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

Anne - yeah - it's frustrating.  This isn't the first incident I've ever experienced, but when I lived in the city they actually broke into my house.  That's more traumatic.  This is just more of an exhausting (especially for my hubby since he has to deal with the whole mess) frustration.  I sometimes can understand that people want to live in gated communities, but that has just never been my style.  The area we live is fairly eclectic, as there are multi-million dollar homes mixed in with duplexes.  There's one house about a half mile away that always has broken down cars in the yard.  I've known other people who have had their cars stolen and/or broken into, and one man who had the engine stolen out of his car....  I always kinda thought it was the people with all the broken down cars in their yard, but you'd think they'd be fairly high on the police radar if that's the case. 

Anyway, people who steal from others are pretty much lowlife as far as I'm concerned. 

Alexandria - LOVE your bumper sticker - I may just make one!!!

For those who want to read, hear the truth...this is really a stitch!  Willard crying "foul" for someone saying what he said, before he changed his mind.  Did I say mind?  Well, before he changed, whatever....

Enjoy.

If there was ever anyone of whom one could say he was for it before he was against it .... that would be Willard.

Not: as much as I respect the fact that you want to be fair, there is a difference between what we've said about Ann Romney and what people say about Michelle.  I'm not criticizing AR for being rich, for dressing in designer clothes, for having a half-million dollar horse - although, damn i'd like the horse.  I criticize her because she has said things that seem to show a complete lack of empathy or understanding for those whose circumstances are so much worse than hers.  It's her words and her tone that I criticize.  She is a spouse, but she is also a campaign spokesman for her husband, and as such, the fact that she states things like - two years of tax returns is all you people are going to get - leaves her open to criticism. The comparison is that no one - here at least - is slandering Ann Romney, i.e. saying things that are untrue.  

You're probably right, it's time to leave the topic.

Still, before we go, I'd like to offer one article in support of my argument:

Sunny - Notself - and other fashion followers:

Did you see Raf Simmons's new Dior Collection? What do you think?

(Mini break for politics here...)

Lindasa -"Page Not Found" - what was it about?

Athena-the page isn't found, but the web address still says "Conservatives call Obama's deceased mother a fat slut". Nice. 

Mary 

Athena -- Not sure why, but if you go to AddictingInfo, you'll find the article.  There's also a link to the U of Hawaii, and info about the Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro Endowment Fund.

I just cannot believe how incredibly hateful and mendacious some people can be.......

As for Dior -- I hate peplums and balloon skirts 

Racist pigs. They can't STAND that a black man is president, can they....

Well....I must admit I heard something on that order a couple of days ago and chose to feel that whomever said it would come to realize what a reflection on themselves to have to reach that far down in the bag to find something.  That truly does reach epic levels of disgustingly bad taste.  The fear level must be so very, very high that you have to drag in a mother.  What insanity. 

I think my favorite channel is going to be dynamite tonight.....I was able to catch a couple of glimpses at work and I think I may be up later than I should as I do work for at least a half a day tomorrow.

Sorry Blue....hope you have a beautiful day and make make beautiful forever memories with the people you love most.

Jackie

Wedding bells will be ringing ..... Hope it's a glorious day, blue!! A toast to the happy families!!

Oh what a beautiful ( for a wedding ) morning.  Sun is out here and due to be warm, actually just right at about 73 degrees.  Of course, that is here in Illinois --- but hoping it is close to the same for Blue.

As to recent conversation, the first thing I saw in my in-box was my copy of Raw Story and there was Mrs. Romney.  She, it seems, is concerned for Mitty's mental state should he become President.  Well, that took a couple of seconds of non-consideration on my part.  I did note though that I'm hearing the same lie from her about no jobs.  Yes, I know you could expect that....it is just so stale.  I also noted the Utopian like manner of her having confidence that he could fix it all....and from the tone, not taking that long.  So un-believable to HEAR this when you see so many other Republicans owning up to the disaster of their candidate and campaign and most pundits saying.....the only way left for Romney to win this game now is to STEAL it -- although an upset of some sort could change that, but at this point that would have to be a very LARGE one. 

Anyway, time to finish my news pile this morning. Will be going back after today to my regular work schedule again I believe....unless something comes up there.

Jackie

Blue, my best wishes for a wonderful celebratory day.
