    "21.9 percent of the Hispanic population was living below the poverty line in 2004 according to a U.S. census survey" ... thought it was about sacrificing financial security for cultural traditions, as well as the exploitation of Hispanics by creeps like Will Cain. I'm from Texas, too (don't run into a lot of affluent Dominicans in my neighboorhood, however) and the best quinceañera expenditure I ever saw was a young lady's choice to have a car, rather than a party.

    Retroculturation. Right.

    Can we talk about their coats for a minute? So, so smooooth and shiny. A wonder that Vick didn't use them as upholstery, but, maybe he did -- that, and so much more. I don't want to know.

    "it's similarly more plausible that instead of 911 being what it appeared to be, the only credible explanation one can arrive at is that it's the deepest darkest plot ever engineered on mankind . . . ."

    would like to see the % increase of conspiracy theorists among the otherwise sane since 01-20-2001.

    The right-to-lifers' tone regarding this embarrassing family drama is so celebratory ... they should fly out that teenage pregnancy pact posse from Gloucester.

    "the request reveals either she was using the power of her office far beyond its mandate, or she was woefully unaware of the mandate she was given"

    "I’d say she’s a lot like W – clueless and damn proud of it, not about to let mere laws and good sense get in the way of whatever she happens to want."

    AND THEY LOVED IT!! that the ugly vibe in the crowd's MAD response to her smug, mean drone -- literally sickening to me. those people looked like the geriatric cult from rosemary's baby.

    stop them. get out the vote.

    There are so many reasons to reject her. BTW, switched my McCain vote to Obama because of this grievous misstep, or maybe, it was a reminder. John McCain is a (really old) Republican. I'm awake now.
