I meany 'many' rather than 'much' in the second sentence@drunken marmot:

@NefariousNewt: Lincoln was a great man with human foibles. I truly think that had he not been killed, much of the racial problems would have been minimized. Why? Simply because the demonization of Southern White Democrats, along with a corrupt political mahine, led to the rise of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, etc that…

@NefariousNewt: The problem is quite simply, getting enough people involved to overthrow the power structure by means of the vote.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: I've been saying this for years- please do NOT confuse us old, socially liberal, fiscally conservative Republicans with the folks who started getting heavily involved around the time of Reagan.

I had the red jeans with the rainbow stretch belt. The belt is now probably somewhere in my mother's closet as she NEVER throws ANYTHING out.

As a Sox fan, I was tickled to see the Yankees lose. However, I try not to gloat. I remember the long lean years of the 80's and 90's...

@CollegeBookworm: Thanks for the link. We expect to be there Wednesday.

This explains why, when I am out with my best friend, we get looks.

Help a tourist out?

Fenway has been postponed until tomorrow.

We went to Cooperstown in 2005, right after the Sox had won the series.

Lisa Simpson, Mrs. Emma Peel, Jane Hathaway and Sally Rogers.

This reminds me of that old joke about "Bonanza" being about a 50 year old guy and his three 45 year old sons...

Hell's Kitchen, along with JJ, is my favorite TV show.

To me, a Brazilian wax is something that was probably done at Guantanamo...

That was my point, although I expressed it in a wishy washy way. People had contracts giving them bonuses and , whether or not we like it now, they are legally entitled to them.

A good explanation. However, remember when we were all screaming for the bailout a few months ago and it was rushed through Congress without any real debate because we had to save the country? Sadly, this is the result.

Love JJ- every afternoon, I sit down and watch her tear into some idiots. It makes my life seem well put together.

Just north of boston, by way of Maine.

@AbyrneShasse: I love marmots. And I can indulge my affection as we don't have a garden so they are not the enemy.
