I think this is over until one or both remarry, have more children, date an almost D List celebrity (Noah Wyle!) or get arrested for drunken disorderly conduct at Nascar (Jon). #jongosselin
That means this is the last year I'll be able to wear my Kate Gosselin wig for Halloween. Another bad investment of a hard-earned $12.99. [www.buycostumes.com]#jongosselin
Man, I worry about those kids. They will be healthier by not being on camera, but I hope they don't go hungry because their parents are too maladjusted to support them.
Of course, they can also just look for a handout. See: Octomom & Duggars. #jongosselin
@BowlingForDollars: I wish I didn't know anything about this, but I think he does more than sell real estate. I think he owns commercial buildings and also a car dealership. I do know they have zero debt too. I am sure they make decent money fro the show they do too. #jongosselin
@PamBeesley: They also have a bizarre tax exemption for their home and probably everything they purchase for their home because their home is supposedly a place of worship. Also, each episode brings in over six figures. So unless those home perms are tuna casseroles are super duper expensive, they don't actually have to work all that hard to earn a living. #jongosselin
Brian, you're deluding yourself. This is all negotation. Jon was p.o.'d that the show was changing to "Kate Plus 8", said it was bad for the kids (though he did have ET there for his kid's b'day party last week), and is now just waiting to be bought off so "Kate Plus 8" can go on. #jongosselin
@FormerEnglishMajor: No shit. Even the Post article is pretty clear on that:
t's the end of the line for "Jon & Kate Plus 8" in its present form.
"'Jon & Kate Plus 8' is ending in mid-to-late November, as previously reported," a TLC spokeswoman said yesterday.
TLC announced last month that the once-popular show would be renamed "Kate Plus 8" beginning Nov. 2 to reflect the acrimonious breakup of Jon and Kate Gosselin.
That date has now been shifted to later in the month.
But sources say TLC is waiting until the bickering couple sort out some of their personal problems before reassessing the situation.#jongosselin
Sooo Jon & Kate Plus Eight is ending for good, just as Octomom's brood is getting old enough for some camera time...I think I see where this is going, and I don't like it. I don't like it at all. #jongosselin
@DahlELama: In twenty years will we get to watch LiLo holed up in a crumbling New England estate, pining for fame and taking care of 30 feral cats? I'd love to watch that show. #jongosselin
Born in San Francisco, grew up in New Haven, lives in DC.
Yep, sounds just like the typical conservative commentator: writes in favor of conservative "real America" Home Depot shoppers in suburban Kansas but wouldn't be caught dead actually living in that world.
Here's the most telling passage: "... and, inevitably, the tendency toward political corruption. The Republicans have their mistresses, but the Democrats are dealing with a more serious array of scandals: the Blagojevich-Burris embarrassment in Illinois, Senator Christopher Dodd’s dubious mortgage dealings in Connecticut, the expansive graft case in New Jersey, and a slew of corruption investigations featuring Democratic congressmen.
Translation: "Democrats are more corrupt than Republicans, you see. It's simply inevitable. (Although we Republicans DO like to fuck, it's true! Hee hee hee ...)"
@Nic Fit: Prop 13 crippled California and continues to do so. Thank Howard Jarvis for gutting the most illustrious, and practically free for residents, university system in the world. Sad. California and Florida shouldn't be in the same 'graph.
@Mediahohoho: When you buy a house in California, your annual property taxes are 1% of the purchase price (with small increases each year). My understanding is that the 1% figure is actually fairly high in comparison with most states.
Whenever I visit the red home state of my honey I am struck by the number of boarded up businesses and the thriving "pay day loan" (legal loansharking) establishments on every block.
Also, wondering if Texas would still like to secede, given the immense amount of water it is about to start receiving from its neighbors to the north.
Finally, thank you for adding "reasonable conservative" to my lexicon of oxymoronic phrases. It's right there with jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.

I hear you, Pareene. Douthat should be forced to pay some sort of fee to Kotkin for such "borrowing," right?
