The Party House (RAPP)

[Kate Sachel]

EVERYONE is invited!

[William Anthony]

EVERYONE is invited!

Let me be the first to accept the invitation and thank you for taking the leadership initiative. :)

[Kate Sachel]

Let me be the first to accept the invitation and thank you for taking the leadership initiative. :)

It is my pleasure, and also my hope that this will be the one area where we can all unwind and enjoy one another on a level that lacks all hostility.

I agree but maybe we should have more cake and less alcohol, :). I think if martin joins, he should be nominated the sergeant at arms.:)

That reminds me, martin had better show up armed with these bourbon balls that he has been talking about.

Kate

[William Anthony]

If I am not being too presumptuous, I think that You and I should be nominated as the Supreme Court in order to resolve possible disputes about whose pastries or alcohol is the best. I would be happy to sample and offer my opinion,:).

[Redmama]

What a great idea! I think that if people are on two sides of an issue, but are still friends, it will make life a lot easier!

[William Anthony]

Kate

I don't think he has the b---s to show up without the balls. :)

[Kate Sachel]

If I am not being too presumptuous, I think that You and I should be nominated as the Supreme Court in order to resolve possible disputes about whose pastries or alcohol is the best. I would be happy to sample and offer my opinion,:).

I second your nomination to the Supreme Court, and would humbly accept your nomination of myself.

WHERE are the bourbon balls?

Kate

[Kate Sachel]

What a great idea! I think that if people are on two sides of an issue, but are still friends, it will make life a lot easier!

Welcome to the party!

For those who do not drink alcohol, there are plenty of other great refreshments.

Kate

[William Anthony]

What a great idea! I think that if people are on two sides of an issue, but are still friends, it will make life a lot easier!

I totally agree and am looking forward to posts from the ICPP or whatever name they should choose for their party. I would even be willing to try their cake and alcohol to see if they have a validity to their views. :)

[William Anthony]

I second your nomination to the Supreme Court, and would humbly accept your nomination of myself.

WHERE are the bourbon balls?

Kate

I am with you. "Let's get the party started" so that we can say "Let's Do It Again". Bring on the goodies.

[tv]

Kate, thank you for creating the thread. I hope this will be a place where we can have fun with each other. (Plus, I won't feel so bad when I'm forced to tear off William's head in another thread. ;) )

If you see William in a fight with a bear, help the bear. :) You'd shouldn't do that, smile.

[William Anthony]

Kate,

I think that our first case should be to decide the issue of the Case Susie31203 v. Martin II on the issue of the burbon balls. I think we should grant certiorari? :)

[WarmNCozy]

Thanks, Kate!

My first contribution is a Florida treat! Key Lime Pie!http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff305/CozyNWarm/Food/key_lime_pie-380.jpg

Kate,

Agreed, and where on earth is martin with the bourbon balls?

OK, Martin where are the bourbon balls?

[martin II]

I agree but maybe we should have more cake and less alcohol, :). I think if martin joins, he should be nominated the sergeant at arms.:)

I am joining and will come regardless of who may not . But i am not that good at enforcing rules but will give it a try if you like. I may be too busy eating Susies pies to pay attention.

[William Anthony]

IIRC, Susie said she made bourbon balls. In fairness and in the interest of reciprocal discovery, we must supoena both Susie's and Martin's evidence.

I will see if she can get me a picture. But i am temped to try to chop on yours.

[William Anthony]

The Court will monitor your eating habits very carefully. Why do you think I nominated you for the position? More eating and drinking for the court. :)

[Kate Sachel]

I am joining and will come regardless of who may not . But i am not that good at enforcing rules but will give it a try if you like. I may be too busy eating Susies pies to pay attention.

I am glad that you have joined, and I hope that you and I can post to one another here.

Kate

[William Anthony]

As soon as we get a response from the Pineapple Cake side, I think that will be our next case. So, don't eat all the evidence. Save some for the Court. We may have to have each party submit further samples.:)

[William Anthony]

I am glad that you have joined, and I hope that you and I can post to one another here.

