		<description>I live in a small town where JCPenney&#039;s is the ONLY store we have to shop, so I guess that makes me a poor man (woman)?

That&#039;s crap about your flight though...sorry. :(</description>

		<description>First, thanks for the linky love. 

Second, sorry that JCP flaked on you. And here I am toting around my new snazzy red work tote from JCP. Everyone&#039;s giving me snaps and then I say, &quot;JCP!&quot; And their jaw drops. *shrug*

Lastly...Blogher in Chicago. Way less expensive than NYC. And our Macy&#039;s has a lot of kissing up to do, so maybe they&#039;ll shower us all with gift cards.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s boycott their sorry (and tackily clad) asses. For the hand written signs I am painting in my garage even as we speak do you prefer &quot;Free Neil&quot; or &quot;Fly Neil.&quot; I can&#039;t decide.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a poor person&#039;s Macy&#039;s?  Every time I&#039;ve been to the place, it&#039;s crowded with poor people.  And tourists.

That was a very moving bit of animation, but the lyric contains a line,

the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

that&#039;s a direct steal from Ira Gershwin&#039;s My Ship:

My ship&#039;s aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in

which is a vastly superior song.

I suspect you wanted to get your readership riled up.  You have succeeded, sir.</description>

		<description>Eileen, why do you think they are giving 500 bucks to talented women bloggers -- to change people&#039;s perception of JCPenney.  Get some respected blogger to say good things about the place, and others listen.  Of course, none of these bloggers have to deal with JCPenney  customer service yet.

Now I know some of these women -- so I am going out on the limb here.  I have no problem with them doing this.  But if JCPenney can manipulate BlogHer for their own corporate advantage with cash payouts, my only recourse is to write about it on my blog, hoping to make JCPenney look sleazy until they keep their promises -- or at least have the courtesy of calling me back.</description>
