When I entered college in 1969, women were bursting out of theirs 50's chrysalis, shedding girdles, padded bras and conventions. The Jazz Age spirit flared in the Age of Aquarius. Women were once again imitating men and acting all independent: smoking, drinking, wanting to earn money and thinking they had the right to be sexual, this time protected by the pill. I didn't fit in with the brazen new world of hard-charging feminists. I was more of a fun-loving (if chaste) type who would decades later come to life in Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw. I hated the grubby, unisex jeans and no-makeup look and drugs that zoned you out, and I couldn't understand the appeal of dances that didn't involve touching your partner. In the universe of Eros, I longed for style and wit. I loved the Art Deco glamour of 30's movies. I wanted to dance the Continental like Fred and Ginger in white hotel suites; drink martinis like Myrna Loy and William Powell; live the life of a screwball heroine like Katharine Hepburn, wearing a gold lamé gown cut on the bias, cavorting with Cary Grant, strolling along Fifth Avenue with my pet leopard.

She has no point, she is nuts. Michael leaving her drove her over the edge.
More than that, the realization that Michael only was keeping her occupied in order to stop her anti-Clinton columns, then dumped her as long as he didn't need to babysit her.
The "sophisticated MoDo" was rolled like a chump. THAT is what sent her over the edge
Correct I meant to , I gleamed my generalization from observation, books, TV and movie plots. It is not evil to generalize.
This woman still hasn't grown up. It's really pathetic. I'm going to pray for her.
Oh c'mon. Just another self-absorbed, self-loving baby boomer.
Ain't nothin' she wrote ain't been said before.
Are you kidding, she use to write anti-Clinton columns? Holy smoke, you mean she use to be sane? Damn, I can`t imagine it! My oh my has she fallen far into that abyss of liberal lunacy! I`ve heard about cases like that, perfectly sane intelligent people turning into babbling dribbling mental patients because they were dumped by someone. I wonder if she ever does a search on her name and pictures of CZJ from Freep pop up and she goes into a head banging fit. Bwa ha ha! Hey look! It`s true! look at the first picture.......
