Not trying to start anything--just curious. Death of Michael Jackson got me to thinking.

Alan Embree got the victory in the Rockies-Nationals game tonight without a single pitch thrown--picked a batter off first for his only 1/3 inning.

So I have a neighbor who is dealing (just weed, I think), and he is breaking several of the "Ten Crack Commandments." Specifically, he is breaking #s 3,4,5,7,8, and possibly 10.

What do you predict will happen to him?

Now it's Mark Sanford. What is it with these guys?

“I would rather be a man than a woman. If God had made me a man I would have been the worst son of a great whore ever born. Not a woman would have escaped me. Ave María! I’d have a woman everywhere, and if they didn’t give me what I wanted I’d kick my way in. That’s why God made me a woman, a real ***** of one. I’m forty now and I’ve had six husbands, and if I want, I can have six more. I wipe my *** with men.”

--From La Vida, by Oscar Lewis

anthropological study, real woman, real quote.

I posted this a couple of days ago. Curious to get different responses. What's her sexual identity--lesbian, straight, transgender? What's her motivations?

I'm thinking she's a straight woman who has appropriated the male machismo ideal and used it her own way.

Or is this streak just a flash in the pan?

Here is the link--just curious to see what people thought of it.

I've heard claims for the Isley Brothers. Any other candidates?

"Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned Friday from an elite all-women's club after Republicans questioned her participation in it. Sotomayor said she resigned from the Belizean Grove to prevent the issue from becoming a distraction in her confirmation hearings.

In a letter to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the federal appeals court judge said she is convinced that the club does not practice "invidious discrimination" and that her membership in it did not violate judicial ethics.

But she said she didn't want questions about it to "distract anyone from my qualifications and record."

If yes, could an all men's club exist that was not discriminatory?

She's bluffin' with her muffin.

My money is on Hillary--old but clever. I think she could throw a good combination. Probably take a good punch and hang in there.

Coulter--cheap blowhard. Talks a good fight--coward at heart, I think she would run after the first Clinton jab.

Your thoughts?

This is a real quote from a real woman in an anthropological study (subject of my dissertation).

Is she straight, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual, or something else altogether?

I'm serious--what's your opinion of her sexual identity from this quote?

“I would rather be a man than a woman. If God had made me a man I would have been the worst son of a great whore ever born. Not a woman would have escaped me. Ave María! I’d have a woman everywhere, and if they didn’t give me what I wanted I’d kick my way in. That’s why God made me a woman, a real ***** of one. I’m forty now and I’ve had six husbands, and if I want, I can have six more. I wipe my *** with men.”

From an anthropological study, the book is the subject of my dissertation. Fernanda was a real woman--real quote.

I've got a goatee. Do women prefer a man to be clean-shaven when he goes down into their business, or is facial hair cool?

I'm looking for a set that would have been used in the 1950s-1960s.

As that is probably the single largest demographic group in the US looking to adopt but mostly being barred from doing so.

I'm not trying to mock you--it's one of those paradoxes that I just don't understand--like how so many hard-line anti-abortion people also don't believe in birth control or sexual education.
