I really don't post vanities often. But, I am in a quandary and need some information and advice. I make jewelry and belong to a Yahoo Group with other people who make jewelry. A bunch of these people decided that they want to purchase some jewelry items from an online vendor. I went to the vendor's site and found a very disturbing essay where the author pretty much stated that the U.S. deserved what happened to it on September 11.

The story just keeps getting worse. Johnson is the coordinator of the governor’s highway safety program in Vermont. That agency paid thousands of dollars to put up two billboards in the middle of New Hampshire that have been turning heads and sparking conversations. Trees were cleared to provide a view of a new billboard on I-293 promoting seatbelt use in Vermont. (BOB...

Those vaunted Ph.D.s tend to be in subjects such as marine engineering or gas kinetics rather than in relevant disciplines like zoology or geology.

I keep thinking that someone close to him will tell him how to pronounce the word. I always associate the mispronounciation of that word with Democrats, for some reason. Hey! Maybe that's why he does it! It's intentional; he wants the Dems to think he can relate to them! Is there some way to get the word to him that he's pronouncing it wrong? Please don't flame me.
