Group-think: Tendency of the members of a group to yield to the desire for consensus or unanimity at the cost of considering alternative courses of action. Group-think is said to be the reason why intelligent and knowledgeable people make disastrous decisions.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember a few years ago before you joined Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform? You used to be an individual.  You had individual opinions, likes, and dislikes.  Maybe you were even an outsider.  Then you joined social media.  You discovered a whole world of people who shared your same opinions on movies, food, transportation, pets, dating, the list goes on.  Your social circle kept expanding with more people who shared your common view of the world and it seemed to keep on expanding.  Now your are part of a &#8220;clique&#8221;.  A group of individuals with shared ideas, beliefs and a common goal.  One goal is to protect the group and their common goals and beliefs. It isn&#8217;t good for the group to have outside opinions that disagree with the group.  This isn&#8217;t a negative thing because the group is good.  Right?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Someone complains about my opinion, speaking on the behalf of the group.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I became active on Twitter during the fall of 2008.  I had a group of friends over and we were watching the Presidential debates.  I was doing my regular thing and actively yelling my opinions at the television.  One of my friends said to me, &#8220;Judy, you have to join Twitter, you would be so popular on there if you would write down your opinions and send them out as Tweets.&#8221;  I replied, &#8220;That is exactly why I am not on Twitter, my opinions out in a public forum are only going to get me in trouble.&#8221;  She said, &#8220;Trust me.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since that night I have participated on Twitter and have expressed my opinion whenever I want.  Expressing my opinions has made me popular on Twitter. Expressing my opinions has also made people angry at me on Twitter. Usually it is just one person who won&#8217;t like a particular Tweet I send out.  Lately I have noticed a disturbing trend in the Twin Cities social media scene.  If I express an opinion that one person who is part of a particular &#8220;clique&#8221; or &#8220;group&#8221; on Twitter is offended at, I find that an entire group is offended.  Some individual people do not like my opinions.  That is fine.  What I don&#8217;t like is when is when a group or an implied group doesn&#8217;t like my opinions. I don&#8217;t like this because I believe it is group-think behavior on social media  and I believe that group-think behavior is dangerous.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5075" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-twin-cities-social-media-scene-is-suffering-from-group-think/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8-16-54-pm-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5075" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 8.16.54 PM" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.16.54-PM1.png" alt="" width="388" height="184" /></a><em>Group-think doesn&#8217;t like opinions that are outside of or against the group.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a rel="attachment wp-att-5077" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-twin-cities-social-media-scene-is-suffering-from-group-think/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8-18-17-pm-bw/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5077" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 8.18.17 PM b&amp;w" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-8.18.17-PM-bw.jpg" alt="" width="388" height="130" /></a>Exactly.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em> </em>Why do I think group-think is dangerous?  Because once people start thinking as a group they stop thinking for themselves.  Group-think is when individual creativity, uniqueness, differences, and independent thinking is secondary to the group’s cohesiveness and mission.  The stronger and tighter the group, the easier it is for group-think to rear its ugly head.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adults worry themselves sick about how their children will fare in school with all the social cliques to contend with.  Yet these same adults never stop to think about their own behavior online.  I am an iconoclast.  Always have been and always will be.  I am happy to give a dissenting opinion to the popular one and deal with the criticism that follows.  The thing is, not everyone is me.  I often get messages from people telling me how unhappy they are to be outside of the &#8220;we&#8221; of the popular social media group-think crowd.</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s like the Twin Cities social media scene is high school. I feel often like I&#8217;m the kid smoking in the bathroom.&#8221; </strong>- a direct message sent to me on Twitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5033" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-twin-cities-social-media-scene-is-suffering-from-group-think/iconoclast/"><img class="size-full wp-image-5033  aligncenter" title="iconoclast" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/iconoclast.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="267" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Iconoclast:</strong> One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The internet is now one big high school cafeteria.  Jocks over here, nerds over there, brainiacs back there.  The danger isn&#8217;t only to the people outside of the group.  It also isn&#8217;t any good for the insiders.  Over time people won&#8217;t express opinions that differ from the group knowing that there will be retaliation.  Even though no one person in the group is bad or intended for this to happen, group-think mentality is negative itself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course I have an opinion on what to do about this.  