About Me

My photo
Atlanta, GA, United States
Born and raised on Manhattan's upper Westside with psychoanalysis as our religion & the Broadway theater as our church... Mom was a professional musician with "Phil Spitalny and His All-Girl Orchestra," the model for "SOME LIKE IT HOT." She slapped the bass! Daddy came to NYC to be an opera singer. Instead, he became an architect, carving out his niche as the creator of "wedding palaces!" Like my parents, I married someone totally different from myself & when we celebrate our wedding anniversary, no one is more stunned & delighted than we are! We have 2 married sons enjoying their diverse careers. We share our dream home with a cat and a retired racing greyhound. Jim continues his "ultra" running and I continue pumping iron. Life is good.

So You Think You're For


Just how rational is your decision to vote for McCain /Obama?

ABC News devised "MATCH-O-MATIC" to see which candidate's statement (unidentified until you complete it) on given issues most accurately reflects your opinions.

I took the quiz and, although overall it affirmed my Sept. 23rd vote for Obama (GA), on 3 issues I identified with something McCain said.

That rascally maverick!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

NPR radio carried a news story about the high level of VOTER REGISTRATION being mounted at BOB JONES UNIVERSITY (Virginia) where McCain support is overwhelmingly high.
FYI: BJU is ULTRA-FUNDAMENTALIST Christian. You can check out their rules & regs online.
So how do they reconcile their strict, fundamentalist morality with supporting for President of the USA an AVID GAMBLER (favors the craps table) in Las Vegas & wherever else it's legal?McCAIN HAS NEVER HIDDEN HIS LIFELONG LOVE OF GAMBLING and, as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Indian Affairs, has supported the establishment of CASINOS ON INDIAN REServations; only blocking them when they conflict with the gambling interests of those lobbyists who have gotten to him.
Personally, if it's legal and he enjoys it and it's not creating a problem for him & his family, I say, "Live and let live."
But the NYTimes had a stunning investigative report on the influence of gambling lobbyists on McCain's chairmanship. That's a moral, if not legal, issue.
But, at BJU GAMBLING = SIN and McCain is clearly unrepentent!

Gosh, darn it, Bob Jones! How can ya call yourselves "Christians," and rally round this guy without even addressing the question of his enthusiastic gambling habits and legislation? What am I missin' here?


A Clear Pattern of Dangerously Poor Judgment

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it!"
And repeat it. And repeat it.
How many of us weren't old enough (or are too distracted) to remember, Sen. McCain's participation in the notorious "Keating 5" group of senators who took bribes to support & protect the kingpin of the Savings & Loan meltdown of 1990?
Watch this gripping documentary and in about 13 minutes you will revisit this then-stunning financial catastrophe (I mean, we were only talking $million$ then).
You will also hear how little Sen. McCain has learned since then, leading him to make the unrealistic pronouncements on the current state of our economy!

SARAH PALIN'S FLOW CHART


I wish I knew who to give credit to on this; but - God bless you whomever you are!!!

Lauralyn


Sarah Palin Delivers Uncanny Tina Fey Immitation for 90 Minutes - LIVE TV at its vexing best!

Ohm'gosh, where tuh begin? Didja see our Sarah put Sen. Joe in his place, thank you very much?!!
The way she simply ignored those pesky, backward lookin', blame-gamin' questions about Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, our economic crisis & equal legal protections for same sex domestic partners as for heterosexual married couples.

And the way she covered for the fact that she doesn't pretend to understand what the devil an "Achilles Heel" is so how could she answer the darn question?! She just used that as yet another opportunity to point out all her winnin' traits.

Her make up was flawless, honey! Her eyes flashed, she flirted with Joe giving him sidway glances with a mischievous smile that conveyed, "Now there you go again puttin' out all those facts and figures just like an Insider; and poor little me here just knowin' the truth of what's in my heart!"

And she carried this off wearin' those high fashion red pumps with the spike heels! Who says she doesn't have the attention span for learnin' all the stuff she's gonna hafta know. If she can talk that good while her feet are killin' her; well, you betcha she'll be able to handle White House briefings.

WAKE UP AMERICA - we aren't voting for a casting change for the 3rd sequel to "Pretty in Pink!" Though Sarah would make a fantastic grown-up Reese Witherspoon for a sequel to the movie she made with Matthew Broderick, "ELECTION!"

After watching Sen. Joe graciously ANSWER the questions asked, displaying a masterful knowledge of recent history and how Obama and he will govern America out of its current labrynth of Bush misjudgements and narcism - can there be any doubt who should be a heartbeat away from the Presidency of the US?

Sen. McCain, with his history of multiple recurrences of MELANOMA has chosen a cunning, ignorant, unqualified, aggressive local politician to be his stand-in, confirmation that he is a GAMBLER personality type to the core: impulsive, blind, conning himself into thinking he can turn this thing around anytime. God help us!

In sharp contrast, Sen. Obama reveals an intelligence applied consistently to SOLVING AMERICA'S PROBLEMS by listenning, assessing and coming to his conclusions by surrounding himself with intelligent experts. He doesn't want a pretty ventriloquist's dummy to sit on his knee and spout the soundbytes he's mouthing for her. In selecting Sen. Joe Biden, he made wisdom and knowledge his primary values.

Obama sees a future worth voting for and he's got the factual plans to make it happen. McCain just wants moh power and a pretty girl to distract the folks from noticing what he's "palming off" on the electorate.
