So she claims simply acknowledging someone’s family name takes dignity away from women.

Embarrassingly ignorant. Democrat, I’m sure.

Look up Ft. Wayne and the history of Mayor Harry Baals.

They renamed ‘Harry Baals Drive’ to ‘H W Baals Drive” because the signs kept getting stolen.

If there is one thing Massachusetts politicians know about, it’s general hooker entrances.

It’s not about women. The prostitutes in the Massachusetts legislature are mostly men.

In Michigan, there is Exit 69 off Big Beaver Road. A search on Bing shows a Facebook link of a smiling woman photographed near the sign. That would cause this Massachusetts politician’s head to explode.

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

It is ignorant [inappropriate word] such as Ms. DuBois who are going to ensure that the United States ends up fighting Civil War II.

I know a lady named Gay Reimers. I sure hope she isn’t on FR. Great lady, just an odd name.

“These people are pathetically ignorant.”

You are being generous in your assessment of their ignorance.

When I was young if you thought like this silly minded lady you would be told you had your mind in the gutter. I guess she's on par with these two.

Hey Beavis, she said Hooker.
