Whoa…Kaaren…Are we watching the same show??? Whoopie seems to be very moderate compared to Rosie who I like but she was really out there. To each his own. If you ask 100 people you’ll have 100 different views.

Kitty, You are giving blanket/assumed benefit of the doubt to ‘professionals’ that is misplaced. They are no different than the general population…..no special set of extraordinary insights or genes, plenty of nuts and flakes. All one needs to do is read his highly abusive posts to understand what he is….to excuse his behavior as conducting an experiment is ridiculous.

Barbara, Brava for your determination and for getting the misogynists to pay for your MBA!!

Brad you’ve touched a nerve!

I think Brad should put together a free ‘landing page’ via Blogger, Paypal, and a gmail account, and google ADsense. He should read problogger and the other blogger dedicated sites on Technorati.com’s 100 Top Blogs…see far right hand corner. AND take 350-500 word excerpts from his booklet (?) if am describing that correctly, and post these to article directories like ezinearticles.com next look in his area on meetup.com for Web 2.0 tech groups for SEO marketing info (which can also find on problogger.com) post link to site on related Yahoo groups….put out press release on prweb.com……write a short article and email to newpaper letters to editor with link see Fair.org activism media links. Most importantly, I think Brad is well meaning and sincere but he needs to think in terms of what is appealing to others and why and not what he wants them to hear. ie “You love your daughter. You’d do anything for her. You want the best for her. Do you know that….?’ just a few thoughts off top of head….I don’t have a daughter but do know its a big topic that Oprah has featured. Good Luck…..and my thought is….why are girls so ready, it appears, to do this today as if it is causal and no big deal??? THAT’s the question I do not understand.

Josie, Amy Goodman, Phil Donahue two of the best.

Mrs. Miniver—Agree re Edward R. Morrow, Charles Collingwood and others of that era and ilk. SOME men here are bonafide jerk-offs…not all. Frank, Mark, Dan and a few others are very nice.

Kris, agreed, Joe-Baby toughen up! Stay!!

Bonnie, Harry Reid is going to press the superdelegates to declare….presumably to end death to the Demos by a 1,000 cuts…..

Oh, Ye of Few Pointed Words…….

Gee, Kay, wonders never cease, we agree on something!

Applause Maureen…for you and your great dog!!

I don’t like Matthews but anyone is better than Bill “I have sex with falafel” O’Reilly. http://www.boingboing.net/2004/10/13/fox-news-producer-su.html He’s a creep-a-zoid to end all creep-a-zoids.

Well, Ginny, not each of us is “Lock and Load” Jesus freaks….so you’ll just have to endure…as we do.

Ole Crone- Have you ever questioned why you are such a contrarian? I’m not asking that as a put-down but as a real question. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be a contrarian…better than that than to be too willing to accept everything. I read many of your posts-obviously you are intelligent and a good writer…if somewhat removed geographically at least from the mainstream. But really, must you always be contrary? On balance can’t you find something affirmative to say….or did I just miss those posts? Just a thought. I’d really like to know what you approve of for once. Remembering that not all of us live outside urban areas…in fact most of the population is concentrated along the coasts. Personally, I have travelled literally everywhere around this country and cannot be in the interior for longer than a few days….terribly claustrophic..and have also noticed how the thinking can reflect that land-locked feeling too.
