And if Costas wasn’t such a committed Lie-beral, we might get some real dialog on the real problem here.
Case in point: Local fish wrap and birdcage liner doing its annual beg-a-thon for those in need was highlighting a former postal worker and “single mother of 3”. What struck me is that she and her “babies” had FOUR different surnames. I understand in this age of woman’s glib that some women choose to retain their birth surname after marriage, but each of the children had different surnames.
Sounds like her baby daddies didn’t have the desire (or ability?) to maintain any kind of relationship with their progeny after the fact.
IMHO, it’s stories like this that are met with a shrug by the general public (instead of an any kind of shame) that are behind crap like the tragedy in Kansas City.
Family was a single mother with a boyfriend du jour and 3 kids (one was biracial). Of course, everyone was in tears over how the show was going to help them, poor victims.
Now what I'd like to see is these shows revisiting their projects a year later. I'm sure this particular family would have a new baby, a new boyfriend and the house a wreck again.
