Just Trying Too Hard....


Philadelphia Magazine has this new blog called The Philly Post (or at least it's relatively new to me).

Basically, they want to help keep themselves afloat in the traditional media boat with add ons like this - which is cool except for a couple of things: (a) They call it the "Philly" Post. I am not a huge fan of shortening given names of places, it's Philadelphia; and (b) They have Larry Mendte writing for them (he even oozes sleaze factor in print) and then there is this new one, Kelly Rowell.

Kelly is supposed to be from the Main Line, and from there she opines. But who the hell has ever heard of her?

This woman thinks she's funny, I say she needs to get out on the blogs more.

She started with some pissy post about Main Line trash men, and then didn't seem to like that people took umbrage at the post, so she wrote a follow-up garbage post.

She moved from trashing the trash men to outing her mama in a post about being a pimp for her mom on online dating sites. She called herself a beard, but that is I think the wrong context - I say she was momma's pimp on this and I was momma I would be fairly irritated that my daughter spoke about my dating life. Mind you I think she was trying to be Lisa Scottoline, but alas and alak, there is no substitute.

And today, well today she seemed to be trying to channel her inner snarky, but alas and alak there is no substitute!

Here is an excerpt:

Cowboy boots, tight jeans, a plaid shirt hanging out. I am not describing the rodeo I attended. Regrettably, no. I went to brunch last Sunday at one of the nicest restaurants in the city, XIX at the Bellevue. This is an upscale affair, we’re talking about here. Gourmet Bloodies, a raw bar, the works in a glittering room. Which is why I was astonished to see what people consider proper brunch attire.

Certain dignified traditions have gone by the wayside in my lifetime.....Jacket-required restaurants are often filled with jacketless people, often in jeans. It just seems as though good taste and pride in one’s appearance is sadly (and ironically) out of style....I was sitting with a clear view of the raw buffet and couldn’t help but notice the parade of unfortunate and offensive fashion decisions parading under those dangling pearl light fixtures. Leggings with Ugg boots were a common choice. So were skinny jeans that were not on skinny people....There were others like me. A few men in jackets, women in dress pants or suits with scarves and jewelry. We were the relics. All of us were over 30. It seemed that he younger the person, the worse their clothing choice was. As someone who loves great designers, general good taste, and appropriate attire for all occasions, this experience made me want to go around handing out citations.


Kelly, while I can't disagree, a couple things come to mind: what were they thinking about when they saw you? Also, you aren't their mother and if they looked THAT bad, it only means you looked that much better. Also, have you been to New York, San Francisco, the Hamptons, etc? Not everyone dresses up all the time any longer. The one place where women always still do dress up would be Washington D.C. and places like Charleston, etc.

But what really bugs me the most is I wish this blogger would find her own blogger style. She's like a Blog Sybil with multiple personalities.

And P.S. I do not own a pair of UGGs. I think they make women look like they have Wolly Mammoth or Clydesdale legs.

Can We Have Some Good Old Fashioned Republican Family BONDAGE Values?


Now seriously. Bondage and strip clubs the all American way oh my? Oh yes Michael Steele, he is just SOOOO impressive, ain't he though? It seems that the apple-pie party of wholesome American values and Sarah Palin just got a little bit dirty. Or should I say dirtier?

You know what is the most pathetic? From local arena to national stage, we are a country of extremism and nothing is getting done. We all just hate each other. And now good God fearing bible thumping upstanding Republicans are hitting the strip clubs, bondage no less? Yeah being an American is just so grand right now.

The economy is in the crapper, health care is still a joke...but Michael Steele and the rest of the gang are off checking out tits and ass and a little bit o' leather? Sweet. (Mind you I don't really care if someone goes to one of these places, just cut the hypocritical family values-apple-pie-golly-gee-williker-Richie-Cunningham persona that the RNC likes to project - like they would never dream of going toe one into one of these places.)

Con Games: Of Conservative Bondage

Vice in the defense of extremism is no luxury.

The phrase dirty tricks has a whole new meaning now that the Republican National Committee (RNC) under the tutelage of Chairman Michael Steele is countenancing $2,000 chits from the Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood to go with tens of thousands of dinero for private jets and plush limousines in pursuit of family values.

