31. #23 Who is out of touch?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.26.08)
"millions of people are practically starving in the united states" Oh really? Show me all these starving people. I don't see any of them here in Colorado. Are they all in California and Florida for the winter?
32. They are buying Haloween wigs. Hahaha
Janet Keno ,   Baltimore   (10.26.08)
They dont realize that these are Halloween wigs are meant for a good laugh and not more but some are ignorant.
33. OMG, does it work! A testimonial
INCognito ,   Brooklyn   (10.27.08)
Before I bought the wig, my husband would shtup me only once a week - on Shabbes. However, the wig really helped our marriage. Now, she shtups me two, and sometimes three times a week. He also makes me say sentences about economy and call me maverick. But for the sake of marriage, I am prepared to pretend I am a shikse candidate for the VP.
34. 21 Larry: President Bush makes $400,000. and year. He needs
Rivkah   (10.27.08)
something to spend his money on, so the $60G wedding dress was reasonable to them when it would not be to most people. I disagree that the poor are damed. The Bible says the opposite. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle (small gate) than for a rich man to go to heaven." "Not many noble...are called." So the poor have the advantage of God's sympathy and the Bible says that if you mock the poor, you are mocking your Maker. When people die, they are asked if they visited the Lord in prisons, clothed the Lord, fed the Lord, etc. He is referring to the poor. So God has a greater concern for the poor than the rich. Proverbs said the rich forget God and the poor curse God, so it is better not to be rich or poor.
35. 23 Larry: The poor in California can get free food from
Rivkah   (10.27.08)
the US Agriculture Department that is distributed once a month by churches. They can go to Food Banks to get free food. The WIC program for Women, Infants, and Children distributes free food, too. Then there are free soup kitchens at churches and food stamps and welfare. All anyone has to do to get a Social Security pension is to say they are an alcoholic, drug addict, or pretend to be mentally ill and drool. So where are the starving people in the United States? The beggers at the street corners look well fed, if dirty. And then there are garbage cans near fast food restaurants that are good to go for a meal.
36. Natural???
sara   (10.27.08)
Naturally plain, naturally un attractive and naturally un dignified like all the others mentioned. That style like the woman herself, needs desperate ongoing upkeep. Doesn't help much . Clothes and haircut, that shout for attention, like the woman herself, says it all. Sad.
37. #33 Was that your attempt at humor?
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.27.08)
No wonder you remain incognito.
38. pailin's hair
sas ,   israel   (10.27.08)
and I thought that the haredi do not watch TV or read the daily paper.
39. According to some hair and wardrobe is politics?
Petra ,   usa   (10.27.08)
what a hoot! Women in politics are hated by most everyone. Evidence? Both Hillary and Palin are used for hatred towards women in politics, no matter the party. Ah, if they only had balls! hmm then would their critics be happy? I forget which American politician was so shabbily dressed that his constituents bought him new clothes as not to be embarassed by him. Anyone remember his name? LOL< maybe they'd be happpier if she dressed like Ghandi, in a diaper?
40. # 20 MaMa Rivkah can't apologize,
Petra ,   usa   (10.27.08)
her messianic faith convinces her she knows everything, and knows more than all Jews, lol, isn't that funny? Poor dear, she has had a terrible life, I'm sure this is her only comfort. While everyone's free to voice an opinion, her's is no more valid than the rest of us. All opinons are worth what you pay for them, nada. Apologies have to mean "I'm sorry"> No sorrow from her but lots of opinions, like all of us.
41. 39,40 Petra: Hillary Clinton got 18 million votes and
Rivkah   (10.27.08)
won the nomination but it was stolen from her when the DNC did not count votes from Michigan or Florida on a technicality, so that the nomination could be given to a Black closet Muslim, closet Communist who hates America, particularly White people, as evidenced by his twenty year membership in a Black hate church whose loyalty is to Africa. The ELS codes at www.biblecodedigest found that the word President was connected to Hillary Clinton's name. ELS code prophecies can be changed if a factor is changed, unlike surface Bible text prophecies. So I disagree that women in politics are hated by most everyone. They are hated by many, but keep on truckin'. Thank you for calling me MaMa Rivkah. I do try to be a mother to the people God loves who are Jews in their hearts which includes grafted on Gentiles who honor a Saturday Shabbat and believe in Adonai or Yeshua as the coming Messiah. Those of the root of the tree of faith look to Adonai coming. Those on the grafted on branch look to Yeshua coming. The Lord and his Messiah son have many names and many titles since they are the greatest in the universe. The Lord chose for his Son to be Jewish, from the tribe of Judah, of all the descendants of Abraham.
42. # 34 Rivkah...Sarah Palin listens to me.
Larry ,   zefat israel   (10.27.08)
She was photographed wearing Denim jeans .
43. #34 Bush is worth every cent...NOT.
Larry ,   zefat israel   (10.27.08)
44. # 31 can you not read?
Larry ,   zefat israel   (10.27.08)
I said PRACTICALLY did I not? go forth from your Ivory Tower and see the real America and talk to real americans ,not the elderly retirees in Florida and Miami.
45. hey larry.
giliah ,   jerusalem, israel   (10.28.08)
Palin's wardrobe used during her campaign does not belong to her, and will be auctioned off for charity. Obama, who has spent more on his campaign than any presidential candidate in the history of the United States, spent millions of dollars for some greek columns to grace his stage while making a speech. He has already spent millions on what he feels is his inevitable acceptance speech. A bit preemptive, no? Palin's favorite place to shop is a consignment store in Anchorage, Alaska. These attacks are being made on Palin for two reasons. First reason: she is a woman. Second reason: she is the republican vice presidential nominee. Obama and the democrats have spent more than enough money on smear campaigns and smear ads to feed all of your millions of starving people in the United States. As far as her hair, I think it's great that wigs are being bought to mimic her style. If she is elected as vice president she will inevitably become a style icon. Maybe not to the likes of Jackie O, but up there.
46. 42 Larry: She sure did listen to you!
Rivkah   (10.29.08)
47. Is she Bald?
Dennis ,   USA   (11.02.08)
My grandmother had one thay was a bit on the light purple shade side some. It was kinda weird. Went well with her winged tip glasses. Get the picture?
