Thank you for this Indie link, Mary.

Hunting! I can kind-of-understand hunting through wild terrain, pitting hunter's wits against edible wild animal; that sort of thing. (Have I got a distant memory of "Hidden in the Alder Bushes" from Hiawatha with Miss Champion here?) However, I feel it's totally terrible to hunt a creature from the air; just exhausting it until landing and shooting it at point-blank range.

I absolutely cannot agree with this, and with most of the actions and opinions of the pitbull with lipstick.

I don't suppose she'd realise that to call a child "Trig" is strongly resonant with us British...

A sudden fleeting thought!

I'm rather glad I no longer have small children, with all those fluffy animal toys... rabbits, bears, bambis, pussycats and, of course, My Little Pony and the Sylvanian Families -

Imagine introducing an armed Sarah Palin doll into the toy box!

Ker-pow!

You could do an ad like that Chevrolet one where the little boy bashes up all his sister's dolls.

Tempting Mary, very tempting!

(I've just seen a man in a "green" teeshirt with a variation of your signature on the front. It was a design of trees, and said
"If a man speaks in the forest, and there isn't a woman to hear him etc".

Quel coincidence! He looked pleased that I was peering keenly at his chest.)

Love, Munch

My daughter actually gave me that one. Her other one is "if a tree falls in the forest do the other trees laught at it?"

The fact that Harriett Harman has spoken out against her is a very good reason for looking favourably on Sarah Palin to my way of thinking....

I agree--can't stand the patronising HARPERSON.

For some time now, as we follow the enthralling path of the US Election, I've been wondering about the expression "on the stump".

Jeez, doncha, doggone it; I sure did figure it out to be either -

A noun. A tree stump on which the candidate stands to make exciting speeches

or

A verb. On the stump, candidate stumping from place to place to make exciting speeches.

This morning I find that Newsweek has a politics bipartisan blog called "Stumper". Now I know. It can be a noun or a verb!

"Hey there, and welcome to NEWSWEEK’s new politics blog. It's called Stumper—as in, "stump: n. the figurative place of political speechmaking" or "stump: v. to make political campaign speeches; electioneer." You wouldn't believe how long it took us to come up with that.

(And no, it has nothing to do with Thumper, Bambi’s helpful bunny sidekick. Not that there’s anything wrong with Thumper.)"

Wistfully, I find myself coveting Sarah Palin's scarlet high heels with the peep-toe. Uh-huh! Although I'd never be able to stump very far in them.

I thought it was Long John Silver that coined the phrase 'On The Stump' ????
