nugget in some piece about Hollywood breaking tradition by making explicitly White-House-critical films. As headlines go, what’s wrong with ‘Meryl’s got a new film out’? Say what you mean, journos.