Kate

I think that would be a perfect way to toast the celebration of our new party. I especially extend this invitation to martin for reasons I feel will be most beneficial to all concerned.

[tv]

We may have to have each party submit further samples.:)But William, we're all on the same side here. I already know my pineapple upsidedown cake has no serious competition so there's no need to compete. :)

[William Anthony]

But William, we're all on the same side here. I already know my pineapple upsidedown cake has no serious competition so there's no need to compete. :)

I think all think there cooking is the best. I see no problem with a friendly competition, each submitting their best samples (with multiple chances for resubmission, if the participant's feels the last submission was not their best) for the Court's consideration. :)

I would beg the court's pardon If I may...I said I made a mean Pecan pie :biggrin:and that I loved Boubon Balls..I would ask the court to read back and see where I have been begging Martin to Bring the Bourbon balls because I was unable to acquire the recipe for said bourbon Balls..:tongue: I am so very glad that this thread has been made:rose:. It truly makes me feel so good to see a different side of all of us, Thank you:rose::rose:~Suz

PS...Could I please be appointed the special Bailiff? { not sure if this court has one, hehehe] I would like to be able to kick anyones hiney if they became unruly, hehehehe

I do not think that position would do you justice, so I nominate you for Warden, with the authority to dole out punishment. Please, forgive me. but I think some one said they made bourbon balls. I guess I will have to research and change the caption of the case. The Court needs to resolve the issue of these bourbon balls as speedily as possible.:)

I don't know Susie, you seem a little too gentle to imagine you kicking anyone's hiney. However, I do love a good pecan pie and so it is possible that I may be swayed. Allow me to consult with William regarding the appointment of Bailiff.

Thank you so much I do like the sound of being Warden:biggrin:...Now IIRC it was Martin who said his daughter made the Bourbon Balls:D...That is why I keep asking him for them:tongue:, hehehehe

I hope your honor would allow the appointment by William to be Warden will meet with your approval as I will make an especially good pecan pie just for you:biggrin:. I promise I will be very stern and harsh :punch:with any one who dares to become unruly in this court:eek:..:biggrin:

[William Anthony]

You are correct and the caption of the case needs to be amended. It should read One2Snoop v. Martin II. Since you like the sound of being Warden and the Court is easily swayed, I suggest you start on those pies. :)

[William Anthony]

I hope your honor would allow the appointment by William to be Warden will meet with your approval as I will make an especially good pecan pie just for you:biggrin:. I promise I will be very stern and harsh :punch:with any one who dares to become unruly in this court:eek:..:biggrin:

You cannot bribe (00ps that slipped out) one justice without persuading the other. Send four pies.

Kate

[William Anthony]

Why no means at all Justice Sachel. It was just my attempt to make sure that we have food while we contemplate the appointment. We should not be hasty and partake of the pies so that we will not make a decision out of hunger.

Oh, I see. I can certainly understand that position, and I definitely do not want to be accused of making an inappropriate ruling due to distraction by hunger pains.

Four pies Susie!

Your honors may expect the pies shortly..I felt in order to be fair and give yor honors the chance to really deliberate on the taste of said pies :biggrin:that each of your honors should have 3 pies, instead of the original 2:D.....Thank you so much for the appointment.:biggrin:.

Ok - that's it - I'm taking you all to court. That Rum Cake was so inviting that I broke my monitor trying to get to it - I had to go buy one. Don't worry - I will split the cost evenly between all of you.

But William, we're all on the same side here. I already know my pineapple upsidedown cake has no serious competition so there's no need to compete. :)

I am bettting on your cake lady.

[Redmama]

I'll make you guys a deal - bring me a 6 pack of Bud Light to the party and we will call it even.

[martin II]

That reminds me, martin had better show up armed with these bourbon balls that he has been talking about.

My daughter makes the best burbon balls east and west of the Mississippi.
So i will bring a basket full for everyone and ask that William allow them to be
accepted into evidence as such.

I have tried to paste a picture with no success.

I don't know how to paste a picture either - I would like to know - anybody?

