    Enough with the "enuf already"

    Enough with the complaining that Broadsheet isn't the place for this story. The whole TomKat brouhaha keeps our attention because of the weird Scientology angle. And when a religion dictates a woman's birthplan, to go against what most of us would accept as reality (that childbirth might make mom emit some unpleasant sound) then that is a perfect issue for Broadsheet, as it is an issue, in the news, that has a particular affect on women. Besides, in the first posting, Broadsheet was posed as being about more than just serious, straight-faced Feminist issues. "We'll also have celebrity dish and possibly fashion news. And jokes. Women are funny."

    So, fellow readers, next time you feel the need to tell us all about how you aren't going to read anymore -- don't.
