Years ago I read his memoir and remember feeling so sorry for his girlfriend who he later married. He was a total f-up with no remorse. She probably considers what is going on with him now pure karma.

Producer 2: To be fair, she doesn’t know what any of the other words mean, either.

(UNINTELLIGIBLE YELLING)

Is he accused of embezzling, deliberately hurting people, sexually harassing people?

Shit, it’s been a dirty word for over a decade.

Why does everyone feel the need to comment on everything (while I comment on a story about others commenting)

I feel you, and changed my username finally so it’s the same person replying. But yeah it is unfortunate that this is the spokesperson rising to the top. I also just like. I would love to see statistics presented in a more cohesive form. You have to really weed through to find these ones and to get a sense of what…

The beauty would be to turn down the audio and just read the closed captioning — it’ll be fuckin’ nuts.

Nuance is a dirty word in today’s political climate. Shit, it’s been a dirty word for over a decade.

It would definitely come out as “stair decid-uh-ree?.... <trails off>.”

I do agree with your basic point. The system is flawed. We should fix it. We punish the poor and put strains on parent/child relationships. I don’t think anyone involved has that goal in mind. Except some of the legislators. But it’s happening.

It’s amusing that you would think she might somehow pick up “stare decisis” somewhere.

Is that from the Palin Ipsum generator, or are you that fluent in...her? Your just-adept-enough sprinkling of legalese makes me suspect the latter, in which case I bow to you because you’re some kind of insane genius.

I think maybe a personal essay isn’t the best way to shed light on the problem. Personal essays can be very powerful but they aren’t the only way to bring light to a topic. And they can even be counter-productive if the goal is to really start a conversation. An investigative piece interviewing lots of parents and…

Can Tina Fey actually have a show instead of Palin?

Given her extensive background in and experience with the law, I’m sure this will do for jurisprudence what Manimal did for biology.

This is good because it will lead to an inevitable Tina Fey SNL cameo.

My vote is for “The Half-Terminator”

I have read Donnell’s book Ghetto Celebrity and think he’s not being honest about the reason for his problems paying child support. It seems he has always put himself first before his kids and his wife and the years of self indulgence and living recklessly are coming back to haunt him. He has never grown up.
