I just watched an "Ask Jeeves" commercial and saw a strawberry blond model sporting a dead ringer Joni-do! I've seen the same do on models in magazines as well. Has anyone else picked up on this?

And: But I do love and respect people of faith, I just hate the major religions, I don't hate the people. I'm devoted to the love and respect of humanity. Hi Ali, What do you mean by pseudosexual? I don't see homosexuality as having anything to do with false sex. No comprendo. And, could it be that religion is a facet of humanity? Just another variety in the colorful world of the wonderland? So why focus on the bad in it?

However, I could *not* resist a comment on this, Smurf's triple post: - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 08:29:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Smurf Subject: Re: band names D'oh!

You are Joni's cat's pajamas. And at the risk of annoying Muller yet again, I just have to drag out another moldy oldy. My fault, my fault, my most grievous fault, Musik Meister! (trois fois) ARTIST: Tony Orlando and Dawn TITLE: Knock Three Times Hey girl what ya doin' down there Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you I can hear your music playin' I can feel your body swayin' One floor below me you don't even know me I love you Oh, my darling, knock three times on the ceiling if you want me Twice on the pipe if the answer is no, oh, my sweetness (Knock, knock, knock!) Means you'll meet me in the hallway Mmm, twice on the pipe (clink, clink) means you ain't gonna show If you look out your window tonight Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart Read how many times I saw you How in my silence I adored you And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart I can hear your music playin' I can feel your body swayin' One floor below me you don't even know me I love you Okay, Smurf, I'm knocking three times on the ceiling, in the state just below you. To say "I love you" right loud. All of you. Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it alI away Laughing it all away, Patti P. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 19:54:53 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: voting for character njc > He said things like...people need to be accountable for their actions...< I guess we have different views of what character means... I see character as how one lives their life, especially when they face adversity... interesting you point to what he says... Ii don't judge a person's character by their words, only their actions... I sure don't see this president as being strong in the accountability department... but I don't really see him as our president, he's a figure head playing a role because of his wealthy political family name... cheney on the other hand.. Which brings me to comment on a documentary I saw tonight about iraq & the widespread corruption due to the privatization of contracts with no gov't oversight.. stuff most people know about in general but the details are deeply disturbing... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 20:14:22 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: speaking of influences Last night we were watching the 3 disk dvd of monterey pop. During jimi's performance of 'the wind cries mary' how much one of the verses reminded me of 'I had a king'... I don't think they met til years later & they'd both already written these songs by then but still... Jimi "A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping somewhere a king has no wife And the wind it cries mary" Joni "I had a king in a tenement castle Lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown He's taken the curtains down He's swept with the broom of contempt And the rooms have an empty ring He's cleaned with the tears Of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting I can't go back there anymore You know my keys won't fit the door You know my thoughts don't fit the man They never can they never can" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 20:17:45 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Rubber Soul begets Pet Sounds which begets Sgt. Pepper PM >"God Only Knows" is a big favourite of mine ... very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one.< I couldn't believe the exquisite beauty of that song when I first heard it & it still stops me in my tracks all these years later... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:50:25 -0400 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: RE: voting for character njc Would you have said the same thing had Kerry gotten in? I mean..he is married to a Heinz ..billions.. catsup lady. (last count they have seven homes or was it eleven?) Would he have just been a figure head? You know whether they have millions of their own personal money... it doesn't really matter...Kate... because the two major political parties have millions to back up a candidate...and that is the money that is used to get a president elected. Bush did pretty good against Gore and Kerry in those debates..he wasn't expected to..well ..because they are brilliant ..and he's so dumb. Maybe that had something to do with why he was elected? Maybe everything was rigged? Or just maybe ...I know.. it's long shot...that the majority of people in this country thought that he was the best person for the job? Would Clintion had gotten in IF Perot had gotten out? And IF Bush (Herbert) hadn't raised taxes and by doing so.. losing faith with a lot of people who had voted for him the first time around.. ...a death nail for a conservative voter..would he had won a second term? No hard feelings I hope...I enjoy you and your take on things. Goodnight...

I mean..he is married to a Heinz ..billions.. catsup lady. (last count they have seven homes or was it eleven?) Would he have just been a figure head? < I am not equating wealth with automatically being a figure head. Although I agree that politics has become a career for only the very wealthy. I believe that Bush is a figure head in this particular administration & that Cheney is the real power. Anyone who has to claim he is the decider is clearly grasping for recognition! And boy oh boy that Cheney is darkness personified. I just see Bush as someone who has been supported & bailed out of every problem he's ever created for himself. This time he's leaving to another presidency (how accountable is that- he doesn't have a clue about the meaning of that word as he's never had to be accountable). >Bush did pretty good against Gore and Kerry in those debates..he wasn't expected to..well ..because they are brilliant ..and he's so dumb. < I thought he did terrible! See, we really have different perspectives don't we? >No hard feelings I hope...I enjoy you and your take on things.< Of course not. It has been a very civilized discussion I think. I am always fascinated in how you come to your conclusions since they are so opposed to mine.

The page-stalking, former Florida representitive is named Mark Foley." Ah geez, Smurf, I wasn't paying attention one way or the other but I looked up *Tom* Foley and it's a good thing you made the correction. Tom was a notable Democrat in Congress for many years and was an ambassador to Japan.
