Birds of a Feather Grow Closer to Death Together

Happy birthday to one of my favorite singer/actress/children's book authors. Actually, happy birthday to TWO of them.

Madonna/Esther and Kathie Lee Sweatshop each get to blow out another candle today. Happy Birthday to two of the most vapid, self-absorbed hacks ever to parlay a song and dance routine into a platform for delivering their views on world affairs to a frighteningly large audience willing to buy what they're selling (including religious kitsch from Jesus videos to red string). