I didn't get anything in what you wrote that said you hated women but why do you hate magnet school parents. Just because they feel passionate about the educational choices for their children. You might notice that Michelle Obama was a magnet school student in Chicago. Do you hate her parents?

I'll e-mail Chris Matthews about your intense feelings. Maybe you too can be on his show one night soon.
OR maybe I was kidding. I guess you proved my point: Any attempt at humor or subtlety on a blog will be intepreted in the most ridiculous manner possible.
"I too was making fun of your reply so maybe it's all in the eyes of the reader."
Right. Sure you were. The TGW has such a track record for being grounded in reality. And a sense of humor.
Did it ever occur to you that I do not represent the TGW but merely used the label? Lighten up. Humor and laughter is good for the soul and the blood pressure.
their gushing of enthusiasm for the former first lady is exactly what's missing from her campaign.
Surely you haven't forgotten her groovy new video....
Why do you think MB's senior thesis at Princeton is redacted from public access until Nov 5, 2008?
Because she's a communist plant whose parents never really loved each other, but just had a baby for the sake of undermining democracy by indoctrinating her first with commie beliefs and then with Islamic ones! And her senior thesis proves it!
What does communism have to do with lack of access to public documents except that might be what a communist or W government would do?
I was just teasing. Perhaps you've not seen the latest on how Mr. Obama is supposedly a communist plot by his parents.
But, in more seriousness, how is someone's senior thesis a public document? She wrote it. She holds copyright on it and it's up to her to decide who may view it and who may not. If she'd rather not have people pouring over stuff she wrote when she was in college looking for evidence of her being unfit in some way, that's completely within her rights.
Libraries all the time restrict access to materials according to the wishes of the rights holders.
Though it'd be nice if the public had access to all information all the time in whatever forms we liked, that's not how the world works.
And, in this case, it makes sense to me. Would you want everything you said or wrote between the ages of 18-23 to come back and bite your spouse in the butt?
It seems to me that is what being in the public life entails these days. It is unfortunately what comes with the job and she will be part of the most important job in our country.
Most thesis, dissertations, etc are public pieces of work, and if her wishes were that it be not be made public, then why release it at all? We've had enough secrecy in public life and stonewalling for my lifetime which isn't short. It's just a bad precedent.
What would be a bad precedent is frothing up a "controversy" out of somebody's college paper.
The argument that Michelle Obama's thesis should be available to the public might carry a tad more weight if the Clintons had not closed access to so many of their own papers from their days in the White House, when they were public servants and not flunkie graduate students at a private university.
"You could argue that folks at Tennessee Guerrilla Women are flat-out delusional"
Indeed they are.
As is Hillary herself in thinking she can contrast herself with Obama by trying to claim she's the "experience" candidate.
The only elected office she's held is senator - and Obama is a senator as well. She hasn't accomplished anything more as a senator than he has.
Spending 35 years yapping about "fighting for the children" doesn't count as relevant experience for being president.
