[edit] Pejorative word used as adjective in article
I strongly oppose the word "dyke" being used, even in quotes, and even if it's part of a parsed out of context statement by the subject. This word is a pejorative and derogatory slang for lesbian or homosexual person. Such language has no place in Wikipedia. You do not see articles saying Whoopi Goldberg is an "N-word" now do we? It's the same thing. If Mrs. O'Donnel said she is one, then the QUOTE should be in the article, in quotation, not the word dyke as if an adjective describing a trait.
bawwwwww, cry more. Wikipedia's about the truth, not being politically correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.155.5.18 (talk) 08:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Family Ancestry/Heritage?
i am just curious, what is rosies heritage? there is no mention of her family history. her birth name sounds, on the surface, to be fairly irish-catholic in origin. however this reference to a line in her blog, makes me wonder if she is (or considers herself?) jewish -- "bashert—as we say, And on we go." (my emphasis on "we".) i think any info on family ancestry is pretty standard in biographical entries on wikipedia, so might be nice to have added here. thanks!

- As far as I can tell she's mostly just Irish. This link shows that her father's ancestry goes back to County Tyrone in Ireland. (Also that she's distantly related to Bridget Moynahan) Her mother was "Roseann Teresa MURTHA" and most Murthas are Irish as well, see the last names on Kings of Breifne, going by what I've found. Hebrew or Yiddish words are used by many people raised in the Long Island/NYC area so don't necessarily indicate a person's Jewish. She may have converted to Judaism for all I know as I'm not knowledgeable about this person. I just hear her mentioned on the news on occasion and Googled her geneology.--T.

- She wrote in her blog that she sometimes "feels Jewish" as a state of mind only - love of family etc. Her roots are Irish Catholic, but she is not particularly religious. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 16:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Time article
Good overview with some information we are missing. Article here. Benjiboi 01:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References
Though brought about by a particular reference, I have a general question: why are author's name in references sometimes given as "Surname firstname", sometimes as "Firstname surname" and sometimes not given at all. Shouldn't this be uniform. Personally I prefer the "Firstname surname" option in footnotes (as opposed to a bibliographical list). Str1977 (talk) 11:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

On March 26, 2007, in a conversation about the Bush administration's rationale for the invasion of Iraq, O'Donnell stated that 7 World Trade Center had been imploded, in line with 9/11 conspiracy theories.[2][3][4] When asked by Hasselbeck who she thought was responsible, she commented that she had no idea, but according to the Miami Herald she suggested in her blog that it was done to destroy evidence of the corporate financial scandals at Enron and WorldCom.[5] The building housed the offices of government agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency,[6] the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Popular Mechanics posted a response on its website[7] and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is still investigating the collapse.[8]
