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.
BD: Interesting pic. Looks like a tough era to be a natural blonde, eh?
Observation test: What was the temperature outside when the pic was taken?
Answer:
Below freezing. Did you see what's on the tire in front of the main car?
Snow chains!
Oh, wait -- this just in. I tracked down the pic to its original site and it turns out there's a caption that goes along with it:
"Ooo, I got some icky grease on me!"
"I broke a nail!"
"I'm cold!"
"My hair's a mess!"
Women are so timeless. :)
In other news, I just wanted to say thanks again for posting that Roosevelt quote. As I've noted before, the difference between Michelle's and Maggie's is that Michelle's informs, but Maggie's inspires. As I mentioned afterward, that one little quote inspired me to rent and watch three documentaries on TR. That, in turn, inspired me to write the following, which, hopefully, will inspire others to learn about this great man, and to take away from it a fresh perspective on the changing roles of the political parties.

And the 'Terminator' link at the top of the page is kind of cool. Well, scary but cool. Lots of bloggers commented on the 'killer robots' story, but no one tied it in with another story that came out at the same time.
