I am annoyed with the continual condescension of Obama supporters.  When Hillary won Pennsylvania, it was because of "stupid old people" voting for her.  Now that she's leading West Virginia, it's because "stupid hillbillies still think Obama is Muslim".  Therefore, the "stupid hillbillies" shouldn't have the right to vote.  Ack!  It just makes me want to scream. 

Whenever Hillary wins its because of the voters stupidity or Rush Limbaugh.  Maybe there is a t...

I'm watching Pride and Prejudice...again.  I think I was born in the wrong time or place.  I want my very own Mr. Darcy.  I want someone to declare that they love me...most ardently.  I want someone to tell me that I have bewitched them body and soul.  swoon.  Do you think I could convince some handsome British man to follow a script and dress in authentic Georgian costume?  Do you think I could find a man who would even understand what I mean when I say that I...

I'm planning imaginary vacations.  I need something to look forward to.  I may not be able to take my imaginary trips for a few years but sometimes it's fun just to dream.  So my theme for this Friday Five will be vacations.

1.  If you could take a one-month trip anywhere in the world and money were not a consideration, where would you go?  Name your top three destinations. 

2.  If you were going on a girlfriend getaway or a guys only weekend, where...

Okay, this is going to be a quick one.  Can I just say that I really didn't ever need or want to know any of the details of Babs sex life?  I have a special contempt for anyone who chooses to sleep with a married person but then to advertise the fact in your memoirs.  Maybe you should have just kept it to yourself. 

Stay classy, Babs. 

My life has been like a horror filled version of the Calgon commercial; the kids, the bills, the job search, the hubby (or lack of him) etc.  I've just been a big ball of anxiety lately. 

It's funny how one little comment can just make your day.  I've already been going through major life um...challenges.  I know I have been overly sensitive and can get my feelings hurt if someone says boo to me.  Not to mention dealing with the trauma of a probable Obama nomina...

As horrible and tragic as the cyclones and the lives lost in Myanamar are.  It is even more tragic that Myanamar officials seem more concerned with staying in power than helping their own people.  People are starving and devastated.  Myanamar has accepted help from a few neighboring countries but there are many more that are willing to help but being denied permission.  This situation is just horrendous and it breaks my heart.  I just watched a news report which showed a...

This whole argument just drives me crazy.  So much for transcending race or the post-racial candidate.  Race is as big as an issue as any in this current campaign.  According to the linked article, if Hillary Clinton says she's "more electable" that is some kind of secret code for "I'm more electable because I am white".  This is such and complete and utter bullshit.  Why is the fact that 90% of blacks are voting for the black candidate not considered racist?  I gue...

So the most wanted Hollywood hairdo of the moment is Katie Holmes bob.  I'm considering it.  Of course, I have to consider that if I get Katie Holmes haircut it won't miraculously make the rest of me look like Katie Holmes.  I've really been appreciating the whole 20's, Zelda, flapper, Art Deco thing lately though.  I might even learn how to do the Charleston. 

I have debating on bangs already.  I have had long sideswept bangs for a long time but now they've grow...

Friday fives were started on JU by Miguna, taken over by LW and this week I'm having a go at it.  Actually they aren't my questions but are questions I picked from a site called brain candy.  So let's hear your answer JU.

1. If you had to have one piece of music softly playing in your mind for the rest of your life, what would you want it to be?

2. Which sport would you most like to play professionally?


3. What do you believe is the greatest unsolved mystery of all?

What exactly is our mission in Iraq? 

Are we in the middle of a civil war? 

Is success when there is minimal violence in Iraq? 

Is success when we convince two groups that don't want to compromise to compromise? 

How do we force them to compromise with a miliary action? 

Will there ever be a united Iraq? 

Is reconcilliation between the Shiites and Sunnis even possible? 

What about the Kurds? 

What about all the Iraqi refugee...
