Ann Coulter Comes Out Swinging on the 'Today' Show

Rho ” Again with Ann C. ?” This whole comment section is about commenting on her … Elaine I looked at your lips and they didn’t move once. And darn that ann for starting that rumor about being banned, I was would be so happy if I cared. Conversations here can be informative if one takes the time to get their facts straight before responding. If your out to just have fun that o.k too but then be tolerant of the fact deprived. I saw that spot about FBI is good place to start to get a job in this recession, where are they getting their money from ?

What besides wine becomes better with age?

My armpits and leg hairs. There is hardly any thing there anymore to shave. Why couldn’t this process be reversed ?

Proposition 8 Battle Just The Beginning For Gay Marriage Rights

I live in California and I just took for granted it would pass. I saw the the commercials that were so misrepresenting the truth and once again I took for granted that people would see the them and dismiss them as trash. Hiding behind children, the black preacher ” How well effect my religion ? ” gads…. I truly dismissed the power these people had. The thing is it’s fear, it’s always fear that slows down the process of the natural development. Fear of color, fear of different, fear of out of our comfort zone, fear of unknown, fear of that lady down the street that that has unbelievable nose hairs wow. Please those who married for all the right reasons, don’t get caught up with in the fear of the pause of the inevitable, your rights well come back, evolution of the the idiots well happen. I have been at the protests here in L.A and the bouquet of people is a lovely arrangement of colors and lifestyles I felt no fear, heard words and pharses that might have been mumbled and shouted in 1776 ” We deserve the right of freedom and choice for all men and all women”.

Sarah Palin: 'I'm Sorry If I Cost John McCain Even One Vote, But Don't Give Me That Much Credit'

I wonder if McCain know things were not going to work out and picked someone for a short term happy hour. And then had a excuse for history to blame for his loss.. hmmmm.. of course that would require him to think ahead and that’s not his DNA. He is short in countless ways, height, memory, temper, advise, plans, outlook, sided. P.S Pegging you were very charming on Oprah today… with such common sense and intelligence it escapes me, why you voted moccasin or McCain. I well not miss typing in McCain and then have my spell check tell me it’s wrong you must mean “moccasin”, has that happened to everyone else ?. Oh well seeing you speak today Peggy I finally got it how everyone respects you, if you don’t mind I think I am a fan.

What will you miss the most about the presidential campaign? The least?

I’ll miss SNL Tina Fey’s erie so right on impression of Sarah Palin. She said to us to “Please put me out of this job” and a du Tina, but hopefully not to soon at least one more time. I well not miss the ugliness that came out through the churches doors. And the once locked chests hidden away since the heydays of of wearing sheets as a weekend attire . And I fear the next four years well bring more shaved heads and the ignorant children of racists raised to gather more frequently to make hate their light fueled by the bon fires that once were distinguished by law . The next years well bring unparalleled respect we lost in the worlds eyes these last eight years, but those eyes well also be looking at us once again to be the example, to be the leader, to be the hope that well repair bridges and bring the peace. Mr. President Obama has much to do, but first he should take a rest and then get a rescued puppy, and practice your waltzing with Michelle there’s going to be whole lot of dancing ahead.

Barack Hussein Obama Wins Historic Election; Will Become 44th President of The United States of America

YES WE CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I proudly where my button that say’s “RUN OBAMA RUN” I know then this man was not your ordinary man, he’s proven to be an extraordinary man !!!!!!

Final Voting: The wowOwow List of Women Who Are Changing the World

That Book being the : The New Testament of the Bible re- produced by Professor Pawn Sinha Printed in 2003 As the World’s most tiniest books, not much room to stand up in…. Really Ms. Duffy you are in some kind of Republican denial to believe this women as contributed anything except comic material. Even at best she lacks judgment in her appointees to her Cabinet back in Alaska and to have thought about her offer from McCain in the very beginning to think she was good enough for such a position was a clue of poor judgement. To truly know your not qualified for a certain position is a honest assessment of oneself and that person has my attention. I hope you understand this in a kind way.

