Stupid Chick's Lucky
I've regretted this comment since I posted it because it was unduly harsh, and cast unwarranted aspersions on poor David. For those elements of my post, I apologize to both of you. However, to respond to your comment and to clarify, aesthetically speaking your appearance is fine, what I referred to was unattractive in the sense of "beauty is as beauty does." Similarly, by spoiled I meant you seem to be a classic example of how over-indulgence by well-intended parents in an attempt to install positive self-esteem, no matter what, can go horribly wrong. What I find particularly troublesome is your outspoken, strong dislike for children (though you tolerate your nieces and nephews in carefully measured doses), and your attitude that you are simply too bitchen, and too fabulous to be expected to honor such banal and bourgeois traditions as shared family holidays and birthdays. I see you as a classic example of what is wrong with America's emphasis on individualistic values and our addiction to instant-gratification, over collectivist values and making decisions based on what is best for humanity, now and generations into the future. The "breeders" you so vehemently despise, are necessary for the perpetuation of the species. You're welcome.— February 6, 2011 11:15 a.m.
Stupid Chick's Lucky
The first thing I said to my husband when I tried to read Barbarella's column this week for the first time, (it took me several attempts to get through it due to my racing heart rate and elevated blood pressure), was “why does it not surprise me that though she was in an accident involving a bicycle rider colliding with her car, she is put out and rolling her eyes and sighing, saying ‘the stupid chick’ is lucky…’” Despite the details of the accident, can there possibly be a more self-centered, self-involved, unattractive, entitled bitch than Barbarella? I often wonder what kind of man David must be to not only put up with this neurotic, spoiled princess, but to have actually married her, despite his initial reticence, until I remember her early allusions to S&M and her being a dominatrix, and I realize he’s simply gotta be a masochist. (Could you just hear my audible sigh? It was accompanied by an exaggerated eye roll…) I just really feel sorry for her poor family.— February 5, 2011 1:30 p.m.

Reply to Bryan Varela (The Language of Politics): It is a common misconception that the Clinton administration was responsible for NAFTA. It was actually proposed and put in the works by Shrub's daddy George H.W. Bush in 1991. He just couldn't get it passed in a single term. (Not to defend the Dems - just more proof that there's not that much difference between them and the repugnicans...)— August 23, 2008 6:17 a.m.
