WHAT YOU FORGOT

YOU FORGOT they are aso: Avaristic, demoniac, homocidal, anal retentive, insecure, bullies and cowards.

I moderated the above for audiences of all ages and religions.

Rove/Leahy

Tim:

Professor Emeritus Pete Bagnolo, here. I write for opednews.com among others and have been closely following the Rove saga. Leahy appears, like the rest of those in which we voters and writers put our faith, to be all talk and no action. Were, I Rove (God forbid!) I would pay more attention to flies, gnats and mosquitoes than to Leahy and the Democrats, who have shown their true colors in congress since 1st week of November. I worked for JFK as a kid right out of college in my Hometown of Oak Park Illinois, but after Viet Nam became cautious about whom I supported, now I am going to be a full-fledged independent. Now, I no longer want Bush/Cheney impeached because that would give us Dem-traitor Nancy Pelosi as president and not even Satan wants that. Until Leahy shows us an Indictment, his rants about Rove or anyone else are meaningless.

What a ...

What a lame try at waxing poetic and a lamer answer. The woman asked a lame question, true, but she deserves a less than insensitive answer. Why, courtesy, which is the very thing I am not showing a colleague at this moment. It is obvious that the attendees are stuck in a pagan tradition, which seems to indicate insensitivity. That a lone female is attending, is even more interesting because it may mean someone will be trolling. Will it be her, with a panoply of males from which to choose, or is it the "Groom" who has plans for her after the party, or, and here is the point of the letter to Mr. Tennis, unconscious though it may be, will it be the writer's husband.

Dump the attempt at waxing poetic, Cary, this is simple, she is concerned that someone may get laid after the party and she wants reassurance, impossible to give, that it will not be her mate. Maybe the female guest is an orgasmic machine and that worries wives. She is entitled to... what? With the odds in favor of anyone of them or none of them, her worries, unless her husband is the stud of the vacuous litter, are unwarranted. That would be my answer to her.

We broke up after four years -- but he moved on so fast! Your answer

And now, Cary Tennis, finally, you have answered in the way we knew you could, with powerful advice, succinctly written and exactly right on target! These are fellow humans who write in with problems and getting right to the point is empathetic and respectful. Great advice for this female who is obviously hurting and needed to hear the hard and honest realties, firmly driven home.

Good work!

You are right on

The media ignored the Mafia, drug hit intended for OJ's wife's friend who was a look alike for Nicole S. (from a distance) and was in big money/drug trouble.

The OJ 2 trial was an example of racial vengeance for his having dared sleep with white women. He was attacked by a small but in-group of feminist Nazi's who have brought shame upon a movement once respected.

This latest mess is a result of his being hounded by a bigoted, sick family who are trying to make his life miserable based on their racial hatred of the man. Nicole's father is a perfect example of how not to parent and is now making a living being an A--hole.

Good Call Kingo Buddy!

Good Call!

Winters should be severely disciplined. There is no such infallibility granted by the Almighty to umpires. They singled MB out and both Umps were trying to provoke him. I live in Chicago-a Cub and Yankee fan so I have little interest in MB’s team, but justice should be preserved, they went after him in a fit of hypocritical self-righteousness.

I think we have all had our bellies full of false piety, and apparent racism, and baiting someone we know to be volatile. That is wrong, wring, wrong and I am in complete agreement with you on this one. He may have the name of the great toy company, but he is just a man with troubles like most of us, and he should have his day in court as well, and his over zealous mgr/coach should have been a bit less physical besides. I watched the game not just the carefully edited U-Tube play recording. They went after MB and they deserve to be punished, fined, suspended demoted as if they were players having done the same thing. It is a mark of evil to provoke troubled people, it reminds me of of the insensitivity of the Hun. I read all the blind-as-bats racists who saw only the edited film clip and condemning the wrong man.
