TCB - Regarding EQUUS,  "Mr. Griffiths can be seen from all seats in the theater."

(a line stolen from a poster on another internet board)


Ah, yes -- thank you.

Since the attacks today seem to be getting more and more personal towards me even though everyone else can freely attack Palin and McCain with no one caring...maybe it's time for me to leave.


I think DR TCB said what i was thinking better than I did and I didn't mean for this to get personal, but you must admit your dislike of Obama has provoked from you snarky comments for some time, from "I could say this but I won't" to "no one has even started talking about Obama's cocaine use. That will be a big one later," or state without validation of the source in any of your reports that a telephone poll "was clearly from OBama's camp even though they didn't identify themselves as such. They asked what I thought was wrong with Clinton, and what I thought was wrong with Edwards but didn't mention Obama, lol." And then you constantly use this as a reason to bash him. Have you yet proven he or his campaign was behind the phone call? Maybe they were, but I've never received a similar call in 30 years as a New York primary voter.

I don't care if you vote for McCain, King Kong, or Teddy Roosevelt, but you've been making these snarky comments for some time and then, when someone responds, you get all huffy and superior becase your red banner waving has provoked someone.  You remind me of the hostile Norma Moss who comes into Barnes and Noble where I worked to let the clerks know how stupid they are so she can feel superior.

On 2/03/08 you wrote this:
"And I will confess that looking at these two candidates my inner feminist has surfaced. It's time for a woman president.  I didn't get good vibes from Obama when I met him, it didn't get any better the second time I saw him and well....it's like he has this sense of entitlement to the office and we were just peons or something. I didn't get that from any other candidate."

In your earlier posts about the rally, you never mentioned bad vibes.

Well, you may get your wish for a woman president if McCain is elected and dies in office, but since you call yourself a feminist, just tell me what is there remotely "feminist" about Sarah Palin, since most of the feminists I respect think she's unqualified? I bash her because I feel she's an insult to probably a million better-informed and better-prepared women for the position and because I believe she'll prove an embarassment to affairs of state with her redneck family. And I will continue to do so.

In some families, they are restricted to discussing the weather and everybody's wealth.  

So global warming and the economy would be acceptable topics.

I'm assuming Cilla just meant she's leaving the conversation for now.  

I've gotten so much info on both sides of the discussion from reading the points of view here

I'm just catching up on reading yesterday afternoon's posts.

Two comments for DR jose.

One. re: NINE.

The reason i had posted yesterday was because i was watching something on tv and they got a live call-in from Kate hudson who said she was (in london?) on set filming NINE now.

So i was surprised it was filming now and that she was in it.

Two for DR Jose.

Re: the mentalist and my seeking info before watching it.

Normally i decide from reading the tv guide summaries whether a show would interest me. For instance a show like PRIVILIGED which would not interest anyone else here i love.

But THE MENTALIST only moderately appealed to me. But the problem is i have a conflict when it is on. So it would have to be something i'd really enjoy. Which is why i wanted to see what the reviews were like.

Also i hate getting attached to a show that gets cancelled right away. So if i knew it was a bomb i would have passed on it.

I will be going to Staten Island this evening to see On the Town.

I'll leave in about 20 minutes and get on the 6:30 ferry and walk to the Theatre. I'm looking forward to the performance. Other friends have said they are going so it should be lots of fun. With that wonderful score I'll at least hear good music if nothing else.

Well I come back from the Rent screening to find that DR Cillializ is possibly leaving HHW because she feels I attacked her.

I don't think I did, but that is how she perceives it.

So if someone can PM me her email address, I will attempt to reconcile.  I would be very upset if I were to be the cause of anyone feeling unwelcome here.

Just did it! She creeps me out. But some feminists are supporting her, I hear? I cannot think why.

Maybe they put National Defense, Free Markets, and Lower Taxes ahead of changes to social policy. Actually, except for the Choice issue, Palin should be a feminist's dream - an Alaskan Molly Brown.

Is this the last season of NUMBERS?  I guess I missed you saying that you had that to review.  I love that show.

The box set I'm reviewing is season 4 which is the 2007-2008 season. The new season for the show starts next Friday.

BTW, I have to request which CBS/Paramount series boxes I want each month, and NUMBERS was not one I selected. They sent it anyway.

To continually quote it as the truth is hurtful to both sides, and has nothing to do with the present Presidential campaign, except to muddy the waters.

But Cilla did NOT report the allegations as truth (which they surely are not) but that the rumor was rife (which it surely is). The wild rumors running the internet, the water cooler, and the phone-trees are all a very significant part of the election process and need to be reported upon.

Hey, Girl - stick it out.

As I'm sure you know, some of us do care about the bile from the left, but history tells us that those partisans do not gracefully respond to argument.

I never discuss politics. I am too stupid.

And I don't say that so that anyone will say: Oh, no, you are not.  

It's true. I am.

I won't be seeing All My Sons, at least today. I went up to see if I could get a matinee ticket and yes, there are matinee tickets available but they are $63 for f***ing partial view. How stupid do you think I am (don't answer that)? Perhaps if you had a partial view for $20 I might consider but you're out of your mind if you think I'm paying $63 for a partial view ticket. Shove it up your money grubbing...throat (a partial Stop the World reference).

OK, theatre price rant over.

...or state without validation of the source in any of your reports that a telephone poll "was clearly from OBama's camp even though they didn't identify themselves as such. They asked what I thought was wrong with Clinton, and what I thought was wrong with Edwards but didn't mention Obama, lol." And then you constantly use this as a reason to bash him. Have you yet proven he or his campaign was behind the phone call? Maybe they were, but I've never received a similar call in 30 years as a New York primary voter.

Push-polls are easy for astute people to identify - that they come from someones "camp" does not imply an official connection. You may well not have received any push polls because you failed to meet the target demographic - you only invest in push-polling where the target audience is rich in undecideds and the race is close.

So, you consider "bashing" a polite form of social discourse?
