The Pink Flamingo :: Main Page

Twenty-three years ago last night I was in Atlanta slobbering over Sherrill Milnes as he did Simon Boccanegra with the Met. They ended their annual tours a few years later, but I sure did hear some great music while they were in town. My mother and I would stay at the Colony Square Hotel, get a suite. My aunt would fly up from Palm Beach and my mother's best friend would also drive in for the week. We would do 6 nights of intensive opera, good stuff, too.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT!

ARE CHAVEZ, FARC INVOLVED IN MEXICO

If you think illegal immigration is bad now, just wait. If what I think is happening, we are in for a massive tide of illegal immigration – refugees fleeing the growing narco-war in Mexico.

A Weekend Obama-O-Rama Reader

by SJ Reidhead on May 10, 2008 02:17AM (MDT)

CAN WE ASK?

The RNC has created a new site designed to for people who want to ask Barack Obama a question. It is a great idea. There are a heck of a lot of questions I would like to ask, such as: When did you last use illegal substances? But I am behaving myself. The Dems have a problem here. Barack Obama is not a good candidate. Roger Simon has put it so succinctly – Obama is not the man for our times. I think this puts Barack Obama into perspective. Should a person who cannot take criticism be ... more »