It has to do with expressing individual opinions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5078" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-twin-cities-social-media-scene-is-suffering-from-group-think/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-10-19-45-pm-bw/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5078" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 10.19.45 PM b&amp;w" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-10.19.45-PM-bw.png" alt="" width="384" height="179" /></a><em>For me ideas, creativity, and innovation are the name of the game. Not group-think.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People should be free to express individual opinions on social media platforms without fear of group retaliation.  People who have opinions different than yours do not hate you or your friends.  People who have opinions different than yours are not crazy.  It is healthy in any society to have a variety of opinions, no matter how much you and your friends don&#8217;t like it.  Sometimes even your friends may not agree with your opinions or the opinions of your group.  No one deserves to be ostracized for having an opinion outside of the social norm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5079" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-twin-cities-social-media-scene-is-suffering-from-group-think/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-10-21-42-pm-bw/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5079" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 10.21.42 PM b&amp;w" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-10.21.42-PM-bw.png" alt="" width="384" height="140" /></a><em>I think it&#8217;s healthier to me a &#8220;me&#8221; and not a &#8220;we&#8221;.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I suggest all of you go out and express yourselves.  Say something that you have been afraid to say because you think your social media group will disagree with you.  Randomly put an opinion out in the social media stratosphere and just see what happens.  Maybe someone will disagree with you.  Maybe that will be a good thing.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>1.  <a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2009/11/10/science-women-want-to-be-shaped-like-tubes/" target="_blank">SCIENCE: Women Want To Be Shaped Like Tubes</a></strong> (Original Post Date: November 10, 2009. Site views: 25,000)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4942" title="ideal-women-sizes1" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ideal-women-sizes1.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="290" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Who knew a post about how women want to look and the little science study done at an Irish University that said &#8220;women want to look like tubes&#8221; would be so controversial? Not me.  Ever since I posted this it has been getting non-stop hits and comments.  There is a wide range of opinion on the comments as well.  Some women want to look like the size 16, some want to look like the 8.  Some men like the 8, some the 16.  Either way, I think it&#8217;s the combination of a strong graphic with a topic that both men and women care about, how women look, that makes this such a popular post.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4943" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-top-five-posts-on-just-judyjudyjudy-the-1st-year/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-4-47-19-pm/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4943" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 4.47.19 PM" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-4.47.19-PM.png" alt="" width="551" height="100" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4944" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-top-five-posts-on-just-judyjudyjudy-the-1st-year/screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-4-47-39-pm/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4944" title="Screen shot 2010-09-01 at 4.47.39 PM" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Screen-shot-2010-09-01-at-4.47.39-PM.png" alt="" width="542" height="110" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. <a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2009/10/03/david-beckham-art-and-condoms-together-at-last/" target="_blank">David Beckham, Art and Condoms: Together at Last</a></strong> (Original post date: October 3, 2009. Site views: 13,000)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4949" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-top-five-posts-on-just-judyjudyjudy-the-1st-year/david-beckham-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4949" title="David-Beckham" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/David-Beckham.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="228" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chalk the popularity of this post up to one thing.  The popularity of David Beckham.  This is not however why I wrote it.  I was interested that a museum is selling condoms in a museum shop.  The condoms are designed by artists.  Oh, and the museum just happened to pick an artist who took a picture of David Beckham as one of the pieces to feature on the condoms.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.  <a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2009/12/29/top-5-worst-fashion-trends-of-2009/" target="_blank">Top 5 Worst Fashion Trends Of 2009</a></strong> (Original post date: December 29, 2009. Site views: 9,000)</p>
