    The headline makes it sound like she and the ad boarded together. When you fail out of journalism school, you get to work for the Post.

    She needs to do the Patty Blago thing and go on "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"


    She'll either become likable, like Patty, or be drowned during river volleyball.

    Got to admit, she's stylin', though. Also that I have a mom-crush on her, kind of like the one I had on Shirley Jones in 1971.

    She also withdrew $10 or 15 million from a Cohmad account just before her husband was arrested. The timing seemed more than coincidental.

    @BadUncle: Belgian Loafer (noun) - a person who idles around French Cafes in the West Village, in an attempt to seem French to the random passerby. Ex: The fool hung around Cafe Cluny every day reading Baudelaire, but the tacky beret gave him away as merely a Belgian Loafer.

    @BadUncle: They're these loafer-slipper hybrids that WASPs tend to favor. Usually constructed in a weird velveteen material they're supposed to be quite comfortable, however when you have to accessorize your shoes with a popped collar I tend to lose interest fast.

    Sometimes I want to take one of your comments and put it in one of those little glass globe things -- the ones that you shake up and the fake snow floats around awhile than settles to the bottom -- and put it on my shelf.