Someone got fired at the RNC--a scapegoat--but who gives a flying whatever? We all know the score and there are no secrets: the party of bondage is built on a foundation of hip-hip-hooray hypocrisy.

Of course, this is a major reversal of the Hypocritic Oath, the pledge taken by whitebread conservatives to forever fold, fondle, and mutilate any and all pronouncements by dem Dems as, well, hypocritical. Want a hyperpolitical example? Al Gore rides a private jet and actually makes American dollars from his knowledge of greenworld--so he must ipso facto pre-redacto be a hypocrite. Conservatives have voyeuristically dined out on Democratic hypocrisy, real and/or imaged, for decades.

Now the chickenhawks have come home to roost. Forget the Republican Congressman with a fondness the textual sexual. Get over the GOP Senator from Utah who used his foot-stomping in an airport stall as gay semaphore. Let's go to the videotape of Newt Gingrich skedaddling to another woman with a sick wife, or Republican Senator John McCain taking Door Number 2 when he had a chance in lieu of wife number one to bag a beautiful beer heiress in Arizona. Or J.D. Hayworth, McCain's putatively conservative opponent in the Republican primary, when he pocketed the cash from Jailhouse Jack Abramoff. We won't delay this any further by even bothering with Tom Delay.

There's no need to believe a liberal any more when any Teabagger worth his or her saliva can tell you that Republicans are just about as bad as Democrats or maybe worse.


Republican funds spent at sex-themed nightclub
By Peter Nicholas
March 30, 2010


Reporting from Washington - The Republican National Committee is investigating the expenditure of nearly $2,000 in party funds at a racy West Hollywood nightclub, a party spokesman said Monday.

RNC spokesman Doug Heye acknowledged that the party had reimbursed Erik Brown, president of a Southern California firm that has provided direct mail services to political campaigns, for a Jan. 31 outing at Voyeur West Hollywood.

The club, inspired by the film "Eyes Wide Shut," is intended to be "risque and provocative" and "a combination of intimidation and sexuality," one of its partners, David Koral, told The Times in October. Scantily clad performers play out bondage and sadomasochistic "scenes" during the night.

GOP fires staffer over $1,946 topless club visit
CHARLES BABINGTON
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee has fired a staffer who helped organize a $1,946 visit last month to a sex-themed Hollywood club, and the GOP says it will recoup the money from a donor who also participated.

The episode is the latest in a string of questionable spending by the RNC as Republicans prepare for a costly election season in which they hope to take dozens of House and Senate seats from Democrats.

An RNC memo says the Jan. 31 outing to Voyeur West Hollywood involved several members of the "Young Eagles" GOP group who had been in Los Angeles for a meeting. An unnamed staffer, who had been warned that such activities did not qualify for reimbursement, has been fired, said the memo from RNC chief of staff Ken McKay.

The club features topless dancers and bondage outfits. It's meant to be "risque and provocative" and "a combination of intimidation and sexuality," one of its partners, David Koral, told the Los Angeles Times in October.

RNC spokesman Doug Heye said the committee will be reimbursed by Erik Brown of Orange, Calif., the donor-vendor who billed the GOP for the club visit on behalf of the attendees.

Brown did not respond to an e-mail and phone message seeking comment.

Since November, the RNC has paid Brown's company, Dynamic Marketing Inc., about $19,000 for printing and direct-mail services, campaign spending reports show. He has contributed several thousand dollars to the party.

The most recent financial disclosure report said the RNC spent more than $17,000 for private planes in February and nearly $13,000 for car services. Heye said such services are used only when needed.

McKay's memo says the RNC is committed to using donors' funds efficiently and responsibly.

The $1,946 for meals at Voyeur West Hollywood was the most eye-catching item in the monthly report. RNC Chairman Michael Steele, whose spending decisions have angered some donors in this midterm election year, had nothing to do with the nightclub expenditure, Heye said.

The conservative group Concerned Women for America said the RNC should disclose more about the episode.

Mendte Mouths off on Philly Post


Larry Mednte is definitely Dawn Stensland's largest liability. As previously blogged about Stand By Her Cheatin' Man Dawn is contemplating a run for Congress. She missed the filing date for Delco, so now her P.R. hatchet man, her hubby Larry, is scribbling that she will run as an independent.

