#1 If this is Rosie's site (as opposed to a fan site), she should hire a Web site designer who's actually graduated from elementary school.

That's because rosie thinks the Shift key is a Bush administration conspiracy. Am I the only one who thinks that rosie the riveter ought to try living her openly lezbean lifestyle in SA or Iran without the potatoe (sp?) sack wardrobe and see how far she gets? And if she makes it more than 10 seconds, she should try having a TV show there, too.

#5 Mods: It took me a few tries to figure out that you have a filter against words like "lezbean". :-)

Is this intentional?

#11 My God, Rosie. This is so bad, it's painful.
If I have a choice of listening to her raving lunacy or reading a written version, I'll, take the yap. At least I can turn that off. If I didn't know it was her, I would think it was some 15 year old girl trying to sound deep on her MySpace page...

#12 Actually, tu, Rosie's mental capacity probably isn;t much better than your average 15-year old's.

#15 Dont fear the terrorists. Theyre mothers and fathers.

I wonder if the terrorists at Beslan were fathers. I know they were mothers.

#16 The mere fact that you don't like the president for one reason or another does absolutely nothing to negate the fact of the enemy's depravity.

Which is why I absolutely cannot abide allowing a personal dislike for Bush to interfere with my patriotic duty to defend America against Islams threat.

You always have to look inside the poke, Rosie, to see if there's actually a pig in there.

Strange advice to be giving a pig, but I can deal with it.

It's the continuous stream of lies, even when the truth would have done them better.

Outstanding observation. Somehow, Islams radicals just arent on speaking terms with the truth. Whether or not it stems from taqiyya, this one inability forever cripples all credibility they might have had.

Rosie is the pluperfect example of just how derailed the liberal left is regarding Americanism.

#17 btw - I have to confess that Dan Ackroyd said that one first on SNL, referring to Michele Triola (in her Palimony suit with Lee Marvin) as a "squealing rapacious swamp sow"...I couldn't bear to use 'rapacious' in terms of Rosie, even though it has no sexual connotation. I have SOME standards

#18 "I often wonder what happened to our society in the years following 1945. We were seemingly a much happier society, more optimistic, more adventurous, and even more coherent in the days of the Great Depression and during the Second World War."

Back then we were a nation of people who had high expectations of themselves, and not-so-high expectations of others. Now, it's the other way around. We demand much from others, and insist they take responsibility (especially via the government) for our own welfare, our own safety, our own comfort, and even our own happiness; yet at the same time, we are indignant when anyone demands anything of us. We have very little responsibility for ourselves anymore; but we are accountable to others (mainly through the agency of our courts) in ways that would have been unimaginable a half-century ago.

The quality of life is not measured in terms of the misfortunes and hardships that come our way; it is measured in the grace and courage and dignity with which we face them. We used to know that. We used to be a strong people. We used to be adults.

But we've lost our way. Now, when we suffer a setback, we go looking for a scapegoat; and having found one, we sue the bastard-- and in the process, we embrace the most extravagent and degrading expression of poor-helpless-victimhood that we can muster. Or, instead of suing, we go on Oprah (at least in our minds, if not in reality) to dramatize our pain and wallow in our "hurt". Or on Jerry Springer to act out our rage and be Asshole For A Day.

What's happened to our society? We've become infantilized, that's what. And infants are not happy campers: they cry and whine a lot.
