So, you thought a guy like that would have a good woman beside him? Money can't buy everything, lol.

Nice catch: finding a second person who claims to have written an article so bad the author is walking around with a [figurative] "kick me!" sign on her back. You can't make this stuff up! [And if you could, it couldn't possibly be as awful, lol.] ;)

Oh, but there is: the bit about needing a knight in shining armor: portraying women as needing to be 'rescued' by a big strong man [as a normal routine] is highly offensive. I believe that women help men just as often as the other way around, but does that get glorified & romanticized in fairy...

From "you can't insult us, we have character & thick skin" to "you owe us an apology" in 84 posts, lol. FWIW: all the references to wife beating & physical abuse are missing the mark - it's not what I meant at all. That happens everywhere, and no one condones it [at least in public] any longer...

That's where I'll be tomorrow am, and I'm going to head for the nearest Lowes or Home Depot - never have a problem with parking there, even in Chicago. BTW, I bet the rest areas wouldn't be crowded by the time you got there - but you're right about fighting rush hour: better to wait it out. Take...

That whole 'Freedom of religion" argument is a two way sword, when it's not your religion that's being accommodated.....:eek:

My criticism of Palin is that she's an unprincipled fame *****, and Bachmann is just loony - but you read the quick response: I'm just jealous. Because a loony, unprincipled fame ***** is just what I would be, if I could. :rolleyes:

By Amy Elizabeth A Home Depot in Dearborn MI was the latest victim succumbing to the demands of an organization that shouldn’t be in existence in the United States of America. An American company the home depot gets over powered by the Muslim Brotherhood terror linked organization CAIR...

AntiSemitism is so easy to blame, just like racism is the only reason people criticize what Obama does, right? So what does it mean when I criticize Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and other white women? Carlos Strenger makes a point we need to be reminded of: cheering the bullies [because...

Well, DUH. It was a dumb thing to say, and most of us have done it once or twice too. [Not quite that dumb, but he is an original, lol] What I don't think is cool is not having a Mama Grizzly keeping a sharp eye on everything for me, dammit. ;)

Wisconsin: where having an upscale place to get off the road 'when nature calls' is a priority, but education, not so much. [Gov Walker cut the education budget, along with Medicaid,] Seriously: rest areas for 4 wheelers are truly not even needed any more, with 24 hour gas stations at many...

Twain's mention of a "common charge against Jews": "You feed on a country, but don't like to fight for it" is particularly unfair, given his recitation of desultory [and entirely inept] participation in his own country's fight, in "The Private History Of A Campaign That Failed". I have his...

Thanks for the cite - it mentions a bit about Melungeons in Bill Bryson's book "The Lost Continent", one of the few I don't happen to have on hand. I will get it, though, because what Bryson writes is always worth reading. Especially if you enjoy learning something while laughing your AO. :D

Um, if one has to qualify for State benefits in order to get Federal benefits, and State benefits must be earned, ergo, Federal benefits are also earned. I always wanted to use the word 'ergo' in something, lol.

Having spent some time chatting with him in person, he doesn't strike me as one who would do that, either. There are all kinds of reasons for lack of participation, and Moose's absence could be due to things we know nothing about. That said, I hope he comes back - he has a lot to add to...

Exactly: if they prefer to wear the hijab, who are we to say they shouldn't? Freedom means having a choice. Wouldn't it be more genuinely respectful if they chose to wear it?

There was an interesting conversation in progress here..... Hijacking/derailing threads is bad enough, but challenging others to join in the rude behavior is over the line. STOP IT. Besides, the Ragman is an artist, and as anyone with a smidgen of artistic talent knows, they don't produce...
