I too was disheartened to hear of Kathy and Matt's breakup. But doesn't it seem that exposing your life on a reality show is just asking for trouble? As much as I loved it when Kathy said she never imagined she could love someone so much, part of me cringed that she had exposed too much of herself. Nonetheless, as a 40-ish single woman they were my model of a perfect marriage - unpretentious, adoring, funny, and best of all, childless and proud of it. I saw Kathy in concert last month and she said "divorce sucks". I feel bad for he loss and now feel that perhaps my idea of a model marriage does not exist.
Looking back, when I was 23 I was about as happy as I've ever been. I had yet to have loved and lost my first true love, my sister didn't yet have the cancer that finally killed her, I thought I would never get laid off from any job, I had a mother to lean on. You have so much to experience. You don't even know who you ARE yet! You sound whiney, girlfriend. Buck up!
At 23 I found great comfort in the "Tales of the City" books by Armistead Maupim. A reoccuring theme is that you can have a great apartment, a great job or a great boyfriend - but you can never have all three at the same time. So true!
...And the Jon Stewart tried to kill Bob Newhart! Where's the outrage? Oh the HUMANITY!
This is just "Junk Food" Christianity. It works as a quick pick-me-up, but has no real long-term spiritual value.
Kim Jong sang of his frustration in "Team America: World Police". Were we not listening?!?
There's no one
Just me onry
Sitting on my rittle throne
I work very hard and make up great prans
But nobody ristens, no one understands
Seems that no one takes me serirousry
And so I'm ronery
A little ronery
Poor rittre me
There's nobody
I can rerate to
Feer rike a bird in a cage
It's kinda sihry
But not rearry
Because it's fihring my body with rage
I work rearry hard and I'm physicarry fit
But nobody here seems to rearize that
When I rure the world maybe they'rr notice me
But untir then I'rr just be ronery
Rittre ronery, poor rittre me
I'm so ronery
I'm so ronery
Dear LW,
I have a stepmother like you. She entered my life when I was 10 and became my father's #1 priority. How does that feel for a child? Abandoned. Lost. Lonely. Resentful. Helpless. When's the last time YOU felt this way? Did you like it? Did you have options? This child has no options. He is at the mercy of the adults around him. That means you. You sound petty and mean. And by the way, my father's life totally revolves around his wife, his only companion. They are both retired and see very little of his side of the family because he chose her over his children. Very sad. Welcome to your future.
I am often perplexed at the way women see themselves. Have you ever seen advertisements for the "Business Women's Expos" that roll into town every once in a while? They offer lots of lectures about fashion, hormones, cooking and sex. Not much in the way of managing your finances or planning for retirement or starting your own business (you know, MAN stuff). Do women actually find these events empowering as a tool to "make it to the top"? I think they are quite demeaning.
Americans love a story about a big, dumb guy who just doesn't know when to give up. They elected Bush twice!
When will the public realize this is all being done for entertainment value. Just sit back and enjoy it, like wrestling. I personally like to pretend that this is all just years of unresolved sexual tension between them that is finally surfacing. Oh Donald, peel me like a grape!
As the premier of the new season of "The Apprentice" draws near, they will kiss and make up on The View as a segue to promote his new show. Ta da! Great for publicity. He did the same thing with Martha Stewart last year.
People, people, people...have we learned nothing from Paris Hilton throughout this past year. She befriends you, makes you feel important, poses along side you for pictures, but once you take it too far and flash your crotch, she'll dump you like a hot potato. Celebrity and foriegn policy have a lot in common, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, there was just one X-Files movie. Just one! We need another, now more than ever!
Boy, this is really turning into the year of the Heroes. First the Retired Generals came out against the war, with their stories of how they knew the inpending war was wrong, but stood by and did nothing to stop it. Then Clarke writes a book about how he knew it was wrong too, but did nothing to stop it. And now here's Tenet saying the same thing? These men are being portrayed as heroic for finally speaking out? All evil requires is for good people to sit by and do nothing. They are all cowards.
This guy did nothing wrong. He was in prison because he lost his laptop and his phone card wouldn't work and it was the holiday season and the flight crew was rude and he's muslim. It was all just bad luck. God save the queen!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
