I've never paid more than $250 for a garment.
Since I've stopped answering the phone, they've started leaving turds in my mailbox.

that's pretty hilarious. well, it would be if it weren't so horrible.
i especially like how they drum up the democrats as the party of fear. hmmm....which party is the one that is always telling us we need to be afraid for our lives, all day all the time? classic.
Well, she got one part right. "Over, please!"
I was just in LSU-ville for the weekend. I was a bit surprised to see that the Obama signs were outnumbering the McCain signs about 3:1 in West-of-LSU-wealthy-suburb.
Simply shocked.
Oh, dear. Return to sender, perhaps? With "recipient is deceased" marked on the envelope?
It's worked for me in the past. Of course, the recipient in question was my ex-husband, and he was employed by that particular party, at the time (which made it all the more infuriating).
Oh, this is hilarious. Fight corruption and waste? The lady who abused her position to get her ex brother-in-law fired and charges the campaign for her Nieman-Marcus clothes and make-up? Good grief.
She wants to "lead an [] government which gets behind its people, not in their way," except if I'm on my way to get contraception or need an abortion. Then they're all about getting in my way.
I'm out of it - who spent $250 on a garment - and was it considered inexpensive or not?
(In defense of expensive things: I hate shopping and I like to have just a few items so that I can easily pick up and move. I always buy things that will last and that I can wear a lot. These things cost real money.
I have 2 suits, the only 2 I've ever bought. The first one, cream colored, cost $600 in 1989 and the second one, black, $350 in 1993. They are so classic they just don't quit. I am getting ready to look for a new one, though, and I think it should be brown or copper colored.
I bought a black winter coat for $400 in 1995 and I want an additional one now, in camel. I saw a good one in Peru for $70 and I wish I had bought it.
I just spent $250 on shoes, replacing a pair of shoes I bought for $200 in 1986. The repair shop said it was finally time to let those go.
I spent money this summer too, on a briefcase, almost $100. This replaces the one I bought in 1998 for $45, which is still working but now looks too disreputable to impress.)
OK, I have investigated the matter and found out that $150K has been spent on clothes for Palin since she was nominated - ?
I deserve sunglasses for $100, but I have to save up. Unless she donates some to me.
I've spent waaaaay more than $250 on a garment, and I'm still offended by her spending spree and disingenuous 'soccer mom' pose.
How 'bout spending some of that money on pre-K education? Or higher education? Or sex education?
bleah. I'm hibernating until October 5.
WOW. Just--wow. [speechless]
Only one more week...unless the rumors that Palin is "the new face of the Republican party" are true. At least they picked a nice face (thanks to thousands of dollars in makeup and hair styling).
just in case anybody missed it, take a good look at how they spelled Wednesday.
