This is in reference to the ongoing bashing of women by women.
I use humor so I don't weep and/or cut someone.
UPDATE: Now this is just plain fun - the innumerable possibilities to joke about this are quite addictive - much like shoe shopping, cosmo drinking and talking to our friends (one gay, preferably!) about our bitch of a boss and that dreamy Mr. Right (smiley face) who we think is Mr. Wrong (frowny face).
Oh, wait I mean the innumerable possibilities we can HURT AMERICA WITH OUR WORDS are getting to be delightfully time consuming a.k.a. AMERICA HURTY.

Oh my god, I love this.

I like the poodle. Very representative.
I feel that my books are, in fact, large mutts of indeterminate breed, but what does it matter when they're treated like manicured French poodles anyway?
I, Megan Crane, hurt America with my words.
Holla.
That shit needs to be on a shirt...seriously.
I, _________, hurt America with my words.
Holla.
Okay, I went and read the piece but you know what? It doesn't hold up! No one--not even some disgruntled anonymous former women's fiction editor--gets to become the tastemaker, and critic, for the public. For women. For me. The other thing is, I never said I wanted to be a literary writer. I just want to tell stories. I like telling stories. I like making people feel good. And if my prose is simple, so what? It feels delicious to be myself. In fact, I think I need to blog about this very thing very soon...
I don't think that wanting to tell stories and literature are mutually exclusive.
But what do I know?
Hey Liza, any chance I can borrow that fancy, schmancy logo? I won't hotlink (but I will trackback/ping to you!!)

yeah...I think it's cool - the site said you could re-use it.
It's purty, huh?
