Sarah Palin’s Facebook note, written yesterday morning.
I think it’s cute when she pretends she can read.
(I had a friend who would always skip the “On the next Arrested Development” part because he insisted he could just, “See it on the next episode.” He was insisting this two and a half seasons in.)
It was a roller coaster of emotions.
[He said,] “I don’t love you anymore. I’m not sure I ever did. I’m moving out. The kids will understand. They’ll want me to be happy.”
But wait. This isn’t the divorce story you think it is. Neither is it a begging-him-to-stay story. It’s a story about hearing your husband say “I don’t love you anymore” and deciding not to believe him.
Um, oh hells no.
The author of the piece then details how she decided to wait around for her husband to come to his senses and “love him from afar” while he did things like not being present for family functions and missing her birthday. But it’s all okay now because he, like, totally loves her again and it was just a phase.
I have to believe that if an adult who is supposed to have full control of his or her faculties says they want to leave, the proper response should be, “That rectangular thing over there is the door.”
From a post in the ever-amusing rants and raves section of the Detroit Metro Craigslist.
The poster then goes on to say that U.S. unemployment will rise to 25% or maybe even 30%, thus leading me to believe that this person measures the world’s population in the zillions, possibly gajillions.
CNN: Do you think the idea that you need to teach girls how to use text messages to pick up guys is a little sexist?
Debra: Sexist? Oh absolutely not. I think it’s about empowering women to have the time to come across exactly the way they want and in the best light.
Olivia: I think flirtexting is all about empowering. It’s all about you choosing your moment.
That is some QUALITY journalism right there, my friends. Quality. It’s what I love about CNN — Sometimes the news scares me what with all the war and recession and third world countries and gay rights, but then CNN is there to help me with flirtexting and I don’t have to use my thinker-thingamajig.

Gee, it’s almost like fooling around with a fellow reality TV contestant for the whole world to see isn’t good for a relationship.