This is after the media reported only back as far as March 10th and 11th that she was NOT running now. The Delco Times reported March 11th that Dawn missed a filing deadline - so ummm isn't it true she doesn't really have any other choice then to try as an independent?

So up rolls Larry, now an expert on politics as well as everything else (in addition to cheating):

Is Dawn Running?
My wife, Dawn Stensland, hasn't made up her mind about a run for Congress. But one thing's for sure: America — and Pennsylvania — need more independents like her
LARRY MENDTE
Posted on 3/29/2010 at 9:30AM

Something fascinating is happening in America. As the two parties that control our government drift farther away from the middle and closer and closer to their ideological extremes, voters are abandoning both parties and declaring themselves independent.

For the first time in our nation’s history, there are more people registered independent than either Republican or Democrat. And what will this seismic shift to the middle mean come the midterm elections? Nothing, nada, diddly squat....To really change things, independent voters need to look past column A and column B on the menu of candidates. Look down the ballot past the R and the D and vote for an I.

If you really want to shake things up in Washington or the state capital, start sending a group of legislators who do not have to yield to party pressure for their continued political existence. The only group of people an independent is beholden to are the voters who gave them their jobs. What a refreshing change that would be — true representation....Before someone points it out in the comment section below, let me disclose that my wife, Dawn Stensland, is considering a run as an independent in Philadelphia’s 7th Congressional District. She has received thousands of emails, tweets and posts from people in the district offering their vote, hard work and money. She is moved beyond words at the outpouring, but for personal reasons she is still undecided and time is running out.

I am not writing this as a prelude to her running, but because of the lessons I have learned as she makes her decision...It starts with the primaries. The political machines will do everything and anything to intimidate, entice and cajole opponents of their party controlled candidate to drop out of the race.....Our Founding Fathers also envisioned a country where successful citizens would leave their chosen professions and answer a call to serve their country in the legislature as a patriotic duty.


Ok Larry, I think our founding fathers didn't envision cheating spouses, and as for your dithering on about independents, the thing is this TRUE independents look at the CANDIDATE not whether or not they are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Voting for an Independent because they are labeled as such doesn't make them an independent.

And your wife is no Diane Allen who made the successful transition from Philadelphia media personality to politician. No offense, but your wife isn't as bright as Diane nor as truly driven. I think that it is YOU who really has aspirations of political office but who knows doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making it.

If Dawn is going to run or not run, it might be nice to hear it from her and not from Larry Mendte. But as we don't know who she is other then an ex-Fox29 news desk jockey and long suffering wife of Larry Mendte of Larry and Alycia Lane Fame, who knows if we need more of her or not? Whatever. Let the woman speak for herself.

Shut up Larry.

Please Dawn... Don't Run


I love that photo - it's like the three faces of Eve as far as female journalists. You have the super God Fearing Stand By That Cheatin' Man Wife of Male Slut Dawn Stensland next to Never Met Another Woman's Man She Didn't Want to Screw Divorces with Great Drama and Cha Ching Monica Malpass. The only normal one is that Connie Colla, now a real estate maven.

Anyway, we all lived through the drama of her hubby Larry Give Me That Hot Enchilada Mendte...and thought we were done with them. But they we hear that Dawn wants to run for Congress? Guess she wants to spread her hubby's "family values"?

So apparently, Dawn has missed her filing deadline so maybe we'll be spared her in the 7th. There is enough drama. Take Joe Sestak for example. He is the King of 7th District Dram-O-Rama with his claims about the politically fashionable House of Obama offering him a job if he'd take one for the team and bow out of the senate race he's going to lose anyway. Not that I am a big fan of that putz Arlen Specter, because I am not. And Toomey, well he's like a walking religious cult complete with zombie like followers, so he ain't any better.

I hope Bryan Lentz fares better, but who knows in the drama laden 7th Congressional District.

But back to Dawn: Dawn don't run. Nothing personal but the complete package you come with leaves a lot to be desired. You might be great for some Real Housewives franchise somewhere, but ummm not representing people in Congress...

Lindsay Lohan: Never Sublime, Always Ridiculous



And just when we thought LiLo couldn't go from dumb to dumber, oops she did it again. She's basically a washed up child star with a taste for booze and failed relationships - boys, girls, doesn't matter, Brittney Spears has more style now by comparison and that's not saying much.