Tom Brokaw: Every Day I Say Aloud, 'Timmy We Need to Talk'

Because he can. Mr. Brokaw is somewhat retired and choose to fill in for Tim Russel in this campaign out of respect for his dear friend. He owes you no explanation on any part of his private life or choices of where his own money goes and to whom it goes to, he is not running for anything because he’s smart.

Thomas Edison invented a workable electric light in his Edison, NJ, lab on this date in 1879. What is your brightest invention?

That’s so funny you would ask that.. really it’s gosh darn funny. When I have these epiphanies I call them (ask my boys ) “I HAVE A MULTIMILLION DOLLER IDEA !!!!!!” “Now what mom ?….geesh” Hey they all three have said that multimillion idea was silly.. but wait ..Do we not see in restaurants glasses they serve water in also is decorated with or in the glass MIRRORS !!!! so you can check your smile to see if don’t have spinach embedded between your incisors …yes ladies yes … !!! And then there’s your little traveling doggie IV’s so they don’t get dehydrated on the road…Thank you very much. —————— ✂———————✂———————✂———————-✂ So it’s no surprise to them, that I am on a budget. You can save these ideas and if you find a buyer you’ll know where to find me.

It's fall arts and culture season! What have you seen, read, experienced or heard lately that you'd like to recommend?

Make no mistake “when” I have a show.. I expect all of wowOwow to show.. hear that Whoopi, Candice, Ed Norton ( a older girl can dream )

Yes applause us, it’s not easy to actually make a living as an artist… And to be able to paint or design want we want… I don’t know about all you guys but I have a hunch from your posts Iris and Georgia ( which I’ll try to get back too : ) ) I don’t do paintings to fit in the buyers bedroom or as I say “over the couch paintings” if they by chase to be in the color range that’s fine… but I hope you buy it because you connect to it in some way. The Art world you would think would be very liberal very fair but they still have the stigma of a mans world. And that hits us in the old pocket like everyone else. I personally I am caught in a catch 22, can’t afford all my materials needs to paint to make a living, I do get alimony but even though I fought for the money to cover supply costs ( and he is an artist too ) to his lawyers it seem not to be a cost that he should have to pay for… I put on hold a few paintings over 28 years you would think like farmers who are paid not to plant certain things, as artist’s I should have been paid to not have the time to paint. I raised three in the arts men two graduated one from College, Pomona College with a Disney Scholarship, and UCSD Revelle with honers, and a student at Corden Bleu. This is the site where you can brag about your kids isn’t it ? Do men have these same concerns ? I think not. But here I am and if I am a true artist then I well find a way, we women are resourceful if not anything else. Iris I have tried to offer my help to some non-funded art programs one in particular in Pasadena that is run out of two nice trailers that moves to where they can stay free, and offer art classes to the kids in the neighborhood, doesn’t that sound so great. ! Art on wheels to go… Remember some of you in elementary school they used to have trunks come on the playground ..some had animals from say a farm so you would know were a egg comes from and milk is made ( it doesn’t come from a pig !)…..one truck had an elephant, snakes, boy !! they don’t do that anymore the PETA would string them up ( the people ). Imagine a traveling studio with a rotating artists to go to school to school. It makes me want to go out an buy a trailer and go ! Not just teaching art methods but the histories and the business side depending how old the are…. this sounds interesting as I am writing thoughts are just flowing out… a wow moment ! Talk among yourselves ❦

Searching for artists which I like to do on Sundays through Colleges, LA/Slant, Watercolorists, Exhibits in your area, Museums. I have met sooo many artists out their who have a-muse-ed me, sometimes we need a muse to get us going when we get stuck and are in idle. And yes the Art Gallery’s Shows are in full swing doors opened step in. All the work of months gets hung out like laundry. To be liked, awed or enlighten, euphorically moved, mad, digested, feared and motivated all is good, all instantaneous emotions to months of work. So to celebrate this colorful time, get out there support your local, art clubs, or fly to the Louvre. Experience the inner working of a creative mind, buy from the up and coming artist of tomorrow. Art should not be a fashion statement in one season out the next. It’s a dream capsulated with colors on a canvas, or shapes from the earths elements, craved, pasted, printed. It’s still….. it waves, sways, it turns on or wears out. It smells or leaves the stench of the past or the fragrance of dawn…… it’s touched softly or hands off .. It’s ART go see it, make it……

If you could give away one million dollars, what or who would you give it to?

