Hillary Does Not Speak for all Baby Boomers

You know I keep saying I am not going to get caught up in the "politics" behind the politics of this election. Unfortunately, the media makes it very difficult not to.

What disturbs me about this election is how much the media is doing to sway public opinion. Even after Obama won the Iowa Caucus, Hillary was still the center of attention with their "Why didn't she win?" news stories.

Now they're talking about how she showed her vulnerability and choked up when talking about her likeability factor. Was that a news story? NO, but the media chose to make it one. Now they're going as far as to call her the "Comeback Kid." Tell me, how can that be when she was the front runner from the very beginning? The only thing she came back from was a humiliating loss in Iowa.

If there is a so-called come-back kid, it would have to be John McCain who had a very poor showing in Iowa but came back like gangbusters in NH. Why isn't the media making more out of his story?

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Hillary would win NH. The Live Free or Die State has always been the frontrunner when it comes to electing women. Remember former two-term Governor Ella Grasso?

Personally, I think the media has its own agenda to make the Democratic Race as divisive as possible and let another Republican sneak in again. He won't have to steal it this time.

The media and politics make strange bedfellows.

One more thing: One of the female commentators on CNN who labeled herself a baby boomer was quick to point out that baby boomer women in NH were rising to the occasion to support one of their own. Lady, please be advised that Hillary does NOT speak for ALL baby boomers. Just ask Oprah.

Baby Boomer Divas Declare Victory

I don't normally do more than one post in a day but in light of the previous post, I felt obligated to post this message I received from Free-Press-Release.com since it was on their site that the pornographic URL's showed up attached to my press release.


Hello Beverly,

Thanks for contacting.

We are awfully sorry about the pornographic url in your press release. There's something wrong with the system when matching with the ads. We will adjust and revise it now! Also, I'm sorry to tell you the charges on the press releasing can't be refunded. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you still find any problem, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Lynn

Within minutes after receiving this email, the URL's on my press release were changed. We lived up to our motto: "Baby Boomer women on the move and making a difference!"

Baby Boomer Women have been Disrespected!

One of the beautiful things about living in America is you have the right to free speech but what are innocent people supposed to do when that “free speech” crosses the line and paints an unfair picture?

On Saturday, January 5, 2008 I issued a press release regarding the women who make up the Platinum Club Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame. I went through free-press-release.com. When the press release went "live" it was connected to some DISGUSTING ADS from a site called Etology www.etology.com/buying-space-detail.php?id=12086&EID=53955
I have personally never heard of this company but I do know that many websites and bloggers (myself included) use Google AdWords as a way of making a little extra change. It has always been my understanding that Google searches for "key words" and then places ads associated with the subject matter. They do that on my personal websites: http://www.enjoyyourmenopause.com and http://www.thebabyboomerdiva.com.

In this case, Etology.com chose pornographic ads as a link to my, otherwise, respectable press release. See for yourself:

http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200801/1199573983.html
What "key words" could Etology.com have picked out of my release to connect it with those type of ads? I have sent several emails to free-press-release.com but they have yet to respond.

We are appalled that Etology.com would choose to include porno ads on a release site that is about classy, sophisticated, smart, savvy baby boomer women. Included in our group are authors, ordained ministers, entrepreneurs, career counselors, celebrities, etc.

We, as members of the Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame, are not going to tolerate being associated with these kinds of ads! It shows that someone isn't really paying attention to what they're doing.

Drew Peterson Gives Baby Boomer Men a BAD Name

For those of you who don't keep up with the news, Drew Peterson is a former cop who is now the number one suspect (and ONLY suspect) in the murder of his 23-year-old wife. He claims she ran off with another man. Given this man's personality and unattractiveness, I could buy that argument. However..........

In an interview with NBC's Dateline, the 53-year-old boomer was asked if his child bride had ever asked for a divorce. His response was, "She asked for a divorce every time she was PMSing!" Well since I happen to recall those days I would say that means she must've asked him at least two weeks out of every month. So why didn't he just comply with her wishes?

Boomer Drew also claims to have done everything for his wife. He paid for her "boob job" and "tummy tuck." He claims he gave her the world. That may be true but if Stacy was as sick of him as he claims she was, why doesn't she just come forward and say "Yes, I ran off with another man because my husband just got on my nerves!" She would've gone thru two more months of PMSing since she turned up missing on October 28 so now would be a prime time to show up and stop the madness.

I guess every generation has its number of sickos and baby boomers are no exception. Drew is undoubtedly having a midlife crisis, which includes memory loss and hormonal imbalance. He is blaming his hardship on PMS. If his wife were going through menopause, this story would probably have a totally different ending.

Baby Boomers and War

After spending 25 years in the politically incorrect arena of radio and television news, the last thing I want to do now is try to become a politically correct baby boomer.

I am opposed to the war but I wholeheartedly support our troops who are giving up their lives for President Bush's definition of "freedom."

A number of my fellow baby boomers have young sons and daughters who won't be home for Christmas this year because they are supporting an agenda. The least we can do is show our support for them by letting them know they haven't been forgotten. And what does it matter if you don't know anybody personally over in Iraq? Chances are you know someone who has someone connected to the war.

Xerox is giving all of us the opportunity to send a thank you card to our young men and women overseas. All you have to do is pick out the card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier who is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. Let's make sure there's no one without a thank you!

Remember Vietnam?

A Charlie Brown Christmas

This is the time of year when we can expect to see holiday specials on just about every channel. Most of them I don’t bother to watch anymore-----but I can never get enough of A Charlie Brown Christmas. What baby boomer hasn’t sat and watched it at least a half dozen times?

I was eight-years-old when the Charles Schutlz classic made its debut on television. Year after year, I have watched it. I’ve danced during the piano rehearsal scene and cried when Charlie and the Peanuts gang gather around the tree at the end and sing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” When my daughter was born, it became a tradition in my home to watch it together.

It came on again tonight. This time it was extra special because I got to watch it for the first time with my grandson. It's cool to be a baby boomer---to have grown up during a time when watching television was fun!
