Yes, it’s time. I Don’t Get It will go off line on June 8, 2023. I started writing back in 2007 and eventually uploaded my blog in May 2010. I described the blog as the “musings of a (then almost) 60-year-old conservative woman on political, social and cultural life in America.” I am now 71 […]
Posted on January 31, 2012 by Leona in advertising, election day 2012, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich
It’s the big showdown in Florida today. Polls show Mitt Romney way ahead of the pack. We’ll see tonight. While watching The Factor last night, I learned that Mr. Romney has outspent Mr. Gingrich by 4 to 1 in advertising and that was one of the reasons for his surge in the polls. He just […]

I don’t mind getting old and don’t hide the fact that I’ll be 60 this year. I don’t buy into the “50 is the new 30” BS – I’m sure it was coined by a fifty-something and not a thirty-something. Being a 25-year cancer survivor makes every birthday a wonderful event for me. Having had […]
