Rosie O'Donnell, however, is clearly off her meds - someone needs to refill her prescription.

I think they got some of them wrong, I know they got # 73 incorrect (or incomplete)

Based on their list, I would make a decent guy.

I still throw like a girl, though.

Odd. Just odd.

Yossi Harel, who renamed the rickety ship he commanded Exodus 1947 and sailed it to legend as a symbol of the righteousness of the mission by Jews to settle Palestine in the face of British opposition, died Saturday at his home in Tel Aviv. He was 90.

This year, Brooke was not the best singer, but she was my favorite. I also loved the idea that another super-sweet Arizona girl might take it all. Tonight she got the boot.

Since they had already kicked off the best singers, of the remaining contestants, I thought she had a chance. I saw a story online today that said Carly Simon loved Brooke's voice, so I can see them working together to make an album that would be right in Brooke's wheel house.

Of those left, I think Syesha has the most polished voice. She is also gorgeous - definite star quality. She will absolutely have a career, probably on Broadway. She is also the only female now.

Jason Castro gets through, I think, on his looks and his 'vibe'. I think a segment of the audience latched onto his Jack Johnson-ness early on . . . and never realized the voice wasn't keeping up.

David Archuleta was the favorite from the start, so I am not surprised he is still going. He seems to be performing less and less convincingly as the weeks go by, as if the longer he is there, the more insecure he gets. I see his career as being short and ending in a tragic E! True Hollywood Story

David Cook? Just. Don't. Get. It. He is unattractive. He is pudgy. Balding. His voice is mediocre. He has been smart enough to steal cool arrangements of the songs he performs - but Simon acts as if David C. came up with them on his own. If he has a career, it will be in a cover band doing rehashed versions of rehashed versions of hit songs. Would any of you actually buy his album?

No real talent left, and no Arizona girl in the running - unless they have a great mentor in the next weeks, there is just no reason to watch anymore.

Some excerpts:

My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling "Bravo!" in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)

And no matter what women decide - settle or don't settle - there's a price to be paid, because there's always going to be regret. Unless you meet the man of your dreams (who, by the way, doesn't exist, precisely because you dreamed him up), there's going to be a downside to getting married, but a possibly more profound downside to holding out for someone better.

My friend Jennifer summed it up this way: "When I used to hear women complaining bitterly about their husbands, I'd think, 'How sad, they settled.' Now it's like, 'God, that would be nice.'"

I agree with a lot of her points, not so much with others.....

Ladies, what is your take? Gentlemen?

Not sure which pages contain cuss words since I try to edit those out...maybe one of Lori's comments ;-)

(saw it on 3Ts blog)

Every time.

more. more. more. more.

The mortgage company just called my office to verify employment. Since I answered the phone I told him he should talk to someone else and handed the phone to M.

The first thing he asked her was, "Is she still employed there?"

Um, yeah, here's your sign.

(2) There are two organizations pushing for change in November--al Qaeda and the Democratic party. And they both have the same message: "We're going to fix you, America." On the whole, the terrorists have a more straightforward plan for fixing things. They're going to blow themselves up. Although, come to think of it, Howard Dean did that.

Wow, how bad do you have to be as a lefty to make Michael Moore disgusted?

No, it's moral backbone, and there's no program that will implant one where it is absent. And so the cycle is now in a self-fueling frenzy — boys grow up without men to guide them, and girls grow up desperate for male attention, and when they meet, a new crop of neglected children is produced

Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself "as often as possible" while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

Sick. Sad. Wrong. Tragic.

Unbelievable

UPDATE: I had my doubts when I first read this, but was persuaded by the publication of the story in the official Yale news. Perhaps I should doubt that, as well, and realize that a campus publication is even less likely to fact check than a traditional big city paper of record. Newsbusters certainly isn't buying it.

UPDATE: Several hours after my last update, the major news sites were still listing this story as true - then quickly changed it to "creative fiction" There are facts that seem to remain - "The stomach-turning display will be showcased next week — complete with depictions of blood samples and videos purportedly from the terminated pregnancies." "Shvarts described her project to the Yale paper as a huge cube hanging from the ceiling and swathed in plastic sheeting smeared with her blood from the reported miscarriages. Videos taken of what the college student claimed were self-induced abortions in her bathtub will be projected both on the cube's sides and on the gallery walls." She still seems to consider abortion, or at least the idea of it, artistic.

I stand by my early reaction: Sick. Sad. Wrong. Tragic.

The story has managed something, Pro and Anti abortion groups alike expressed their outrage and concern.

UPDATE: She claims it isn't "creative fiction" as Yale claims, but in fact that she "conducted artificial inseminations and carried out what she characterized as self-induced miscarriage procedures"
