Police have discovered some body parts along an Illinois river. Could be the missing Stacy Peterson. Could also be the missing Lisa Stebic.
eta
It wasn't Stacy. It wasn't Lisa. It was yet another missing woman.

Hi, Curious. Good to "see" you.
It is painful to see the amount of attention pundits on TV and elsewhere are giving these issues as they pertain to the campaign when there is so much more at stake.
A friend of mine I much admire told me: "We don't need a movement, we need a competent President." Well, the thing is, I think we desperately need both. What we don't need is business as usual.
We need a new era of international relations, not only to battle terrorism, but to address globalization, out-sourcing, climate change, and a host of other issues requiring more and more cooperation. We need a new era of social and political involvement here at home as well. We need a commitment to change and to help which comes from the top down and from the bottom up. In a nation with crumbling inner-cities and continuing urban sprawl, a growing disparity between wage earners and the wealthiest few, increasing numbers of those who feel like they are disenfranchised, and that the game is rigged, in a society in which if you get sick you go bankrupt, and at a time when children are being raised seeing themselves more as consumers of goods than as citizens in charge of their own destiny, I think we can ill afford anything less than a movement which gives energy, focus, and power to ordinary people who, when inspired by a vision of what can be, are capable of making an extraordinary difference.

I guess that would be my point, too.

Yesterday there was a radio interview with some African American women on which way that group will vote. One of the women said that the conflict for many older women is whether to vote for a woman because she will understand their issues or to vote for an African American because he will understand those issues. To me, this goes to the heart of the matter. Isn't anyone concerned with the issues that affect us all? That is my problem with this presidential election. There is so much focus on the first woman and the first African American that some are losing sight of what the president will do to help the nation as a whole.

I keep going back and forth on the issue of race or gender, and can't come up with an answer on which would be more significant. Racism is still alive in the US, and there are still people who can't stand the idea of being led by a woman. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

"To the people of the Middle East: We hear your cries for justice," Bush said. "We share your desire for a free and prosperous future. And as you struggle to find your voice and make your way in this world, the United States will stand with you."
Fearlessly, the shrub preaches democracy to the ignorant savages.

PORTAGE, Ind. ? A black Labrador that bit a 13-year-old boy's foot repeatedly, waking him up, is being credited with saving the boy and two of his friends from a house fire.
Too cute

In Oklahoma, it was, in years past, against the law to have hard liquor and dancing under the same roof. We have liquor by the drink but not on Sunday. At Applebee's you can't have more than 3 alcoholic beverages on the table even if there are more people. I even got carded at Red Lobster when I wanted a Bahama Mama. I smiled then thanked the waitress and left her a big tip

Don't worry they'd love to.
Of course this is a classic case of the knee jerk law-making, whereby we should pass laws to make sure nothing bad could possibly ever happen again.
There are a lot of fatal car accidents; I say we ban cars too.

FWIW...the woman who posed the now famous question that caused Clinton to become emotional, voted for Obama. She said that she has been watching Clinton and she always seems upbeat and the woman wondered how she did it. Since Clinton was the candidate she was sitting with, she asked her, but she said she wondered it about Edwards and Obama too. One of the women who attended that sit down voted for Clinton mainly because of what Clinton said about how she feels about the country. Another woman said that she voted for Clinton because she thinks it's about time a woman was president. Someone needs to clean up the mess left by the men who have inhabited the White House lo these many years. So, I guess there isn't one reason people voted for Clinton. There are many.

It all depends on the qualifty of the "entertainment".
I've been to a strip club and maybe if I as drunk I might have found it "fun".
