Sarah Does China....
Posted:
9/25/2009 7:58:25 PM
""'Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin used her first trip to Asia to attack the Federal Reserve for creating asset bubbles and encouraging excessive risk-taking that hurt working-class Americans.'""
Lets talk about the message and forget about the messenger....or can anyone do that?
The important point is asset bubbles created by government policies. Does anyone doubt asset bubbles are created by government policies?
I for one don`t give a hoot who it is that spreads the truth...................

Why are Americans so Anti Socialist?
Posted:
8/24/2009 2:52:58 PM
"From my lofty moral perch in Canada, ahem...we are looking at your battle to provide free health care in the states with some shock and amazement. "
Ok.........lets go with your statement that ObamaCare will be free..........How do you calculate free...?.....My interpretation of free is that I dont pay a dime for something and I also mean no tax.........Is that the way it works in Canada....? All Canadian citizens get free health care without any tax to support the system...right...?
Please enlighten me............

Do you do drugs???
Posted:
8/14/2009 10:05:35 PM
"What the hell are you laughing at...there is no such word as "drug" in the context you were using it pal. In every instance of your hilarious little paragraph, the word to use would be "dragged." Even if it did make sense, that would have been one of the stupidest things I've ever heard."
I have recieved your reply to my post above. I am impressed by the fact that a young whipper-snapper such as yourself has taken the time to respond to my levity.I thank you for that .
However,since there are some 50,000 folks that I have to reply to I will attempt to make this as simple for you to understand as possible.Having said that....I must plead confusion.
Before attempting to deal with your problem,I must confess I find it unclear,nebulous,enigmatic,disengenuous,murky,puzzling,eversional,adamantine,unintelligible,foggy,metamorphical,nescient,and possible reductio ad adsurdum..
I suggest you translate,redefine,requadrate,repostulate,explain more lucidly,expand,expurgate the pleonams and the protean,pusillanimous propositions you have propounded.
I have the feeling that I am dealing with a pompous pursuivant who is engaged in over- zealous obfuscation.

Do you do drugs???
Posted:
8/14/2009 3:35:42 PM
I certainly dont do drugs but,I will say that as a youngster that I was drugged......Yes indeed my parents drug me to church,drug me to family outings,drug me to school when I did not have a desire to go,drug me out of bed on weekends to do all kinds of nasty stuff like cleaning the yard,and to top it all off when I misbehaved my Mother would give my Dad a funny look and he drug me off to the woodshed~~~~~~~

Can a White person be African American?
Posted:
8/11/2009 10:30:32 AM
Messages this short, messages this short, messages this short. My point was made in a short message.
Actually the term African American probably stems from the need to qualify a person for "minority status" deep within the pages of America`s MWBE /Affirmative Action statutes.....If you fall within one of these numerous elite groups you can qualify for all sorts of federal and state goodies...........By the way it`s not only those folks from the African Continent that can take advantage of these programs.......even disabled American Veterans and yes...white women too.....Anyway....MWBE and Affirmative Action programs are here to split us apart and they have done a very good job at it....

Lorena Bobbitt`s sister charged with similar crime
Posted:
8/7/2009 10:05:32 PM
I suppose the real question in all this is....the courts will ultimately have to decide what kind of punishment fits this crime.In my way of thinking the judge should hand out a more lenient sentence when charged with a misdewiener.Think about it, here we have a group of angry women who on the surface it seems should be charged with a misdewiener when in fact they probably should be charged with the more serious category that falls under the heading of....

Lorena Bobbitt`s sister charged with similar crime
Posted:
8/6/2009 1:30:35 PM
In a recent news broadcast, it was announced that Lorena Bobbitt's sister Louella
Was arrested for an alleged attempt to perform the same act on her husband
as her famous sister had done several years ago.
Sources reveal the sister was not as accurate as Lorena.
She allegedly missed the target and stabbed her husband in the upper
thigh causing severe muscle and tendon damage.
The husband is reported to be in serious, but stable
condition, and Louella has been charged with ...

A lot of folks think that this program is all about green as in a greener enviroment.I say hogwash ...it`s about the other green.....You know that other stuff that makes the world go around.......What do you think is the largest sales tax generator for our cities and towns.........? You guessed it...Automobiles.......without auto sales the cities as we know them are going to dry up and blow away......So the real question is......what next?
What industry do we bail out next....?.......It`s a similar sitution for the COUNTIES in this country......Only they are dependent on property tax.....We see how that is going..
Forecloure rates that are not slowing down one iota......What next America..?
I know the solution.....let the Federal Government pay all our bills from cradle to grave......................Dont ya just love Socialism..........

