Today we learned the sad news of the death of Donna Summer at the age of 63 after a long battle with cancer. She was known as the Queen of Disco, an artist who, along with the Bee Gees, led the vanguard of disco music and style in the mid to late 1970s. She had one hit after another, from "Heaven Knows," MacArthur Park," and "Bad Girls," to "On the Radio," "Hot Stuff," and my personal favorite, "Last Dance." All of those tunes---and so many other Donna Summer classics---are on my iPod.
If Donna Summer helped to define my youth with her huge vocal range and danceable beats, Whitney Houston helped to define my teenage years in much the same way. When artists whose work influences and entertains you and defines entire eras of your life pass away, it tends to inspire some self-reflection.
I never met them, but Donna Summer and Whitney Houston contributed in a significant way to the soundtrack of my life. And they will, still.
Rest in peace to the two women who had been blessed with extraordinary talent and shared it with us for too short a time.
regarding Romney's present day stance on keeping this election about the issues.........IS IT EVER ABOUT THE ISSUES? Kimberly Guilfoyle stated his position regarding Rev Wright & super pac very well I think, he needs to fight for his country, he needs to fight for US.........
NO MCLAME THIS GO ROUND IF HE WANTS MY VOTE

Buck,
One GLARING difference between McAnus and Willard is on the issue of amnesty. Willard is staunchly against amnesty for illegals whilst McAmnesty was/is for it. There are other major differences such as how they conducted their personal lives. Another is Romney is eminently more qualified in solving fiscal and monetary problems. McAnus, OTOH, was/is part of the problem. He was/is a willing member of the big government aisle crossing RINO pukes that helped led the USA into the nanny state quicksand. Hopefully Willard can figure a way out. Hopefully!

Mittens might simply be letting others handle the Rev. Wright deal, while staying above the fray.
IMHO this is a highly important development and needs to be highlighted to the fullest. A. There is potentially criminal activity [bribery, to name but one and campaign funds misappropriation, to name another] by the president to be taken into consideration and B. this will absolutely destroy the MSM, who have their own very large stake in all this.

Satan cannot vet Christ. Not that Obama is Christ.
Only when compared to Breitbart, aka Satan Jr. in Hell.

Isn't it wonderful how the "conservatives" here have no remotely valid arguments left?
All they post is infantile attack after infantile attack. Off board, infantile nuisance IDENTITY THEFT.
Grow up, dickheads, before you end up in prison.
