The breakup has been civil, concerning no known third parties, the Post says.

Larry: “I’ll use as much darn TP as I want!”
I wondered whether she and Sheryl Crow were more than friends when they were touring.
Never heard of either one. I guess I’m supposed to be shocked . . . or something.
I’m betting he’s feeling pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty bad about this.
I’m sorry, had to be said.
Who gets the carbon credits?
Pity.
Now that's funny!
My thoughts exactly. The TV interview while still in their PJs was a dead giveaway.
Larry David co-created ‘Seinfeld’ and created and stars in ‘Curb Your Enthusaism’.
She was killing Independent Larry.
True.
Who are these people, and why should I care?
I feel sorry for the kids, but Larry must be a saint for putting up with this horrible woman.
This was supposed to be the Summer of Larry!
I wish them both well. Larry David is a genius.
It will be now. Barring shrinkage, of course.
You’re not alone, I don’t know who they are either.
When she didn’t die after personally sealing all the invitations to the premiere of An Inconvenient Truth, Larry knew there was no alternative but to go ahead with the divorce.
Laurie David has been subject to persistent criticism for being less than consistent in her environmental positioning. For example, she was fined by a local regulatory body on Martha's Vinyard for violating local environmental ordinances in the construction of her large home.[5] Further, The Atlantic Monthly has termed David "a Gulfstream liberal". The magazine asserts that, "Laurie David, who dedicates herself to fighting for improved fuel-economy standards and reviles the owners of SUVs as terrorist enablers, gives herself a pass when it comes to chartering one of the most wasteful uses of fossil-based fuels imaginable: a private plane."[6] By way of comparison, David's choice to use a Gulfstream aircraft to fly between her large Los Angeles home and her large Martha's Vineyard home is some ten times less efficient than using a standard Boeing 737.[7] In an interview with The Guardian in November of 2006, Ms. David acknowledged that owning two homes on opposite sides of the country and flying in a private jet several times per year is at odds with her message to others. In the interview she notes "Yes, I take a private plane on holiday a couple of times a year, and I feel horribly guilty about it. I probably shouldn't do it. But the truth is, I'm not perfect. This is not about perfection. I don't expect anybody else to be perfect either. That's what hurts the environmental movement – holding people to a standard they cannot meet. That just pushes people away."[8]
If the standards cannot be met by her, what makes her think that the rest of us either can, or want to.
Or is it just that she's "special".
I clicked on the thread to see if I could figure-out who they were. Not a chance.
