I watched the entire Greta interview. XGINO’s response to Greta’s question about the poor: What I learned was that the poor, mostly black unemployed, devastated populace of Detroit (the poorest of the poor) have the same opportunity to flourish as others because of private enterprise? Everyone, no matter where the location have opportunity if only taxes would be cut….maybe I misheard?

I did get to hear Ms. Palin actually say ‘President Obama.’ All is not lost!

You are truly a courageous woman to have braved the pitiful prose contained within the covers of that boo…

boooo…

booooo….

Sorry, but I just have too much respect for the beauty and art of the written word to call that piece if drivel a b**k. I am sending you vast quantities of virtual chocolate to aid in your recovery.

She says “worshipfull loyalty” about Obama? That’s what she demands and expects from her fans and friends.

Yes, one question. How have you gotten through reading this —-? I am way behind, but still reading your summary & interpretations. I certainly wouldn’t be able to get through the book myself! I did, however get the “real SP book” that IS worth the read, in the mail just yesterday, so “color me rouge,” I’m reading that one.

Many DS persons have autistic spectrum disorders. As the parent of an autistic son, I can assure you this lack of routine, constant changes, noise, new people, passed and touched by anyone would freak him the heII out. That baby should be taken away. The mother should be put away. She’s sick.

For a break from the insanity, here is a video that I enjoyed when I found it.

It’s been called “The Pink Glove Dance”

Hope it brings a smile!
