I hate to reference a stereotype, but she does look like the girls’ gym teachers from my school back in the 70s. I won’t name names, but they’re the ones my female classmates told me always hung out in the locker room when it was time to hit the showers.

I’d love to question Joni about why her story should be believed as true when she chose to believe Professor Ford’s testimony before the Judiciary Committee was unsubstantiated.

Yeah, we had those PE teachers on the boys’ side, too. I was so clueless it never occurred to me (at the time) what they were doing. Then I got to college (we had a 4 credit-hour PE requirement emphasizing ‘lifetime sports’) and the PE teachers were not hanging around the locker room. I wondered, "Why is one of these things not like the other? Then it dawned on me…

So let me get this straight, she wanted to accept the Vice Presidential position to serve under a known misogynist and sexually abusive President but her abusive husband wouldn’t allow her. Is that what she’s saying? Something seems a bit off with that explanation. I’m sorry she feels held back in her career by her marriage but she really is stretching the excuses here imo.

Wasn’t castration her specialty before becoming a US Senator? That’s all I remember about her from her campaign. She managed to make that the highlight of her experience down home on the farm if I recall. Kinda makes you wonder now what that was all about.

Sad, sad state of affairs. To have any part of this aired in public ‘because you can’ makes it even worse.

Just like Phony Sarah Palin, that bragged how outdoorsy she was and so good at field stripping a moose, turned out she did not knew how to shoot, her father hat to operate the rifle’s bolt for her.

Joni, probably is grossed out by the smell of pig shit.

I wore wonder bread bags over my socks in the winter. I never thought anything about it until JE mentioned it as a hardship.

I had idiot mittens my great-grandmother made for us and took big crap for that, tho. And robbed of a life skill, I keep mittens and gloves for about a month before I loose one.