<h1><a rel="attachment wp-att-4952" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-top-five-posts-on-just-judyjudyjudy-the-1st-year/lady_gaga_no_pants_slideshow_c-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4952" title="lady_gaga_no_pants_slideshow_c" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/lady_gaga_no_pants_slideshow_c.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="330" /></a></h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also did a post on the &#8220;<a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2009/12/21/top-five-fashion-trends-of-2009/" target="_blank">Top Five Fashion Trends of 2009</a>&#8221; but the worst trends turned out to be WAY more popular.  Once again, I think this is because it was controversial. I blamed Lady GaGa for starting the no-pants trend (this trend only continues to get worse and worse &#8211; young women, put your pants back on!)  Complained about men wearing skinny jeans, said I didn&#8217;t like shoulder pads or Ed Hardy.  People who love all these looks let me hear about it in the comments section.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">People who read about fashion like this post.  It linked to on a few different fashion sites which helped it get seen more.  I didn&#8217;t write it to be a hard-core fashion post.  I just like fashion and thought it was interesting that clothes I used to wear in college are being seen on the runway again.  It&#8217;s like a re-birth of grunge but with a preppy twist.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I have written a lot of posts about Sarah Palin.  <a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/?s=Sarah+Palin" target="_blank">I have written 5 that mention her name in the post title and 10 that mention her in the post.</a> This particular post, about why Sarah Palin talks like she is from Minnesota is by far the most popular.  Why?  I think because it is non-partisan and factual.  No matter what side of the political isle you are on it is interesting, true information about Sarah Palin and the part of the world she comes from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4906" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/09/01/the-1st-anniversary-of-just-judyjudyjudy/first_anniversary/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4906" title="First_Anniversary" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/First_Anniversary.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="223" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I started JustJudyJudyJudy.com one year ago this September.  My goal when I started was to become a better writer.  My friend, well known author <a title="Neal Karlen" href="http://www.nealkarlen.com/" target="_blank">Neal Karlen,</a> told me that if I wanted to become a writer I should write every day.  He had suggested I carry around a notepad with me, but I decided to do a blog instead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why a blog?  There were a few reasons.  I am someone who performs better if I have accountability.   I knew if I started something and announced  it publicly I would have the pressure to keep it up and do a decent job.  I wanted to bring my opinion and my voice to the blogging community.  I know that I have a unique perspective, so my addition would be something different to the blogosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now 270 posts later the blog has turned out to be something bigger and better than I ever imagined it would be.  I have to say thanks to the people who supported me in starting this and have helped me along the way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Jason Matheson</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not only did <a title="Jason Matheson" href="https://twitter.com/jasonmatheson" target="_blank">Jason Matheson</a> come up with the name &#8220;Judy Judy Judy&#8221;, he was the first person I told about the blog.  Jason responded with a huge, &#8220;Yes!&#8221;  He has supported my blog every step of the way by having me appear on his radio show on MyTalk107.1 and on <a title="Weekend Buzz" href="http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/subindex/entertainment/weekend_buzz" target="_blank">The Weekend Buzz with Jason Matheson on Fox9</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Chris Gauron</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When I mentioned on Twitter that I was starting a blog I instantly go a DM from <a title="Rank Crankers" href="http://www.rankcrankers.com/about_us.html" target="_blank">Chris Gauron</a> asking me if I would like any help.  I instantly replied that not only did I want help, but I needed it!  Then and there a friendship and working relationship was born.  Chris is a master of SEO and not only helped me with WordPress issues but has helped my blog with countless other issues.  <a title="Rank Crankers" href="http://www.rankcrankers.com/" target="_blank">He owns a business called Rank Crankers.  If you need help with SEO, call this guy.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Neal Karlen</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before starting a blog I needed the confidence to start writing.  Being an accomplished author himself, having <a title="Neal Karlen" href="http://www.nealkarlen.com/" target="_blank">Neal Karlen </a>tell me that he thought I could do it was what I needed to hear.  He has sent me nice messages throughout the year letting me know that he reads the blog and likes it, and that he also thinks I am good on TV.  We get together from time to time as his busy travel schedule will allow and Neal&#8217;s advice on how to write and being true to my own voice as a writer is priceless.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many other people who have been supportive, helpful, and participated in the blog with me over the past year.  I want to say thank you to everyone who has helped and who reads the blog.  I appreciate all of you.  I will be making some changes to the blog this month.  Look for a new design and a big announcement coming from me soon!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a title="MN Blogger Conference" href="http://mnbloggerconference.com/" target="_blank">Minnesota Blogger Conference</a> is going to be on Saturday, September 11th in St. Paul.  Tickets became available a few weeks ago and the event was sold out within a few hours.  There is currently a waiting list over 100 people long for the event.  One of the organizer&#8217;s of the Minnesota Blogger Conference, <a title="Arik Hanson" href="http://twitter.com/arikhanson" target="_blank">Arik Hanson</a>, contacted me and asked if I would like put together an event the night before the conference.  He thought this would be a way to include people who didn&#8217;t get a ticket to the event on Saturday but still would like to come out and network.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So now we present to you, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Drink &amp; Blog: An Evening With Minnesota Bloggers&#8221;.  This is a free event on September 10 (the night before the MN Blogger Conference), from 7:00-10:00 PM at <a title="Clubhouse Jager" href="http://www.clubhousejaeger.com/" target="_blank">Clubhouse Jager in Minneapolis</a>.  