"As for senators reading the bills out there, there are still three versions in the works, should the read all three versions, or wait till a unified bill starts to form then become more familiar on what each version offers and pick the best options to serve their constituents"
To answer your question about the best bill out of three.....yes...they damm well should read them all...............

Contempt of the voters..........
Posted:
8/1/2009 4:35:16 PM
Take for instance the trillion dollar stimulas bill that was passed by Congress which none of our politicians took the time to read.Has it by now come to everyone`s attention that we have a similar fiasco playing out in the Congress concerning National Health Care.It should come as no surprise that the yokels in Congress could care less evidenced by the comments by House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers,D-Mich., in which he goes on to state "I love these members,they get up and say , !Read the bill!. What good is reading the bill if it`s a thousand pages and you don`t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
I suppose this is the now the SOP of our elected officals who will simply just rubber stamp what ever is put in front of them.
My question is simply this......What the hell are these guy there for if not to do the job that we elected them to do.....,which includes reading proposed bills before they vote on them...? Contempt....?....................You be the judge..........

Number two..... A good sense of humor..... somebody who will keep him laughing in good times and bad
Number three... Honesty..... We men need our feet held to the fire whether we admit it or not."

Mismatched Libido's or Insecurities?
Posted:
7/27/2009 7:56:18 PM
"But, I more than intimated to him the depth of my relationship with BillyBob (I'm gonna see if I can get him to change his name to that, I kinda like it), and told him numerous times that I confided my deepest secrets to him. He gave every indication that he was totally cool with that, and never questioned me on the subject at all (unlike you, dear sir). Maybe he just didn't care.."
This is a "public" forum to the best of my knowledge and the reason I asked "the" question was not for sh-ts and giggles.It was a attempt on my part to put to rest what appeared to be an element of possible duplicity in the way you explained the sequence of events.Was I not included in the "other" people that you were refering to when you explained to your boyfriend that you were making inquiries...?

Mismatched Libido's or Insecurities?
Posted:
7/26/2009 9:58:42 PM
"The male friend in question is my best friend. We have been friends for 23 years. I tell him almost everything. He and my (now) ex met early on, and became friends, somewhat. No one was jealous of anyone, at least, not that I knew of. I don't consider it a betrayal of my boyfriend to discuss our relationship with my best friend. He is my confidante, and I value his opinion very highly. He would never give me advice based on his own agenda, he is far too honest, and we have been friends far too long."
Try as I might it would seem that part of the original question that I asked you has not been addressed......That would be the part about "does your SO know that you went to your male friend and discussed your problem"?.....I did get the part about we are no longer an item....still you did not address the full extent of my question.

"I wanted to clarify some of the things I left out of my original post. First off, the idea of my guy being insecure or feeling threatened never occurred to me until my friend mentioned it. And the friend in question? Male. This is why it got me thinking."
Did anybody but me catch that last part in the above paragraph that the OP posted....
I think it`s worth repeating......The friend in question is a MALE............I understand that you are a liberated woman and all that business,communicating sexual desires and the whole lot,but I have one question....Why do you go to your male friend and talk about your relationship with your current boyfriend? Especially something that is the subject of this whole post.Have you told your SO that you discussed this with your male friend?.........Call me a prude,but I find this a little odd................

Lasting longer depending on a person?
Posted:
7/26/2009 7:10:40 AM
"What factors determine how long a guy lasts? vagina tightness/ wetness? how relaxed/comfortable you are? do feelings play a role at all? What does lasting longer mean?"
Heres the deal Gray....The control center for all human activity starts and ends in the brain...once you learn to control your body you will be able to match the sexual prowess of whatever female human that you are with.It goes like this ..lets suppose that your current girlfriend is not capable of multiple "O`s" and is quick to get to the end of the race.You can train yourself to match this quick one time event and your both off to sleep in a hearbeat.Lets now go to the opposite extreme where the female partner is completly wrapped up in her own orgasams and can literally get off 40-50 times over the course of one evening.In able for the man to stay "alert" throughout this endevor it`s crucial that you learn to hang in there and show her the time of her life by prolonging your eventual climax to not come about until you sense that she is exhausted then you can go to cuddle land and off to sleep together.All of the factors that you have asked about have a role in this scenario,however none holds the key more so than the brain center.Once you grasp this truth about your ability to match your mate you are off to the races.

