Miss Wisc answered the interview question about whether contestants should be allowed to declare their political affiliations...

She said that would not be a good idea.

I agree.

Another contestant was asked about government intervention to deal with obesity.
She said that she was against it. She said that parents should deal with that issue.

I don’t know why they have to always pick such mediocre girls to represent Texas. I see more beautiful girls on the street here than at the Miss America contest. Have any Texas girls EVER won?

Heck, my hometown of Denton, Texas has two Miss Americas. Phyllis George grew up down the block from me and Shirley Cothran was across town. Both are Denton Broncos.

Wow, really? I’d forgotten about them. That’s great.

No Texas wins since the late 70’s, though.
They need to do something about the way they choose the Texas Miss America contestants. They girls they choose are just mediocre.

Farrah Fawcett and Eva Longoria are from my town.

One of the competitions should require the contestants to be without makeup. Too many contestants are easels for makeup.

To: Mountain Mary; All

i watched the last part last night...i was rooting for Ms Oklahoma or Miss NY based on their answers to the question posed...the questions were uber political..

they asked Miss Oklahoma, “with child obesity being such a problem in this nation the government is considering getting involved- should the gov’t get involved in determine what children eat?”...

Ms Oklahoma” “while we need to combat child obesity the parents should be responsible for the children and what they eat- not the gov’t”...

one very curt judge asked Ms NY: “the occupy wall street movement brought awareness to the fact that 1% of the people in this nation control the majority of the wealth- what do you think of the OWS movement”...

Ms NY: “while its everyone’s right to protest you must also offer solutions for what you are protesting about- protesting and complaining about problems without offering solutions will not solve anything”...nail meet head and the judge who asked the question was not happy with Ms NY’s answer...

Both good answers. I missed this part(walking the dog).

Were either Miss O. or Miss NY runners up?

Well, it’s actualllly a Wisconsin ping list. I’m “minding” it for Diana in Wisconsin because she’s extra busy right noe. LOL. I just include a few words in each ping so that the reader will know what it’s about before they open the ping. IOW if it says “Packers” and you don’t like Packers (which I know is not the case for you) you don’t have to open it.

Anyhow, you are on until you tell me to take you off!
