What Elizabeth Edwards's Hairstylist Knows About John

It is such bull stuff, when women say what they would do when a man cheat…as with most matters of the heart! When men break our hearts, we don’t say that a man is like a bus and we’ll catch the next one coming. Instead we pathetically cry…bitch and moan… we lower ourselves down to the floor and grab him by the ankles to keep him from leaving…then once he makes his exit…we call him up under the pretense to be friends… like a frickin stalker…we head to the gym to tone up…buy new dresses…color our new hair do …not because we’re a brand new "us" but to make him jealous and hope that he will come to his senses and come back…women are such liars and manipulators! If truth be told, women stay. Men have indiscretions…they whore around…with women we know and even more with those we don’t know… most men are only as faithful as their options. An ugly man with no power…and money is probably getting off on the internet…because he can’t get a face-to-face encounter…if every woman left her cheater there would be no marraiges… most of the women that hang out here are too damn old…flaccid…and irrevelant to be in the situation to be left…when you get pass 40..you are invisible…even to the men who left your bed…or dreams of leaving…when he closes his eyes at night…so enough about Elizabeth…clean up your own mess!

John Updike's Funeral: Revelations of a Double Life

Are you basing that he’s not a good person on something you read…or you know for sure? 

Angelina Jolie's Bodyguard Plans an 'Explosive' Tell-All

JodieG take a prozac!  I bet you are the gossip queen of your neighborhood…spewing vicious stories about your happy neighbors…while your hubby sleep with his …happy hour acquaintance!!!!

Angelina Jolie's Bodyguard Plans an 'Explosive' Tell-All

Jen needs to devote her time to finding a love of her own!  Brad didn’t leave because of Angelina …he left because of Jen. He apparently wasn’t getting what he needed from her…and couldn’t give her what she needed. So why live a lie…Angelina seems to have a much more fulfilled life…so I would suggest that Jen don’t spend a precious moment of her valuable life gloating and basking in Angelina missteps… petty little women with petty little thoughts just make more of a petty little world…Jen think big…you’re a better than little teeny weeny deber b! 

An Appreciation of Our Sisters on 'The View' With an Introduction by Liz Smith

I watch the View…remorsefully. I sometimes enjoy the hot topics. I feel it’s like walking pass a window with the curtain pull back, you know you shouldn’t be peeping in but you do it anyway. I love the way Whoopi comes off philosophical when in essence the woman is obviously on medication. It is clear that she has some deep emotional stuff going-on. Joy Behar is mean and nasty…I don’t know if it’s menopausal or she’s just mean and nasty. She want a democrat to win so badly, that she’s literary leaning over to kiss Obama’s ass! Sherry is a poster child for abortions…as she so stated that she’s lost count of the number of her dilatation and extractions. . Elizabeth is young and idealistic…of course I’m on the opposite side of her political stance but you must admit the woman has spunk…she’s fighting hard against those old witches. I say give her time and she’ll find her way to the center. Bawa certainly have herself a motley crew! It is clear Bawa and her crew are liberals…and use the View to render as much support for Obama as one hour/five days a week can squeeze in.

Liz Smith Responds to Those Who Want to Tie Sarah Palin to the Stake, Setting Her Afire Before the Nov. 4 Election

Obama didn’t choose Hillary because he’s arrogrant! He wanted to punish her for showing the world he wasn’t her equal. I can’t stand the sob, and I’m a black woman! He has some of us manless women salivating and voting with our libido. This guy doesn’t have the experience and his change is to surround himself with Clinton’s old administration. Too bad America has lost its grace…its moral compass has succumb to pop art and pop stars. Our children as well as their parents are mannerless people with more attitude than critical thoughts. Daughters much like their mothers self-esteem and decision-making is fueled by Lexapro, Xanax, abilify, and resperdal, instead of doing things to make us proud. I’m appalled at the way women are attacking Palin. I do not agree with her on many issues. I want gun control because I have felt the affects of guns near and far…I do not agree with abortions, but believe it is a discussion that should be left between a woman and her God. I’m enjoying this election year because so much flava (aka flavor) has been added to the field of candidates. I never thought in my lifetime that a black man would be so close to the white house or a woman for that matter. And I never thought I would choose a green party candidate. Political campaigns are always nasty…even JFK was nasty (..his daddy passed around dead presidents like m&ms to get him elected). JFK was self-centered as Obama. What I like about Palin although she’s on the wrong side of my politics, she dares the average girl to dream. An average young woman with an average American background can use Palin as a road map to getting involved in politics without an ivy league education and affluent friends. We need the common man and woman representation in congress, as mayors and governors, and presidents. Men have had 44 shots at the presidency and we know now that male gonads, ivy league education, years in congress or as governors has not made us a peaceful and equitable nation. Women are not obsessed with abortions, we need someone to have our back and give us the tools and resources for better child care, and eldercare because we’re sandwich between our children and parents who need us. Our husbands need us to bring in a second paycheck; some of us are head of household. We need to be safe from predators, put them away and throw away the key for some because rape, and murder are unacceptable! We will get closer to a more perfect union when more women participate in legislating at all levels of government. And to ensure balance we need critical thinkers who are willing to look beyond their conservative, liberal and independent philosophy, and allow others to pray to God or not pray to God but use common sense and wisdom to ensure a more perfect union.

Whoopi Goldberg Reaches Out to Readers

BS! Whoopi overtalks Elizabeth and sometimes in a very condescending way. Elizabeth is just as young an idealistic as any young liberal woman. As Elizabeth matures and feel the sting from life’s turbulents, she will become more sagacious. And I’m no friend of Elizabeth…much toooooooooooo conservative for my existence to be considered relevant. But I like to listen to young people who are liberal, conservative and otherwise. Whoopi is not as well read as she tries to come off. She’s a favorite amongst whites because she is non-threatening and isn’t known to be entrenched in black culture (inspite of the locks). Obama multicultural family doesn’t give him a corner on the market of knowing the issues that affect others who are black, Asian or African immigrant. He has only lived as an African-American in the last 20 odd years. He lived in Indonesia as a child and could not have possibly analyze the culture and politics of that land at his young age. I have many militaryt brats as friends who traveled and lived in many countries from childhood to teen years who they think his touting his mix race and living abroad background as absurd! He never lived in Africa where day to day survival can be rough, having to go without clean drnking water or have his village raided by rebels and his sisters brutually rape. Although he married a black American, he has never walked in our shoes. In fact it seems his social and cultural experiences has been filtered through the lens of white privileged. He speaks of his grandfather military experience under General Patton well my grandfather served in a segregated army! My grandfather was denied access to jobs in and out of the military that only white soldiers could obtain. His grandmother without a college education (through hardwork of course) was able to rise to the position of a vice president of a bank whereas no matter how hard my grandmother and mother worked did not have the same opportunity. First he told the world he grew up with a grandmother who uses racial slurs and afraid of black men because of one incident at a bus stop. Now he praise her for shaping his life. It seems everything this man has done has been by designed. Why go to Chicago when he could have worked for a grassroot organization in New York? He saddled up to Reverend Wright whom I respect because of his outreach work in the southside community in Chicago. He wanted street credibility so he hungout there for twenty years until he got caught! Was he so in loved with Michelle or in love with what she had to offer with all her brilliance and connections. So he made $12,000 as year…my income wasn’t too much more of that in 1981. I don’t trust him… if he should become president…the sun will come up in the east just as it did with eight years of Bush; and we will continue to suffer either way because we did not select the most qualified candidate, Hillary.

Whoopi Goldberg Reaches Out to Readers

I agree, Whoopi is a comedian, not a great thinker. And she’s lazy! Obama lineage is not foreign policy experience. My children are of mixed heritage and lived in a foreign country, and don’t know a darn thang about foreign diplomacy! Foreign Policy experience is somewhat overrated seemingly Cheney, and Rumsfield were touted as experts! Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Reagan, and Bush had virtually no foreign policy experiences. Face it, foreign policy expertise is on-the-job training. Kennedy instigated a war, Johnson escalated a war, Truman dropped the atom bomb then got us into the Korean War. However, governors have more direct responsibilities when it comes to managing land, people and budgets. Obama raised money to fix the Chicago school system but like his community organizing, it fell flat as well. I’m not a McCain/Pailin supporter but it seems she has more hand-on experience at these type of task. It doesn’t matter the size of the town or state to assess the problem and seek resolutions. After all Chicago, Philly, DC, Detroit, LA are no role models for small town mayors. Oftentimes managers gain experience at small companies to prepare for their leadership duties at major corporations. We know for certain Whoopi, Joy, Elizabeth and most definitely air-headed steppin fetchit Sherri Shepherd has no foreign policy experience. Sherri thinks the world is flat…abandoned her special need child for a year in pursuit of a career at the View should not question anyone’s capabilities. Damn, how did she get that job anyway with all the experienced talented women (black, white, Asian, Latino, Native American) on the planet, what a waste? Whoopi’s daughter have three babies out of wedlock? Where was the feminist mother’s spiel on birth control? It is unfortunate that Hillary was eliminated as well as Kinnich. Perhaps we should have the primaries then let the convention be used to give us a second look at the candidates. Obama accusing Palin of no experience is like the kettle calling the skillet black. From a black woman who will vote green party.

Monica Crowley: Somewhere, Hillary Is Smiling

I’m going to do what white folks do, you speak as an authority on black people and urban issues, now I’m going to do the same about whites. Most of you have never driven through a black neighborhood with your windows up and your doors fastened. It seems to me that you who post here, as well as the media have barely stopped short of calling Sarah poor white trash! You act as if you are appalled by her real American family, blue collar dude, more than 2.5 family with a pregnant teen-age daughter. I’m still trying to decipher the intraracial code words for it…as you have a way of talking about race and black folks indirectly,too. I happen to like Palin…when I see her, there is the reflection of most women in this country, black, white, spanish and Native Americans. We really try hard to be good mothers and workers only to have our abilities questioned. If you’re not a member of the good ole White Women Club, you don’t get to climb up the corporate ladder or aspire to higher office unless you are a club member. I know you better than you know yourselves with your fake sisterhood… Nevertheless, I will not be voting for her…not because she’s a small town mayor or a first time governor or that her family is too much like mines. I will not be voting for a McCain/Palin ticket because the stakes are too high this time with two associate justices on the brink of retirement. That is important to me…I’m not worried about the economy because it’s cyclical; yes, money is tight but I’ve rode it out before. But, we need a supreme court that is balanced. I want to make history but grapple with the decision to vote for Obama…he is no more qualified to be president than the republican VP. I listened as a black woman last night on the bus convey to another rider that she feel bamboozled by Obama but need to vote for him to keep McCain out. I’m heavily leaning toward a protest vote toward Cynthia McKinney…Cynthia stood up to the mad men, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield but did not garner support from women groups because she wasn’t your kind of Negro! You dig on Michelle Obama because she’s ivy educated and do a great rendition of the type of blacks you can get behind because she’s non-threatening…she may misspeak but she won’t rock the boat…she’ll pretend to accept your liberalism than get behind doors with Barack and her close black friends and say those white witches are crazy!

Lesley Stahl Asks Pollster Dotty Lynch: How Much Can a Controversial VP Pick Hurt a Candidate?

So Dana Jae has any congresswomen, senators, at the state or federal level ever raise children while holding their post. Tell me what successful woman or man in middle level or upper management position ever worked a normal 40 hour work week…and let’s not talk about the female doctors, medics, firemen/women, police officers, swing shift workers…maybe we should not have women serving in Iraq if you feel that way…so lets not go there! Privileged white privileged women don’t know how the average working woman does anything!

Sheila Nevins: Why Palin Is a Great Choice

Maurine what a stupid remark! As my grandmother use to say…unless you are clairvoyant you have no idea what your children are doing…I’m sure you were just as sneaky as the rest of us at that age. Sarah Palin is an example of women all over the world…we do good by our children…we teach them our values but they have minds of their own. As with grown ass women…young girl get wooed it’s call human frailty! Unfortunately boys who impregnant us leave their mistakes in the streets and girls bring their’s home. It doesn’t make Sarah a bad mother. Some mothers encourage their daughters to have abortions. When I was growing up girls who got themselves in trouble were shipped off to relatives in a far away state to give birth and the child was reared by an aunt or grandmother (today we call them surrogates). When a young girl and boy get together with thoughts of love and feelings they may experiment with sex. For you to suggest because Sarah is a working mom that she is responsible for her daughter pregnancy, and you call yourself a feminist? Do we blame all working mothers who children become teen drug addicts…murderers…contract STDs? There are million of teen-age pregnancy right here in America. When they mistakes do we uplift them or brand them with scarlet letters!

Fired by Hillary Then Hired by Obama, Solis Doyle Speaking Out

What sickens me are the book deals…I never buy these books…or watch the made for tv movies. I’m sure she had to mess up a little bit…Once again another example of someone with connections allowed to rise to her highest level of incompetency!

Obama Is a Force of Nature

I loved the Edwards but don’t get how they could think that this information wouldn’t fall into the hands of a snoopy reporter!

Michelle Obama, Jill Biden Become Friends Fast

I wish them the best of luck. When the press start nibbling at their bones. Maybe Jill can teach Michelle to look less like a cat whose ready to attack! Jill appears bubbly whereas Michelle looks mean. Girlfriend tried to fake being pleased with the Clinton…there was definitely a softer looking face with a geniuine smile and pleasantry on Thursday. I was hoping Hillary would tell Michelle to kiss her ass!

Do you use antibacterial hand soap?

In an ideal world maybe but when moving about on public transportation and stores there are a host of germs you rather not take home with you. I commute on city buses that are crowded with homeless people, and sick folks who are sneezing into their hands and grabbing hold of the safety rails…a little squirt of gel will reduce the germs you carry around with you. I have actually watch riders wipe snot on the back of a seat. There’s a homeless man that I see nearly every day during my work week who carries a brown paper bag of ointments that he applies to his open wounds as he sit the bus shelter, or when riding the bus. MRSA and staph infections are pervasive in the public domain. Good handwashing is absolutely the best…but before putting that stick of gum in your mouth or snacking on that cookie during your commute, I would use a hand sanitizer for good measure.
