[ - ] I'm usually on here encouraging women whose DHs fail to call or get home from work at a decent time to just live their lives as if their DHs are never there. It usually works for me. But, damnit - I'm sick, I'm pregnant and I TOLD DH I was cooking dinner for us and our three kids. And he is not even answering my calls. I'm pissed. Hormonal and raging. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

On April 7, Jerry Brown lost narrowly to Bill Clinton in Wisconsin (37-34), and dramatically in New York (41-26).Although Brown continued to campaign in a number of states, he won no further primaries. Despite this, he still had a sizable number of delegates, and a big win in his home state of California would deprive Clinton of sufficient support to win the nomination, which Brown apparently thought would revert to him by default. After nearly a month of intense campaigning and multiple debates between the two candidates, Clinton managed to defeat Brown in this final primary by a margin of 48% to 41%. [ Reply | More

"In 1980, Kennedy came into the Democratic convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City with 1,225 delegates to President Carter's 1,981, with 122 delegates uncommitted. Kennedy stood on principle and people admired him for fighting the good fight. If Kennedy could take it to the convention when he trailed by 756 delegates, why can't Hillary go to the convention trailing by far less?" [ Reply | More

Because america is virtually split 50/50 Rep/Dem so its a battle for anyone. Because he is young, unproven and yes, black. America is racist. Half of my relatives believe O is a "muslim".

[ - ] OK -- I need a reality check. I was standing in line @ Barnes & Noble w/ my 2 1/2/ yr. old son to buy a book. I was talking to him to keep him still and not agitated while in line. He did not scream or anything. This woman behind me says to me, "Can I talk softer" because her 3 month old was sleeping. I was speaking in a normal tone of voice. I said that I was in a public space and that I was simply having a conversation with my son. She went on to say that I didn't know how to take care of my son, how I was selfish because I wouldn't comply, with her request etc. It became a screaming match. I am still agitated by her pushiness and judgmental comments. Was she out of line? Obviously I think so! 16 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
