What is your favorite Stephen King book?

Opalina143 @opalina143 (1240) • Morristown, New Jersey 8 Apr 09

I find it hard to pick one. I like the Stand, it is really a great epic novel. But I think that The Shining is the scariest. I haven't read any of the Dark Tower books. I also liked Misery. I sometimes think King's older stuff was...

collieluv28 "The Stand" was awsome & definitely my favorite novel of his. I haven't read his recent stuff because my taste has changed. I find them too graphic now for some reason. Let's not forget his short stories. I enjoyed "The Body" which was made into an equally...

Now This is Funny - Joe the Plumber in a Snuggie!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 28 Mar 09

Apparently Americans for Tax Reform's Derek Hunter's idea to prove conservatives have a sense of humor is to get as many of them as possible to pose wearing a Snuggie. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20558.html So...

collieluv28 I guess Joe the Plumber will never, ever go away! Can't he & Sarah Palin put their Snuggies on & go hide on an island somewhere? Seriously, these things look ridiculous but I guess they are the thing to have. I'd rather wrap a blanket around me & deal with the...

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 25 Mar 09

My mom has ducks for over the past 6 months I have fallen in love with them and really wanted my own but thought since I live in the city I wouldn't be able to have them. But, after some checking I found out that I could have...

collieluv28 How fun that must be! We can't have ducks here but we have them in what they call playa lakes here in our town. They are man-make lakes & pretty much rely on rainfall to keep them full. They are terribly low right now because it has been very dry lately. There...

Former First Lady "Totally Forgot" President's Address to Congress

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 4 Mar 09

I guess maybe for Lady Laura Bush it's "Out of sight, out of mind"; the recently departed First Lady told ABC News she did not watch President Obama's address to Congress on Tuesday night because she "totally forgot about it."...

collieluv28 I'm pretty sure that neither Laura nor George had any interest at all in seeing Obama's address to Congress. They've had it with politics for a while. Of course I could be wrong. George W. probably still thinks that the world adores him. I did watch the...

Pentagon Lifts Ban On Coverage of Fallen Soldiers

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 26 Feb 09

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Pentagon will lift its longtime ban on media coverage of the flag-draped coffins of war victims arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, according to a senior U.S. defense official with direct...

collieluv28 I am in agreement with lifting the ban. I did feel that George W. Bush wanted the deaths from the Iraqi war hidden somehow. I am glad that the decision will be left to the family, however. Some may want their privacy. There should be a written policy that...

Would you like a part-time job in the sun looking after an island!!

BubblyIan @BubblyIan (750) 12 Jan 09

This sounds like an ideal job for someone with no family ties - part-time 12 hours per month for 6 months free accommodation and $100,000 salary!What do you think? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7823812.stm

collieluv28 Wow, that sounds terrific! A dream job indeed. I suppose you would have to enjoy being alone - sounds like it's a one person job. You would have to be pretty healthy as well, being that there are no doctors around. That would worry me (am I a killjoy or...

Palin Pardons Turkey (While Others Are Slaughtered On Camera...)

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 20 Nov 08

That's right, Governor Sarah Palin just did the same thing the President does every year around this time - she pardoned a turkey. The only problem is, while she was holding a press conference there were other turkeys being...
