Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Fun with Julia

"Julia" is the "composite female" with which the Obama campaign is attempting to secure the women's vote.


Not the vote of strong, liberated women, but the vote of those women, I suppose, who want a life of dependency and want government to be some composite of parent and spouse.


"Julia" is a rather pitiful American specimen, so people are having fun with her:


- The Corner: ‘Julia’


- The cradle-to-grave, government-supported existence of “Julia”


- Insty: Who the hell is Julia?


- Driscoll:  #Julia Meets Room 101

I reveal the secret: Obama's Julia is a plastic life-sized, blow-up doll. Michelle is totally pi$$ed.

Is Baracky saying that women are incompetent, and stupid?

Waiting for Sarah's response with great anticipation.

So, regarding the 1984 connection, is Barack Orwell's Big Brother or is he Julia's Winston? If the latter, did he thank her for her love? And will he betray her as did Winston in the novel when he was faced with the dreaded Room 101?

Julia explains to Winston that "sometimes...they threaten you with something — something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, 'Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to so-and-so.' ... And after that, you don't feel the same towards the other person any longer".

Poor Julia.

Perhaps he's Julia's child.
