Breast cancer screening by committee

Thank you mighty, mighty good man David for sending this my way.

To Thy Own Self Exam Be True

Yeah, so, I’m kinda angry.
The U.S. Preventive Task Force, whose positions influence many insurance companies, released a report today claiming that women should get a mammogram every two years starting at the age of 50, as opposed to 40 as originally thought. Meanwhile, I feel like I have been hearing about more and more women [...]

Open Letter to Carrie Prejean

Dear Carrie Prejean,
Please stop talking. I know you are doing the media rounds promoting your new book; a book that I’m sure you didn’t write nor will you ever read. Still, I beg you to just shut the hell up. Between your book tour and Sarah Palin’s book tour, I can’t read the news right [...]

But does this Droid speak Bocce?

Yeah, so, I found the Droid I’m looking for.
I guess all the advertising worked, because I just had to have a Droid phone. I am not a techie person. I had a regular flip phone a few hours ago. Four years ago, I was still working out while listening to a Sony Walkman … that [...]

Nobody puts Patrick Swayze in a corner

Yeah, so, Patrick Swayze died yesterday after a noble battle with pancreatic cancer.
Now, I know that everyone will be re-watching “Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost” or “Point Break” or maybe even “Red Dawn” or “Road House” in his honor, but this is my favorite Patrick Swayze moment:

Thank you to Heidi for finding the video and posting it [...]

Back in my day, MTV played something called ‘music videos’

Yeah, so, David and I watched a little bit of the MTV Video Music Awards last night. I was surprised by how many of the songs I knew. Yay me! I’m relevant. Of course, I hadn’t seen most of the videos, because MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore. At this point, MTV is only qualified [...]

Open Letter to Gov. Mark Sanford

Dear Gov. Mark Sanford,
If you really want to work things out with your wife, maybe you shouldn’t tell the media that your mistress is your soulmate.
Yeah, chicks hate that shit. That’s a serious Marital Fail!
Sincerely,

Wanna be startin’ somethin’

Yeah, so, like everyone else in the world, I was shocked to hear about the death of Michael Jackson.
I love Michael Jackson’s music. From the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” to “Thriller” to later stuff such as “Remember the Time,” I have a ton of his songs on my iPod. It always makes me [...]

Open Letter to the David Letterman Protesters

Dear David Letterman Protesters,
Iran is falling apart. Protesters number in the thousands, and people are getting killed over a rigged election.
Meanwhile, you are protesting because a comedian made a joke.
I give you shame, protesters. Get a life. Seriously, you make me worried that the movie “Idiocracy” could really happen.
Sincerely,
The Sonia Show

Open Letter to Dick Cheney

Dear Dick Cheney,
Thanks for voicing your support for gay marriage. You know what would have been awesome? If you had done something about it when you were in the White House!
I guess you were too busy with that whole unnecessary war, shooting your friends in the face and being evil.
I don’t care if you support [...]
