Ya see 'em all over the place. Beautiful ultra high heels, pencil skirts and pretty faces are all the rage and the guys are likin' the looks of it too.
Yep, Sarah Palin has left her mark on the lower 48.
I love it~
Last night we noticed two young women walking into the restaurant ...one wearing slacks and flats...the other clicking the tiles with her high-high heels, pencil skirt reveling legs...totally no competition...the clickin' heels stole the show.
Oh course, some of these girls gotta learn how to walk in these heels...
Has to be a notable achievement~ ...to now walk tip-toe after wearing tennis shoes since they were toddlers. It'll take awhile. God Bless 'em...they'll catch on and love it.
~ GOOD ROLE MODEL SARAH!

Do doubt women don't care about the politics of a guy, only their looks.

I don't know this Joe guy, but that Tommy was the best looking guy and still is.

What a wonderful friendship they have..
Could be that because you and I have known each other since first grade, that I don't ever remember thinking of you as "Tommys Sister". .....think I was the only girl in Fairfield High School that did not have a crush on him.
~Have to ask, did you have a crush on Joe?

Great read.........well articulated by both and most entertaining....have you met your brother's counterpart?
Judi, Mobile, Al
Yes, Judi, I was in High School and only one year behind these guys. They were and still are handsome guys, over the top smart and therefore, always most popular. My brother was so popular the only identify I had in High School was "Tommy's sister."

June, thanks for blogging these different views. Interesting. Hope you don't mind that I forwarded it to others.

June, read the blog. Very interesting comments. Mr. Obama campaigned on change, change, change. It doesn't sound like change when his first two appointments were from the Clinton era.
And though Tommy may respect Clinton for lying to protect the woman in affair, it's one thing to lie, but an entirely different thing to perjure yourself in a legal process. But we have to remember that Clinton's hero was John Kennedy. And although it didn't come out until way after his death, Kennedy had so many extra marital affairs they're still counting.
Many people have turned on George Bush. I will just offer this comment. There hasn't been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11/01 and I believe that is because Bush cared deeply about his country and its people.
Of course, I am a very conservative Republican. However, I am an American before all else.

From Tom Adkins
Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America 's flirtation with neo socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.
For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it's time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright's "God Damn America ," Al Sharpton's Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson's rainbow racism. Cornell West? You're a fraud. Go home. All those "black studies" programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional B lack Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I'm waiting.
Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please.no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah.pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.
To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I'm still waiting for the first black French President.
And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I've always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You're poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin' butt on the couch and complain "Da Man is keepin' me down," allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone's great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.
It's time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful.don't trip on streaking. There ya go, don't be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It's filthy.
In fact, Obama's ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O'Henry tale, Obama's spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it's own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama' s election has validated American conservatism!
So, listen carefully.Wham!!!
That's the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.
However, despite my glee, there's apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn't that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it's time to start spreading the guilt around.

Two Grumpy Old Men Share Views
From my MAIL BAG~ more on the election...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,
You have been drinking too much urine colored kool-aid or smelling way too much avgas...or maybe both.
Obama is a Marxist radical who has supported/endorsed black power, anti Semitism, anti-white racists, and thinks America is the ass-hole of the world. Having said that, I do support his thinking about a NCAA play-of, rather then the BCS.
If Nixon and Carter couldn't bring down America, maybe, just maybe, this misguided prick won't screw up the foundation.
And I'm really surprised that you are " gratified to see how the hopes and aspirations of so many have been raised by Obama's vision and his ability to articulate it”.
You don't happen to have any specifics, do you?
I didn't hear any and was thinking that maybe your interpretation of his "hope and change" shit might clear the smoke. You will have to work harder to eliminate the mirrors.
I'll grant you that the expectations of those with the kool-aid colored tongues are high, but I don't think he can live up to those expectations. Not his fault. He didn't promise anything but hope and change...he just didn't say what he was going to change. You might want to hold your nose and keep your hand on your wallet when he starts changing things.
Now he has to reveal his true agenda.
I'm not sure I'm going to like it and you might not either. He can only redistribute so much wealth and when the alligators don't get fed, they start coming out of the water and looking for that redistributing hand.
Look at the Automakers. Congress lays on tons of regulations, no one wants the sorry-ass cars, and now Congress has to bail them out. Change that! The US taxpayers have to bail them out. When they were greedy companies with their foot on the employee’s neck and producing gas-guzzlers, they paid billions in taxes. Now the employee is out of a job and digging deep to bail his old employer out of debt. And Congress blames the Auto industry! Those idiots could screw up an anvil.
One of the problems with your "Haves and Have Nots" crap is the service charge that the Feds put on the "largess" processing. And this "Haves and Have Nots" crap is pure Pinko Commie.
One against the other.
Smells like Russia 1917. Obama is just another socialist that thinks that the economic and social disasters of past socialist governments were caused by leaders that didn't know how do it right.
W's policies aren't carp, unless congress funds them. Last time I looked at the Constitution, the President can't spend a penny that congress doesn't give him. And the last time I looked at Congress it was full of Dems.
Remember Vietnam? Nixon had the war and congress cut the funding. The war died quicker than the thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodians left to fend for themselves. Killing Fields.
I too hope and pray and Obama is a leader. But most of the buttheads in DC are herders not leaders. Who likes paying taxes? No one. Would anyone like to see their tax money spent wisely? Everyone. It ain't that congress isn't getting enough money...it's how they spend it! They make drunken sailors look frugal.
You think we are going to see major changes? That place is too bureaucratic. And when Obama and the buttheads don't get things done, they will blame the less liberal buttheads and say they are obstructionist.
Tommy, if you think people that strap bombs on their kids and tell them to go see a movie, won't strap a nuke on an oil tanker; you are smoking that rope again. You are a little too casual about "primarily suicide bombers".
And for all who are reading...
Tommy and I have had this political gun battle going on for years. He was the smart one in class and a better football player. But I was and am better looking and didn't have to chase eighth graders when we were seniors. And I was a better pilot. I love and respect him, but he sure is tiresome. I think he got that at Auburn. He damn sure didn't get it in the Marines.

