The Pope in France...
And fashion....
Pictured Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni as they await the Holy Father. Notice the length of her skirt, the sober tone of her suit, and the flat shoes... very chic. (Also, we see what she wears beneath. C'est dommage.) The story.
Sarah Palin - she's got the job.
Sarah Palin did much better with the Charlie Gibson interview tonight. I think Amanda Priestly would hire her now....
You know what won me over? She admires Hillary Clinton.
.
But there is still time before the election.

Sarah Palin - she misses.
Jeopardy answer: "What is the Bush Doctrine?"
.
So far, what I saw of Charlie Gibson's interview with Governor Palin - she misses. I don't think she is ready - I doubt Amanda Priestly would even hire her.
.
And it makes me angry that McCain didn't know better.
.
.
It's not over however.
Some quick notes...
About policy, I suppose..
I can't get into St.Blogs or Abbey-Roads2 again. I don't know if they are working on the server or what - but I'm not happy about it.
.
I may open comments in a day or so - although it is a great mortification not to get responses to what I post - I have no idea if people are still reading me, and I get none of the affirmation positive comments provide and therefore no ego satisfaction either. Yeah - so maybe I should continue to keep them closed.
.
I'm already so tired of politics - I have a short attention span. I'm back to square one - I don't like any of them and I think they are all cut from the same cloth... and I don't trust them. I do love posting provocative stuff in their regard however. I just love to see respectable people get all upset and defensive about condoning the immoral behavior of their favorite politicians - you know, their war monger candidates, as well as their communist peaceniks and bad Catholics, along with the candidate's horrid parenting skills, drug use, illegitimate children, and so on. Double-standards rule dude!
.
One thing - besides AR2 - that is pretty much out of my control, is what I post. I always post honestly, truthfully, and exactly what I think, and though I do not betray confidences or identify people who may inspire a particular post - I will post my opinion about things you show and tell me - if I deem it important enough to do so.
.
Please remember however - it is just my opinion and it is also my blog.
.
Love you.
The Anniversary
A great sign appeared.
.
Remembering where you were when it happened is one way of dealing with it. Everything about the event is as vivid and clear in my mind as the New York sky that day. As journalists reported live from the scene, one could hear the plop of the bodies of those who leaped from the towers to escape the intense heat and flames of the inferno the planes ignited.
.
And then the towers collapsed... pancaked down to nothing... the bodies of the dead never to be found.

Famous 20th Century Unwed Mothers.
And the astrological connection to Juno.
.
Catherine Deneuve bore a child from each of her affairs - well, maybe two them - the first with Roger Vadim, the second from her relationship with Marcello Mastroianni. That was shocking for the middle of the 20th century.
.
Worse
.
Loretta Young had an affair with Clark Gable and became pregnant, disappeared from the lime-light, only to return with two adopted children. The scandal was covered up.
.
Juno
.
Yet the phenomenon of having a baby out of wedlock may be quickly explained by using astrology. (Except in the case of Madonna, where two of her fertility god's birth dates are unknown.) Juno symbolizes the love affair that does not grow into a marriage. Was this brought out in the film? Because some Christian groups who praised the film may not know of its astrological/occult connections. (Can you hear the Twilight Zone theme song now? I know!)

Don't quote me on this, but I heard that the American Girl Doll is coming out with a pregnant teen doll, where the baby just pops out when you squeeze her tummy. The doll, as well as more high profile teenagers getting pregnant, will occasion many wonderful teaching moments for your children. The doll is expected to debut this Christmas shopping season. Water and after birth not included.

Famous 20th Century Sluts
From the days before morality was held hostage by abortion.
.
In 1957 the Vatican declared Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren public sinners because they entered into illegal civil marriage with their husbands - who had obtained divorces from their first wives outside of Italy, where divorce was illegal...
.
In 1949, Ingrid Bergman, though married at the time, became pregnant by her director and lover, Roberto Rosselini and gave birth to his son. She was actually denounced by a senator from Colorado on the floor of the U.S. Senate, who called her, "a horrible example of womanhood and a powerful influence for evil."
