McCain was right about one thing …
I’m getting complaints about how much emphasis I’m putting in this column on the presidential election and the candidates and their running mates. I don’t actually enjoy writing about politics and all this deadly serious stuff every single day. I’m a woman who loves to write about cats and birds, the beautiful nature of Sarasota, […]
A dog in the fight
Sarah, I’m a ballsy chick, but I’m no pit bull (maybe more of a Boston Terrier). I don’t care for hockey (just a tad violent for my tastes), and I don’t wear lipstick (I’m a gloss gal myself). But just ‘cause I wouldn’t self-identify with a pit bull, doesn’t mean I’m not willing to jump […]
The straight dope …
I’ve heard from a lot of you via email and postings that you think I’m “on Palin’s side because she’s a woman” — or I’ve “finally come to my senses” — citing last night’s Palin Pulled No Punches column as evidence for both POVs. Um, did you guys (only men have said either of these […]
Palin pulls no punches
Wow. Sarah Palin nailed her presentation to the Republican party and the American public. I may not like her politics but I can’t argue with her stage presence. The woman definitely got my attention.
My campaign promise: I won’t date dumb
In my gazillion years on the dating frontlines, I’ve dated on both sides of the political fence and never have given it a whole lot of thought. But now the stakes are too high. So high, in fact, that I’ve decided I must establish a thorough vetting process — a sophisticated questionnaire that will reveal […]
McPain’s Macho-esque Mistake
John McPain is running scared. But when you run scared, you always get lost, and John’s looking a little like a befuddled senior who got lost on the way home, wandering around the neighborhood unsure on which door he should knock to find his family. Apparently, he thinks he found his VP family in Palin. […]
Classless at the Convention
The Clintons are rocking the house. Biden is sexy and strong. On the whole a classy affair, n’est-ce pas? Except for one thing:
I’m blaming Bill (published in the Tampa Tribune 8/26)
In the over-hyped week before Obama announced his VP choice, I shocked myself by realizing I was harboring a secret hope that he’d choose Hillary Clinton. Why this sudden convoluted craving for a Clinton? I didn’t vote for her in the primaries; Obama’s been my choice all along. So, why this rush of hope for […]
Actions make a real American (as published in the Tampa Tribune)
Does anyone know anymore just what makes an American … an American? Americans used to be everyday action heroes – a nation, once, of people who worked hard, saved for luxuries, ate meals together, and air-dried their laundry.
Clinton country
(This was the follow-up column to Blasphemy at the pulpit — ran in April 08.) After finally digging myself out from under the deluge of reader mail sent in response to the Blasphemy at the Pulpit column (where I questioned the wisdom of Hillary bringing her husband back into the White House) … I’m here […]
