...Americans have revered such homely leaders as Abe Lincoln. They seem open to balding pates like Rudy’s and flattops like Jon Tester’s. They don’t want self-confidence to look like self-love.[If this is original with Dowd, it is a very good summary of human nature]...
...Someone who aspires to talk credibly about the two Americas can’t lavish on his locks what working families may spend on electricity in a year. You can’t sell earnestness while indulging in decadence.
Mr. Edwards, the son of a mill worker, moved from a $5.2 million, six-bedroom Federal mansion in Georgetown to a 28,000-square-foot behemoth in North Carolina with a basketball court, a squash court, two stages and a swimming pool.
His 25-year-old daughter, Cate, a former editorial assistant for Vanity Fair, co-founded Urbanista, an online Rolodex that dispenses advice for “hip” girls in Manhattan, offering to be a “bestie” (a best friend) and answer questions like “Where should I go to get my Marc Jacobs shoes reheeled?” and “Does anyone know the best place to get a really great haircut?” One salon the site recommends is Warren-Tricomi, where Edward Tricomi says haircuts range from $121 to $300.
The cost of grooming hair is peanuts compared with the cost of grooming an image. Hillary is paying a fortune to try to buy the secrets of likability. Her financial reports for the first three months of 2007 show debts to consulting firms of $447,000.

My last electricity bill was about $58, and the one before was about $63. Don’t know what you need to have running that should run up your bill. BTW- I pump my own water out of my own well for the household usage and the 5 horses water tanks.

What Catherine Zeta Jones has done [except for the morale boost to any American male not yet at room temperature] is engage in a somewhat successful acting career and commercial career, and become a wife and a Mom. And she’s done it without disparaging or vilifying anybody in public [to my knowledge], nor continuing to moan, like a cat in heat, about her lack of mating opportunities [while blaming that failure on everyone but herself]. Dowd is a Harpy.
She looks like the undead.
Heh.
You forgot the Spanish accent, lol.
Good pic. The gods are appeased.
Now, that's too tough!
Sure she could.....stick a sock in her mouth and pull a bag over her head (as prophylaxis against the MoDo stare of death), and away you go. Kegger's made.
Kinda like pre-game football locker-room pep rallies were made by Katie "Choo-Choo" Couric, once upon a time in old Virginny. Every starter a champion by game time.
She is also an object lesson to girls, about The Doom of Sour Gender-Fems.
Complain about men bitterly enough, and lesbians are the only people who'll want you.
LOL!
First of all, I live in Florida, so unless I live like a sub topical tribesman walking around in loincloth in the mid to higher 90's and 95% humidity for five months. Believe you don't want to see that. I probably be comfortable, but my neighbors might take offense.
So as to not a sub tropical tribesman wannabe, I run an AC unit and several ceiling fans to keep the air moving
Plus the frig, dishwasher, oven, stove, water heater, microwave, pool filter
On the plus side, I don't have to buy heating oil or gas.
It's probably a wash cost wise in the end
