Just posted some Zeta photos.
Anyway, a good cook wins every time.
Take a good look at Helen Thomas and you see Dowd in her later life. Sad and lonely , unhappy, and a nobody all alone, still angry at the world because she is too blind and stupid to GET IT. And worse of all see looks like Helen.
Hehe her brother says it all quite succinctly.
Interesting point though, if she thought her family were morons, she likely wouldn't point all this out. Additionally, it's unlikely she put her brother's email out there if she was making fun of it, not in the way she presented it. So one has to wonder what she's really trying to say.
Never said I was a good cook. *LOL*
But, I am apparently the only one in the household able to make a Christmas dinner like my Mam used to make.
My Mam wasn't the best cook in the world either...but we grew up on her cooking, and grew to love it! :-)
Thanks for posting this. I evidently missed it the first time it appeared here because I never read Maureen Dowd. But this one illustrates an important point. I think a prolonged adolescent rebellion explains why people like Dowd rage against the values their families embody. It's surely the reason some of the most ardent abortion defenders are people raised Catholic, sometimes in strict families. (In fact, NyTimes editor Bill Keller is one of those aged rebels.)
"So one has to wonder what she's really trying to say."
I'd say she probably lost a bet and her brother is just lovin' it.
Thanks for telling me. I'll now go to the "WayBackMachine" and read it several days ago, so I won't have to read it today.

And I bet I could out shoot her too. Hell, I've stuffed turkeys bigger than her.

I just hate it when the green-eyed monster takes possession of me.
I have a secret. I have a slight case of the "hots" for Maureen Dowd. I don't know what it is. I hate her. It must be something in my childhood. Maybe it's a "pity" thing. I just can't put my finger on it. Sigh.
This year, my brothers were on the warpath about news reports that Maryland public schools did not teach about Thanksgiving from a religious historic perspective.
Ok, all better.
Ouch. That'll leave a mark.
I'll go with the 'She lost an election bet with her brothers' theory.
I think maybe some of the left are finally getting it. I felt the same relief when President Bush won, relief that I wouldn't have to sit through four years of leftists gone wild like we did during the 8 years of Clinton. No more Gingerbread Christmas ornaments on the White House Christmas tree with cock-rings, nor the long face of John Kerry moralizing his way through each hand out and special program while he asks the American people to understand the pain of the terrorists which seek our destruction. Those that have disdain for all those things that have made this country strong and rush to the aid and provide sympathy to our enemies have no business leading it. That was the rebuke that was sent on Election Day, that we would not let "them" win. Those horrid alien beings, who wallow in the riches heaped on them by the American people in the indulgence of entertainment, who lift their noses high confused of their place, mud dripping fresh from their flanks having forgotten the way to their slopping troughs and wandering their way into the living rooms of their masters, soiling their way in their piggish pursuits and shallow imitations of humanity lecturing those who feed them with guttural indigence.
Its a male domination thing. I know exactly what you mean. ;-)
So, it's not just "us," right? We are *not* alone?
You can't believe how GREAT this makes me feel!
Maureen Dowd: Irrefutable proof that there is one rotten (bitter, fugly) apple in every family tree.
BTW, Maureen, Michael and Catherine called and they REALLY wish you'd stop hiding in the bushes outside their bedroom after the lights go out.
And one last note:
To the NY Times, could you please replace Maureen Dowd with her brother?