In search of a perfect payday, Lindsay is suing E*Trade's talking baby for saying the name Lindsay, because you know like it's oh my god (say that with a rising question pitch at the end in true Valley-ese), all about her.

Seriously? This is the dumbest thing I ever heard of and LiLo needs to be locked away in a padded cell...

Lindsay Lohan Sees Herself in E-Trade's Fictional Talking Baby Ad
by Bill Bradley March 9, 2010, 8:57 AM


• Lindsay Lohan is suing E-trade for allegedly modeling a “milkaholic” talking baby after her. [New York Post]


WSJ: BUSINESS MARCH 10, 2010.Lindsay Lohan Sues Over TV Ad
By ASHBY JONES

Actress Lindsay Lohan has sued an arm of E*Trade Financial Corp., the operator of a popular online brokerage, alleging the company misappropriated her name and personality in a recent television advertisement.

The suit, filed in state court in Mineola, N.Y., on Monday, seeks $100 million in damages and demands that the company stop airing the ad.

The commercial features a baby boy chatting online through a Web cam with a baby girl, but in the voices and vernacular of a flirtatious, much-older couple. After the boy explains why he failed to call the girl the night before, the girl asks the boy, accusingly: "And that milkaholic, Lindsay, wasn't over?" That prompts a second baby girl, presumably "Lindsay," to jump in the frame on the boy's side. "Milk-a-what?" she asks into the camera, her voice loud and shrill.

The lawsuit alleges that the depiction of the second girl "disregarded and violated" Ms. Lohan's right "to the exclusive control of the commercial use of her likeness, name, characterization and personality." It also alleges violations of two sections of New York's civil-rights law.

She is Ru Freeman and She Likes To Hear Herself Ru-oar ?


It started with a comment on another post:
Anonymous said...
Hi snarky,
I love your blog and want you to know about something on the radar in Lower Merion - a blog called Ru the Day - run by a psycho not so proper named Ru Freeman


Wooooowwwwwwweeee....who is this woman I thought? Well I still don't know but I think she does appear a wee bit bent. She also appears to be one of those special breed of ass kissers that seem to have sprouted up to the east - now I am no expert on Lower Merion, but it seems that there is a bit of Zombie-night-of-the-living-dead-devotion that has popped up in this webcam/spying laptop case - I have had comments I have chosen not to post on my blog about some wacked parents group that refer to themselves as "reasonable" - I am no slave to their fashion and they can git up and write their own damn blog, but anyway.

So online this week on Main Line Media News there is a rather bland, preachy editorial by a woman named Ru Freeman - this woman, apparently. It spawned a boatload of comments, my favorite being this one:

Stepford Wives wrote on Mar 6, 2010 1:16 AM:

" Isnt it nice that Ru Freeman gets to enjoy her First Amendment rights in this op-ed, but she somehow thinks that is wrong for a family that believes it has had its Fourth Amendment rights violated to exercise its Fifth Amendment rights in relation to a violation of the Fourth Amendment? I guess only the First Amendment matters to Ru Freeman. This op-ed just abounds with inconsistencies and irrationalities, inclusive of her last name, which one would assume relates to a free person - such that one may be free of illegal searches and intrusions within ones home by the government. Unless, of course, the government is your perfect school district in your perfect Stepford community. Then freedom does not matter. Only that the school district can do no wrong and constitutional rights get thrown out the window. Stick to novels, Ru. And try not to make those novels based on any pesky liyyle things like rights, freedom or liberty. "


Oh my oh my oh my. Well, well, well. Could it be this budding author just wants some good old fashioned controversy to sell her book called "A Disobedient Girl"? Is she like, umm, being naughty? (Hair twirl optional) Or should her book be called All American Racist? I don't know who this Ru is, but she really lives in a glass blog, doesn't she? In the name of her activism, she is throwing darts at every other blogger out there (including the ubiquitous KKK comment), because they don't agree with her? Yet that seems to be something she is mocking the rest of them for? She seems to have riled up the blogging flora and fauna over on the SAC site to boot.

