1934: We remember Bob Hope & Dolores Reade

On this day in 1934, the great Bob Hope married Dolores Reade.    They met in 1933 when Hope was performing in Jerome Kern’s musical "Roberta" and she was at the Vogue Club.

They say that it was love at first sight.   They were married for almost 70 years.   Hope died in 2003 and Dolores in 2011.

A great union!

September 2006: Why are mothers angry with Senator McCain?

In 2004, the "mother vote" was a critical component in Bush's reelection. In fact, Bush carried the married female vote in huge numbers. They were called "security moms"!

Senator McCain needs to clean up his image after the recent terrorist treatment debate.

McCain is still my first choice for 2008. However, I do think that he has to work to get the mothers back on the bus.