[One2Snoop]

How to post a picture...

go on the web and find a picture you want - right click it and select "save picture as" to either your desktop or whatever folder you choose - I save mine to "pictures"

Go to a website like tinypic.com
Select browse
Find the picture you want to upload from your desktop and click on it
select open
click on upload now

copy and paste the code that says "Img Code for Forums and Message Boards" and voila.... http://i34.tinypic.com/dcwmcl.gif

ETA: Please remember to resize the picture to make it smaller otherwise you will blow the margins like I just did LOL.

You can resize the picture by going to "my pictures" open it and select the picture you want to edit - you can right click and select edit, select resize and then I typically choose "predefined height and width" and select the "web small" option"
click on ok and then File - Save As.

[One2Snoop]

Here's the picture that I tried to post a few mintues ago but it blew the margins so I resized it...

It appears you selected the third option for "Email and IM" and thats why the picture didn't show up in your post. You need to select the second option ( see my example above) that reads "Img Code for Forums and Message Boards".
The code needs to have http // 34.tinypic. com/ 2jkxxx3&s wrapped around it. I put spaces in between just so you can see the example without the picture posting.

Try again when you get the chance - we'll keep working on it til you get it figured out - ok? It took me more than a few tries in the beginning so I don't mind helping. :seeya:

I am copying the picture from a cake company page.

Thanks for your help. When i right click to copy the picture, i don't have the option "img code for forums and message boards" and i think this may be my problem as i am able to copy and paste to e-mail and word pages but cannot paste to this message board. I also tried highlighting , copy and paste but it will not copy to the message board.It may be something in my settings.
will keep trying .

Let me to ditto the thanks. I will try to post a picture of my favorite food-sweet potato souffle with marshmallows. Tv, I like it with pineapple inside but prefer coconut and raisins.

[William Anthony]

To The Warden,

I don't know why it will not allow me to publish the picture. Don't punish me. I followed your instructions. However, I would appreciate some assistance. If you type in sweet potato souffle with marshmallows, it is the third or fourth pic. Can you post it for the computer illiterate justice? Thanks. If only you could see the pics I have on my computer, trying to get an avatar, you would understand.:)

Does your daughter work in the food industry or does she simply like to cook/bake?

Thank you for sharing the treats martin, I'm definitely looking forward to those.

Justice Sachel and Justice Anthony are greedy with the food, so to ensure proper justice for all we must require you send us each two cheesecakes.

Yes, I must agree. We in no way want to be seen as trying to stifle the ingenuity and creativity of the community, so long as they operate in the confines of the law. Since the law permits such activity as cake bribing (I mean baking) and we firmly uphold equality of opportunity, we mandate that all public officers have the opportunity to sample the cheesecake.

[William Anthony]

One2Snoop,

While it is not customary for the Court to offer legal advise, Justice Sachel and I are not sure you had proper notification. We must urge you to send us your bourbon balls in order to avoid a default judgment. However, I do believe that Justice Sachel will not be opposed, if a default judgment is entered, that we allow you to refile, without prejudice.

Ahem, Now Justice William you know it wasn't my instructions you were try to copy from, if I may beg the courts indulgence. It is much easier to open a photobucket account upload your pics there and the it is so much easier to paste them from that account..If anyone needs it it is www.photobucket.com..you can then grab your pics from the web and when you are uploading them it gives you the option to resize them at the upload. Much easier,. But justice Anthony:tongue: I will go in search of that Sweet potato Souffle and see what I can do for you..The Warden Is very pleased at how cooperative everyone has been in this effort:beer:.

Justice Satchel, I will of course request a plain cheesecake for you and Justice Anthony:biggrin:, but the Warden must have a whole one in order to ascertain if there could possibly be any contraband in it coming into the court..:biggrin:

[William Anthony]

It is much easier to open a photobucket account upload your pics there and the it is so much easier to paste them from that account..If anyone needs it it is www.photobucket.com..you can then grab your pics from the web and when you are uploading them it gives you the option to resize them at the upload. Much easier,. But justice Anthony:tongue: I will go in search of that Sweet poato Souffle and see what I can do for you..The Warden Is very pleased at how cooperative everyone has been in this effort:beer:.

