watch the video for an orgasmic Diane Sawyer giving the dope on the guest list (or is that the guest list of dopes?... whatever....). She is green with envy because the other woman newscaster (who, surprisingly, is black) is actually on the guest list.

but it is going to feature stuff supposedly grown at the white house... I'm sure michie is out there picking as we speak

god I can't wait for them to just go away

went to visit my pals at the zoo yesterday

well.... not these pals really but they were more than happy to say howdy... until the chow bell went off that is

it was a mad rush to get into the tunnels to nom some food

I picked up these walking sticks from the gift shop. I had bought one to take home to Mom for Christmas but when P's parents were here visiting they fell in love with him. I put a tie on Dad's and a hair ribbon on Mom's so they know whose is whose. I don't want to hear about any fights...

so... I'm crusing down the freeway coming home, glance to my left and what do I see? ass. no, seriously... it was ass

you'd think that they could find a better way to transport that mess. I think they leave them hanging out like that to make others jealous. I wonder if a feeling of mild nausea equates to jealousy?

We're leaving for Pittsburg in the morning. I hope I see some cool stuff to get photos of. It seems like the whole trip is built around the places we're going to eat. P's daughters are going with us and one of them is hooked on the show man vs food. There were a couple restaurants in Pittsburgh she saw on the show so I think we're going to hit each one of them

I have much to be thankful for... I think I'll stuff my face several times in the next few days just to show how much.

Happy Thanksgiving all... hope you are spending the day with those you love

who's ugly? you are!! can you believe that someone actually PAID for that?

ooooooo....

next project...

I've made this a couple times now and it gets rave reviews.... someone has asked me for the recipe every time.

seriously... how can you not love the people of walmart?

The wedgie is particularly effective as a bullying type prank as it is both painful and humiliating.

WASHINGTON – When it comes to paying for a health care overhaul, Americans see just one way to go: Tax the rich.

That finding from a new Associated Press poll will be welcome news for House Democrats, who proposed doing just that in their sweeping remake of the U.S. medical system, which passed earlier this month and would extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans.

The poll found participants sour on other ways of paying for the health overhaul that is being considered in Congress, including taxing insurers on high-value coverage packages derided by President Barack Obama and Democrats as "Cadillac plans."

what?? who the hell did they talk to?? do you know anyone who thinks this is fair or a good idea? cripes... is there anything that isn't truth stretched by the MSM?

This week, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, told reporters the GOP offers a "back-of-the-hand treatment to women." Later she said two conservative female representatives only serve to further "repulse women." You see, Schultz said on MSNBC, Republicans "don't really get very many women when it comes to elections."

The week before, in Virginia, the Republican gubernatorial candidate won women. And in blue New Jersey, the Republican lost women but won white women by 18 percentage points.

Last year, John McCain won a majority of the white female vote. They sum to more than 25 million women. Democrats, so many forget, have not won a majority of white women since 1964.

Few subjects evoke more wrongheaded conventional wisdom than the gender gap. Consider a more common expression of the same factoid. In Democratic commenter Steve McMahon's words, "the Republican party is becoming, regressing to become, a white male southern party." NPR's Juan Williams said the GOP was a "regional southern party of white men." Even Republican strategist Mike Murphy called his GOP "the party of white males." Or as BBC's Katty Kay framed the danger, Republicans "don't want to end up being the party of white men."

The white part is correct. It goes without saying that Republicans must, foremost, win new minority voters. And Republicans do fare significantly better with white men than women. But take BBC's Kay. She's a fair-minded pundit and has written a book about women. But even Kay overlooks that the GOP consistently wins white women.

Republicans do, to be certain, have women troubles. Democrats have won a majority of women in every presidential election since 1996. The women most behind Democrats—women of color, college educated women, single and young women—are all a growing share of the electorate.

But Republicans' ranks are hardly without women. Republicans have won roughly a third of Hispanic women in the last three presidential races -- worth noting, though nothing to brag about. GOP women are indeed, even more than men, overwhelmingly white.

Republican women are also more likely to be married, more likely to not work outside the home and more likely to not live in an urban area. It is a bloc of voters that is literally furthest from the political class -- meaning not highly represented in the DC-NYC corridor (unless Staten Island is included).

But Democrats cannot afford to ignore these women. More white women currently disapprove of Obama's job performance than approve, 48 to 45 percent respectively, according to Gallup polling. Last year, Obama made gains with white men compared to Al Gore. But Obama fared worse than Gore with white women. As for the much-discussed white suburban women's vote, they went to McCain.

interesting, but I absolutely do not agree with ..... "Republican women are also more likely to be married, more likely to not work outside the home and more likely to not live in an urban area. It is a bloc of voters that is literally furthest from the political class -- meaning not highly represented in the DC-NYC corridor (unless Staten Island is included)."

Most of my friends - men & women - are Republicans simply because I prefer their company. Funny when they say that GOP women are more likely to not work outside the home... ALL of my friends have jobs (except me!) and they are good jobs too. California friends (couples) are in the 150-200k range in income and Wisconsin friends a little less. I think someone needs to do a fact check...

kiss my daughter, my boyfriend, my mom, my sibs ( and their hubbies/wife), nieces & nephews one last time - pull em all together (with all our pets!) in a group hug and tell them... I love you and see you on the other side!

   

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Seriously, politics aside, have you ever seen a president that seems more out of touch with what the people of this country want?

President Obama says that they will have a Holiday Tree this year instead of a Christmas Tree. Do you agree with this?
