And this guy wants to be President. (*Shudders and makes the sign of the cross*)

I'ts 400k per year. Which seems low given his wealth.

It happens because the courts - as well as most parents - don't want a child's standard of living/quality of life to drop precipitously when going from the custody of both parents to one of them, or from one parent to the other. If a parent has the money to make sure that their child's life doesn't undergo a complete…

Sorry to be that person, but maybe you shouldn't review the gossip rags then - I mean, this is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Is it me, or is Suri really starting to look like a computer generated composite of her parents these days?? She doesn't look real.

Probably not in a long time since Tom's church labeled her a suppressive. I guess the difference is that Suri is young and Tom has the choice to see her, not sure Nicole Kidman has many options when it comes to her children with Tom.

Whaaat? I can't believe that. 539 MAYBE but 540! Zenu have mercy on his soul!

I want this dialogue to be the very first two lines of a book. I don't know what the book would be about or what it would be called, but I want to open to the first page of a book and have it say:

*better

Hey, I said I was classy. The sprinklers went off during the magic moment. Second time we did it was in a graveyard. I wonder if he remembers me as fun or weird.

Because I have been in similar situations and did nothing I give this gift to all the young readers out there:

Trust me, Wino, after going to boarding school I really began to understand how the truly wealthy live - where they live, vacations, cars, clothes, etc. That was not us. You have seen too many movies.

I am 38 and started college when I was 16, so I am pretty sure I went to college earlier than the author.

I disagree. IB totally prepared me for college and its workload, especially in regards to writing essays and citing sources. As my chosen field also involves a lot of academic writing, it's still a help. I actually knew how to write an essay when I got to college, unlike a lot of kids who had to be told things like…

I agree with you. I am a white, upper middle class kid who grew up in a nice town. Our local public school was considered 'very good' but my parents 'made' all of their children attend boarding schools. Their philosophy was sort of like yours - the better schools will appreciate an Exeter grad just as much as they…

I suppose this is a good thing, teaching/reinforcing strict study habits at a time when kids have few other life responsibilities. I don't recall really having to make flash cards or form study groups with the top achievers in college (outside of finals) the way I did in AP classes, but it was certainly beneficial to…

True story: when I took my AP History exam, a girl I totally had the hots for was sitting behind me. It was a hot late-May day, so I was wearing shorts and sneakers with no socks. Because I was a Very Serious Student, I was hunched over the test, with my legs tucked under the chair. About an hour into the test, I felt…

Nope, definitely not the only one. My friends & I all took pretty much the same course load in high school (the two available AP classes junior year, full AP course load senior year), and I distinctly remember getting to college and wondering when classes started getting difficult. I figured it was because, being…

Here's a great way to feel old: Seeing questions from the current AP History test about events that happened after I took the AP History test.

I've seen these Riis photos a hundred times, but never realized until now that he'd captured the first TruckNutz.
