&lt;p&gt;In case you were wondering, I’ve translated the smirks on the faces of the reporters. The translation reads: &lt;i&gt;We didn’t try to interview a single white person for this story!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/101942362</link><guid>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/101942362</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:12:00 -0400</pubDate><category>racist</category><category>chicken</category><category>popeye's</category></item><item><title>Happy 83rd, Cloris!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/jtvF7rPEfmx1urpxN2NCi3gBo1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Happy 83rd, Cloris!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/101856609</link><guid>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/101856609</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:41:50 -0400</pubDate><category>Cloris Leachman</category><category>birthdays</category></item><item><title>As many of you already know, Bea Arthur passed away yesterday at...</title><description>&lt;object width="400" height="336"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wxJsl4e0Xmg&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wxJsl4e0Xmg&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;As many of you already know, Bea Arthur passed away yesterday at the age of 86. When Arthur’s &lt;i&gt;Golden Girls&lt;/i&gt; co-star Estelle Getty died last year, fans of the show were devastated, but I think Getty’s long battle with dementia made the news easier to digest. I’m very broken up about losing Bea. It feels like my για για has died all over again. At least the occasional &lt;i&gt;GG&lt;/i&gt; marathon will keep her memory alive.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/100380992</link><guid>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/100380992</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:16:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Bea Arthur</category><category>Estelle Getty</category><category>Golden Girls</category><category>Obituary</category></item><item><title>My Tumblr is not a Livejournal, and yet...</title><description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Andrea Wachner is my hero. Really. She went to an uber-rich public high school (like me!) where the parking lot was lined with luxury cars and the kids were awful. Her high school experience seems to have been exactly identical to mine. So when she got an invitation to her 10-year reunion, she wasn’t about to attend. Instead of going, however, she sent a stripper in her place. This has prompted a new tag: &lt;b&gt;best idea ever&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/04/22/dont-want-to-go-to-your-high-school-reunion-send-a-stripper-instead/" target="_blank"&gt;Neatorama&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’ve been thinking about two things a lot lately: strippers and high school reunions. Did you know strippers in Vegas take in about $300k a year? Did you see the highlights from the &lt;a href="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh0t9ZB042QATPe8Dw" target="_blank"&gt;2009 pole-dancing competion&lt;/a&gt;? I did. I also ran across this &lt;a href="http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/offbeat/dpgo_042209_woman_sends_stripper_to_class_reunion2430688" target="_blank"&gt;amazing story&lt;/a&gt; about a aspiring comedienne who sent a stripper to her high school reunion to pose as her. What a beautiful thing. Truly.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/99305587</link><guid>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/99305587</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:11:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"[Michelle Rodriguez] broke up the bachelorette party yelling that the stripper was ‘fat and..."</title><description>“[Michelle Rodriguez] broke up the bachelorette party yelling that the stripper was ‘fat...</description><link>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/98521971</link><guid>http://sideshowbarb.tumblr.com/post/98521971</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:22:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Cooter</category><category>breasts</category><category>michelle rodriguez</category><category>lesbians</category></item><item><title>My brother, 27, moved out years ago.
