anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 22 Feb 12

We currently have a Democratic U.S. Senator who spent many years as a comedian and comic writer; he once made a rather tasteless and uncharacteristically unfunny joke about former President Bush which has been referenced here many...

gladys46 Hi Annie ... I agree wholeheartedly that Luntz' suggestion is outrageous. I also question any audience who receives this applauding! These are those who reduce/marginalize the very office of America's president. When a shoe was thrown at GW Bush by a...

gladys46 Hi Annie! I think Ms. Scoppe's reaction is just symptomatic of demographic, bigoted mindsets even in media. I can think of at least one other painful example that she might have used ... very simply, we made a mistake!

My co-worker thinks we stole her stuff from her office

This happened just recently. I work as a teacher in a certain school. The schedules involved students and teachers transferring to rooms for different subjects. So there, there were a couple of us teachers who borrowed this one...

gladys46 Hi Aja ... I really think that perhaps we ought not demand that the "victim" act as we would like. Perhaps all that collective guilty thing could be better harnessed and presented to this teacher as a collective apology.

Is HUNTING "Important" For a Presidential Candidate?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 2 Jan 12

I'm not joking; Wolf Blitzer said "Hunting is important" the other day on CNN. Below is an excerpt from the transcript of the show: BLITZER: Is there an element though -- is there an element of sexism under way in Iowa right...

gladys46 Hmmm, Annie ... I think the notion is utterly ridiculous ... more to do with overactive testosterone. I suppose Mr. Santorum isn't "as" pro-life as he claims ... surely, his family is not in need of wild game meals.

gladys46 Interesting is that this "memo" comes from the lobby firm of a former staff member of republican Majority Leader, John Boehner! The entrenched GOP establishment such as Newt GingRICH works its policy tricks ... it goes on and on "against" yes 99% of "us" !

gladys46 Annie, it's now all over for Troy Davis this a.m.! I have but a comment and that is, "A" truth is most often found in courts of law and not "The" truth!! Impaneled jurors are most often denied the actual info necessary to make a well founded decision.

gladys46 Hi sjaswon, I'm not a member at Facebook. Nevertheless, I think it's a great social space. I think it's important that you not expect to garner "close friends" on any cyber space ... friendly conversation is one thing, "close friends" are entirely another!