ok old school or new school as far as dating?
Posted:
7/20/2009 7:00:44 PM
As a really,really...old school guy I will venture my opinion. Todays internet dating has a few flaws that we need to reckon with and I suppose it comes from the fact that there are 20 quadzillion people coming at you from all directions.In this enviroment I find that a high percentage of people {women in this case} cant seem to make the most basic of decisions......that would be to stop the constant email back and forth and actually meet.....I guarantee that nothing is going to go anywhere until you get eyeball to eyeball.Having said that....I like the old way better where you met at a social function as an example and exchanged phone numbers.At least you already had your eyeball to eyeball and that gave you a better idea as to whether you liked each other to begin with.What I think is this........the computer age has made us highly dependent on doing almost everthing via the net...we may have taken a very simple thing {dating} and complicated it................JMO

is it unreasonable to ask him to pay?
Posted:
7/20/2009 3:44:13 PM
Another opinion from the peanut gallery............Seems to me that if you are not currently employed that you have your priorities all bass akwards........Here again ....just my opinion.Would it not make more since to go look for a job before you get into the dating game especially since your long distance situation is that he pays for everything. You cant play with the big dogs unless you want to get bit.Go look for a job and save your self respect.....or you could move to Nevada where people dont frown on this sort of thing...then again since your profile lists your occupation as "seceret" maybe the folks in California have a blind eye to this as well.

Does facial hair on men over 45 make them look older or younger?
Posted:
7/18/2009 3:41:45 PM
Who gives a rat what other women think about your facial hair..? The one woman you might be concerned with is the one currently in your life and even then...if she cant handle your style....well.........need I say more......find a woman that will accept you for who you are.I think a woman when confronted with a similar question {remember now..your talking about people over 45 who are more than likely set in their ways} would tell you to piss off if you did not like her choice of hairdo.Dress for yourself and not for the whim of others.

"Why are relationships difficult lately??"
I`m not so sure that they are...{lately}..............Whats with the lately business ?
Seems to me as a almost 70 male that there was always work {I know...it`s a dirty word {work} involved in a relationship and this did not just become apparent lately.I do think because of the way we date these days {internet,internet,internet first} has more to do with it than anything else...Think about it...we are bombarded with fifteen quad zillion choices of the opposite sex coming at us from all directions.People are reluctant to even make a decision on meeting to say nothing ot the eventual work of a possible relationship......jeez Louise...........

How important is money?

"Some people live there lives without money being involved at all like the Amish for example & they seem happy with there lives."
It`s just not true that the Amish live their lives without money....true ...they live a very frugal life,but to say that they live their lives without money....do a little simple Google and you will find that they hold jobs for money,pay bills with money....etc............I stand by my theory...........

How important is money?
Posted:
7/5/2009 1:12:13 PM
"How important is money?"
I have a theory............and here it is..............
"It`s aways about the money"..............if you doubt that just read thru the posts and ask yourself these questions...Can I live without money...........?.....Can he or she live without money...?...Do they have more money than me..?....or less for that matter...?
Money is for good or bad how we keep track..............Do you doubt that..?..Everything we do in life revolves around money or the lack of it......
When I take a trip to a foreign country it is no different when it comes to this subject.
It is essential to survive................We worry about the lack of it.....We worry about how best to conserve it...........Each year at tax time we think about how to to pay only our fair share................it`s probably on our minds more than sex.......
I say..............."It`s always about the money"................That`s my theory and I`m sticking to it..............................

Nipple Size - What do guys prefer?

This is a red herring that the knife weilder is throwing at you my dear.....it`s designed to fit his agenda...As in how can he make his Mercedes payment this month...As for the question you pose to guys about their preference .........I will say this...You will get as many answers to this as there are words in the dictionary.Some of the gals hit on what is probably the most important issue......Sensitivity......Do you think after he has chopped on them for a while that you will be better in this department?....I think everyone knows the answer to that question.........My personal preference is for my lover to have boobs that are wired to other areas of her body regardless of the size of this or that.......kinda like electric current....My advice.....leave em alone......

