A dozen women in smart blazers, flowing dresses and short black skirts

Boy, I'll bet that looks pretty stupid!

My thoughts as well. They should pick one look and stick to it. Wearing a dress AND a short skirt is just silly.

The dinner party concept sounds interesting. Not too many years ago, people understood how to behave at social gatherings, and would naturally circulate. It was considered to be bad form to spend too long with any one person or group, no matter how interesting. Nowadays you go to a party and people hang out together from beginning to end, and it is impossible to circulate freely, because you are always barging in on somebody else's conversation. It looks like these parties are just an attempt to enforce rules of behaviour that used to be common sense.

Sounds better than the singles' bar, but I never, EVER want to return to ANY dating scene.

"I'd be happy with someone who would say 'comedy,'" she said. "If someone was really into war movies, I'd be, like, 'good-bye!'"

This woman is a narrow-minded maroon doomed to loneliness.

Att'n Single Women: Be Smart -- Dump your Sterotypes and Think Again

My husband, and come to think of it most of my favorite guys, are INTO war movies, which I never was. They have broadened my horizons -- now, many of my favorite movies are ones I never expected I'd come to love and cherish -- The Cruel Sea, Zulu, Das Boot, Bridge on the River Kwai, Von Ryan's Express, Twelve O'Clock High, any of the Horatio Horblower series, Master and Commander, the Blue Max ... that's just scratching the surface -- there are so many! I love Jane Austen movies and romantic comedies ... but I would NEVER, EVER, be stupid enough to want to marry a man who preferred Jane Austen and romantic comedy over films about warriors.

Her list reads: Job? Hobbies? Bike/hike? Education? Pets? Favorite author? Favorite vacation spot? Favorite movie?

"I'd be happy with someone who would say 'comedy,'" she said. "If someone was really into war movies, I'd be, like, 'good-bye!'"

Like, no kidding? I'm like, so shocked, that like, you are still single.

Her requirements for a date are so shallow that if you enjoy war movies you are history. Sounds like most of neighbors.

Would you prefer a crusty pant-suit?

I thought the same thing. Doesn't anyone dress to flatter their figure anymore?

I think this is a great idea: Here are my questions:

1) Who did you vote for last election?
2) Who will you vote for this election?
3) Do you believe in a power greater than yourself?
4) Do you have a good relationship with your family?
5) Do you have any children?
6)Describe your relationship with them
7) Would you mind if the woman you're dating spends at leat two hours a day on a Conservative website and probably will always know more than you?

That about wraps it up for me.

"Wearing a dress AND a short skirt is just silly."

maybe that is why I can't get a woman.

Neither...pant-suits remind me of LARGE ankles for some reason...IIRC, their scientific name is "cankles."

When my husband and I met, we were on complete opposite ends of the spectrum.. he was an ultra conservative Christian and I was an ultra left wing atheist...He made me think and research for myself both of our viewpoints.. and I discovered some wonderful things... God IS real, He does love me, and there's nothing like a carefully researched right wing conversion :)

Who do you think is going to be paying for your free prescription drugs when you retire? Not to mention who is going to pay off the current 7 trillion / projected 45 trillion dollar deficit?

Well, first of all, I'm not in favor of free prescription drugs.

Secondly, you are confusing terms: there is a difference between the (federal budget) deficit and the (total) debt.

Much of the deficit is a function of the War on Terror and the War in Iraq.

A lot of the accumulated federal debt is a function of winning the Cold War which you have benefited from.
