IN THE NEWS
Coincidence? Surely it is just coincidence that so many of the latest magazines are swathed in foreboding black and white covers of failure, doom, and crunch time. Do these mags spy and then copy each other? The same thing happens with fashion too. Do Ann Taylor, J. Crew, Banana Republic, and the like all get the same email as to what colors to use and whether pants will be flared or straight?
The Mormon Thing -- and is it just my imagination or does CNN.com every day have yet another story on boy teen Mormon cast outs and girl teen Mormon run-aways. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with Mitt Romney running, could it?
If Britney Spears goes off the deep end it will because we have collectively driven her off the cliff. I can think of few pop stars the general public has so relished in seeing go down....
Inspiring college professors who teach 'Health and Wellness' classes (you know those stupid filler elective courses kids' parents pay thousands of dollars for) should better be held to some ethical standards here... It's GREAT that you are teaching my daughter that trans fats are bad -- along with hormone-ridden chickens, overly-processed foods, and grain fed cattle BUT THEN PLEASE GIVE MY CASH-STRAPPED CHILD ALTERNATIVES AS TO WHAT THE HELL SHE IS SUPPOSED TO EAT. Good the hell grief. And it was only yesterday (my childhood) that the best thing a mother could do was to place a nice T-Bone steak on the dinner table.
Off to London, Majorca, and Austria next week. Am particularly looking forward to Majorca.
