    That's pretty much been my position from the start. I hope I'm wrong, but that seems to be the way it works these days. Presidents are more like actors or spokespersons for the PTSB. If they run as a Republican, they pretend to be conservative… But for the most part it's just an act. When I saw how they shut out Ron Paul, I gave up hope on anyone genuine and good actually making it to the presidency.

    That article is right, wearing a dress or long skirt is pretty much a guaranteed enhanced patdown.

    But if she just looks super sexy in a long skirt, who am I to tell her what not to wear?
