THANK YOU!!!!!

Even anti-gay agitator Anita Bryant finally came around to that.

She suffered so many consequences for using her stardom and name recognition to step into the spotlight for negativity and glaring public prejudice that her career and reputation were destroyed. So much for the “Florida Sunshine Tree”.

She was the high-profile commercial spokeswoman for the Florida orange juice producers - until this. The firestorm of negative publicity that grew out of her equally high-profile anti-gay agitation cost her that gig.

Indeed!!!

As one of those 81 million friends,

I wanna know, too.

Yeah, he was "at work"... being an overtly and aggressively racist asshole.

Hope he REMAINS in custody for while. So maybe he can stop and think. And reevaluate a few things.

A teachable moment, maybe.

Glad you're safe!

Living for years in earthquake country, one of the best tips I heard was to make sure everybody in the family had the same out-of-state contact number. Phones might be down in the affected area but there may be more reliable connections with different systems across the country, where the wires or antennae are unaffected by whatever hit your area. Make sure one relative or close friend at a distance is your family’s contact. And THAT’S who everybody checks in with.

That main central contact can then relay messages to everyone else and let them know who’s reported in and how they are.

Ted Cruz is almost ridiculously disgusting.

So what does that say about the folks back home who somehow see fit to vote him into office?

I’m still stuck on that one.

By thy representation art thou known, people.

Excellent!

My wonderful Oregon!

And another +1000!

Humans, listen to your Mother! And work WITH her instead of trying to defy her, stand in her way, and pave her over.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
