i HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT DR LAURA WAS VERY STRANGE....for one thing she doesn’t have her PH D in psychology.

She also appears very rigid and talks a lot about how mothers should not work outside the home...yet she worked outside and had a carreer when her son was young.
There is just something phony about this woman.

Not the least of which is her using her servicemember son as an advertisement for herself in an attempt to increase her audience. Whether any of this myspace stuff is true or not, the unnecessary publicity about him assured him a bad time in the Army. And BTW - I really doubt that she raised him to be a warrior.

According to Dr. Laura she’s a recovering ex feminist. During her early years she worked and did many things she’s ashamed of now. We all change.

She’s not always right but she’s changed a lot of lives in the process.

“i HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT DR LAURA WAS VERY STRANGE...”

No, it’s very simply. She’s the latest incarnation of the old Jewish Court radio programs.

As some here might recall, large Jewish populations (NYC) used to have their own court system for civil matters, and to get direction of various dilemmas (”Is it right to say to my mother...”).

The trials were broadcast, kinda like Divorce Court of its era, due to the popularity of the advice as well as the “Jerry Springer” entertainment value.

Some of these old broadcasts were in Yiddish, and are now being preserved — http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2002/yiddish/

Judge Judy is another example of this kind of “Jewish Court” program.
