Original article: "Blitz massage," revisited

Smiled?!?

"Grimaced" is the best word I can come up with to describe Merkel's expression--certainly not a good-touch smile. She should put the handsy SOB on notice.

Original article: This woman's work

This woman...anon??

Anon demonstrates the no-win situation in which women often find themselves. She chides "feminists" for "constantly" having put motherhood down...oka-a-ay. I don't buy this notion but she's entitled to her bias. And in the next breath Anon berates Pelosi for droning on about her kids, accusing her of using the reality of her motherhood as a "blatant ploy to manipulate female voters." Sheesh! Help me out...just what is 'the answer,'Anon?

Original article: "The Perfect Holiday"

Black audience movie?!

Here I am in 90%-ecru (no one is really "white" you know!) Iowa and the movie my office mates & I are going to see tonight is "The Perfect Holiday" because 1) it's the holiday season, 2) we're looking for a 'happy' movie and, 3) no one told all of us ecru-Americans that this was a movie for only a black audience.

You know, whether it's politics, movies or whatever else, I think the people with their 'feet on the ground' are way ahead of some of the political pundit & writer class. Ms. Zacharek blew it with this limiting review.
