But I can tell you this, long gray hair looks really odd, unless you’re a witch.

I saw one of those in the library yesterday. She had to be seventy, but thought she was still at Woodstock.
Ann turns fifty on Dec 8, this year. Perhaps her dark roots are fake too, and she is entirely gray.
When I read this, Kabar, I’m reminded that we are so screwed under the present economic regime the government has created for us.
The only way to fix this is to massively cut regulations, and yes, taxes, especially for small business and individuals and let the economy grow. If the economy takes off, then overall revenues would take off. If overall revenues take off and we have a BBA then maybe we can start paying medical costs and living expenses for our growing elderly.
The only answer is to put people back t work earning a paycheck, making more money, and thus paying back into the system: Increased Social Security and Medicare payments by working folks will have a profound effect on your numbers.
More revenue is not the problem. Spending is the problem and the only way we can change that is to reform the entitlement programs. They are the drivers of our debt. Obamacare will add 18 million more to Medicaid.
Mack penny is a simplistic solution to a complex problem. The entitlement and means tested welfare programs must be reformed or we will never be able to climb out of this hole.
But what about McCain, he's not a candidate for anything. Can't we continue to make gratuitous, derogatory and uncalled for remarks about the reach-across b@$+@rd?
Yup, but I liked her graciously dismissive demeanor and acceptance.
One thing we're seeing for sure, despite decades of "women's lib"...People don't like it when guy picks on the goil.
(See: Wallace, Pawlenty)
No not exactly, but rather because his father is not any category of US citizen, neither natural nor naturalized.
Chris Wallace really seems to take a beating when he asks questions. But he is asking the GOP/Tea Party candidates hard questions that they are going to be asked them by the Liberal Press later on and also will be asked of them in the National Debates. I think this is excellent training for them. Wallace seems to give them time to answer his questions, which the Liberal Press does not.
I’ve even heard Wallace offer Michelle Bachman a second apology in offending her the last time he interviewed her. Can you name another newsperson who has stepped forward and done that? Did anyone catch her interview with David Gregory on Meet the Press this morning when he went after her religious beliefs? To me, that crossed the line into being offensive! Chris Wallace is good for these candidates. Beating Obama is not going to be a walk in the park and for the supporters of the GOP/Tea Party to start sniping at Wallace for the questions he asks is not beneficial to our cause. Let him ask the hard questions and let them learn how to answer them!
To begin with anyone under 55 on a sliding scale of sorts would get medicare/socha security beginning at 66,two years later 67 two years later 68 so on and so on to 72. Even then there will have to be adjustments.
I hate to even bring it up and its not fair at all but means testing might even have to be considered depending on how much of the regimes destruction we can kill. The bitterest pill to swallow is that the dems will never change. They will purposely sink the ship rather than fix things. We are the only one who care about the country. They are simply invested in power and socialism. They know that we will fix the problem they have created and then they can demagogue us. It's a brutal game they play and we have little if any choice but to be the responsible adults in the family of the U.S. if it is to be saved.
Why else would she go on his show? She was everywhere on the talk shows this morning as the Iowa straw poll winner.
Otherwise, Wallace is an obvious Romneybot and country club elitist.
OBVIOUS.
Some day someone will go around with a DNA kit and solve all these questions once and for all. Until then....we guess.
I agree with you. I saw the interview and David Gregory came off looking, as he usually does, as a cheerleader for the Left. I swear that “Meet the Press” should have a warning label on it like a pack of cigarettes: “This is a Left Leaning Show and will only permit answers that benefit our cause. In order to not be offended if you are a Conservative, please turn your channel”. It’d be nice if they just ran it at the bottom of the screen, so if you are channel surfing you know what to expect at all times.
I think Rush is the only 3-hour person who doesn’t have guests or even sidekicks, except maybe for the unheard Bo Snerdly. He is truly amazing.
” Why else would she go on his show? She was everywhere on the talk shows this morning as the Iowa straw poll winner.

OBVIOUS.”
You are missing my point. Every interview these GOP/Tea Party Candidates do is a learning experience for them to prepare them for the National Debates when the Far Left loonies are going to really go for their throats. Let Chris Wallace ask as many hard questions as he wants, the questions from here on out are not going to get easier! Whoever runs against Obama has to be prepared when the only major network who will publish the GOP/Tea Party platforms is Fox News.
He knows that board men,producers,call screeners are all wannabees. They all think they can do the show better than you do.
That's why you will never hear snerdly on the air. He's a background guy probably well paid and Rush knows the pitfalls of making too good of on air "friends" with the wannabes.
Beck gets bit by staff on air all the time, loses control of his show as does Bennett from time to time and many of the rest.
If you are on your game and now your job well you will always chose to work alone. Levin knows the drill as well. You can tell. (He's a good friend of Rush as well), He has respect for the background/staff guys but keeps them off the air.
Agreed, but I especially like that she didn't try to hide behind her own skirt and play the injured little woman like Hitlery. She stood up for herself and fought back when she was attacked and her attacker is now gone and she's still there.
It disgusted me to watch HRC brag about being as tough as any man and then play injured damsel when anyone stood up to her during her run for the senate.
