In my late teens I was a fan of Paul Tsongas and Bruce Babbit, but I got a little older and wised up a little bit. Actually, it was probably the Clintons who pushed me to the right. That’s my little conversion story.
Describing a New York Times story as “suspicious” is redundant.
Just be happy you are not the guy this gal is married to. YIKES.
I had the unfortunate experience a week ago of taking my daughter to a doctor just like the “Ann” described above.
The visit ended with him waving his arms in the air and expostulating, “Your religious views are tearing apart everything we’re trying to do here.”
Loathsome pile of cockroach crap.
Hubby sounds like he was Obama-bait long before Obama was around.
Lorne Adrain quotes:
“I felt like these days, people are building silos in their lives. I wanted to restore the relationships and connected-ness of a community.”
“Before you knew it, people raised their hands and started arranging things. One person made a tool-sharing list and another a baby-sitting list.”
“What we’re trying to do on a personal level is to make connections so that more kids, especially in low-income areas, have more adults in their life. All of these things add up to better lives, safer lives, better schools and communities.”
“At the end of the day, it’s about somebody saying, ‘I’m going to do this’. I think its really exciting that students and adults are coming together to get to know each other and respect each other.”
“I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level.”
Not really. Her prose is somewhat sloppy.
oh, what a web we “knit”.......when we wish to deceive.
well, mine is much more dramatic; my pre-conversion sins were inexcusable. For example, I actually voted for Michael Dukakis (it my first time).
However, soon thereafter my eyes were opened and I've been doing penance ever since. The years from 1992-2000 were, for example, my idea of one level of purgatory.
The high point of my Democratic life was Mike Dukakis’s nomination acceptance speech. I probably voted for him, but don’t remember. After college I joined MassPIRG and Handgun Control Inc. Then I started to realize these people were idiots. Read Ayn Rand, and started reading Chronicles, first Libertarian, now Paleo, planning to die Christian reactionary.
I’ll confess that in my late teens I was a Dem. In 1972 I wanted to see Henry Jackson get the nomination. Yes, Henry Jackson, not George McGovern, the so-called youth candidate. Mostly due to my not liking what McGovern wanted to do to our military. So I was already moving to the right.
As Ronaldus Magnus said, I did not leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me.
So much of this stuff is fake - dems are known for writing fake letter-to-the-editor, fake calls to Rush and Hannity etc. How anyone can trust these people is beyond me. The reporter should have done some fact checking.
That's why I'd never wrap a fish with it. You'd never be able to get that newspaper smell off the fish.
What a pretentious twit.
I sure wouldn’t want to be married to Ann Hood, that’s for sure.
Reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon I cut out a few weeks ago, and stuck on the Fridge to tease my wife.
This woman is sitting in a chair with an angry look, tapping her foot. Her husband comes in the door behind her, holding a bouquet, and says, “Honey, I brought you some flowers to complain about.”
He should be reported to the state medical association.
"black ink pasta and Chianti"
...and a stroll to Starbucks for a chai latte afterwards?
Now it looks like the Republican Party has left you too.
Yeah, that does sound a little over the top, even for a 21st century us-educated medical "professional."
