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.

Support the Troops

With pin-up calendars for hospitalized vets. (h/t, Iowahawk)

This healthy-lookin gal Gina has really nice hats.

And what could be more health-promoting than cute girls?

You can buy one for yourself too, if you want one - but it's not tax-deductible. If you go there, tell 'em Dave from Iowahawk sent ya. Dave deserves the credit.

I believe that Gina's morale campaign will go our veterans a great deal of good. A winsom lass,classsically attired in the WWII style of pin up girl is tastefully done. Her robust persona, beautiful smile, delicate skin of alabaster denoting a lady will have the men up in no time at all.
I believe we should all get behind this endeavor.

You may be entirely behind it, but Bird Dog is almost always on top of it.

I always thought Linda Darnell in Zorro with Tyrone Power was the liv'n end.

Her tragic end was horrific but showed that she had great courage as well as good looks

I don't know how we missed this but with three (3) pictures of women on this Saturday edition we need a

BABE OFF ..vote early vote often ...since my fav, Ann Coulter isn't featured I'm going to vote for GINA, the saucy sailor-capped faux forties pin up.
I should say that I'm casting this vote on the most primal of motives given that I know nothing of GINA's IQ. But she is an eye-cutie.