Justice Satchel, I will of course request a plain cheesecake for you and Justice Antony:biggrin:, but the Warden must have a whole one in order to ascertain if there could possibly be any contraband in it coming into the court..:biggrin:

Again, you are correct and it seems that for some reason I keep confusing you with the One.:) I guess I just am a glutton for punishment, at least that is what I was told as a child. In any event, I do appreciate your help and since I continue to confuse the two of you, I guess it is only fitting that we nominate One2Snoop as our Chief of Police and Forum Betterment Investigator (COP and FBI):). Thank you for your assistance.

Justice Sachel Please forgive me for misspelling your name in the post on page 2. It has been a rather rough night for the Warden and she begs your Honors patience with her mistake:punch::biggrin:

[susie31023]

The Warden Repectfully would like to admit the following as evidence of her "special" Pecan pies..

This is a lucious pecan pie with spiked cream[bourbon]

Also this one..It is an absolutely decadent Chocolate Bourbon pecan Pie...

Thank you. However, my souffle does not leave any spaces as the top is filled with marshmallows and the inside looks much like a sweet potato pie. It is so good that the devil would trade in his pitchfork for a toothpick.

[martin II]

Does your daughter work in the food industry or does she simply like to cook/bake?

Thank you for sharing the treats martin, I'm definitely looking forward to those.

She has a small baking company that she bakes and sells to some corporations, Barneys, Brooks Brothers etc and friends.I am very proud of her.

Burbon Balls.

In my haste I forgot the other Justice. I think you will need to send at least 70 gallons.

[martin II]

I'll take 35 gallons.

Thanks. however they are made with Burbon or D.R. Rum.At 35 gals you may not be able to find the address of the party.:cool:

:rose: Martin as well you should be. It is very hard to break into the cooking business alone and she must be a very intelligent and industrious young lady:rose: to have acquired her accounts. Please give her my very best wishes of much success.~Suz

You can also set up an account on Photobucket.com and upload all your photos there. Then go to the IMG code double click, it will say copied, then paste it in your reply thread. Voila! Fini!

I just wanted to post a note this morning that I will away from our forum for several days.

As most of you are aware, my father passed away from an illness several months back. Since that time I have spent a good portion of time in Boston assisting my mother in the aftermath and helping her tie up any remaining loose ends.

My mother ultimately made the decision to take her own life, and she passed away on Monday night. I have tried my best to remain functioning, to continue posting on our forum and doing things that were otherwise a normal part of my daily routines but her funeral is tomorrow here in Boston and the grieving process must begin.

Take care, and I'll see you all next week I'm sure. And please, hug everyone that you love today and remind them that you love them.

I trust the pie was to your honors liking? :biggrin:...The Warden must go take care of some business but will return a soon as possible. Then I will try to procure O2S's agreement to take the said nominations, :Dhehehe...Of course she will have to bring both your honors a sweet decadent dessert, hehehe:biggrin:

It seems to me that we will need a new MOM. I am sorry to see that she left but I think we all understand why. I pray that she will not have to experience what she experienced here and my best wishes go with her today and forevermore. Perhaps, she may be persuaded to return, knowing that she is sorely missed.

Someone else will have to supply the ice cream and I would be happy to, if I knew how to post it, otherwise we will have to eat those two bowls very slowly. :)

An Ode To William Anthony

So it be that our William here,
Holds the flow of his words dear.
He is no ordinary frivolous chap;
Whom articulates through gums that flap.
He welds his thoughts in prose and rhyme;
Tell me now where be the crime?

But in this be mindful, William, of the fact,
That through your creativity you must administer tact.
And by your prose please endeavor,
To make your thoughts as clear and they are clever.
For Truth will indeed set you free;
If you seek and speak in earnestly.

[William Anthony]

With humble arms and bended knee
I take the praise you speak of me
cruel I tried not to be
I thought it was diplomacy.
I love the kindness you showed me
and vow I have spoken in all honesty.

[Redmama]

When's the next party? I would be glad to host it in my home!

