I thought Pelosi might change a diaper on the podium just to prove she is in fact a mother, warm gushy maker of pies.<BR/><BR/>ick.<BR/><BR/>I will not vote for Hillary for any reason and that includes the fact that she is a woman. I resent these politicians who are female or black or whatever acting like I am supposed to vote for them because of what they are rather than who they are.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1167993903771722832007-01-05T03:45:00.000-07:002007-01-05T03:45:00.000-07:00ex-democrat—Mine, too.

That verse—voice and music—comes to mind with such force and clarity every once and awhile and with, it seems, greater frequency as the years pass.<BR/><BR/>Great place to fall in love.<BR/><BR/>andrewdb—<BR/><BR/>Just as long as that <B>one</B> wasn't played in '82. <BR/><BR/>buddy—<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>terrye—<BR/><BR/>Who knows. In a couple of years enough of your fellow Americans may vote for a woman to be President to make it so. And/Or they may vote in a Republican House majority at the same time. What we can be reasonably assured of is that we will have the opportunity to vote and that the winners will take office.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed watching the members and their families yesterday morning just as I enjoyed the same such orderly and peaceful transfer of power (then the Republicans were the majority party for the first time in my lifetime) on the same date twelve years ago.<BR/><BR/>Best.lonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329414340481290010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1167974026146767702007-01-04T22:13:00.000-07:002007-01-04T22:13:00.000-07:00nice writing, loner--interesting, very.nice writing, loner--interesting, very.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1167970515613639132007-01-04T21:15:00.000-07:002007-01-04T21:15:00.000-07:00I think I have missed one Big Game since I began a...I think I have missed one Big Game since I began at Cal in 1979.

Somehow that just takes something away from it.<BR/><BR/>Back in 76 there were down times to politics. The Anchoress talked about this today and I thought, this is a true. Politics has become a nonstop campaign. And that is not good.<BR/><BR/>Speaker Pelosi. sheesh. Identity politics is wearing thin.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.com
