my best friend's one-year-old daughter died, and people have said the most absolutely ridonculous things to her that one could imagine.

Example (in a sympathy card): You are lucky that God chose your child to be an angel (this, along with an Xmas photo of the writer's very-much-alive children).

Another (religious) friend told her: "Don't you see? You don't have to worry anymore about Sophia catching a cold or getting hurt; she's safe with God now."

@mustardpony: Oh my god that is terrible. Particularly the xmas card offender. Here is what I have learned:Lots of people think they are kind and wonderful and sensitive when really they are the most cruel, passive aggressive sadists on the planet. ( Many of these people have reproduced and looove to scrapbook.)

That's all pretty horrible stuff.

There are certain people in this world who get dealt a bigger lot of crap than they, or most anyone, deserves. And others who skate by without a scratch getting a lot less than they appear to deserve.

It's this kind of thing that turned me into an atheist. If there is a god, it's not anyone I really want to speak to when this kind of thing goes on.

So, religious people, please fucking spare me those "divine plan" explanations for abhorrent, crazy crap like this. Any Supreme Being who includes shit like this in a "plan" is insane and I would just prefer to keep hissing when people bring up its possible existence. If it does exist and I met it, I would punch it square in the face.

@BxgrlJeri: Awesome.

Every so often I find myself talking with these nutbags who say that when a plane crash kills 200 people or when a schoolbus falls off a bridge, it was because god "needed" them. ..so he's going to put hundreds of families through lifelong trauma and sadness so a bunch of seven year olds can help him, um... mow the cloudy lawn or something..

@lobstr: A high-school alumna of mine's first husband was a closeted gay who ended up dying of AIDS after they divorced. She and her kids with him tested negative. She is now born again and says God saved her and her kids.

I'd love to argue, oh, so God is deliberately killing all those hundreds, thousands of poor AIDS orphans in Africa? But I don't argue. It would be a waste of my breath.

@BxgrlJeri: And don't even get me fucking started on people who swear their "guardian angels" protected them from some harm. So where was my niece's guardian angel when she was murdered? Taking a smoke break? Why do these people think they're so fucking special that their guardian angels step in to save them while aforementioned AIDS orphans in Africa are screwed? Gah.

Terrestrial radio is a dying medium. Coupled with frantic spending (and bad business decisions) following governmental deregulation of radio stations, Clear Channel fucked itself. It also fucked quite a few of it's employees, forcing them to donate to their pet (conservative) causes.

I feel horrible for the masses who are now paying the price for their idiocy.

The LA Times editor *could* pay the journalists on online revenues alone. Whether he *wants to* squander his online revenues on those no-good slackers and their journalizing, now, that's another question entirely.

What have you done with Hamilton, Owen? If you tried to mail him to DC, I have it on good authority that the rates just went up. Make sure you didn't use any duct tape on the outside of the box because the carrier ain't taking him that way.

With all his philandering, I'm surprised Sam Adams is not a Republican. He was cheating on his current partner the award winning journalist Peter Zuckerman with the teenager. From 1992 to 2004, he was domestic partners with Greg Eddie. Eddie successfully sued Adams' cheating ass for alimony and got some of his pension. Christopher Stowell, the director of the Oregon Ballet Theatre, dated him but was smart enough not to be in a relationship with him. Sam Adams is not a bad looking guy but he has more than a tendency to share his goodies with others. Fellow gays you've been warned!

Also the kids name is Beau Breedlove. Is that's not the name of a bareback porn star, I don't know what is.

What is it with powerful gays and their taste for much younger men? Not like straighties are any better, but there's only so many gays in power, would it be asking so much if they could find an age appropriate monogamous partner.

Those are some very bold statements, there, Owen.

Also, can the Knicks trade Eddy Curry for Amy Ruiz? Sam Adams and Curry would be happy as gay clams, and Amy Ruiz looks like she can play defense and not come to camp 50 pounds overweight. Everybody wins!