[William Anthony]

Even though he is not one of my most favorite people, I cried when I saw Jesse Jackson crying. His tears to me expressed a reflection of the past, a recognition of the present and a hope for the future. Yes, it was nicely done and America has reacted admirably. Congratulations to America.

I feel you irritation, being nice, for Jesse and I share it. Yes, I was speaking only that his tears reflected the sentiments of America as a whole. Since I have decided that sharing my age is no longer an issue, I can say that I was a teenager, during the civil rights movement and went into the service 18 days after MLK was murdered. Although Jesse meant less to me, his tears I understood and shared them. Perhaps, now some will understand why I feel so passionately about equality. I never lost those feelings but last night I was truly inspired and hope that his election will have a great impact upon society as a whole. Now the realization must be actualized for women. I hope that no longer will class determine the ability to attain equality.

[William Anthony]

I just heard on Fox that Palin gave an interview, which they will soon be showing. They said that she said she was sorry, if she caused McCain one vote and she would not engage in negativity. While she did not impress me, I think it is a shame, if someone is blaming her. It was a calculated decision to nominate her for VP, imho, and she should not be used as a scape goat. I think the RNC should follow McCain's example.

I think there are two Jessis Jacksons that most know.
One, a long time civil rights leader for all people and one protrayed by the media to the people.

I am not sure Palin knew what she was getting into. I am sure she was used by mcCain and a wing of the GOP. But she had the option to pass or accept,
she took the later and played their game. She now has to take the hits from the people that used her and those that think she made the wrong decision.
With 62% of the people saying she was not qualified to be vp must hurt.imo

It's a shame that you seem so willing to underestimate so many of us. I am capable of recognizing, and applauding, his achievements as a civil rights leader but no one is going to convince me that all of his actions are driven by altruism.

Are you really trying to suggest that anything negative of him comes from the media portrayal of him to the people? How about from his own less than stellar actions?

Kate

[William Anthony]

imo

I am not diminishing his accomplishments in the area of civil rights. However, the Dream was not limited to one race or class, as I understood it. I think Jesse let his bitterness cause him to lose sight of the greater goal. I am not saying that he is not a great civil rights leader but I am saying that some of his comments demeaned the purpose of the Dream, imho. I do not distrust his motivation or dedication, only that I think they somehow got twisted.

[William Anthony]

I am not sure Palin knew what she was getting into. I am sure she was used by mcCain and a wing of the GOP. But she had the option to pass or accept,
she took the later and played their game. She now has to take the hits from the people that used her and those that think she made the wrong decision.
With 62% of the people saying she was not qualified to be vp must hurt.imo

I understand. I just think that it serves no good purpose for the RNC to fault her for what was a calculated decision, which they embraced with open arms. I think they should accept the idea that America has spoken and, if any blame is to be placed, place it on themselves for not running a better campaign.

[William Anthony]

For once, I agree with you. :beer:

We had a disagreement on a different issue. I understood, after you had stated your position, and thought you may not have read the posts leading up to our disagreement or my position on it. You asked me to drop it (paraphrasing), which I was agreeable to. I was in a good mood that day and saw no reason to continue or to cause any more hostility. I am glad to see you post and hope that from here on out we can appreciate each others' feelings or seek a clarification. Thanks.

I agree, the campaign, McCain, is resaponsible for the outcome.

Loosers always look for someone to blame. Last week they (RNC) seemed to have been organizing the cirular firing squard. They seemed to have put Palin in the middle. But she knew or should have known that she was over her head
when they put her out there as their attack point person.

The RNCS problems are structural.The country has left that thinking behind.
Palin was just one of many small bad decisions that did hurt but there were other larger ones that caused people to reject them.:cool:

[William Anthony]

Martin,

I truly understand what you are saying but I find it troubling. They placed her out there to say they were allegedly progressive but blamed her for going off script-She was supposed to be a well dressed puppet that regurgitated their views and because she messed up a couple of times that caused the large disparity in the votes. I think that is a bad strategy to take, unless they want to further alienate women. Maybe, I should be quiet and let them do what they do best. :)

William let me try again

McCain made a assumption that with HRC loss, the womens vote was up for grabs. it was, but what he later found out was that their vote was not up for grabs to any woman but to one that they felt was qualified. Such as Hillary or other republican women.

