Isn't this part of the tryptych of fallen icons? The Marilyn, Elvis, JFK troika. (They died tragically and too young is the spiel.)

How I am looking forward to the debates between Romney and Obama. The negative charisma of Mittens up against the guy who has actually been doing the heavy-lifting of the presidency for the last four years. And especially when Bain comes up and Mittens has to explain how he made money by destroying jobs. ([njtoday.n…

Nope. I thought it was remarkably cruel. But I always root for the tigers.

I think you're being really brave, too. The surgery you're going to have is daunting. And being scared about that is perfectly normal.

She's pretty much perfect as is, isn't she.

I had no idea my vagina could be such a liar.

This is being borne out in the rottenkitty household. I have a Fiat 500 and Mr. rottenkitty is on the wait list for an Abarth. I've had my 500 since July and haven't had any trouble with it. It's a fun little car, perfect for the city. Honestly, none of the ads for the Fiat have been very good. Perhaps that's…

My Fiat isn't. But we've agreed that our relationship is strictly of the fuck-buddy nature.

Bored now.

Yes, "smacks of desperation" is exactly what it says to me. It's an *opinion* FFS. And my opinion isn't terrible, nor is my attitude. I'm not fucking worried about Madonna. I'm just not obliged to laude her.

if you had actually read my posts carefully, instead of knee-jerking to the I'm-rubber-you're-glue level of discourse, you would see that I never said she couldn't do whatever the fuck she wanted.

Well, you're making some very interesting assumptions about me, my appearance, and my level of success, but by all means, assume away, it's a free country.

Madonna and I are the same age. As another 53 year-old woman, I gotta say, I feel as if she's doing us old gals no favors. There's nothing wrong with aging. And there's nothing wrong with saying, "You know, my ass is still adorable, but perhaps it's time it spent a little more time indoors."

You're most likely an introvert. (I'm one, too.) Being around other people is exhausting to me, even loved ones. I'm baffled by people who want to go to parties. But it doesn't sound like you're issue-y, most likely introverted.

I heart you and redpenplease. Sometimes it feels as if I'm yelling in the wilderness. Maybe I should get closer to town...

100% of PP's funding goes to women's healthcare!!!!!

Holy fuck! I *wish* I had written what you just said. Well-played, D&N,g!

Yeah, I read them all. Now I've got to clean my brains off the ceiling. What a collection of morons.

Amen. I'm a woman, not a Barbie-obsessed child. I don't need stereotypical pink everything to remind me I have a vagina. And Yoplait is some nasty shit.