Most Wild Place You Had sex!
Posted:
6/13/2009 1:20:34 PM
Many,many years ago I had a girlfriend who worked in a doctors office.We had gone to dinner just around the corner from where she worked and susequently left the place where we had ate.She carried a key to the office with her and she said there was some reason to stop in and check on something.Little did I know what was in store for me...The doctor happened to be a GYN...........You guessed it..within a very short period of time she was in the stirrups and the rest is in my memory bank...What the hell..life is all about the memorie when all is said and done. This was not a public place,but it is on the top of my list as strange places to have sex.

Why do lots of women find it so stimulating to give a blowjob?
Posted:
6/11/2009 9:10:52 PM
I have known women that get off with nothing but a lollypop in their mouth...thats how much that they are into it.I have given this considerable thought and have come to the realization that women are not as unlike as we would put forward.We all share the fact that we are sexual beings and male and female alike want the best sexual experiance for our respective partners. "IT IS PLEASING TO PLEASE".........Turn the tables and the man in most cases wants to please his woman in the same fashion....I know I do.

Wabbits
A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth,
'Excuthe me, Mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?'
As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks, 'Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?'
She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice, 'I don't think my python weally gives a thit.'

"As for the CNN pieces, I thought the one on Biden was thorough and fair. I didn't watch the one on Palin, I just couldn't stomach it. I'm suffering from a Palin overdose"
.......................................................................................................................................
Pretty much sums up the term "closed mind"..........................I personally watch Fox,MSNBC,CNN,and even read the Huffington Post......even though I can`t stomach some of the aforementioned,

"you know, you get what you pay for. right now, the president doesn't make as much as many mid-level Wall St. executives."
.......................................................................................................................................Thats my point exactly.....we dont get what we pay for,so what makes you think that because we pay someone a billion dollars per year were going to have a better run government.I dont subscribe to that theory.The country did quite well when we did not have this system of making millionaires out of elected officals.

Other than reimbursement for expenses, please give me solid reasons for politicians to recieve one dime for a "salary". After all isn`t this supposed to be a "higher" calling.
Think about it.....the peoples business has evolved into a system of entrenched power and benefits for a class of elites.

Will Palin's interview change things? Will she campaign alone? Is it now Obama/Palin?

"I am not disrespecting McCain, but if all of my answers related to my struggles as a black person that also happens to be female. The media would say 'enough'. Just think about it"
.......................................................................................................................................
I do get sattire,and do not have a problem with it,but I would also suggest that all does not come back to Vietnam in the case of John McCain.If that was all the guy had to offer I think that would show up in the polls.The country is divided and it`s not because of war service or lack thereof.

Well.......you cant have it both ways. According to "published" reports it`s not just the media that speaks about this issue,it`s also the cow where the milk originated from,as he certainly talks about it himself......as an example read the following excerpt from a newspaper article....This was a 2 second Google search.I`m confident if I spent more time on this issue I could finds lots of sources to buttress my point.
.......................................................................................................................................
CHICAGO (CBS) ― Some say Illinois Senator Barack Obama gave himself a little too much credit for his work as a community organizer. Obama's past work in Chicago's troubled Altgeld Gardens housing project is a staple of his presidential stump speeches, and a significant part of his first book.
.......................................................................................................................................
I have not taken the time to vet the book that our CO guy wrote,suffice it to say he seems to have addresed the issue at length in his own book.
Sounds like "milk" to me.

"2) He has milked the POW card to death. Enough already"
.......................................................................................................................................
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................Milking is what politicians do.................
As an example some politicians milk the the POW card while others milk the CO card.
Let`s see now.....what could CO possibly translate to......How about community organizer.................I think I would rather buy my milk from someone who has served his country as few ever do.

It just occured to me watching some of the pundits and people being interviewed that if you looked real close the liberals seem to have another trait in common that I have never noticed before.Smirk.....................yes you read that right.They seem to have this all knowing,we know much better,you dont know what your talking about smirk.
Call me crazy,but I seem to see this more and more as the weeks go by.Maybe it`s just the political season that this manifests itself.I personally think it`s because most of them can`t get over the fact that Washington is set to be turned up-side-down and it will be sooner rather than later that power is handed over to common folks,such as working moms.Anybody else notice this phenomenon?