When McCain put Palin up. it did not take women long to understand that she was not the woman, person, they were looking for.
So they rejected her and voted for Obama.

I don't think it was Palin alone that caused McCain to loose but i believe McCain lost some womens vote he thought he would get by putting her on the ticket.

At least that is what the womens vote indicates.imo

I agree and I think McCain showed great poise and understanding last night. What I am saying is that, yes, there was more than one reason why McCain lost the race. However, those who should take credit for the loss are those that instrumented the campaign. Palin never impressed me but she obviously impressed them or they claimed she did. I am not disagreeing with you and I hope they continue to use the strategy of demeaning her so they will never get the vote of women. Let me see if I can say it this way. There are men and women, who degrade their ex, not thinking how it makes them look for choosing them. It is a far better thing to do to say that they were good people but things did not work out for other reasons, imho. I think we are agreeing.

You are absolutely right. Many women were offended at the idea that McCain assumed we line up like sheep in a manner similar to girlfriends using the restroom together in highschool and that he thought he could sway those women who were in Hillary's camp to vote the McCain ticket simply because he put a woman on a ballot.

Kate

[William Anthony]

The rather savage or vicious attacks on Ms. Govenor Palin within the Republican party reinforces my opinion that, on the issues of judgment and character, America made the right choice on Tuesday. Senator McCain seems to have risen above some other members of his party. I think that, because of his strongly held political ideologies, he is not willing to change his party affiliation. I truly believe that he was sincere in his offer to be of assistance to the President Elect and hope that they will reach across party lines to do what is best for America.

[William Anthony]

Who is hosting/hostessing the party today?

[FDInLaw]

I'd offer to host but my home is infested with rugrats. :D

[William Anthony]

Today, I am going to need a ton of bourbon balls and 2 tons of rum.

[martin II]

my question to Palin is why couldn't she just wear her own clothes.She had to have had some.
Why was it necessary for the party to pay$40,000 for clothes for her husband.

Her decision to do this is what caused the media to make a issue out of it.

On and on their weakened tired arms did turn the oar
Against the ocean ran red with ancient blood
Onward toward the foggy shape of a distant shore
As if their tearful eyes did cause the flood.
From the distance rang out a voice unmistakably clear
Strain, strain do not forget the goal
Remember those that struggled, hold the vision dear
You are the youth of those grown old
Draw upon the ancient strength to bolster your will
With vigor fresh continue the struggle, with hope anew
To climb that insurmountable hill
And eventually you will see your arrival at

All Manner of insults and accusations did they throw
However they failed to dent his shield
In awe they watched this valliant warrior as his popularity did grow.
In somberness they watched as he climbed the hill
What manner of man is this who marches forward promising change
What they did not know and could not feel
Was that it had been foretold written in the Bible it said the same
It was not theirs that counted but God's will
With all they did and tried they realized it was not adequate to stop
For the Bible, God's words, had sealed the deal
It had been written that before the end of time
--------the bottom shall rise to the top.

I agree too -

I actually like Palin any many ways - not everything - but I do appreciate many of the things she stood for - she almost swayed my vote that way. I am still a bit upset about the way Hillary was treated - but all water under the bridge - I am ready for some change and hope to see some of that change very quickly.

[Redmama]

I don't really have much opinion on the clothes issue - I'm sure there are so many things like this that happen during an election - we are better off just not knowing. In my opinion, issues are made regarding things like this when there are so many more important things to discuss.

Initially the clothes issue became a issue because it is illegal for the campaign
to spend campaign donated money on items of personal use, like personal clothing for herself and her non candidate husband.
I have never heard that this was done before and the media reported it to the public.

I was puzzeled why Palin would eject her Hockey mon Image for high end designer clothes that were not her own.She must have had clothes in Alaska that she wore.

