A judge has brushed off a Connecticut woman’s claim that L’Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products.
Charlotte Feeney of Stratford said she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants.
She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.
A Superior Court judge dismissed Feeney’s 2005 lawsuit Monday, saying she never proved her allegation that L’Oreal put brown hair dye in a box labeled as blonde.
I should sue McDonald’s for leading me to believe that I can eat their food and become an Olympic athlete … instead I enlarged! I think they should start putting warning labels on their products like they do with the coffee lids … “Caution! Contents of this package may cause blubbering.”
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January. In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That’s just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq.
When some claim that President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, tell them the following:
Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us - Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost … an average of 112,500 per year.
Harry S. Truman (D) finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost … an average of 18,334 per year.
John F. Kennedy (D) started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Lyndon B. Johnson (D) turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost … an average of 5,800 per year.
Bill Clinton (D) went to war in Bosnia without U.N. or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has:
liberated two countries
crushed the Taliban
crippled al-Qaida
put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and, North Korea without firing a shot
and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people
And the Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking. But Wait, There’s more.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno (D) to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.
We’ve been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton (D) to find the Rose law firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy (D) to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!
Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB! The Military morale is high! The liberal-biased, mainstream, drive-by media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.
But Wait …There’s more!
Some people still don’t understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This exchange between Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it’s also a good example of one man’s explanation of why men and women in the armed services do what they do for a living.
This is a typical, though sad, example of what some who have never served think of the military-
Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn): ‘How can you run for Senate when you’ve never held a real job?’
Senator Glenn (D-Ohio): ‘I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn’t my checkbook, Howard, it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five job where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank. I ask you to go with me, as I went the other day… to a veteran’s hospital and look those men … with their mangled bodies … in the eye, and tell THEM they didn’t hold a job!
You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee … and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their DAD’S didn’t hold a job.
You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than I’d like to remember, and you watch those waving flags. You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you have the gall to tell ME that those people didn’t have a job?
What about Metzenbaum? For those who don’t remember - during W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the Communist Party in the USA. Now he’s a Senator!
A preacher was completing a sermon on temperance*. With great expression (I can only imagine a fired-up, tent revival preacher voice) he said,
If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river. And if I had all the wine in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river. And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river.
He sat down. The song leader then stood very cautiously reading the closing song from the bulletin,
For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365: ‘Shall We Gather at the River.’
