Actually, post 74 is what's uncalled for. That's the one that made me finish losing my lunch. Blech!

Bit of a drinker too, that one?

That could be a plus.

Hardin was overheard to have said, "I'll break your knee with my shoestring."

This brings to mind many questions and sadness about some girls and women I've known over the years.

I've never understood the pathology behind women repeatedly seeking out men who abuse them. You hear stories about women who go back to the men who beat them, and if they leave, find other men who mistreat them.

I've got an acquaintance who's in jail right now. She's there on drug charges, and I found out accidentally that she's desperately trying to get back together with the man who used to supply her with drugs, and beat the crap out of her. While she's in jail, he's in state prison, and will be there for at least another 3 years. I was shocked when I found out that the guy who badly beat her, and then had her arrested on domestic violence charges was a person that she loves dearly. A few days later, the judge threw out the charges, and reprimanded the officers, when she produced photos I took of the bruises on her face, chest, legs, and back. The guy had a scratch on his face, and that was enough for the police to arrest HER. And this is the guy she loves.

I just don't understand it.

Tanya Harding is (or was) an attractive, extremely talented athlete who threw it all away. Over and over again, we've heard stories of the guys she's chosen to share her life with. While it's easy to make jokes about it, it's an illustration of the sort of thing that's all too common.

Years ago when T. Hardin's story was hot, I heard a remake of "Brand New Key" that went like this:
"You've got a brand new pair of rollerskates,
I'm gonna break your knee."

Tonya Harding tussled in her home with a man she described as her boyfriend...

So that's what they call it nowadays.

Her website is really trashy. She has a "fantasy" section, written by her "fans" that has some really raunchy stuff on it (think Penthouse Forum, but with really bad writing...).

Kinda gross that she would put that on her web page, when she knows that kids might visit it.

"Heck, a bit more hair on her back and she could be Ron Jeremy's body double"

Dude you owe me a keyboard and a new can of Copenhagen. Your little line made me choke, and drop my can on the keyboard!

Reposting her pictures isn't going to change my mind. While I deplored Harding's behavior in the knee cap incident, I certainly was not taken with Kerrigan's whining either.
