In civilizations long since past, the aging female was looked upon with respect. The oldest in the community was often called the wise woman, crone, healer, witch or just mother.

Personally, I like the term crone. I want to be a Crone.

Love "The Rent is Too Damn High" Political Debate




The election of 2010 may seem to be full of negativity, with fringe candidates making enough outrageous statements to make even the most civic minded voter throw up their hands in despair, or maybe just throw up, but the New York Governors race has brought a bit of humor into the mix and made this Grandma remember why she likes to follow politics.

Jimmy McMillan was a hit in the New York Governors Debate as his  "The Rent is Too Damn HIgh" campaign seems to have struck a chord with listeners. Watch the video.


This, in a debate that also included candidate Carl P. Paladino leaving during the final statements to find a bathroom and a quote from a former escort business owner that  "The key difference between the MTA and my former escort agency is that I operated one set of books and my former agency delivered on-time, reliable service."

But "The Rent is Too Damn High" is what I'll remember. I don't think I'm alone in this.
