so I'm walking across Park Avenue and I look up to a 50ish-story building right next to the Pan Am Building. There's a big point at the top of the building and on top of the point stands an American Flag. So, who do you suppose is the sucker who has THAT job?  |

...not to hijack a thread...just borrow it. But does anyone else find it a little disconcerting that Lynne Spears (mother of Britney and Jamie) is writing a book about parenting? Apparently it has been put on hold indefinitely...but will be available on store shelves at some point in time.

When I read that this morning, I just about fell off my chair! Aren't subjects, like parenting, generally best left to people who know something about it?
Britney Spears’ mother Lynne Spears is writing a book on parenting for Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.
“It’s a parenting book that’s going to have faith elements to it. I don’t think it’s totally been written yet,” says the publisher’s rep, who expects the manuscript by December.
Lynne, 52, recently reconciled with her daughter after months of estrangement (though Us reports in its new issue that the singer has recently cooled things off again). Britney, 25, cut her mother out of her life and refused to allow her to see her grandchildren after Lynne entered the singer into rehab last February against her will.

It can't get better than this - courtesy of e-online! What should I get them for Christmas.......I know! A chastity belt!!!! Boy you can take the girl out of the trailer park...... Bucket o' Breeders
So, the fertile chicken leg doesn't fall far from the KFC, apparently. The Spears saga just gets better and better. Despite seeming like the sweet and innocent Spears sister, Jamie Lynn has gone and dropped a big-ol' baby bomb to OK! mag. The 16-year-old Nickelodeon star is preggers with the boyfriend she met at church, in case you've been hiding under a Bible as big as Brit-Brit's liquor bill. Apparently, Jamie wasn't saving herself for marriage like big sister Brit swore she was.She met him in church?  !!!!!!! Oh for God's sake....... |

Yup.
The thing is the sadness of it all - Christian parenting my whatever - yes you can preach to the rest of us - clearly a bit of backlash on those kids' part, bless em. Not a new thing but very public this time.
How on earth can it be Christian or decent to let that poor little girl be in that situation, let alone the poor baby, I will never understand.
Anyway, we're barring Zoey 101 (quite an interesting kids' show featuring Jamie Lynn). SUCH a bad example, that family. No regard for children's welfare, clearly, however you define it.

Honestly, when I saw the headline on Yahoo news I figured it had to be a joke! Britney and Jamie Lynne's mom writing a parenting book? Come on! I figured it must have come from The Onion or something.
My boys have watched Zoe 101. It is a crappy show, and now I can't even stand to look at the promos. What on earth were that girl's parents thinking?

There's a big point at the top of the building and on top of the point stands an American Flag. So, who do you suppose is the sucker who has THAT job? I always wonder about stuff like that! You know "hey what do you do for a living?" I have always felt bad for the poor guy who says I pump the s%it out the andy gump or I'm the guy who puts the flag on top of the Pan Am building. |

The joke of the whole thing would be if this supposed publishing house decides to go forward with the book after all of this.
Apparently the title of the offering was "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" And, yes, Mom, we see how that's worked out for you! And now your 16-year-old daughter is going to go back home to Louisiana so she can raise her baby in the midst of good family values???
My mind fails to identify anyone less deserving of so much publicity than this sad little family!
