Adriana Cohen: Cherished dad was best pal
Boston Herald ^ | june 21, 2015 | Adriana Cohen

“My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life,” Lee Iacocca once said.

Well, my dad was one of my five, until the day he died a few years ago. Each Father’s Day that passes, I’m grateful he was in my life.

Growing up in a middle class New Jersey suburb, my father, Larry, not only was a good provider, he also did the lion’s share of parenting while my mother was busy going to college, getting a doctorate and then working full time as a college professor. For 18 years, my father stepped up and not only supported my mother as she pursued her education and her career, but he also took over the bulk of parental responsibilities while my mother was studying or working.

He was a good husband and liberated man, long before it became the norm for modern parents to share child care and household responsibilities.

And here you are again, pimping a single source to drive traffic away from here to where you can profit by it.

Isn’t that a bit like theft, this free advertising you are doing?

Adriana Cohen is a legitimate columnist for the Boston Herald.

She is a also highly respected pundit on TV (I saw her last night on Fox News.) appearing on CNN, The O’Reilly Factor, Lou Dobbs Tonight, CBS, Fox Business News, Fox & Friends, Your World w/Cavuto, Justice w/Judge Jeanine, Hannity, Morning Meeting and several more media outlets.

Lets not chase her away.

Lets not chase her away.

Even if she's just here to avail herself of the traffic?

She is a also highly respected pundit on TV

So that makes her entitled to something?

Her actions HERE are suspect, not her supposed credentials elsewhere.

And you missed a couple good parties.

“She” is not here at all, it’s someone who appreciates her writings.

So she has no “actions” here.

Her being highly resected in Conservative circles gives her the credibility for her columns to be excerpted and posted here. Her writing is quite good.

Throw her in the dumpster where Andrew Breitbart was tossed if her posts bother you so much.

It will be FR’s loss just as Breitbart being falsely accused was.

Going to a party right now actually! Elk, wild hog and some other stuff on the grill.

Ah. Proxy-pimping. You assume.

Her being highly resected in Conservative circles gives her the credibility

Really? Why? Is she better than the rest of us?

Her writing is quite good.

So?

Throw her in the dumpster where Andrew Breitbart was tossed

I never tossed him anywhere. Besides.. he's dead.

It will be FR’s loss just as Breitbart being falsely accused was.

Some excerpting blog-wanker is the equal to Breitbart because.. why?

Pimps, pushers, paid shills and sockpuppets.. all bad news.

I hope the party was fun, the menu sounded good!

Nice essay. A good counterbalance to the usual whining about deadbeat dads and alcoholic, abusive fathers that are so popular on Fathers Day.
