    I saw this on HuffPo. Could not believe it, but I saw it. Tried to comment but you know, they do not allow negative energy there. Happy, happy, joy, joy! Every post! All the time!
    Even so, this was such a grotesquerie--no qualified woman, anywhere? Seriously?--it was so obviously bogus. The most he can aim for is (mostly)male Oprah.

    This Buckingham dude is just another Douthat, albeit in a much, much prettier package.

    @♥♥♥: My straight girl geighdar is pinned to the right and in the red. It wouldn't be the first time women seek the non-mean girl opinion of an objective dude--that he's purdy, all the better to mystify the illusion.

    As is typical for New Yorkers and their liberal media, the level of ignorance on this Online Internet Blogg is truly shocking! Here are a few simple ways that da ladiez can learn to achieve happiness and not stay trapped in hairy-armpitted hell forevers. Aight?

    1. Beers don't move themselves. Srsly.
    2. Always walk two steps behind your DH. What's good enough for Def Leppard is good enough for you.
    3. Tea-bag the President. Tea-bagging successful, good-looking black dudes is very satisfying. It fills many voids. Many of them spiritual.
    4. Yo lesbian! What's with the short hair?
    5. Know what happens if a baby isn't growing in your uterus? That's right. Satan sends a tiny muslin to grow in there instead. Or a tiny socialist. Usually a muslin.

    See? Who loves ya, baby?

    @Grim Reaper of the Forest: There are two kinds of drummers: those who drum in my son's name for a nice Christian band. And good ones. The latter usually end up with third degree burns from roasting in Hell. John Bonham used to sip chamomile tea with Satan on rainy evenings.

    Duh, in order to be happy, ladies need handsome men, ice cream, chocolate, Oprah, sassy gays, and sassy black lady friends to serve as supporting characters. Ladies also need nice clothes. Ladies should also be skinny. And ladies should mostly stop complaining.

    Also, I saw Tony Robbins' personal financial statement once. I can't remember why, either.

    He calls himself the "leading expert in personal strengths" -- your "shiftless guru" is more accurate, though not as unintentionally hilarious.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: IS it prosthetic? I always wondered. Hmmm. Makes sense, now that I look it.
    Prosthetic jawbone of ass.

    You know, this could be a good thing. I'm fairly sure similar thinking led to the invention of the vibrator.

    Apparently, his book is all about "What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently"...
    What I want to know is:
    a. How do people get into this type of 'business'?
    and b. How can I?

    Life was so much happier when men told women when to be happy about what. Thanks for the cozy nostalgia, Buckingham; nostalgia makes me happy.
