Susan, I love those signs you reproduced on the last thread, especially, "I'm a girl. What's your superpower." Brilliant! Where do I buy the T-shirt? *grin*
I pity Melania too. I can't imagine a life more nauseating than having to be physically close (euphemism) with Cheetolini. She should have heeded the old French saying: "There are no pockets in a nightgown."
If you're serious it means don't marry for money because then you'll have to pay by sharing a bed with the guy. Seems like a pretty steep price in the case of Cheetolini.
And she has evidently been willing to be merely a stage prop and a chattel. I have seen no indication that she has any independent life skills to speak of. What a horrible imprisonment, and self-inflicted! Well, in a way they may be a good match--both seem to have significant defects of character and intelligence.
I strongly suspect that the Women's March is the sort of civil rights event I will remember, like the Woolworth lunch counter sit-in, the photos of the burned-out Freedom Riders bus, Freedom Summer, Bull Connor's use of fire engines (and dogs, if memory serves me well) on demonstrators in Birmingham, and the assault on marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge [that was a shocker because it was recorded (a new technology) and broadcast (also very new) in COLOR). In double-checking my recollection, I discovered that Edmund Pettus was the Grand Dragon of the Alabama Klu Klux Klan, among other things. Here's [Click] some stuff about the TV recordings. The photographs in Life Magazine were also very influential, reinforcing the effect of the TV news on the public.
I don't think I ever heard that one before, Cat! It's a dandy. People these days are often ignorant of many of the fine things Eleanor Roosevelt did on her own hook--she was not merely an appendage of FDR; indeed, she was arguably a good deal more progressive than he. [As memory serves me.]
We had dinner out tonight in honour of Mah*Sweetie's 5th Anniversary in his current job. Best part was that, due to a recent attaboy bonus, his employer paid for dinner! 😃 PLUS: In my little town: Winter Weather Advisory, from 7 PM Monday to 10 PM Tuesday: snow, sleet and freezing rain with winds to 40mph, something like 5-13" of messiness.
Sean Spicer reminds me of Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf.

Thanks, Alan. I heard bits about this all day but finally got the whole story here.
DeleteIt's going to be an *interesting* Administration, at very least. I prefer Aaron Sorken's world to theirs!
And they swallow it hook, line and sinker. At least Dad does. *sigh*

P.S.: The lead photo is a fine one; I respect and admire Michelle Obama. To tell the truth, I pity Melania Trump.

DeleteExcuse me, Susan--the meaning of the saying is obscure to me. A quick check of the Internet is not helpful.

I had forgotten this great quote by Eleanor Roosevelt:
ReplyDelete“A woman is like a tea bag… you never know how strong it is until you put it in hot water.”
I don't think I ever heard that one before, Cat! It's a dandy. People these days are often ignorant of many of the fine things Eleanor Roosevelt did on her own hook--she was not merely an appendage of FDR; indeed, she was arguably a good deal more progressive than he. [As memory serves me.]

If I'd had to choose between FDR and Eleanor, I'd choose her for President.