It seems this Ru is a bit of a preachy bitch? Now I love a good bitch, but I prefer bitches that can admit that in themselves. Her editorial is plebeian at best, and her comments on her blog? She seems like she wants to belong to the Main Line very badly, doesn't quite fit? (Of course she doesn't get that to be an individual is the ultimate chic)

Now, normally, when someone like her was put on my radar I would say "hmmmm, local author, I think I'll check out the book." But since she has decided to blanket coat all bloggers out there with a broad brush and comparing them all to the KKK (does that mean this blog too?), I think I'll pass. Ru Freeman is just another pushy bitch who moved to the Main Line to better her lot in life. We'd all be better if she just owned it and moved on - I wish her luck with her book, but that woman shouldn't slam bloggers who think she is a nasty bit of business while pretending to be a blogger while the only thing it is about is pimping a book she wrote.

You wanna add justsnarky to your list of Ruminations? (Yep, see if you were really creative that is what you should have named your blog) Ok Ru, bring it. Who cares? Women like you are a dime a dozen...sputter now in your moral outrage - you are not so different. And oh yes, you forgot to add your preachy self to the list of "haters" you so rail against. But then again, the mirror might crack if you looked in it straight on...

Check out this blog post of hers:

Haters - slang, defines those who have nothing positive to say about anything or anybody, and feel somebody else owes them everything and, if they don’t give them everything, they deserve to be hated. They are people mad at the world but probably simply mad at themselves, as pointed out here, or people who are envious of the work done by other people or their accomplishments as pointed out by others, or even people who “see your glory but don’t know your story.” ...Which made me think about the assumptions people make about one another. I’ve been accosted by innumerable “haters” during these past two weeks, one of the most bizarre and misinformed groups being the one which labels our ipetition in support of the Lower Merion School District (LMSD), as being the brainchild of those who supported the Unified Slate which was a term used to define our previous school board which chose to vote as a bipartisan unified group in order to secure the best for our schools. It’s called consensus, but apparently consensus does not wash with the haters in our hood....

...Sometimes, people just don’t have an agenda. Sometimes, it really is what it is. Then again, when a person is engaged in nefarious activities, they find it extremely difficult to imagine that other people aren’t also doing the same. Well, here’s a word from the horse’s mouth: we don’t have any secret agenda, plans for political gain, fame or anything else you can think of. We are just people who wanted to express our support for the LMSD .....It always amazes me how vitriolic and stupid people can get when the underlying basis for their very existence - as a group, as an organization, as individuals - is unadulterated malice. Perhaps it is crazy of me to expect otherwise, but I do. I simply cannot imagine that such ignorance and idiocy can take root and flourish inside the minds of human beings. And yet, the evidence is all around - it can and it does. What does not surprise me, however, is that such people never have the guts to come out in the open. They are like the KKK, hiding behind masks, in their case, pseudonyms, taking their pot shots at their neighbors. Here are a few gems I’ve come across: Politeia, teadrinker, Stepford Wives, tea-for-two, Give Me A Break, Wynnewoodie, Haverford, Keep The Change, Ever Heard of the Bill of Rights and, a personal favorite, Get A Clue Ru.

On the one hand I have been accused of being everythiing from an “affluent entitled” Main Line parent, and a “Main Line frau,” to being someone who shares her politics with Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Yes, it is laughable, but it is also sad. If this is the type of thinking that goes on in the heads of the so-called educated minority in America, is it any wonder we are where we find ourselves? If the raison d’être for a group is just to hate somebody else, spout negative hogwash and dismantle the reputations of educators who have given their lives to their careers, is it any wonder that American students lag behind nearly everybody else on the planet? If the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night is to spew your hatred as far as you can make it go, what, exactly, are you teaching your children?

And, by the way, I may not have any glory, but do, please, get my story before you decide to bust out your sabers. Otherwise, it just makes you look even worse than you are.


Oh no, Ru, no one would ever thing you had an agenda...LOL, yours is the simplest of them all: self-promotion. Maybe they should rename the place where you live as Ru Merion? Golly gee girl, quit shoveling the shit. They don't like what you wrote. That doesn't make them part of the KKK, but it sure makes you ignorant for saying that.

So "Properly" Fun, justsnarky Finds This Website Simply Divine!



Ok, so I haven't had so much fun on a website since Susan Scovill launched her website! And here we are again thanks to the tip from some ladies who lunch bunch on a new website that will provide some fun and photos - it's called "Proper Philadelphia". Personally, I think this is a Philadelphia version of David Patrick Columbia's New York Social Diary - the editor is a gent called RC Atlee.