[tv]

martin, most of what was bought for her was not purchased by her but by staffers that bought several sizes of the same outfit to be sure they fit. There has been some talk of her doing some extravagant personal shopping but I don't think any of that has been proven.

The campaign is over and McCain/Palin lost to Obama/Biden. I voted for McCain -- I've voted Repulican for many years and saw nothing to change my mind. It's time now to move on from the criticism and finger pointing. While Mr. Obama was not my first choice he will soon be my president and I have the utmost respect for him and the office he will hold. Michelle Obama seems like a lovely, intelligent woman and I think she'll be a gracious, active and beloved first lady. It will also be nice to have young children in the white house again.

I don't intend to indulge in Obama bashing such as the 8 years of Bush bashing that went on. President Bush kept us safe for 8 years and I'm grateful for that. If this is the presidency that many feel will pull us all together it's time for all this Palin bashing to stop. It's my hope that she'll be a part of the future of the Republican party but right now I think she's earned a well-deserved rest.

Not sure what a hockey mon is - but I still like a lot of the things she stands for - she has her faults - just like others do - didn't vote for her but it is a positive , from my point, for a woman to be considered - makes me, as a woman, at least feel some hope - I'll leave it at. Th:)ere are all kinds of things done illegally during elections - unless I know them all - which I don't want to - nor do I have the time - they are reported here and there - some are just made a bigger deal than needed - sure hope she donates them - I could use some really nice clothes.

$150,000 plus $20,000--$40,000 (spent on her husband) was donated to the RNC.she selected the clother at various shops with the help of a consultant and took them with her. The Rnc as required by law listed the purchases on the campaign reporting form as required.The media picked up this info and made it public. The Rnc now has to retreive all of the purchases from her and her family and dispose of them.

My point is Palin had her own clothes before she was selected so i see no reason why this large amount of public money had to spent on changing her looks.
It seems that this was just another blunder by the mccain campaign.

imomartin, I'm sorry you didn't understand the spirit of my post. I was very disappointed that McCain didn't win and I could vent my disappointment by bashing Barack Obama. I could go on and on about his questionable associations and other things that came out during the campaign. Instead, I choose to look forward and hope for a bright future. Your continued criticism of Sarah Palin is beginning to sound very petty. It's hard to be a good loser but it seems like you're having a hard time being a gracious winner.

Perhaps you should contact the RNC and ask that whatever money you contributed to the clothing be returned to you.

Very nice post. I am a very firm democrat so I obviously have different political opinions than yourself, but I personally respect anyone who takes the time to get educated and make their voice heard at the polls regardless of the party they support.

I do agree with alot of the Palin criticism, I don't think highly of her at all, but I have a great fondness for McCain and would show nothing but respect for him had be been elected. Your willingness to be disappointed in McCain's loss but gracious in Obama's victory speaks very highly of your character and I admire that.

Palin proved herself to be intellectually lazy as far as National Politics and the workings of our government is concerned. As a current Governor of a State i found her ignorance unacceptable for a person appointed as a vp candidate.
When the public got a clearer picture of her, 65% rejected her as fit for the job. So it is not just me that rejected her.

Her party i perdict will be out of office for some time as the country has moved past the idea of red states and blue states in favor of the United States.

for someone who is so vocal about staying on topic, you certainly can't leave things alone can you? you think she's ignorant? LOL -- Mr. Obama said he had visited 57 (maybe even 58) states! LOL

Oh please, Justice Sachel do not misunderstand my concern as being a repudiation of your most esteemed and deserved character, as that was truly not my intention. I know that you would resist all temptation to devour every savory morsel no matter how great the temptation might be. However, even the watchful eyes of the Court can not always prevent a crime. We must sometimes. with the assistance of strong drink and deliciously filled bellies, engage in fleeting or sometimes prolonged periods of repose. It is at those times that the criminals may take advantage of our states. Let us ever be mindful of the fact that all are not possessed with our levels of intestinal self-restraint. If you have taken it for safe-keeping so that I will be able to delight in it at some later date, then I understand and inform you to bring on that rum cake.

I can't think of anyone more suitable for the title of Mistress of Accumulating Charges or MAC. :)