Joe - I love you like a brother, but it appears that your grumpiness is getting worse as time goes by. You seem to suggest in your reply that I, once again, have been "taken-in" and totally duped by yet another smooth-talking liberal/socialist skunk. I can tell you that I have never been "taken-in" nor duped by one. For example, when Bill Clinton wagged his finger at the TV camera and said, "I never had sex with that woman" - I knew he was lying - but I respected him for adhering to the time-honored southern male tradition of always denying any accusation of having extra-marital sex - if for no other reason - to protect the honor and reputation of the woman you are having sex with.
Now, Joe, I do respect your superior skills as an airplane pilot - and know of the reputation you enjoy among other retired Air Force fighter pilots... and even recognize your good looks and popularity with the women... not to mention your superior golf game that allows you to take large sums of money from suckers who are naive enough to bet with you... BUT may I suggest that you need to adopt a broader perspective on things... and you must get over this notion that anyone who doesn't agree with everything Rush Limbaugh says is automatically labeled a Pinko-Commie.
As for as my blaming George W - I am merely charging him with "leadership failure". If I learned anything as a young Lieutenant in the Marine Corps (almost 50 years ago) it is this: "any time something bad happens in any organization - IT IS ALWAYS A CLEAR-CUT CASE OF PISS-POOR LEADERSHIP"...

Tuesday Nite in Lagging Economy
Entering the beautiful Brazilian Restaurant, more than ready for the "rodeiza" of Brazilian foods, we were surprised that at 6 PM on a Tuesday evening, the restaurant already had an hour and half wait list.
WHAT?
We were actually stunned ~ no room in the sprawling place on a Tuesday night, early hour, in an expensive per person minimum here in the middle of the well advertised lagging economy~ ??? Where is this lagging economy? Do you think we are all out spending what we have before it is taxed away and redistributed?
The Chesapeake Cheese Cake Factory had a long wait list as well. The Sports Bar Restaurant offered seats only at the bar~ like we wanted to be within full view of the blaring TV's~ we returned to wait for a seafood dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory. There were entire families out waiting for tables. Could they be expecting redistribution soon?

And More Comments~
June,
I enjoyed reading the email comments on your blog concerning the election.
I just finished a book last night "The Given Day" by Dennis Lehane. This work of fiction takes place after the First World War in Boston and involves immigrants and Black people whose lives intermingle. It was the perfect book to read right now at this election as it involves political corruption and race relations. I highly recommend it.

The following are a few emails received about Tom's Blog
June:
Tommy was very eloquent in his thoughts on the Obama win. I'm glad you are edging your thoughts towards his perspective and you removed your (what must have been).... "counterpoint." Tommy's sentiment echoes duplicates mine, only his writing is much more uplifting.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
The blog that I took down stated in part...:
"Miraculously we have made it through the election with all liberal friendships intact. Yes, we threw bombs at each other, but neither gave an inch on our views. The election came and went, and the liberals won.
It is reported that he received votes from 40% of the American population...40% of Americans voted for Socialism and I bet most didn't even know it or know what it is at all. ~
I received an email about the meaning of socialism from a Russian descendant...
here it is...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another email came from Wetumpkia, Alabama~
Saundra H. named a long list of changes she has seen in her 70 years of life. The last being a black President.
Living in the Heart of Dixie, she saw it all.
June, I am amazed to think back to all that has transpired in my lifetime.
"White" and "Colored" signs over public water fountains and restrooms; separate schools; separate movies, clubs, separate areas on a public bus, separate floors in a hospital and separate areas pf a town to live. Now, we have a black President.
I enjoy your blog very much.
This election was too important to not include words in a personal blog. It is very personal. I think we are about to see a few more changes that will be very personal to everyone, black and white.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS ON TOPPED THEM ALL~
June,
What's all this mention of color of Obama's skin? I thought to SEE/NOTICE or MENTION color was racist and not politically correct. Now, looks as if he has again segregated the races. What do you think?

"He may want to redistribute wealth and power some but he is far from socialist. Having spent a significant amount of time in the former Soviet Union, I know socialism firsthand (everyone gets the same wages, all homes, land, and buildings are owned by the state). Some forms of market socialism are already in place in the US (especially production and distribution of agriculture)."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another email~
June: Sounds like we'll get a little Obama-drama after all!
AP - "Barack Obama is signaling a shift in tactics and temperament as he moves from candidate to president-elect, picking sharp-elbowed Washington insiders for top posts. His choice Thursday for White House chief of staff — Rahm Emanuel, a fiery partisan who doesn't mind breaking glass and hurting feelings — is a significant departure from the soft-spoken, low-key aides that "No-Drama Obama" has surrounded himself with during his campaign."
