    Welcome to the asylum, Bridget. Your hair is gorgeous!

    • Wasn't sure...

      – if it was okay to mention, but yes, Delia, move over Maureen Dowd’s long red hair.

    Yet another reason to be conservative (aside from the whole morality thing where I don’t want the world going to Hell in a handbasket):

    The left may have some hot women, they may have some smart and articulate women, but we have all the ones who are both!

    Welcome Bridget. Try Cuban culture for a change (I’m a bit partial since I’m Cuban–lol). It’s nothing like Mexican, but I think you’ll like it. If Hispanic culture overall is your thing, there are many in the DC area to explore. You’ll see how varied we ‘Hispanics’ are.

    Welcome Bridget:
    A new face
    and new thoughts are always welcome. As long as you don’t loose your conservative ways. :P
