SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Tough talking radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger's 19-year-old son will join the U.S. Special Forces later this year - an endeavor that could take him to the Middle East.

Schlessinger, famous for doling out conservative advice on her nationally syndicated call-in show, told about 300 people at a 425th Civil Affairs Battalion event on Saturday that she wasn't too worried about her son, Deryk Bishop.

"I'm sure she is a fine person. ... But hearing her berate the poor, confused souls that call her is unbearable."

Not to deny your impression, but there are very many women out there who need someone to talk to them like her, like their own mothers. My stepmother was one of them -- basically a simpleton, couldn't make up her mind about common sense matters: "My husband came home grumpy today. He's been grumpy all month. Should I divorce him?" So many women have such addle-brained nonsense in their heads that they need Dr Laura.

There are other precious ones:

"My 15-year old daughter has been dating a guy for a year. She admitted they have been having sex. Should I let him spend the weekend at our house in her bedroom?"

"My 16-year old son doesn't want to attend church with us anymore. He wants to go with the youth group on Sunday evening. Should we let him?"

Don't listen to her if you must, but don't forget to recognize that lots of folks need her advice and she's doing them a favor.

"They could hire a robot to do her job."

And yet, amazingly, they don't. They must not be the marketing geniuses you and I are.
