If you *had* to choose one

Poll question: If you *had* to choose one

of these people's "philosophies" - whose would you choose? (the Religion/Theology version)


I think most people already have pretty set opinions about these people. For those who want extra information - here are some websites (I tried to provide differing viewpoints):

1. "The Butter Battle Book" and "The Lorax" both shaped my worldview

I am most definitely a Seussian :hi:

3. I'm thinking

I may have to go back and read some of those books. It's been awhile. :hi:

If the Bible says it, it must be true:

Saved people can drink poison and it won't harm them! (So, throw away those childproof locks and safety caps, Christian mothers and show how much you believe God's word! Praise the Lord!) MK 16:17-18


The human heart is where thoughts occur. The kidneys ("reins") are where a surgeon should look if he is trying to find your conscience! (Which is why Mrs. Patsy Ramsey is currently looking for an Igloo cooler with a kidney in it.) ES 6:6, JB 19:27, PS 7:9, 16:7, 73:21, PR 23:7, 16, IS 10:7, JE 11:20, 17:10, 20:12, MT 9:4, LK 2:19, 9:47, AC 8:22, RO 10:9-10, HE 4:12, RE 2:23

There is no need to ever take any prescription drug or go to a doctor because both physical and mental illness are caused by demon possession and can be cured by exorcism (God's very own HMO!). MT 4:23-24, 9:32-33, 12:22, 17:14-18, MK 1:23-26, 32-34, 5:2-16, 9:17-29, 16:9, LK 11:14, 4:33-35, 8:2, 27-36, 9:38-42, AC 8:7, 16:16-18

5. I love her comments on Laura's wardrobe.

Chris, from Wilmington, NC writes:
Mrs. Bowers, you have always been a paragon of class with your lovely wardrobe and impeccable taste in Saviors. Therefore would you please consider passing on some fashion tips to the First Lady? I hate to speak badly of her, as she is a True Christian, but she is sorely in need of your assistance when it comes to her attire.

Betty's Reply:
Upon first seeing Laura descend the staircase at the Texas Governor's mansion wearing colors that didn't belong in the same time zone together (although, given her often ample posterior, this is often not technically a problem), I offered her my first fashion tip: "Do buy a full-length mirror, dear." In subsequent years, watching her personify Republican Glamour by appearing at diplomatic functions wearing elastic waistband velour pantsuits clearly chosen with Pollyannaish optimism with regard to size, I became almost discernibly tetchy in her company, thinking she had ignored my millinery mentoring. It was only years later that I realized that the salutary effects of my seemingly sage advice were significantly undermined by the effect that combining tequila with Xanax has on the human eye's ability to focus.

Go here and move your mouse over Jackie O's photo:

Then click on the roses!

My favorite:

Bras are often too formal for daytime. Instead, I simply tuck my breasts into the elastic waistband of my Dress Barn skirt (to keep them from giving me a black eye when I gallop through the West Wing). In case the French Embassy has its air-conditioning set too high, I complete the outfit by slinging a white, terrycloth Marriott bathrobe over my arm.

I know, I know, I'm going to hell...

That stuff is great!

With some scissors and a hot curling iron, you too can make your lapels look like the yummy crust on Pop-Tarts!


The GOP is a big tent. And so is this dress! And to show that the GOP's big-tent has become inclusive enough to squeeze in people who aren't even Real Americans, George and I like to surprise folks who look like they speak Mexican with those funny sombreros they like! Coming from Texas, I know that you can run into illegal aliens all the time, so I keep 4 or 5 complimentary GOP sombreros under my cardigan-mumu whenever we go out!
