Another thought, isn’t a Jetta one of them ‘furrin’ made cars? Why, why, that’s totally un-American.

She’s 7 months pregnant and “hadn’t put on a lot of weight” so she was able to conceal her pregnancy with scarves.

(NO. I won’t make a joke, and you can’t make me! >clamping hand on mouth<)

“Thanks God for second-greatest generation.”

Tells us what she thinks of the Viet Vets, doesn’t it?
Not just Kerry, but all of them, Repugs and Christian conservatives and kids who died believing they were doing the right thing. In fact the entirety of them. Of course Chaney, Bush, and Rush, the Viet draft dodgers, are OK by her.

She is a disgusting human being. 50,000 died and she blows them off but expects the rest of us to respect the military. No wonder she chokes up as the military, but not non military, play the Star Spangled Banner, she is chocking on her own hatred and prejudices.

She is so internally conflicted I’m surprised she can walk in a straight line. But her inner truth teller keeps telling us what she really thinks. And it is UuuuuglE.

“‘She had to go to the ER, and Track was there and they wouldn’t give him water because he was a minor and if they had to do surgery he was supposed to have an empty stomach. She understood but was furious because an underage girl “could undergo a painful, invasive, and scary abortion and no parent even had to be notified.’”

What a load of hog’s wallow. She is right that if someone is or might be undergoing surgery they need an empty stomach so that they won’t vomit and drown on their own vomit of stomach reflux. But that has nothing to do with their age. It has to do with normal medical precautions.

The major reason for the need for non-parental consent for pregnant teenagers, is
1) incest – highly possible
2) abuse – possible
3) unreported rape, date or otherwise – pretty common
4) bad parenting – probable

Remember that when, I believe Colorado, passed its parental consent law, one of the first girls impacted by that law was murdered by her parents when they discovered she was pregnant.

“god knew what he was doing?”

I HATE that when people say that God GAVE their kid autism or DS to, I don’t know, test the faith of the family or whatever justification they come up with.

Autism can be absolutely heartbreaking and the stats on couples with special needs kids are bad — very high divorce rate. Our sitter tried to work for a family with a serverly autistic kid, he screamed all day, it was just awful and sad.

No God I could respect would GIVE disabilities to some people, just to do it.
I don’t believe in a God that micromanages the Universe. The universe was created to run itself on natural laws.

I was afraid I’d crumble under the pressure and go buy her book, hating myself for whatever royalty crumbs would end up in her coffers. You’ve saved me the humiliation. Now I’m content to wait for Amazon’s .01 cent copy and in the meantime enjoy the show as America recoils in horror from what the GOP has wrought.

Thank you.

my dog, enough about selling the jet sarah – you then proceeded to monopolize the dept. of public safety’s king air prop jet to commute to and from juneau and fly around on your going away thank god state tour – including taking family to see the bears at mcneil. operating costs are around five thousand an hour, including crew and not including security, etc.

terpsichore your post about the matalin article was right on..How any woman would stand for any one slapping her in the face and doing or saying nothing about it explains why so may republican women stay with cheating husbands. She does sort of bend into a pretzel doesn’t she(rhetorical)

how long until the signed books appear on e-bay so impoverished Michaganders can try and make a buck?
