Oh Pete I haven’t actually heard her speak with the fake accent, but I’ve read about it on the Internet and therefore am entitled to my strong opinion that she is a horrible person.

Cobblehiller – Without doing a google search, can you please identify frankie paladino’s platform? Don’t resort to calling him nutjob or referring to extramarital affairs or talking about how he’s hotheaded – I mean actually list particular elements of his platform. And….. go.
“for all the suffering I endured with Mets, rangers, and Knicks, I should get my honorary JEW certification (btw, I’ve already got the bargaining piece down pat).”
LMAO, m4l. We can poll the Jews, but you have my vote for honorary Jew. You also have the “eating and noshing” thing down, too — practically all you talk about, especially when it comes to brownies.
“Do you get guff from your people about accent creep?”
Yes, although it crept a lot in my first 3-4 years and has not changed much since. Now I get as many compliments on not sounding as American as people expect.
I get a *lot* more crap from people in the UK for using US words / phrases than for accent stuff.
where do you hear madonna speak that feel she has some accent? since don’t watch TV, etc?
Not defending her or denying it , but I can’t recall what her (speaking)voice even sounds like.

I won’t be particularly surprised if it does hit 1400 M4L.

Lech, if gold powers up to 1400, I would consider shorting it – to hedge my position