I have to put myself first to be honest. Things have been lean to the point at times “…well I refill my prescription or right now go to the Dentist ?..” So I would pay all dents to my Lawyer for taking the most of my settlement at the end of a divorce. Pay the remainder of what owed to my husband for the house so I can stay, credit card were I first payed the down on the Lawyer. Fix up repairs on the house. Make sure my 87 year old Mom doesn’t have to ask anymore “Can I buy this ? Set up a budget. Then and only then well I consider what’s the best place for this money. Yes the Arts that has all but evaporated from the school system would be a goal. Art has been my life and always has been apart of many a decision in which road to take. And helping women who may need a boast to handle perhaps a life after a divorce, or a surgery when they don’t have insurance. I would try to keep it in Burbank, the shelters always needs help to repair their offices, refill there shelf’s the lines have been longer with people who were their just last year giving, it only takes one bad break or decision to have you standing in a line.

Have the debates changed your mind about the presidential candidates?

Sad to say but my studio’s walls … I know : ( and hall ) Yes, I might be losing the house there was a plan but the other party drop out and would you believe it, it was my Mom. It’s better in some ways we should not get money from family members there’s too much friction in settle ways that cause the littlest things to ignite. I Thank You for the stress relieve tips,the fist relaxing thing is interesting, I do hold my thump closed tight when “up”, my Dad did the same thing hmmmm… black prunes hmmmmmm…… they relax the intestines with me : ) Working outside the home is difficult in a health sort of way. I have some Galleries on hold till I have enough paintings for a show so that is something. Although buying art has slowed down, it is a good investment if you know what your doing, know your artist etc. Creativity does get a red light when stress is involved. It’s very difficult to paint when focused on economy or can I pay the taxes (which I just did because my x just gave me some money owed) but 2008 is just around the corner and well not have the money. I look for and like scheduled occurrences, the I feel safe as long it’s time to now eat, paint, sleep I took advantage of “safe” and of course you don’t see that till it’s gone, that can’t be good. So nice to meet you Ms. Dee for your patience and words. If ever I can do something for you, I’ll be there or here..: )

Have the debates changed your mind about the presidential candidates?

That’s the point I want you to resurrect money that my x received in a divorce !!! Who ever said that we divide 50/50 was it the lawyer who got 60% of what I got. ? : ) I well say I was married for 28 years he’s doing so fine, and I am in constant state of various degrees of stress, I hide with humor but I am not laughing when I am always losing sleep with worries of can I keep my house ? Can afford health insurance once the COBRA has run out, medicines out of pocket, house insurances, materials to paint it’s a catch 22 in my life. You just reminded me and I am not putting you on the spot , I relinquish you from all responsibility : ) I truly need someone to advise me, he did everything my second mistake. I am an Artist and sales ….. people are buying just the frames. I f anyone reading this who knows someone in Ca, in the area of Burbank I need help, and pay ? I well paint them a picture. I do watercolors and I am a Signature Member of both N.W.S and W.W. Should we start a Save Women Artists in your neighbor fund, they could be your neighbor , your friend . Oh I suppose of things get bad I well have to sell the house ( ya in this market ) but ladies as you know after 28 years and you finally have the kitchen of your dreams and the thought of you loosing it, is cruel and most unusual punishment. And your bathroom now is a place you want to go in… did that not sound right ? You know what I mean. I don’t want to stay because it’s collateral, I want to stay because for one I earned it, clean it, painted, watered, held it up, brought babies into it, conceived in it, put a new face on it, cried, smiled, danced, sang, waited till the cows came home all four of them safely in all one piece. I decoreated it for all seasons, and Birthdays, I stood by the window hours waiting for him to come back till someone made me lie down in it, alone. Oh that’s all for now. Aren’t you sorry you you answered ? But really it was at the right time I needed to vent, call out, which for some reason don’t, because Moms, Women she do it on there own, really ?
