“Every right-thinking heterosexual or gay person who can see and hear is in love with Rachel Maddow. She is so enormously eloquent, entertaining, educated and good-looking that it's no wonder that the corporate right-wing jerks who rule the media don't dare give her free rein and her own show.”

“Anyone who watched "John Adams" on HBO will understand what it means that we should be a nation of laws. The law is the law, and a pre-nup is a legal, lawful document.

It's sad to see someone as attractive and successful as Christie Brinkl”

“My husband tells me that until today's ruling, no resident of WAshington, DC, had the right to carry a handgun. Yet is my understanding that the crime rate is very high in Washington, DC and I assume there are a lot of would-be crooks running around with handguns in our nation's capital.

Since it's a well-known fact that the average (non-criminal) citizens know nothing about how to use a handgun, it seems like a very good time to start opening up shooting ranges with ex-military experts to teach all of us use a gun and protect ourselves.”

“I think there is only one thing one thing to say to someone going through a divorce: "You know, no matter how good the outcome will probably be, there's still nothing as painful as a divorce." Just let them know how much you appreciate how much they are hurting.”

“Whatever happened to "moderation" when it comes to the question of heel height?

If I am exercising or walking a long distance, I wear running shoes or flats.

If I'm going to the office on an ordinary day, I wear classy little mid-heel pumps.

If I'm going out on the town, depending on the climate and location, I put on my "floozy shoes" --high stillleto sandals or pumps. If the evening involves dancing, I try to wear sexy shoes that have been a bit broken in.

I have no bunions, corns, blisters, crooked toes or other foot problems, I also like to go barefoot around the house, or "sockfoot" if it's chilly.

My doctor, my pedicurist and my husband all say my feet are pretty and in great shape. So girls, go for it and just wear what's right for the occasion!! We should neither be slaves to fashion or foot health.”

“I do feel sorry for Hillary, but not enough to vote for her. She's just one of millions of women who have put up with an unfaithful hubby.

No one seems to be asking this question: "If a sitting President's wife had sex with a male intern in the Oval Office, what would you expect him to do when it became public?"

I think we all know the answer: the President would kick her butt out of the White House and the nation would applaud his outrage and the ensuing divorce.

Let's go back a few more years, when Gary Hart got busted for his little getaway with Donna Rice (I think that was her name.) When they had the press conference where Mrs.Hart "stood by her man" I thought I would throw up.

Why didn't Hillary and Mrs. Hart both stand up to the microphone and say: "Any man who could betray me could betray the nation, by all means never even think of voting for him again."

Oh, I forgot---Jackie Kennedy could have done the same thing, except she was fooling around too. Also, the press never ratted on her husband so it was a "private" matter.

What a bunch of baloney this all is. Never feel sorry for a woman who is so insecure or hungry for wealth and/or power that she stays with a husband who fools around.

Especially one who thinks she's strong enough to be President.

I would bet about a million bucks that Michelle Obama would kick Barack's ass to the moon if he fooled around on her!!”

“My mother is 99 and takes 4 aspirin every day (2 in the morning, 2 at night.) Her health is remarkable.

Needless to say, I am following in her footsteps and do the same thing. I don't want to advertise any particular brand, but Bufferin is supposed to be easier on the stomach so that's what we take.

Aspirin has often been called a "miracle" drug and I wonder why it hasn't been the subject of extensive studies. Probably because it's so cheap, no drug company wants to spend money to study it.

Speaking of studies that have not been done and wondering why they haven't been done:

--Studies of families that have never had cancer. There must be a reason, perhaps one that can be translated into an anti-cancer treatment.

--Studies of people who for no known reason, suddenly became well. My grandmother's best friend had such bad cancer that it was inoperable, so she took her money and went on a six-month tour of Europe. When she came home, she was cancer-free and lived beyond 100.

--Studies of people who don't "catch" a disease that is afflicting a community. What is it about them or what they are doing that makes them immune? There were people who never got the bubonic plague and I bet there are people who never get AIDS, even though they are exposed to it.

--Studies of people who grew up with the worst possible parents, environment and education who on their own, "got over it" and became well off.

I could go on and on but I guess what I'm trying to say is that we ought to study people who are healthy physically and mentally as carefully as we study ill people.”

“It is so true that dreading doing something, whether it's exercising, cleaning the closet, or whatever, is twenty times harder than actually doing it.

I am over 60 and I still have to kick myself in the butt to get started on any worthwhile or necessary thing.

But as you say, getting started is all it takes.”

“I would like to invite the following people (some no longer with us except in spirit):

--Robert Redford because he has managed to do a lot of good in the world and yet keep his personal life fairly private

--Bette Davis just because she is such a hoot, we will be laughing too hard to eat

--Henry Fonda as long as he acts like he did in "It's a Wonderful Life."

--Meryl Streep for a touch of class (but I bet she helps with the dishes.)

I would also like to invite Tom Hanks because I think he is the greatest actor in the world but I don't want to spoil his family dinner by making him go to some stranger's house.”
