When both of these guys left public office a few years back, like cockroaches who’ll survive nuclear war, I knew we hadn’t seen the last of them. I was right. Former Republican Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina was just elected by a landslide to his old House of Representatives seat and Democrat Anthony Weiner, […]
Bioethicist Daniel Callahan, in a recent editorial published in the Hastings Center Report, suggests that fat people should be shamed into losing weight. His strategy involves “social pressure combined with vigorous government action.” There are lots of reasons why people are fat. I’m not about to sit in judgment of why someone is fat because […]
I’ve written more than once about Anthony Weiner. In case you forgot who he is, he’s the U.S. Representative who tweeted nude pictures of himself, and, of course, initially denied they were pictures of him and eventually had to resign from Congress when the evidence was stacked up against him. At the time, I said, […]
Rielle Hunter, the “mistress” (news reports’ name for her, not mine) of John Edwards once described herself to Oprah as a “private person.” She probably doesn’t know what the word “shame” means and I guess she’s not all that “private” anymore – she’s crawled out of the woodwork to talk about her sordid life in […]
I recently wrote an article about my disdain for Hollywood remakes and someone commented and said “I strongly suggest you step out of your age-ism and try really hard to recognize that the world we live in is not the one you grew up in.” Well, clearly I’m aware that the world we live in […]

I’m probably not the best person to be writing about this subject. I’m the gal […]
When I heard Robert Duvall speaking with Mike Huckabee last year about his film, “Get Low,” I knew it was my kind of movie. It’s the story of a man who wants to throw his own “funeral party” while he’s alive and have people come and tell stories about him and is loosely based on […]
So, a few weeks ago, my nephew sent me a link to the following webpage, “W Magazine Replies to Kim Kardashian’s Tears Over ‘Porn’-y Nude Pics.” Let me start out by saying that I find anything Kardashian disgusting and try to avoid reading about Kim or the rest of the litter. I still remember […]
Link: MADE IN JAPAN After seeing no reports of looting in Japan after the devastation that has occurred, I decided to do a little investigating and wrote a few words about it.
Link: Good Choice? In what world does this 19-year old live in that she thinks taking off her clothes for Playboy is a “good choice?”
