She's STILL dead, folks.

All this hullaballoo about JonBenet Ramsey and her alleged killer. It was interesting for a few days. Now, even I, a true-crime aficionado, am weary of it all.

She's not pageant-pretty any more. Mommy's little kinder-'ho now looks like this and has for a while:










I don't know whose carcass that is (it's a photo I found on the 'net somewhere), but I bet he/she/it would have a great runway-modeling gig these days. Bones are beauty.

Probably the best CF article I've ever read

What makes this article a winner?

  • No pandering to parents by including their tut-tuts or ensuring quotes from CFers who "love children but don't want any of my own"
  • Acknowledgement of the existence of CF groups other than NoKidding!
  • Acknowledgement that some CF people just can't stand kids
  • Acknowledgement that children are acquisitions to so many parents, another status symbol to add to the list
  • Acknowledgement that today's parents think they invented parenthood and today's culture is far too child-centric
  • Mocking the celebri-breeder obsession and "Bump Watch" so common in the celeb gossip media
  • A slant that, for once, is pro-CF and not pro-parent or "aren't those CF the most interesting weirdos"
Don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself. It's a bit of a puff feature, not heavy-hitting news writing, but it's a good read.
