Best. Wedding Entrance. Ever. {Lemondrop}

Jul 25th 2009 1:20PM Didn't the Lord say "Make a joyful noise unto me"? Hmmm?

THIS is one great big joyful noise.

What makes a marriage sacred is not the trappings of the wedding ceremony, but the dedication of two hearts.Those who think the ceremony IS the marriage, whether solemn or not, are the deluded ones. The marriage is in the spirit--and this couple certainly has that!

If God is Love, then God is surely smiling on the couple who celebrates love with such zest and exuberance!

Of Sex and Senators: Why the Media Struggle With Nookie-Related News {Politics Daily}

Jul 4th 2009 12:22PM If John Ensign's indiscretions have garnered too much attention, he has only himself to blame. He ratcheted the stakes up exponentially by his extremely public stance as a "Promise Keeper."
Personally, as a political and sexual liberal, I don't give a rat's tush who does what to whom, as long as--to steal a quote--"they don't frighten the horses."
If we castigated every politician who indulged in extramarital activity, we'd have to begin with Washington and Jefferson. I'd be willing to bet that the truth about how many presidents (just to, for the moment, limit our attention to the most visible of all politicians) have "strayed" would reveal a percentage slightly higher than the national average. Powerful men may well be more susceptible to such activity--or at least have more opportunity.
I did not care about the Bill and Monica Follies--but I DID care that he was such a jackass about it. Had he simply said "Not your business" that would have ended my personal interest. It was the posturing, the lying and the insane equivocating over definitions that nauseated me. It was the protestations of an adolescent caught in the back seat of a car--not the sophistication and discretion I'd expect from a leader.
In Ensign's case--as in the case of other religious posers, such as Falwell and Bakker and...(oh, the list is too long!)--the outrage is that he dared to prescribe a moral code for others that he did not follow himself. I prefer leaders who lead by example.
Frankly, I'd rather we all shut the hell up about our own and others' sexual pecadilloes and get on with the serious buiness of keeping our people alive: keeping them from hunger and keeping them from killing each other.
I have never heard of anyone ACTUALLY getting f'ed to death, have you?

We knew it! Heated seats boil your boys {Autoblog}

Aug 30th 2008 11:35PM Do you need an English lesson?
"CHOICE" means CHOICE!
Choice means options.
You can turn the heat on or off,
wear the condom or don't,
eat the pill or not,
have the baby or give the baby away or abort.
That's what "Pro-Choice" means, as opposed to:
"You do what MY church wants you to do,
and you have NO choice."
"Pro-choice" does not mean "pro-abortion.'
It means pro-choice.
Get it?

Jury duty fraud: How scammers use civic involvement to rob you {WalletPop}

Aug 22nd 2008 4:27PM I don't understand your remark.
Who says "professionals" don't serve?
I have been on two juries: one federal (criminal) and one state (civil).
In each case there were several backgrounds represented, including young and old, male and female, various ethnicities, and various professions, ranging from students and housewives to construction workers and teachers.
Stop making excuses.
EVERYONE should serve.
Laws are made three ways: by the legislature we VOTE for, by the precedents set by JURIES, and by the determinations of GRAND JURIES.
To refuse or resist serving is to abdicate your responsibility as a citizen.

Jury duty fraud: How scammers use civic involvement to rob you {WalletPop}

Aug 22nd 2008 4:09PM Nice. You DON'T vote or sit on a jury.
But I'd bet you DO complain about the government.
Bet you complain about taxes.
Bet you complain about how the government is spending your money.
Bet you complain about gas prices, and health care and schools.
Bet you complain about crime, and crooked politics.
Bet you just complain and complain.
Well, in a democracy, you get the government you deserve.
If you fail to vote or take part in jury duty, you forfeit your moral right to complain about hte results--although..
I'll bet ya complain about it anyway.
You get what you deserve.

Candid View: Sherri Shepherd Talks Religion, Abortion & Weight Loss {Blackvoices Main}

Jul 22nd 2008 11:01AM Has NO ONE noticed the anti-Semitic implications of Sherri Shepherd's remarks about "saving" Barbara Walters? If Shepherd has so much faith in her Christ, then why not trust HIM to "save" those who need saving?

Women's Mysteries Explained {Personal Articles}

Jul 14th 2008 12:51AM CJ, if you want to discuss your situation privately, e-mail me at phoenix1249@aol.com

I might be able to help.
I'm 58, married 3 times, so I know a little about "baggage" from [past relationships.

Women's Mysteries Explained {Personal Articles}

Jul 13th 2008 10:31PM ...oh yeah..about the bathroom thing:
I go when I need to go.
If someone else wants to go at the same time, makes no difference to me.

Women's Mysteries Explained {Personal Articles}

Jul 13th 2008 10:28PM OK, guys...this is from a "mature" woman, who's seen it all: This article sounds like it was written by a fairly immature and self-absorbed young woman.
I do NOT expect anyone to "read my mind." If I want something, I'll tell you. If you don't want to give it to me, you'll tell me. At least we'll both know where we stand.
On "who pays?": Whoever makes the first move pays for the first date, at whatever economic level he or she can afford. After that, either both share, or take turns, but always at whatever level each can afford. If I can only afford a hotdog from a pushcart, I'll pay for that. If I can afford to treat you to filet mignon, I'll do that. When it is your turn, you can do what you can do, and we can each feel mutual and self-respect. Women are no longer dependent children.
And I NEVER ask "Does this make me look fat?" That is a loaded and lose-lose question. Instead, if I ask "Does this look good on me, or should I change my clothes?" you can answer honestly, and help me look my best, without hurting my feelings.
See how easy it can be between ADULTS with no manipulation?

Censorship in toys {ParentDish}

Jul 6th 2008 9:53PM Are ya kidding me? Will it let you spell "s u c k?" How about "a s s u m e?" Or does it get stuck on "a s s?" So, what is the worst that could happen, without the "censor?" A kid might spell a "bad" qord, and his parents might have to explain why it should not be used. But wait! Isn't that what parents are supposed to do? Or should we rig pencils to break when the word is spelled in writing? Or should we rig our kids mouths to freeze up when they try to say it out loud? Anyone read "1984?" Read about how language controls thought. What next? Will someone make a toy that will not spell "Democrat?" Or "revolution?" Personally, I'd throw away the toy, and spend time teaching my kid to spell with a pencil. And if he wanta to spell "bad" words, at least I'd make sure he knows the word is not spelled "f u k!"
(Hope THIS makes it through the censors!)
