Heh. One thing I don't quite understand - he always goes on about "princesses" who demand to have big money spent on them. In my observation these represent a rather small fraction of womanhood. Are these these only ones Shades meets? If so, is that because these are the only ones he's attracted to? Methinks he protesteth too much.

Had to google up that one.... 72.14.221.104 MoneyPenny, Is that where you got the idea from? Shades comes across to me as “ honest “. He rendered consideration where others are shooting from their hips. Without looking at anything which might degrade their SI community babble standings. For that alone I am grateful. < in a white collar prison, probably here in Florida > Would not speak against him.Quite the contrary.I suppose one would learn there more about Wall Street Affairs as here on SI. IS he a resident of Bocca Rocca? by any chance? Kind Regards Eddy Blinker

What a bunch of crap you believe. Message 22340686 Message 22311675 tompaine.com In Salon's War Room (subscription only), Tim Grieve reminds just how big a deal the president made out of his commitment to liberating the women of Iraq: "Remember Safia TALEB al-Suhail? She was the Iraqi woman George W. Bush trotted out for his State of the Union address earlier this year, the daughter of a man murdered by Saddam Hussein who provided the feel-good moment of the president's performance when, sitting up there in the balcony with Laura Bush, she embraced the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq." Grieve continues: We wonder if she'll be invited back for next year's speech. Bush says he knows that Iraq's still unfinished constitution will be a victory for women because Condoleezza Rice told him so. But if the president were to check in with Suhail, he might come away with a different story. According to a Reuters report, Suhail, who is now Iraq's ambassador to Egypt, believes that the draft Iraqi constitution represents a major setback for the women of her country. "When we came back from exile, we thought we were going to improve rights and the position of women," she said. "But look what has happened -- we have lost all the gains we made over the last 30 years. It's a big disappointment." She is concerned -- as many Iraqis are -- that the draft constitution allows religious sects to run Iraq's family courts, likely leaving decisions about divorce, inheritance and other issues important to women in the hands of Islamic clerics. "This will lead to creating religious courts," she said. "But we should be giving priority to the law." Suhail said the United States has sold out Iraq's women in the drive to get a constitution -- any constitution -- approved by Iraq's National Assembly. "We have received news that we were not backed by our friends, including the Americans," she said. "They left the Islamists to come to an agreement with the Kurds." Just to be clear: I find not the tiniest shred of satisfaction in having been right about Bush's (un)willingness to defend Iraqi women's rights. Yifat Susskind of MADRE wrote for TomPaine.com recently about how Bush's war has left Iraqi women "worse off today...then they were under the notoriously repressive regime of Saddam Hussein." Some noble cause. I really liked that woman who came from IRAQ and talked at bush's SOTU MoneyPenny - and how she later said bush set back women's rights by 30 years thanks to his meddling! Now if that viscious lie you said about me were true I would be cheering bush for knocking that woman down eh? I love all people - I am annoyed by spoiled princesses though moneypenny because I have had to endure thier sillyness for so long in my life - my 2 sisters at the top of the pyramid on down to the silly daughters and friends of various wealthy associates. If you think I am a misogynist - you should meet my mother! femalemisogynist.blogspot.com In the story below the MALE room-mate was found to be a female in disguise - talk about women hating women!! washingtonpost.com ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A woman and her roommate were charged with starving the woman's 9-year-old daughter, who weighed just 42 pounds when she was found, was locked up all day and was forced to wear a filthy diaper, authorities said. Melissa Samoraj, 27, and Raymond LaFountain, 31, were arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated child abuse. The girl was so emaciated that her spine and ribcage were showing when state child welfare officials took her June 30, police said.

(AP) The girl also had her hands bound behind her, was locked in a bedroom all day and wore a diaper that went unchanged for hours, officials said. She told police it was punishment for bad behavior. "It's a very disturbing case," police Detective Joe DeLuca said. "You see very few like this." I don't like to see anyone suffer needlessly - but in my group of peers Moneypenny it has been spoiled princesses that cause the most stress and aggravation day after day after day.
