    I LOVE Susan Mendik, I don't know why.

    She seems very cool. Plus, the golf thing -- plus 10.

    I just read Bess Rattray Vogue piece on her adoption of her baby in some article that was admonishing Madonna for her adoption of her children from a country that doe snot meet Bess's standards. She has some fucking nerve with all that is known about Ethiopia as a corrupt nation and adoptions in particular. There have been many reports about the specific problem of adoptions in Ethiopia. The State Department spoke about Ethiopia specifically in their address on World Adoption Day last week. She picks the worst but easiest country to adopt from but she criticizes Madonna for doing the same thing in a much harder environment. Madonna could have picked up a kid in Ethiopia in 5 seconds flat, but she fought long and hard for the baby girl that she connected with in Malawi and for that this woman decides to bring up Madge's $800 haircuts and celebrity? How many points can we deduct for hypocrisy ?

    Methinks Bess Rattray is a crafty wench. Grew up on the beach, descended from whalers, and then suddenly needs a sailing lesson in Maine? Something tells me that had there been a corpulent Mainah instead of a laconic Welshman lounging dockside, she would have sailed that boat just fine by herself.

    That rap is hilarious. I loved the name Rainbow Corcoran, normally I would also give her points for the Universal Life minister but since discovering The Alliance of Divine Love & The Church of Spiritual Humanism in last week's announcements the Universal Life ministers have lost their allure. Erika Savage is " an in-house counsel at Interscope Geffen A&M Records in Los Angeles" by day but "founder of PhemPhat Productions, an entertainment company in Toronto that promotes women in hip-hop and produces the annual Honey Jam concert, also in Toronto" by night. Susan Mendik looks AMAZING as a contrast I am offering the 25 years-old Margaret Bruton. I learned something new this week from the Sari Scheer- Samuel Kopel union. I had no idea that a synagogue could be named after a contemporary person .The Edmond J. Safra Synagogue- who knew?

    I refuse to follow links from this column, as much as I love it (it's like a cat that jumps into your lap every Sunday and then pukes the worst of East Coast establishment entitlement into your lap!), so a public must know: does 'below the waste [sic]' mean the peen is, um, something that rhymes with 'een' signifying 'not functioning'?

    @snugbug: dingdingding! My theory is that it originally said "a quadripeligic" but then they changed it (because the article notes that he later regained use of his upper body).

    It's probably dick of me to point that out given all the errors I have in these things every week, but that's the Internet for ya!

    @Phyllis Nefler: Maybe they meant to say "a partially paralyzed quadriplegic"?

    We should keep an eye out for the future corrections. Those are sometimes as much fun as the articles themselves! And no need to apologize for errors on a blog--it's not like there are 10 people reviewing your copy before it goes live, as it is the case with the NYT print copy..

    Hey, God? I would like to look like that sixty-year-old woman as a gift for my upcoming twenty-sixth birthday. Thanks.

    Also, this is the most I have ever liked couples in Altarcations, ever. Except for the happy lesbians who made me cry.

    I want what she's having, even if what she's having is minimally invasive. Ditto! He's four years younger than her, but he looks 20+ years older. If that's surgery, hers is the best I've ever seen, and if it's genetics, more power to her. (If it's clean living too, I may also stand a chance.)

    Really interesting & amusing post.

    By now this should be obvious, but I'm saying it anyway: There is one huge gap between Simple Sarah proclaiming her love for the written word, and the fact. I'd love to see someone quiz her on either of the two books she claims to have read. Shoot, I bet she can't even follow the illogic of her own book, come to that.

    @Tremonius: She must mean she loves it when the words she has to say into a microphone are written for her, so she doesn't have to answer any questions or make anything up on the spot, as she's sure to fail any time some smarter person's hand isn't up her puppet-ass.
