I have no clue what’s going on at Amazon these days!

But they have a fun new feature… a little widget you can get to post on a website. Nothing to buy, you just vote for what you like, and you can make a list of ANYTHING, and put it on your site.

So here’s one I found there that was already made up… your votes affect the master list, so vote early and vote often!

Oh by the way… I’m still expecting to see poems from my last post, so don’t think you’re off the hook! (You = )

Peety over at peety-passion.com posted a very intelligent article on the practice of plural relationships. But what I’m thinking is… relationships are hard work. If you’re good at them, it takes a lot of effort to stay in touch with your partner’s physical/emotional/spiritual well-being and make it a priority.

If you’re bad at relationships, with more than one person to deal with, you’d be up a serious shit-creek without the proverbial paddle.

I think this is the real reason that Mormons called it off. Of course, there’s also the fact that most Christian sects don’t particularly encourage sex, so the idea of having lots and lots of sex gives them terminal heebie-jeebies. If you’re a Christian and you have lots of sex, don’t write and yell at me about this statement. But on a side note: good for you.

I don’t really mind if people want to have plural marriages. When you’re young and sexy, I think it has a certain appeal. But when you get older, wiser, and more bitter, the only advantage would seem to be having a second wife to do the dishes while you finish blogging.

Being the first day of the month, our webstats look very bare, and it’s easy to notice the odd things.

So today I share with you… a little gem from my webstats:

And they found us from this.  Well, I hope my posts were educational for them!

Well as many of you pointed out to me when I was ranting about blogs I won’t read (Or was it when I was ranting about non-funny humor blogs… can’t recall… coulda been either), we can’t always be funny.  And I seriously have to choke back the urge so often to post about the truly geeky things that I discover about blogging, Wordpress, SEO, advertising, PPP, or whatever.  But I know that’s not why you’re here. 

But I cannot exorcize the geek in me anymore than I can the bitch you have all come to know and love (or spell-check in the case of one recent comment writer).  So, in order to satisfy the demons of tech that rage within, I’ve started another blog to post about that.  I think my *second* post there will be about blog addiction. 

I’d love for you to all check it out, and I promise you that my Bitter Audience is my primary concern, and I won’t neglect you!  I love you guys!  (Especially YOU.  I’d say “you know who you are, but in truth I’m stalking you, so if you know who you are, I suck.)

My geekiness in full glory with my very first post about blogrolls: About Blogging

Mercy me! While pondering the situation recently posited for our Bitter Readers, I decided to drop in on Bubbaworld - who seems to be a fellow keeping track of some of the stranger goin’s-on in Oklahoma. That could turn into a full-time job.

Bubba reminded me of “The Case of the Masturbating Judge.”  It seems that Creek County (OK) District Judge Donald Thompson used to, er, entertain himself whilst trials were being held before his bench.

“The Case of the Masturbating Judge takes Oklahoma’s Law and Order reputation to new levels, unfortunately very low levels. Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson “retired” while facing proceedings to oust him from the bench on allegations of using a “penis pump” to masturbate during both jury and non-jury trials, including those for first degree murder.  Thompson now stands a convicted felon following a jury trial in which he was found guilty of four counts of indecent exposure, sentenced to four years in prison, fined $40,000 and required to register as a sex offender.”

Ah, yes, that should be sweet enough, BWs; but, there’s more.

Before the matter came to trial, Thompson sent a letter of resignation to Gov. Brad Henry, which–if accepted–would allow him to retire with a full pension. Somewhere, sanity prevailed and the pension was revoked. Naturally, time on his hands (sorry), the incarcerated Thompson appealed the decision. (Lord knows that a man of his age, what with being a convicted sex offender–thus unemployable–needs the income.) According to THE TULSA WORLD (March 7, 2007):

“A hearing to determine whether to reinstate the state retirement benefits of former Creek County District Judge Donald D. Thompson has been continued indefinitely. “

Wahoo! Applause for the good guys.  Once again on June 21, 2007, THE TULSA WORLD reports:

“The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board on Wednesday unanimously voted not to grant former Creek County District Judge Donald D. Thompson parole.”

Sweet Jesus–sweet Justice…..
