More: Are we merely stereotypes

[cidchase]

Guy's I dont want to be a wet blanket, but I think the "blonde bimbo"
theme has about run its course.

After all, this is The Gauge. This kind of stereotyping is not what
we are known for. We have always represented diversity, tolerance,
and a less provincial approach to social issues, when they arise, and
I am proud to be a part of it. :thumb:

The original report was probably more accurate than not, if the truth
were known. My opinion is, if the shoe fits, wear it!!

This lady must have something going for her; after all, she was hired by
a national company to represent them on television. Reckon she has a
degree in journalism? It's more than I have. :cry: :cry:

Let's talk trains, anyhow Hope I'm not stirrin' up anything, it's just my opinion ...

Ray M.'s remark about George Bush has led me to wonder ....has there ever been a U.S. President who was an active mrrer ? Or admitted as such ? Just curious . Heck , I'd have voted for him just for that ! Of course , being Canadian I can't vote over there anyhow .......

I did a few different searches - there doesn't seem to be any presidents that were Model Railroaders. But that might simply mean that they didnt have the time or money for a hobby like this. Most governor's & Senators travel a lot & also give a bunch of their money back to the party and a lot of our Presidents were Governors or Senators before they ran for President. I dont think any President in the 20th Century had time for trains I'd really like to know now

But that raises another question.... "IF" there are any presidents that were MRrrs - I wonder if the Secret Service just watched them work on their layouts, or helped them

Mikey , ya gotta help me out with that search . There had to be SOME famous President ....Vice- President ...um, Presidential loser .....someone CLOSE to the President like Monica Lewinski ....well maybe not her , she didn't play with trains , um , er .......maybe I'll be changing the subject . So how's the weather in Pennsylvania ?

Well, as I recall, most presidents in the 19th and early 20th centuries all played with full-scale trains,:thumb: just like the ones that followed all like to play with full-scale jet planes, especially the current Mr. Bush. His predecessor however, just liked to play around...
