who uses a psuedonym to call someone who doesn't a coward is clearly projecting.
Just a quick note on what themes and recurring issues I have observed on Disney over the past 20 years of being a mother to daughters:
1) Dead, missing, or otherwise non-existent biological mothers
2) Evil substitute (step- or proxy) mothers
3) Pervasive occult themes (not merely "magic", but paranormal, ESP, psychic abilities, supernatural powers, etc.)
4) Distant, negligent, obtuse fathers
5) The need to become a-sexual (or switch sex, or become another person, etc.)
6) Over-sexualized adolescent body types and merchandise.
It's the ultimate mind-fark for little girls. My recommendation to all parents of young girls is to read the somewhat dated but still very relevant Reviving Ophelia.
I particularly recommend it to our young male poster whose girlfriends want him to call them "Princess."
Someone should write a dissertation on Disney analyzing the disturbing themes above.
Go back and read the bolded parts. Even as a little girl, I knew there were things of value besides my father's business successes. I'd like to think I was not particularly exceptional in that.
Please don't enable my intellectual wankery by responding to this.
Allowing you to have the last word? Also not something I was exceptionally good at. ;-}
You need better girlfriends, sir!
I didn't think it would do much good for me to say that. ;-}
Sarah!
Is that you?

You hardly ever post. Why? I read you as if you a war-vet from purgatory.
I read the second from last page of your comments. You attend to geezers.
I mean: `You write substance. You are Not a frail one who scrapes barnacles.
I's saw you @ a 'Blockbuster' store? You rented those stories of grave remorse?
Was it you? @ Grand children of Auschwitz... telling about `Nam + Purgations?
If you post more, a world will be better off. You fishing all the time for halibut?
You never a whining whiskered catfish. You are a stinky oncologist with a heart.
If you brood about a 'C' in a fishy culinary French... beware of all thee whine puppies.
Jim Montague? IF you ever want a frozen carrot cake, stop over, and facilitate geezers.
I'm gone to be late once again.
I attend Veteran Geezer Group.
Monster can walk holing hands.
Jim Montague:`Cookie Monster.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Been quite successful (as I measure it, that is) equipped as is.
Appreciate the offer, but tripods fall down when they lose a leg, don't they?
I understand that Jeb Bush is considering running for Senate in Florida.
Pedinska and old Jim Montague?
Cookie monsters holding hands,
and each as happy as 2-beagles.
O VA gown for Pedinska + Jim M.
O, they are free. No resell gowns.
It's illegal. O, hug a shaggy mutt.
I'm so in trouble. No read @ UT's.
Lets breed them out! prima nocta? In my little county if your name is not *********** you can forget about any public office anyway. This is because approximately 79.3% of the entire population are ***********s.
Although I am not a *********** my first wife (/7.) was, and, even then, we were third cousins, once removed. Which is about as far apart, genetically speaking, as you can get there. You see what I'm getting at - a very limited gene pool.
So I loaded up the truck and moved away from there. ... Movie stars, swimming pools!
My point, Glenn, is that it seems to me the number one cause of nepotism (w/ all due respect to all the star-quality comments here) is more a static-declining, highly insular, mostly ignorant (which is not to say stupid), poverty-stricken population ... or else rich as *rockefeller*?
...thought you should know.
bah.
ps. ~To whom it may concern: I like a little levity to wash down the hard-headed truth as much as the next person ... but you people are getting out-of-hand entirely.
Anyone who uses a pseudonym to call someone who doesn't a coward...
There's a LOL punchline in there somewhere, now out with it!
This is why in the early days I favored Obama over HRC, the latter being from my home town.
Yes, I know about the Bushes. If Jeb runs in Florida again I will contribute much more to his opponent than I did to Obama.
In an attempt to avoid the traditional Thanksgiving food fight between the liberal and wing nut branches of my family, I took off for a vacation in Hawaii, and I am now back rested, and anxious to catch up on my reading.
I had a really good trip this time, and was able to obtain permits to spend several days exploring the Na Pali coast of Kauai, where they filmed King Kong and Jurassic Park, and spent a couple days on the "forbidden isle" of Niihau, where only native Hawaiians are allowed to live. Unfortunately for the native Hawaiians, economic conditions now force them to allow tourists for short stays, but it was very nice.
My next trip(not sure when), will be through the Panama Canal and up through the Caribbean, and if I get close enough, I'll take you up on that carrot cake.
How did I get a majority out of 46%?
Hmmm. Perhaps if you read my comment in context with the other comments in that post, you will understand. In short, it is because many of the blacks and hispanics who voted for Mr Obama voted against the gay marriage proposals and many hunters who voted for Mr Obama are very much opposed to gun control, and, well, etc. If you consider the 46% who voted against Obama and add in those who voted for him but hold conservative views on gay marriage, abortion, gun control, the military, taxes, etc., you almost certainly arrive at a figure of well over 50% (a majority) who are basically conservative.
Perhaps when liberals start identifying themselves in public as such (as we conservatives do) rather than hide behind the moderate or independent label, there will be evidence that that American people are not, basically, conservative.

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
