HOLY CARP!!!
They were wringing their hands about this on the local news tonight. They said it was a good excuse to talk to your teenager about teen pregnancy.

My thought is this: if you put a pregnant sixteen year old on the cover of a national magazine and give her a million dollars, or whatever large amount of money it was, more than a working class person makes in a decade, you are rewarding the behavior. To the extent that these young people are supposed to be role models, you have just sent a very bad message.

The media is all too happy to make money off of this type of situation while putting up a front of false concern, as usual.

Jamie Lynn is a celebrity? Why, because her big sister is?

Two words: Lorna Luft

Come on Dave, she made it on her own....I mean she dated Barry Manilow, didn't she?

jf

HEY! I saw Lorna Luft at Lancaster Festival one year. She was very entertaining and talented.

And Jamie Spears has a Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101.

And they both make more money than most of us.

Mik: I was speaking only of celebrity, not talent. Few know the name Lorna Luft, probably because, along with her career, she's been raising kids and leading a normal life rather than abusing cocaine like her older step-sister and marrying a homosexual who looks like a burn victim. (What is with that guy? You could use his face for a trampoline. Ringo could use it as a snare drum.)

I know who Lorna Luft is. What you say about how she lives her life may be true ... but she also never had the same talent. Was it choice or recognition of reality, or a little of both?

In addition, many of the problems that Britney Spears and her sister have are as a direct consequence of all the media attention they were given. The celebrity machine uses children and turns them into something awful, and then spits them out and leaves them to die.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

How to Talk to Your Child about Jamie Lynn Spears

A guest column by Davis Logsdon, Chairman of the University of Minnesota's Dept. of Psychology:

As a prominent child psychologist and the father of two tween girls, I have grappled with the same problem that many parents are facing today: how to talk to your child about Jamie Lynn Spears. While this is an issue that every parent must navigate for him or herself, here are some questions that your child is likely to ask, followed by the correct answers.

How did Jamie Lynn Spears get pregnant?

According to her mom, Jamie Lynn was a good girl who always respected her curfew and girls like that usually don’t get pregnant. So the answer is, no one knows.


Could Kevin Federline have made Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant?

No. This is one of those rare instances when someone got pregnant and Kevin Federline was not involved.


Now that Jamie Lynn is pregnant, will Zoey, the character she plays on Nickelodeon, get pregnant, too?

No. Remember, Jamie Lynn is a real person and Zoey is just a made-up character. Plus, Nickelodeon is owned by an angry old man named Sumner Redstone who doesn’t let people get pregnant. So there is absolutely no way Zoey will get pregnant. Instead, Zoey will get cancelled.


Could Hannah Montana get pregnant?

I thought we already went through this. Hannah Montana isn’t a real person. She’s a character played by Miley Cyrus.


Okay, then could Miley Cyrus get pregnant?

No, because her dad’s always around and he creeps boys out.


Are the girls on Disney’s “High School Musical” pregnant?

No, the girls on Disney’s “High School Musical” are not pregnant. They have been too busy posing for naked pictures on the Internet to get pregnant.


If I pose for naked pictures on the Internet, will that keep me from getting pregnant?

It couldn’t hurt

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D
