Yes - I agree with you 110% -
...when she made the asinine statement that for the first time in her life, she was finally “proud of America” should have been a BIG RED FLAG - but of course the so called MSM once again swept it under the rug.
“I have the same opinion of my wife.”
You too? Of course, when I see guys like Joe Biden, I comfort myself by thinking my wife also could have done a lot worse.
thx. did not know these were available. will read through them.
Good luck. They are heavy slogging since they are rife with ridiculous errors and substandard English. It's hard to believe that any university, much less a prestigious institution like Princeton, would accept this work.
Thanks for the clarification--not sure I know who "Bite-me" is though.
You hit the nail on the head. That’s why I honestly don’t know why people put so much emphasis on beauty and perfect features, skin and bodies.
Just look at hollywood. They can’t get themselves fixed up any more perfectly with their botox and diets and workouts than they are doing and yet...with their $$$, homes, travels to far away and exotic places to vacation...they come back to the same old person when they look in the mirror. They should by this time know and realize that all the money in the world can’t make them perfect. Oh sure...outward beauty fixes but...inside they are who they are. Too bad they can’t be happy with how they were created. Instead, they bow down to what OTHER people think they should look like or be built like.
Most of their lives end up badly with drugs or other problems and in the long run guess what???? They STILL age like the rest of us and...I would think after all the plastic surgery and the botox when it wears off...God help them. It’s better to be who you are, age gracefully and be proud of the lines in your face. It means you have lived, laughed, cried and experienced life as it came at you and SURVIVED.
So, while there have been many beautiful First Ladies outwardly... Lady Bird Johnson’s light did shine through as you said and she was sweet and kind. I’d rather have someone say those words about me...sweet and kind...than GORGEOUS and FASHIONABLE but without inner light inside my heart and soul.
I think the same of First Lady Bess Truman as well. She was a wife and mother first and a gentle, kind soul who was also underrated. She reminds me of my mother and for that...I would admire Mrs. Truman 100%. A real mother who loved her family first and foremost and put them first and foremost but...then again...so did President Truman.
“Bite-me” is the term by which Genl. Stanley McChrystal’s staff referred to VP Biden. It was a major news story a few weeks ago, about a Rolling Stone interview of McChrystal and his staff that led ultimately to the end of McChrystal’s career as the top US military man in Afghanistan, and ultimately his early retirement.
Oh, that's right! BTW that reminds me, guess the rumor is that McChrystal actually voted for "O". So much for those who wanted him to run on the Republican ticket.
I had to try and explain why I LOATHE and DESPISE this creature as much as I do.
oh, it was public knowledge since the ‘08 election that McChrystal was one of those rare military officers who supported Obama. He may have seen the electoral writing on the wall and assumed it would be to his political advantage to be publicly in support of O. I think there is a push to have Petraeus run as a GOP candidate for POTUS. And that could be a good thing.
You did very well. A+
I believe it.
Ah-ha! Thanks again, wonder how he feels now.

As far as Petraeus, I think that's an interesting possibility. Don't know much about him other than his very impressive career, but heck that's certainly a good place to start!
Okay! it’s authoriTAY. Must’ve been my ancient Sony Trinitron. haha
good one!
