Politics
A few of us have followed political events since 9/11 with great interest.
In that vein, the Democrats have aired a commercial that is causing quite a stir: positive, negative and a shrug of the cynical shoulders. If you'd like to see it, you can go he http://www.democrats.org/truth/ It didn't go well on my lousy modem. grin It's not airing everywhere, and some television stations have refused to air it, according to news reports on NPR. While there, I filled out a comment section and a survey. I blasted the democrats for the survey (more pablum when what we need are serious questions); and blasted the democrats for not taking strong stands, for passing Patriot I, for helping to erode workers rights, for passing laws with no teeth. Amongst other things, I also told them to "get a voice and stop mumbling." By the way, I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. There. That felt better. Dianne |

Thanks for sharing Dianne. I haven't seen it on any station here in Florida
and since Jeb, our Governor, is W's brother, I wonder if we ever will. Lucille "Dianne Lewandowski" wrote in message ... A few of us have followed political events since 9/11 with great interest.

It only seems fair for the Dems to have a scandal about Bush lying like the GOP had over Clinton. I am biased, I believe more in the values of the Dems than those of the GOP. But that's my right, right?

I don't think the Democrats stand for anything, anymore. I use to "lean" in that direction - though I was raised a Republican. Basically, I'm an "independent" with a liberal bent. After what I went through this past year, I trust few in Washington DC. My eyes were opened to what has been going on the past 25 years or so. I was shocked, dismayed. Far too many are in the pockets of corporate America. They only cooked Clinton because he lied under oath. They'll have to get Bush for lying to Congress. That will be tough to prove/do. Republicans are in control. The citizenry has a very short memory and tire of issues quickly. This isn't glamorous enough, and our soldiers aren't dying by the thousands. Dianne |

Dianne One death is one death too many. How about the Iraqis who died by the thousands? Oh but I'll really start ranting and foaming at the mouth. So my current quickie project is with hand-dyed variated purples over a Fossil Fern lavender. A friend of mine is having a rough time, and she said "I just have to get back up, 'cause I can't quilt lying down." So I'm doing two of these sayings, and she's going to turn them into quilted wallhanging. She'll send me one back. Fossil Fern is a trademark way of making a hand-dyed batik cotton. It ought to be loverly when done. -georg |

She's going to do another in English quilting. Don't know what that is, exactly, but I'll find out soon enough. Why is it that people either LOVE purple, or hate it? I'm "learning", very timidly, to like it. Maybe cuz I'm getting more gray? I like it that my husband is color blind and thinks it is blonde, but when I look in the mirror, I can't find any light brown/ash blond stuff at the top and sides anymore. grin Dianne A friend of mine is having a rough time, and she said "I just have to get back up, 'cause I can't quilt lying down."

Dianne- I just loved reading your post...it may have been about several different things, but somehow it just all melts together in a wisdom-filled sort-a-way. Thanks for that. By the way, I am a purple-holic too and you're right...you either love it or hate it, it seems, although there are a lot more purple things to purchase now than before.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that, Linda.
I have to admit (and I've not seen that many), it's the first time I've been acquainted with cross stitch for a crazy patch. Is that your own tatting? gotta admit, I really loved the colors!