I see on the masthead another alum from the Main Line weekly paper set - Joan Bang? Wasn't she one of the ones who didn't survive when they cleaned house, keeping only that old battle ax? Well I imagine now Carol Springer will go into a total snot snit, won't she? Her exclusivity meter is going to decrease some more, I wager.

Anyway, thanks ladies for tipping me to this site. The design is marvy.

Step Back To The Divine...

But It's The Main Line and We Don't Talk About That, Darling



Oh my, the what-can-we-talk-about-police are out in full force. I have been reading here and there the various and assorted comments on the articles on the Main Line Media News website and the Inquirer. Well screw you all, I think you are all retarded and I am happy to say so. And I think the Main Line is going to hell in a hand basket.

It's official, while last year's award for most fucked up municipality was hand's down Radnor Township, 2010 is undoubtedly going to belong to Lower Merion with a close second being Tredyffrin.

And what does it come down to? The New Main Line. The New Main Line is comprised of those who haven't lived here at least 20 years. No they are NOT those who were born here, moved away, and moved back...it's all this we-are-so-entitled set who must have read about us in a magazine or who saw the Philadelphia Story too many times.

And everything that made these people settle here like ants at a picnic they are systematically destroying.

The Main Line used to be well, civilized. The very rich and the not so rich used to be able to live in harmony. Now it's a little different. Scratch that it's a lot different and will be completely ruined soon.

If you don't like something, well sue. If you don't like someone, get 'em.

And that extends to the society pages. Have you looked at them lately? Who are half of those people? Oh yes, that's right, the next genteel ones who will tear down the next fabulous old home.

And then there are the racists and bigots and the faux political. Lean to the right, lean to the left, hate whomever isn't leaning your way and if they don't agree with you they must be wrong.

Meanwhile spouses and significant others are cheating on each other and plotting their next moves. If you don't like the partner you have, why just run away, have an affair, start drinking, or trap the cheating partner with another bambino to feed. Sigh, long gone are the good old days when they looked the other way and had discreet affairs with the people seated next to them in church...

It's enough to make one scream.

And then we look at their faces: male or female they are all getting improved. Why I can't remember the last time I saw a face that moved naturally and did not have the glow of too many "treatments".

And the women are so bitchy. And most of them, well they are utterly ridiculous. Seriously, shoving those you compete with out of the society photos is so tacky. And if you are going to volunteer, why not actually do some work? Or state up front "I only write checks and that is the extent of my heavy lifting."

And the kids. Nevermind. Why of course little Thurston doesn't deal drugs, whatever gave you that idea? And Suzy, why she is as pure as the driven snow no matter what her myspace page says!

I mean good lord, I don't even think any of the clubs do ladies' teas anymore anywhere --- certainly not Merion Cricket Club which now resembles a Motel 6 meets the Hilton inside. At least the Union League still has beautiful rooms - even if they will take any Tom, Dick, and Tacky as a member. Radnor Hunt still has that cool club feel, but given the fact that the area around it is being developed into oblivion - there are more cookie cutter Mansionettes then horses now...well eventually they will get a hold of that too, or Brian O'Neill will try to buy it and put in some horrible edifice to the fact he has no taste a la Newport, Rhode Island, oui?

And when you go out? Why is it none of these people whether they are in a restaurant, Genuardis, the various farm markets, a concert in the Kimmel, a black tie, or a kids recital in the auditorium at school, why is it they can't put the darn crackberry or I-Me-My-Pod away? I don't want to know what you are doing or doing it to. You're not that important.

And speaking of the in-school set, when did the PTA or equivalent become Parents Turned Assholes? When did they all become Nazi Mommies complete with walkie talkies at school events? Seriously not-so-hot-mama, your noggin is not wound so tight and they are just kids' games....so go get your bitch on with someone else.

It all comes down to competing. And these people spend so much time competing they forget how to live life and actually enjoy things.

I could go on and I could continue mocking, but I am too damn tired. Just look around: the Main Line is one large episode of all the Real Housewives franchises rolled into one. And the politicians? Why my goodness, they are all drama central. And none of them can accomplish a damn thing...