A fathers perspective on "Barracuda"
Posted:
9/11/2008 11:50:13 AM
WASILLA, Alaska (CNN) -- Gov. Sarah Palin's father never imagined that his "little girl" would run for the vice presidency, but he knows his daughter's determination made her a success when others, including himself, expected her to fail.
Chuck Heath says it hasn't "settled in" that his daughter, Sarah Palin, is running for vice president.
"I look back on Sarah's perseverance, and whatever she wanted to do, she put her nose to the grindstone, especially in sports," Chuck Heath told CNN in an extensive interview in his Wasilla, Alaska, home. "If she didn't have a certain ability, she worked and worked and worked until she obtained that ability or skill."
Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, surprised the political world when he picked Palin, a first-term governor from Alaska, to be his running mate nearly two weeks ago. The interview with Palin's father will be included in "Sarah Palin Revealed," a documentary that will air on CNN at 9 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday.
Heath, a retired science teacher and coach who now works with the federal Wildlife Services Program, said his daughter started exhibiting her stubborn streak at an early age. Watch Heath say he was stunned when Palin was picked »
"Sarah, she was something else," he said. "I wasn't mean to her. I was stern with her, but I could seldom bend her if she made up her mind on something."
And by the third or fourth grade, Palin, who is the third of four children, was determined to read the newspaper from front to back, Heath said.
"When I moved here, she read the newspaper more than I did. I'd grab the sports; she'd grab the front page -- I remember that distinctly," he said. "And she would read all of it, all the national part and the local part. And I'd look at the headlines; she'd read it all through."
Heath, 70, who coached his daughter in cross-country running, said Palin turned herself into a top high school athlete by outworking and outhustling everyone else. In high school, Palin earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her play on the championship-winning girls basketball team. Watch how Palin's decision to elope showed her tenacity »
"I had a bunch of good girls, a bunch of good runners, and she was just mediocre in practice," he said. "And the first meet, she smoked everyone, and that opened my eyes, and the competitiveness in her really came out that day."
It wasn't until after high school that Palin focused on politics, Heath said. She surprised her father when she decided to run for the Wasilla, Alaska, city council in 1992.
"I said 'why?' and she just said 'I feel like I can help the community,' " he said. "And when she ran for mayor, that really got my attention. I felt she was out in left field." Watch Palin's friends tell how Palin juggled politics and motherhood »
Heath said he did not think his daughter could unseat the incumbent mayor of Wasilla when she ran in 1996.
"It wasn't her gender; it was she was running against a guy that had been in there for three terms... and I said to myself, she'll never beat him, and, bingo, she did," Heath said.
The fact that his daughter was governor of Alaska was "finally starting to sink in" when Palin was tapped to be McCain's running mate, Heath said. He admitted he was in a "dreamland" when Palin accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination in St. Paul, Minnesota, last week.
"I couldn't believe this was happening to my little girl -- completely blindsided," Heath said.
But, as she steps onto the national stage, he has no doubt that Palin will show the same drive and determination that have made her a winner in the past.
"The critics who are on her, you just wait ... she's never let us down, doing things when she strives to do it," Heath said.
That doesn't mean that Heath isn't worried about his daughter.
"It makes me nervous. I mean, she's still my little girl," he said.

OJ SIMPSON TRIAL
Posted:
9/9/2008 4:29:05 PM
As they said .....the O.J. Simpson "circus" came to town Monday,but nobody went.According to the newspaper that I get from Vegas everyday,only a handful of media even showed up for this Ringling Bros. spectacle.It had the likes of a guy penned as Joe Pepitone,who by anyone`s measure is as wacked out as the "Juice" on steroids.Only this time old "Joe" was decked out in a barrel and carrying a sign blasting his grievances with the judical system.The festivities also included a gal running around dressed as no other than "Wonder Woman".Perhaps the funniest thing to behold was the barricades put up to keep the masses at bay.According to a friend in attendance one of the barricades had a hand painted sign with the warning "Special event: no public parking "passed" this barrier." Even a killer of the English language such as myself would know to spell it "past" when used in that context.This little exercise began with 500 potential jurors of which lawyers quickly whittled it down to 248.....Of that number 86 would take the walk to Judge David Wallis`courtroom,where jury selection is ongoing.I would like to see the "Juices" facial expressions we he finally enters the courtroom where the actual trial will take place.
That little episode will take place in the inner sanctum of none other than Vegas` own "hanging" judge,,,,,,District Judge Jackie Glass.
