“Recently crowned Miss Cougar America at a Palo Alto, CA, cougar convention, Gloria Navarro is preparing to embark on a 4-day, 3-night cruise in December aimed at matching older women with younger men.
Navarro called the crowning a “new beginning” as she accepted the award. Navarro was married for 20 years before a divorce left her single and looking for someone new reports the San Francisco Chronicle. “I went from soccer mom with short hair, flat-heeled shoes and fanny packs to cougar,” she said. “I believe every woman has a cougar in them — someone who doesn’t need a man for anything other than companionship.”
Rich Gosse, chairman of the Society of Single Professionals, has been working to pack his Cougar Cruise with plenty of cougars as well as “cubs,” the young men who love them.

What a bunch of bullsh!t from Reid. He praises the ABA when they support ‘Rat nominees.
He slobbered all over the ABA for approving Sotomeyer. Now the hypocrite punk doesn’t like them.

You betcha we need a common sense approach! I’ll bet you’d be better than Ginsburg, and Sonia Maria Sotomayor!!!!
And therein lies a large part of the problem with the political system - too many lawyers and not enough businessmen.
We, in Mission Viejo, CA just recalled a tax and spend and corrupt lawyer and replaced him with a businessman.
No, but you made me look!
Lesser of two evals?
Reid is going by the old axiom, “Left shoe, meet right foot”
