“Back in "the old days" the 1950's before we new about all the x-rays and stuff spewed out by the cathode ray tubes, we kids used to sit about a foot from the TV. As a matter of fact, there was a TV show that encouraged it, I used to participate in "Winky Dink" a kids show where you stuck a piece of green see through plastic right on the tube and then drew in stairs, bridges and stuff like that to help "Winky" escape or capture the bad guys. It was fun, but to this day I wonder if it contributed to my macular degeneration.”

“My first question is why is ANYONE doing a poll on Tiger's popularity? Unless it's a sponsor checking the value of his endorsement it makes no difference. Number two, I like Tiger, I don't golf, but I watch the matches when he plays. He bring a whole new level to a game that normally I find very boring. As for his personal life, I don't care. His behavior has not been ruled illegal, immoral perhaps, but that is between him and his family. If I were polled about Tiger, he would still have my support.”

harriettubman replied on Dec 15, 2009 at 14:09:06

“They should do a poll of people of color for Obama. The poll numbers are a direct contrast to what the MSM is putting out there.

As for Tiger, since when do athletes get polls? Kobe's story went away after the public found out that blond had several samples of se men in her pa nt ies. Yuck!”

“I'm no fan of Berlusconi, I see him pretty close to being a dictator, that said, the rise of violence in politics can lead to only major danger for society. We are seeing the same things happening here in the states. Elected officials showing no decorum (Wilsons "you lie" to the Prez), guns proudly shown at political rally's and we cannot forget the rudeness of the participants at the "town hall's" last summer. All of this lends itself to an anger on both sides that becomes unmanageable and truly could bring down our civilized society. It's not a good thing for anyone and especially for a democracy!”

“Tiger Woods destroyed Tiger Woods... Dont phuk loser barbies who are only in it for the $$ and notoriety. Of course they are going to blab! We all know none of those women would screw him if he was mini-golf champ at the local, Choke & Puke!

I believe Sanford, Spitzer, and John Edwards would disagree with you.. their disgretions basically ended their careers.. Sanford's will be when his term is up, so is he.”

“They needed 60 in the Senate. They simply sorely miscalculating just how much loyalty he owed the insurance industry in his state. His wife is one of them as well. He cuts them off he loses more than his seat, he loses future jobs and wealth. Both for himself and his wife. Which begs the questions, just how much money do you need at his age? How much cushion in retirement does he believe he needs to have if he never again works a day in his life?

They still need his vote on other issues. He's positioning himself for something being owed to him from this administration if he backs down at the last minute, it begs the question at this point what.”

“Dunno. Why are they bending over backwards to please Snowe? The Democrats are doing the only thing they possibly could do to render the self destructing Republicans as relevant. I have to wonder if it's deliberate.”

“It has become commercialized sadly but, no, it's not really about the money for Christians. I'm not saying we don't exchange presents which of course I love receiving but to me it's more about giving and that is what I am teaching my children. It's about giving to others and the joy that it brings. My 6 year old has been working for the past 2 weeks to make presents for everyone in our family because as she put it "Presents you make are much more special because they are made with love." To me THAT is what Christmas is about. The presents will be enjoyed for a while but most will soon be forgotten whereas the true meaning will not.

I used to get very upset by people who did not believe in Christ but still celebrated "Christmas" but I've let that go (for the most part). If they want to celebrate that feeling for one day okay; maybe it will carry over into the rest of the year. :-D”

“op-eds often are written by citizens

as opposed to experts, or politicians

i am no fan of sarah palin, but i have no problem with a wide array of opinions, from a plethora of different types

be they the sublime or absurd
from yale to jail
and every where in between

if i want to hear just opinions like mine, i will read the nation
i like reading the main stream media for the full range of opinions

it makes for more interesting reading
and lets me know where the other people that i live and work with are coming from”

“She was the only one brave enough to point out what a scam global warming turned out to be. Hiding declines and destroying raw data. Gov. Palin has been the one voice of reason in the debate. Global warming is a total fraud and she said it loud and clear.”
