		<description>#3 Sirenoftitan...loved the picture of the chair and the story of how it is rewarded. Hope I can find out more about the bard&#039;s festival on line. Would love to read some of the poetry.

Plus I really enjoyed chatting with you last night.

		<description>Why is the queen missing in action, you might ask?  Well, my belief is she is working on self.  The best guess is she’s a little more into:  me, mine, and give me and not so much into you.

		<description>This less than erudite moron has the nerve to genuflect and suggest any sort of camaraderie  as if SP and Margaret Thatcher have anything in common aside from being carbon based units?

As if they were personal friends or acquaintances?

This was posted on Sarah Palin&#039;s facebook- and is she kidding?  

Why didn&#039;t she call Margaret when she first discovered her clitoris or had her first period?




Birthday Wishes to Margaret Thatcher

 Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 12:59pm
I would like to extend warm birthday wishes to Margaret Thatcher today. Baroness Thatcher continues to remain a role model to many people, particularly women, around the world. Her career is a collection of &quot;firsts.&quot; She was the youngest female Conservative Party member to stand for election in history, she was the first woman to hold the title Leader of the Opposition, and she was the first woman to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

As Prime Minister, she took an active role in defending economic freedom and democratic ideals. Her push to privatize British industry and lower tax rates led to a substantial economic expansion in the United Kingdom. She was just as influential in foreign policy. Along with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, Prime Minister Thatcher recognized the evil of Communism and worked tirelessly to erode the power and influence of the Soviet Union.

Her life and career serve as a blueprint for overcoming the odds and challenging the &quot;status quo.&quot; She started life as a grocer&#039;s daughter from Grantham and rose to become Prime Minister - all by her own merit and hard work. I cherish the accomplishments of Margaret Thatcher and will always count her as one of my role models.

		<description>Did we miss this?

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2009/09/full_text_of_newsmax_column_suggesting_military_co.php

Is there a reason John L. Perry isn&#039;t arrested or at the very least under investigation for sedition? How long are we going to let these whackjobs undermine this nation? If a liberal had printed this about Bush he&#039;d have their head on a platter first and investigate later.</description>

		<description>The best scientists are often kept out of government because they won&#039;t manipulate the facts. They are the very people we need out in the front because they will tell use the truth. They are blocked. Like Ivor van Heerden the professor who told them the levees in New Orleans was not going told hold and exactly why several years before it happened. They fired him.</description>
