And, take a look at the coins depicting her profile. She looked more Greek than Egyptican.

Given that they were produced in her lifetime to honor her, I would say that if she didn't sit for project, she at least had approval.

Jindal is a joke (you ought to see what he's doing to higher education), and so is this law. I wouldn't attend a church that allowed guns in the sanctuary.

People seem to conveniently forget that Ronald Reagan wanted NASA to reach out to the USSR during the Cold War. I recall something about some silly joint missions or a space station or something . . .

Re: MoveOn.org: Boycott Target

rose1957 — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:43:23 -0000

You wanna bet Target won't care? I don't live in Minnesota, but I'm never going to shop at Target again. I think if enough people sign moveon.org's petition, it might get Target's attention. I'm all for free speech, but not on my dime. This nut case from Minnesota wants to do away with the minimum wage, AND his objection to gays goes beyond merely opposing gay marriage. As I said, NOT ON MY DIME.

The sand bar was ALREADY off limits. The police department had dug trenches to keep people off the thing THAT MORNING. If you had been going to the sand bar before then, you were just as wrong as these people were. And you're more than a tad insenstive.

Re: Lone Drowning Survivor: 'They Were Trying to Save Me'

rose1957 — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:20:47 -0000

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the press conference held the next morning by the Shreveport mayor and fire chief, both of whom pointed out that the area WAS OFF LIMITS and that the city workers had been digging trenches to KEEP ALL PEOPLE off the sand bars. Yep, that's where I saw it. And just to make sure I wasn't imagining their message, I watched it replayed several times during the day on local newscasts.

I would say as long as women have the right to marry multiple men (tit for tat) and as long as everyone is of legal age and gives uncoerced consent, go for it.

Emma, I love you dear, but you're wrong about Ms. Hepburn. While her voice wasn't the greatest, she was trained in classical ballet for quite a while. Watch SABRINA, THE NUN'S STORY, ROMAN HOLIDAY, or WAIT UNTIL DARK. Perfection.

Now that would be ironic! I've read my share of Rand and found it tedious, taxing, and damned depressing. If adopting her philosophy is what it takes to be a success, then I'll pass.

Just off the top of my head, he lied about that altercation that supposedly happened between him and the women from THE VIEW. Got called out on camera, too. He also lied about why the Washington Monument is two different colors. Oh, and he really bent the truth about all those scary symbols on that building in New York.

The first mosque in America was built in 1731 or thereabouts--long before America was really America. In nearly 300 years we haven't been taken over. (did NOT mean to fave, missed the reply button on the first try)
