I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

or "wink, wink, wink" - I was with a friend watching the VP debates in the last election - and we both turned to each other and SCREAMED - "she didn't really just WINK at the camera, did she???"

oh, ya mean she thought she was in a helicopter, aiming at those gorgeous furry creatures running below her????

Naw - it was a WINK!

On to more important subjects...who is gonna be Best Actress????  Meryl Streep???? Amazing how many times she's been nominated.  Just think of the same woman being Maggie Thatcher & the Devil Knows Prada (Wintour), not to mention the other gems - Mama Mia...I hope she wins!

I have highbrow taste in movies.  If Puss in Boots does not get Best Picture it will be a travesty

I thought Newt was the one who was into three-ways???  Never mind.

Nope ... Newt/Marianne/Calista was more what he had in mind.  Things just didn't work out and he ended up with those two bozos instead.  

You guys are making me laugh already this morning!

I'm not going to say anything about Santorum being in the Bible belt cause I don't want to get deleted again.  But does anyone see a correlation there?

hugs to all,

Bren

Mary,

My mom is a Republican and she told me she was going to vote for Romney, "even though he's a Mormon."  I thought that was pretty interesting.

I hope you get some more responses from your question on Facebook .. I like hearing who the Republicans might vote for.

hugs,

Bren

I think Romney's the choice for more moderate Republicans.  And if you look at his gubernatorial record, he IS moderate (current speeches and campaigning notwithstanding).  Plus, a family member knows him and says he's a good guy - smart and caring.  

There's an obesity epidemic in our country, hence the expansion of a certain belt. Better quality food and exercise are needed.

Speaking of Alaska, my sister will be working out there this summer and I may go to visit.  Want me to pass along messages to any of the residents?

(Sorry...here's the Alaska thought process...Oz - ruby slipper - wicked witches - Alaska).

Nope-no more responses.....I've gotten a middle of the night drunken rant from a very liberal friend of mine, calling all republicans losers. Not quite what I was looking for, and it may have scared any more of my friends from responding. 

We probably should stop this now-this is when the deletions start.

So how's the weather? It's snowing here in Seattle!

She's a narcissist and will wait until after the nomination to rally the ultra-right wing to Romney's side by painting the black man as a terrorist who is un-American. Unlike many, I think she is intelligent and knows her strengths. She is not cultivated, intellectual or well read - but she is intelligent and very cunning. And has a heart of cold stone. What most struck me about the VP debates was when Biden was moved to tears in recounting his life with two sons, raising them by himself, and Palin's face was stone cold and callous. it sent shivers down my spine.

Soot - Romney is moderate and pragmatic in some ways, but he has a definite mean streak. The buck stops there with me. Thinking of the flip side: I, personally, would vote for a conservative republican with a heart any day over someone with my exact views but a mean streak. I always look for something above and beyond specific policy prescriptions in a president (one reason why I never could stand narcissist Clinton and his chip-on-her-shoulder wife who, as Maureen Dowd so aptly said, would never be where she got to without nepotism. And who, despite all the misguided hoopla, never struck me as particularly intelligent or accomplished, despite her bravado.).

But I'm not worried. Obama is going to win. Everything else as a waste of airwaves to me. :-)

Hi from Niagara!  The meteorologists have had a variety of hothouse tomatoes thrown at them, after predicting "the season's WORST snowstorm" for Toronto and points south.  So.....we had temps above freezing and all we got was rain!  The snowplows were all gassed up with no place to go.  Today it's partly sunny, but very windy and cold.  North of the border, we add the "windchill" factor to the temp and thus it feels llike a few degrees below 0 celcius (or possibly 28F).

Athena -- I'd add education to the better food and exercise requirement.  I watched a programme the other night that featured questions asked of several U.S. high school students.  When asked which 2 countries bordered the U.S., most of them either said "I don't know" or else suggested South America........A couple got the right answer, and a few more mentioned EITHER Mexico or Canada.  One student answered correctly.  Maybe she got an atlas for Christmas and actually scanned it.

Scoot -- I do not believe in Satan 

Edited to fix a grammatical error -- my bad! 

Scoot -- Not to belabour the point about poor Seamus but....don't most people attach their luggage to the roof of the car and let the breathing beings ride inside?

Lack of empathy or maybe a lack of experience with the less fortunate.  He's never known true need so how can he understand it?
