Joe


Hey Joe, remember that the Titanic was good looking and a bit top heavy and sank quickly after hitting an iceberg.  I don't know how much of Sarah is real, but I have my doubts about her prowess in bed-I imagine hubby, when he gets the chance, is on bottom taking notes while she moans not words of love but the few words that she actually writes of her speeches, the best of which was on "Saturday Night Live" (which was written by professionals).  I wouldn't mind a roll in the hay with her if I wouldn't have to be her secretary at the same time. She also needs a new hairstyle badly! I shudder at the thought of her being president, but I think that most Americans have more sense than to elect her.  I think that her calling is to be a regular on SNL; just as she quit her job as being Governor of Alaska to make more money, I wouldn't put it past her to resign as President after a short while to make more money (ghost) writing books and being a comic-she really is a joke, though as age and gravity have their effects, should could go down in history as the first Presidents to have breast implants and nips and tucks on various other parts of her body.  Good luck Joe, just don't let your wife find out  Shocked !

Whilst it is very important to provide social welfare to the vunnerable and unemployed in our society some systems definitely need looking at. I really do believe the vast majority of people do not want to find themselves in this situation and unfortunately there is a minority who will flaunt and rob the system blind.

Ther are alot of votes contained within the social
welfare system and politicians are terrified to fully overhaul these systems in order to route out the scammers. Untill this happens people like you and I will continue to see this type of discrimination. I would on the other hand be very wary of generalisations of the social welfare system if you do decide to use this as a teaching tool for your daughter..."

Aren't you a bit paranoid about this? I think that the situation is just as the director of the program said and not some kind of liberal plot.  I think that the company that offered to donate the shoes could find a way to get shoes for those who didn't get any.  Blame them if you need to blame anyone but don't pick on the poor. I'll bet that you support Poor Sarah Palin who violated her oath of office so that she could make lots of money ($12,000,000) so far. Since she obviously doesn't spend much on getting her hair cut, maybe she can pay for the extra shoes-she could even use her contribution as a tax deduction!

And here I thought this thread from Jeannie was a need to vent because of shoes promised and her daughters disappointment.  Silly me.   Roll Eyes

I did mention the $75, Linda and Helen and I think that it is a shame that some company doesn't donate how many more pairs are needed.  $75 is a lot of money for most of us and I feel sorry for the kids that didn't get their sneakers (my age is showing!).  I still wonder what the newly, VERY rich Mrs. Palin would do if a letter was sent to her requesting the money for the kids who got left out-probably a request for a donation to her "Boston Tea  Party" movement (though I suspect that she would have been a Tory and reported the person and then thrown a party for General Powell.  The great English philosopher and member of Parliament, Edmund Burke, was against the war against the colonies-even now he could out-debate Palin who only cares about money and is the only governor who has voluntarily left office to make money.  Shame!

I'm very sorry to hear this Jeannie. I can imagine how crushed your daughter must've felt.

Sounds like they got it backwards: Those on scolarships should've been the ones to lose out if anyone had to - after all, they already GOT SCHOLARSHIPS!

I would be fuming mad as well. Start writing letters and if no satisfaction, contact the media. Fox2 LOVES to point out 'bad business conduct' and that's exactly what this is.

Lose friends over this post? Not a chance. However I think you could use a hug.  Smiley

Peace,
Carl

Jeannie,

Me, I'd go to the media (newspaper, TV - whatever is available) - and YELL - don't whisper... this is also a "teaching" lesson for "confidence" in young girls (teaches them to stand up for what's RIGHT). I "guarantee" you MY kid would get the damn tennis shoes before it was over!

And I don't know why you think anyone around here would NOT be on YOUR side in this... I'm mad enough to about it to kick some rear... I just don't believe in lying to kids about nuthin'

Can you please cease using this thread for non related political opinions regarding Ms Palin or any other politicians. You may start a different thread about politics but it's not fair to hijack this one

Thank you

The reason I was afraid that I would loose friends over this thread was due to the fact that I feel that it is unfair to allow the children that didn't have to pay to get the shoes.  I feel guilty, I guess.  I can buy Morgan shoes.  If someone that is participating cannot, maybe they should get them.  HOWEVER... I see so many people around me that have better cars, cable TV, ipods, more expensive shoes, ect.  And they are the ones who are always getting a hand out.    I don't mind helping those who need it but, I hate the way the system is taken advantage of.   

I emailed the woman in charge of the program.  She claims that they never meant to imply that ALL girls would get shoes and that they did not receive as many donations as in the past.  The information clearly stated that the price included the shoes.  My hope is that they will change how the info is presented next time.  For now I guess I will just cheer Morgan on when she runs her race...In her OLD shoes.  I'll continue to teach her the value of hard work and feeling good about earning the things one has in life. 

You all are wonderful!

Jeannie

I'll bet that those kids who didn't get the sneakers are the brighter ones and as time goes by they will get better education and better jobs and the $75 will be forgotten (or the cost of a cup of coffee by the time they are adults-the cost of a cup of tea for our English friends).

I think that she would be a perfect host for "Jerry Springer-is he still on TV?  The only problem-and it would be a big one-is that she would expect the contestants to follow her advice just like she does.  Maybe the show could be broadcast from the Alaska Psychiatric Institute (I used to live in Alaska and used to admit patients there) so that immediate medication will be available in case she goes even further off the deep end than she already is..

I wouldn't expect Sarah Palin to pay for the shoes anymore than I expected to have to pay for someone else's.  This is EXACTLY what I am against.   Wink

Instead of talking about this people how about we all kick in a few buck each and get the girl a nice pair of running shoes? 
How about all, I am willing to cut a check, Jeannie can you give us an address and name to make checks out to so we can get your daughter some nice shoes to run in and also teach her a good lesson in how there is good in people and how it makes people feel good to help?

Matt, that is really nice of you.  Thank you.  I wouldn't want to take advantage of any one's kindness here. 

I'm just upset about being lead to believe that the price of the program included shoes when it does not.  I am also bothered that the students that did not pay for the program would be the ones to receive shoes first.   It's not that I was relying on the program to provide shoes for her.  I just don't like the socialist way of thinking that seems to leak into every aspect of life.    It angered me but I'm over it now. 

Morgan actually came home with a pair of shoes yesterday that her running coach gave her.  She said that they were too big for her and thought Morgan might be able to use them.  I feel a little guilty about it all now.  I didn't mean to make them think that Morgan was in desperate need of shoes and that I was unable to buy them for her.  I feel like I should pay for the things I am capable of paying for.   It really was just the principle of it all.

Thanks again for the kind gesture, Matt.  And to all of you that listened to my whining about the "unfairness of the world!"

Hugs,

Jeannie

You didn't whine!  You exposed an outrage that needed exposure.  I have heard nothing from either email I sent, nor did I expect to, but I've just bought my last pair of New Balance shoes, and my family will buy none either.

Shit. My new favorite pair of all-around shoes for work and play are New Balance. I've worn these shoes for a year and a half, and they're close to being done. I'll be looking for a new brand - I will not support political correctness gone wrong with my consumer dollars.
