Seriously, if a beauty pageant asks you who you'd like to have lunch with, the answer is always Jesus.
Rounding out the Top Ten are Abe Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey, Ronald Reagan, Betsy Ross, your grandfather, Robert Pattinson, your grandmother, George Bush Sr., George Bush Jr., and that lady on the Supreme Court who achieved so much even if most of her views are wrong.
Too many stories, to much to do before Thanksgiving, so I stopped at "West Wing actress"...
She's not unknown to a West Wingnut like me. How I love to revisit my DVDs and hear the late, great John Spencer bellow from his desk, "MARGARET!" -- and NiCole Robinson would appear and be hilarious without fail.
I read the dog story. I have no thoughts on it. And I will wait till New Moon is on cable to see it. But thank you for the Talking Heads clip. It reminds me that I have to replace my broken Stop Making Sense DVD...
@unclevanya: OH. Wait. NiCole Robinson is Margaret? She's great! I still don't get why she's talking about J-Lo's dog, but she's awesome. They should've given her more scene with Lily Tomlin in the fourth season. And I stopped watching after that except for the last season.
Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe ought to form a support group for victims of capital-F Fandom, except that such a group would itself inspire terabytes of gay BDSM crossover fanfiction.
Reading this is like doing a bump off some club kid's ass.
I wait for it every Saturday morning in agony when I am stuck working.
Oh Foster, you make me love you.
@Foster Kamer: My son has a wicked ear infection right now. He does have drops to pop in his ears for pain -- Auralgan is the brand name. The drops work quickly. There is an OTC drop that works a bit, but not at well as Auralgam: Similasan Homeopathic Ear Drops for pain.
@momof3wildkids: No shit. #tips indeed. Also, a big #notafraidtobeservicey for you. Thanks. If I go to the doctor, will they give me the good stuff for pain? Because this shit hurts.
@Foster Kamer: There should be no issue to ask for a pain drop and get it. The Rx is a topical anesthetic so it isn't like codeine, oxy etc where you could get hooked.
There are many different names for the benzocaine drop, but you want benzocaine. Benzocaine is the key.
@momof3wildkids: Okay, so, update on The Great Gawker Weekend Ear Infection of 09: my local pharmacy (run by a bunch of Italian brothers, who diagnose most illnesses with "HA: Pussy.") told me I definitely need an Rx for Auralgan, so I had to buy this shit in the mean time:
@Foster Kamer: Yep, I've used it before. According to my son Patch, it doesn't work nearly as well, but it helps.
Get to a doc in a box (walk in clinic) when you are done today. The beautiful thing about ear infections is that they clear up fast w/antibiotics-- and the painkiller drops.
I believe the facility he's checking into is the: Reputation-Repair-Through -Addressing-My-Flaws Center located in Publicrelationsville, CA. #stevephillips
@xyzpdq: Not to be callous, but why is this assumed to be a "sex addition"? I know he claims he checked into a "facility", but just because he got busy with one co-worker (which is all we know so far), that doesn't make him a sex addict does it? If I smoke one joint, am I a drug addict? Just saying, because I don't think he should be able to claim that just to get himself off the hook. #stevephillips
@A Message To Rudy: From what I've read, Phillips has a history of extramarital affairs. Sex addiction (any addiction for that matter) is marked by compulsivity. You want to stop but you can't.
That being said, the only person who can decide whether or not he's an addict is Phillips himself. But when your behavior turns your life upside-down, like it did in Phillips' case, it may be time for him to consider that he has a very real problem. #stevephillips
@Charlotte Rae's Web: Call it what you will, it's up to Phillips to decide if he's an addict or not and wants treatment. I would think that a compulsion that results in you losing your job, your family, your spouse, your reputation and your dignity could be considered an addiction. #stevephillips
@Charlotte Rae's Web: Agreed. There are very few true sex addicts. sex addiction is the lame excuse people give when they get caught getting too much tail. #stevephillips
@xyzpdq: You can try to paint this as addiction but on the insanely rare chance he is, he's still in the wrong because he hasn't gotten help.
If you get caught cheating in grand style at work, a lot of things you listed can happen. But again, that's not necessarily addiction. It happens all the time and not all those folks are "addicts". Just because you are on, you can't assume anyone else who acts like an ass in this case is also one. #stevephillips
He'll do counseling and the requisite apology tour, then wind up right back in the sports media circuit somewhere. Just watch and see; he'll be just fine. Which is a shame, because he's obviously quite the asshole. I guess the wife got tired of the screwing around, especially since this time around it got very public and very ugly.
Brooke, however, is finished. I'm not making excuses for her because she's crazy, but it's a shame since she's young and he should have acted like the adult here. Exhibit X in the lesson that women never come out of these situations with their reputations intact.
Ah yes, The Facility for Addressing Personal Issues welcomes another shamed public figure who just wants to avoid reporters for awhile and possibly diddle the help. #stevephillips

Feel better, Foster! Although I must admit that I'm enjoying this slightly pain-crazed version of you.

Mind you, I've never purchased a homeopathic product in my life. This is a first. Desperate times. Also, I walked there at an angle. That was strange.
