'Tis the season to obsess about food

Thanksgiving yams, Chanukah latkes, Christmas cookies ... for me, they all add up to a holiday-size serving of self-hatred.

    Ayelet Ad Nauseum...

    The previous poster wrote:

    "What am amazing culture we've created, where you can get screamed at in letters for trying to honestly say what's on your mind."

    But it's Ayelet Waldman. Her whole raison d'etre at Salon -- and apparently, in life, to a large extent -- is to piss people off, exploit and embarrass her children for creative inspiration, and basically be slightly off her rocker, in order to generate controversy.

    Salon commissions her --> She writes --> We take the bait --> Page views go up

    Ohh boy, I can't wait for the Ayelet columns and controversies of 2006...

    * Why My Dog Takes ADD Drugs: And the Cat's on Paxil

    * My Hypomanic Morning at Walmart

    * Playdates: The Lazy Woman's Way Out

    * Why Good Mothers Never Make Chef-Boyardee

    And so on, ad nauseum... emphasis on the NAUSEA...