Show up and you will have a chance to mingle with the people who make up the blogging and social media scene in Minnesota.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have to give a shout out to our good friends at Club Jag who are making us social-media-friendly specialty drinks just for this event.  Show up and find out what a &#8220;Twittertini&#8221; tastes like.  Experience old school meets new school with a &#8220;Blog-hattan&#8221;.  Or just go plain old crazy and buy a round of &#8220;Facebombs&#8221; for you and your friends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Club Jager is the place to be the night before the Minnesota Blogger Conference.  Don&#8217;t worry, we have room for everybody.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4793" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/08/20/trend-report-the-aviator-jacket-takes-flight-fall-2010/aviator/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4793" title="aviator" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aviator.jpg" alt="" width="599" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You want a brown or black leather aviator jacket next winter. So start looking now. It should be short and cropped, a little military inspired with a lining of shearling. Or at least a suggestion of it.  It should have shape and structure to counteract the heaviness of the jacket.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why? Because the military trend won’t go away. Because it’s smaller than a big jacket so perfect for fall before winter get really cold in Minnesota. Because it’s a mix of tough and feminine. Because it’s cool.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wear it with shorts over tights like Melanie Huyn from French Vogue, with a pencil skirt or over a dress. Layer over a tee or a knit and tailored pants. Toss back with jeans. Just make sure you add something feminine to sex it up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4794" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/08/20/trend-report-the-aviator-jacket-takes-flight-fall-2010/aviator-jacket-burberry/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4794" title="aviator-jacket-burberry" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aviator-jacket-burberry.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="337" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The &#8220;it&#8221; coat of the season has to be the shearling-lined, chocolate leather Burberry aviator jacket. Net-a-porter.com has sold out already – despite both a $2,000 price tag and the fact that a shearling-lined leather jacket is going to be unwearably warm in August. Don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t have a couple grand to spare, there are plenty of lower priced stores with the aviator style jacket in stock with prices that normal people can afford.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4795" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/08/20/trend-report-the-aviator-jacket-takes-flight-fall-2010/amelia-earhart-aviator-we-008/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4795" title="Amelia-Earhart-aviator-we-008" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Amelia-Earhart-aviator-we-008.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="330" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a title="The Guardian" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/aug/17/aviator-jacket-autumn-trend" target="_blank">Guardian</a> has a story on the aviator jacket trend online this week, and they give a few reasons to buy an aviator jacket this season &amp; to buy it early:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;The earlier you jump on this trend the better because the aviator jacket looks like it will stick around. For the Burberry &#8220;resort&#8221; collection, which bridges the gap between the collection already in stores and the one which will be debuted at London fashion week in September, Christopher Bailey told American Vogue that he &#8220;really wanted to continue the feel of the aviator collection&#8221;, looking at 30s and 40s colonial uniforms.</p>
<p>Oh, and there&#8217;s one more reason the smart money has been snapping up the aviators so early. This is a piece that gets better with age, so the earlier you get hold of it, the better it will look over your cocktail dress come December. But I have a style tip to help you out here, from none other than Ms Earhart herself. As a novice flier, she slept in her jacket for the first three nights to give it the right worn-in look. If that&#8217;s not what the guys on the Match of the Day sofa call giving 110%, I don&#8217;t know what is.&#8217;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Minnesota GOP has sunk to new lows and given the entire state of Minnesota a black eye with a horrible, embarrassing, and over the top sexist video.  <a title="Mother Jones" href="http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/08/state-gop-our-chicks-are-hot-dems-are-fugly-video-sexist" target="_blank">Mother Jones</a> carried a story about the video yesterday and and since the the news has gone viral with <a title="EW" href="http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/08/18/republican-minnesota-hot-or-not-video/" target="_blank">headlines in national publications</a> that read, &#8220;Misogyny is alive and well in Minnesota&#8221;.  Yes, it&#8217;s true, I can&#8217;t argue with that.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The crafty video, first goes through pictures of super sexy Republican babes — like Sarah Palin, all the Fox News hotties, and so on — set to Tom Jones&#8217; &#8220;She&#8217;s a Lady.&#8221; Ooh, they&#8217;re so hot. Then come the Democrats! This one took a lot of brain power, and Photoshop skills, to get the point across. With the Baha Men&#8217;s classic &#8220;Who Let the Dogs Out?&#8221; playing in the background, you&#8217;ll see Rosie O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s head pasted onto Khalid Sheikh Mohammed&#8217;s recently waterboarded body, Janeane Garofalo several times, as well as former US Attorney General Janet Reno and very old, former White House reporter Helen Thomas. They even remembered Cindy Sheehan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="482" height="387" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XlR_h1V4loM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="482" height="387" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XlR_h1V4loM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem here is that this video is equally sexist to the Republican women as it is to the Democratic women.  Using the Tom Jones song &#8220;She&#8217;s a Lady&#8221; is like when men use the word &#8220;ladies&#8221; in conversation. It&#8217;s standard d-bag vocabulary, and it sounds kind of creepy.  As in, &#8220;Thanks for coming out tonight &#8230; ladies.&#8221;  And, &#8220;Would any of you ladies like a drink?&#8221;  All the Republican women are Barbie Doll cute and feature a certain body part (READ: tits).  We certainly don&#8217;t like these women for their ideas, we like them because they are like pretty things we can put on a shelf and look at.  Given a choice I would much rather be on of the crazy dog democrat women and at least get to be smart instead of oggled at.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="482" height="292" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BMfHnNu1oq4&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="482" height="292" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BMfHnNu1oq4&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now let&#8217;s talk about how the Democratic women are portrayed.  I don&#8217;t think I need to explain why the use of the song &#8220;Who Let The Dogs Out&#8221; or the poor use of PhotoShop is out of line.  Instead I want to bring to light one of my pet peeves that people on both sides of the political isle. use.  The &#8220;crazy eyed&#8221; woman picture.  This type of picture is used to perpetuate the myth that women are unstable, out of control, and just plain crazy and therefore unable to hold office.  I have seen picture after picture of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann with crazy eyes.  Everyone, republicans and democrats, stop using crazy eye pictures of women in politics you misogynist a-holes.</p>

<p>The specific GOP culprits responsible for the video are the people in Minnesota&#8217;s Republican Senate District 56.  The funnyman webmaster for the <a title="GOP SD 56 MN" href="http://www.mnsd56.com/2010/08/news-and-updates.html" target="_blank">GOP State Senate District 56</a>, Randy Brown spoke with the <a title="MNindy" href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/63666/minn-gop-on-dem-women-who-let-the-dogs-out" target="_blank">Minnesota Independent</a> about his creation:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;[I]ts only intention was to bring a smile to a few peoples faces, and possibly irritate a few others. Is it fair? Does that matter? It wasn&#8217;t intended to be fair. It was intended to be funny.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Minnesota Democrats had something to say about the video too.  Via a press release, State Chair of the <a title="DFL" href="http://dfl.org/" target="_blank">Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL)</a> Brian Melendez had this to say about the video:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“This video is sexist and offensive. Just what kind of ridiculous point were the Republicans trying to make with this video? I call on SD56 Chair Joe Salmon and State GOP Chair Tony Sutton to apologize for this sexist video. The day when a woman was judged by her looks rather than her competence and intelligence should have passed three generations ago. But apparently Republican leaders in the year 2010 still think of that bygone era as the good old days, and want to bring it back.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“It probably wasn’t lost on the Republicans who posted this video that Senate District 56 is represented in the Legislature and in Congress entirely by women.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you want the Minnesota GOP to know what you think of their video? Email GOP State Senate District 56 chair Joe Salmon at <strong>jhsalmon1@gmail.com</strong> and let him know.</p>

<p>Kanye West has been on Twitter for just over a month now, and it turns  out that he is into more than just himself.  He loves Justin Bieber! He  loves Pants! He loves fonts! He loves life! Just check it out for  yourself.</p>
<p>I will admit that this blog post is a rip off of a post from the <a title="MTV Buzzworthy" href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2010/08/17/kanye-west-twitter-2" target="_blank">MTV Buzzworthy blog</a>, but it was so funny I felt compelled to re-create it here with the actual tweets from Kanye included.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to have a real life Favregasm, it is possible, and you can have one tonight! The cocktail I mean.  I did a blog post last year about <a title="Just JudyJudyJudy" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/01/24/vikings-game-day-cocktails-this-is-how-we-do-it-baby/" target="_blank">Minnesota Viking&#8217;s Cocktails</a>, but in honor of Brett Favre returning to Minnesota today I will once again repeat the Favregasm recipe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4703" href="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/2010/08/17/favregasm-brett-favre-returns-to-the-minnesota-vikings-twitter-gose-nuts/favregasm/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4703" title="favregasm" src="http://justjudyjudyjudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/favregasm.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="346" /></a></p>
<p><strong>FAVREGASM</strong></p>
<p>1 Part Phillips UV Grape Vodka</p>
<p>1 Part Lemon Lime Soda</p>
<p>Add A Splash of Sweet &amp; Sour Mix</p>
<p>Pour into a short  glass over ice.  Clink glasses together with your friends and scream  “FAVREGASM” before drinking.  Can also be turned into a shot by not  adding ice to the glass.  IMPORTANT: Can only be consumed post Vikings  touchdown.</p>
<p>*** SPECIAL EXEMPTION:  FAVREGASMS CAN ALSO BE CONSUMED IN MINNESOTA ON A DAY WHEN BRETT FAVRE DECIDES TO PLAY ANOTHER SEASON WITH THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS. ***</p>
