The Palin Book, as Dear Margo Sees It

Carol…."ooooh, Brer Fox" (no pun intended..) "pleeease don’t throw me in that briar patch…!" —-Brer Rabbit

The Palin Book, as Dear Margo Sees It

Hi TG…gosh…I don’t know if you are making my point or missing it….some of each, I think…! I am not at all surprised by the number of highly successful people who have not gone to high school, much less Harvard….and I know some pretty dreamy academics who live in a narrow world of their own making…Maybe I’m finding "educated" "highly educated" "limited education" "more intelligent" "elitist" "real world", etc…sort of tricky. Again, I want my plumber to be an intelligent, highly educated,experienced, elitist academic from the real world school of plumbing….We all know dopey/brainy people. We all know brilliant/ordinary people. I guess my post was meant to be about "each to his/her own best"…. without labeling or buzz words… 

Political Cover Stars? Spare Me! by Mr. wOw

Hey phyllis…prickly’s good…crass is good, too…I’m voting for "tacky"… such a grand broad spectrum epithet…

The Palin Book, as Dear Margo Sees It

Hi Maureen, I still contend that bashing the "elite" is tantamount to being "pro-ignurnt"….A crummy mindset to foist on our kids and grandkids…Who doesn’t wish for a child the very best…and if it’s best at the community vocational school…great….and if it’s Harvard…great…..each to one’s personal best….I want my plumber to be a member of the plumbing elite…don’t we all?

Mac w…and…what are they called?  "witch doctors"?

And casting out demons is not a sort of rad activity?

Liz Smith: Jane Wagner and Lily Tomlin in Las Vegas – Betting on 'Not Playing With a Full Deck!'

Hi Mac (and I use the term advisedly because I am so techno-challenged with mine…. my mac….) I have this sort of a Southern (southern) story about something I heard Lily say……once…I don’t know where or why….I heard it…..it was an interview or a  something…..and I couldn’t have made this up if I tried……

She (LT) said her grandmother taught her how to go "uptown"…..and when one was going to go to a restaurant, or anywhere, one dipped into her pockabook and blew her nose before she (one) went there…..ducking into an alley…to blow one’s nose…….

This is kinda a Paducah story…that’s what I remember….home of the Cobb Salad….and the ‘37 Flood…….and LT and maybe MP….Paducah…..and maybe Jane is also a southerner(Southerner) 

Her Grandmother also said that….ladies don’t have to scramble and fish into their purses……if there is a   need for it, one dips into it and fishes out a hanky or a Tangee lipstick or a Midol……..in semi-private…… You just keep talking with your luncheon companion and dip into your bag for a hanky….I didn’t make this up…I heard LT say this………and I’ve always thought it was great advice…..and don’t put bananas in the fridge and always wear very very clean underwear in case you are in a car wreck and your parents  cant identify you …..and…and….

Hello, Liza D and all y’all…… this is the truth……from the boondocks of the mind

Brittle Obama Thrashes Wall Street: All Form, No Substance, by Liz Peek

Gee, Phyllis…Do you think they had something in 55 B.C. called Factus Checkus?

In Defense of My Favorite 'Sick Puppy' – Rachel Maddow, by Mr. wOw

Hi Helen…yes…my anklets are now knee highs….another thing I love about Dr. Maddow is her laugh….and the childlike delight in human foibles..including her own. The PhD is fine and dandy, of course, but her  native curiosity and sense of wonder (some might call it "adolescent fawning") are perfect creds to me. Total aside: an educator in the 70’s said, "Give every student the degree they want on the first day of freshman year…the ones who want to learn will stay…"

I know this is not about Beck, et. al., really, but things have a way of sliding on/off topic…and it’s really hard not to draw what might be an odious comparison…can’t help it…When he hit my radar, it sort of went from jaw-dropping disbelief to something akin to fury (when he started in on the art in Rockefeller Center) to numb horror…..to…..oh,……(Ba-romp-bomp….)… I get it…..this guy is a hoot!

Makes me want to see what’s next for him…..channeling Che G through the fillings in my molars? News at eleven…

In Defense of My Favorite 'Sick Puppy' – Rachel Maddow, by Mr. wOw

Dear gg….Dittoheads tend to be anathematized, huh? How ‘bout if I just send a heartfelt "bingo!" to you ?

In Defense of My Favorite 'Sick Puppy' – Rachel Maddow, by Mr. wOw

Hi z…might just be plain ol’ fear…old white guys backed into a corner heretofore reserved for the "other"

In Defense of My Favorite 'Sick Puppy' – Rachel Maddow, by Mr. wOw

Dear Helen…I am an unabashed fan of Dr. Maddow’s….This will come as no surprise to some folks. Speaking of humor….seems that when you’re mongering epic fear and doom, it’s hard to feel jokey-fenokey about anything….hard to giggle when one’s panties are in a perpetual wad…lemon-sucking demeanor…..So I think your observations are funny…Here’s one for you….turn on Hannity with the sound off….and while you have a quiet moment, look up "lowbrow" in the dictionary.
