You may recall Sarah Palin saying this in Thursday night's debate regarding the genocide in Sudan: "When I and others in the legislature found out that we had some millions of dollars [of Permanent Fund investments] in Sudan,...

soccermom Thanks for the BR! I guess I lost track of this discussion, so in response to devlyn's question...I wasn't really so much as offended by the fact she called herself a "hockeymom", because most of us hockeymoms and soccermoms are very on top of things, I was...

soccermom The economy will get worse before it gets better, I'm just hoping that people will see this as part of the process and not automatically blame Obama. I have a feeling that 4 years from now we will all be in better shape.

soccermom Taskr, it's not unfair to make that comparison at all. The election in 2000 was an absolute nightmare, and I really think that it wasn't because liberals hated Bush from the beginning, I think it's that they hated the perception that was attached to our...

soccermom If he was "refused by the white man" he wouldn't have been elected. I'm sorry I don't share your views, I truly believe that he will be good for all.

soccermom There's not too much I can thank the current president for, except for the fact that if he wouldn't have done such a miserable job people would not be looking so forward to Obama's inauguration day!

soccermom I'm not planning on using any of it, we have adopted a strict cash only policy in this house. But having a higher credit limit without having a big balance means a lower debt to income ratio, and will make my credit score better. I have decent credit, but this...

soccermom I think regardless of who was elected we would've seen the stock market decline. During McCains last week or two of campaigning there was hope that the 3rd quarter results wouldn't be as bad as expected, and when the quarter ended on Sept. 31 we started...

soccermom I have never been one of those who considered Obama the "messiah". And I believe I did mention that part of my good fortune was due to my own hard work. I guess the point I was trying to make when I started this post, and obviously didn't do a very good job...

soccermom Maybe I have my math wrong, but I'm 34 years old. Wouldn't that have made you 8? How did you vote for Reagan? I took things into my own hands this year and became very invovled on a local level with the Obama campaign. I enjoyed every minute of it, and hope...

soccermom What on earth gave you the idea that it was McCain/Palin that said these things? I think Lloyd was abundantly clear. And regardless of who said these vile things the point is that it is disrespectful to a woman who worked hard for everything she had, who...

soccermom I was about 6 years old when Reagan was elected, but I do dimly remember some of that. Maybe we could find some of the people that thought that way and ask them how that worked out for them? LOL

I can't stand the time change. It was great when I was younger and it meant an hour extra bar time, or an hour extra sleep. Now it just means that my kids will wake up at their usual time, only instead of 6am it'll be 5am. No...

soccermom I heard somewhere that this was going to be the last year for it, something about saving energy. I'll have to check into it and see if I was right. But in the meantime it's just hell getting my kids on their "normal" schedule. My three year old wants to go to...

Today, teachers are blamed for the decline in moral values. No doubt, education is the all round development of the young, which includes the inculcation of moral values. But are teachers to be held solely responsible for the...

soccermom Thank you for the best response! This is one subject I am very passionate about, our children are our future, and in my view, most people don't take enough time to realize that these are the people we will depend on when we get older.
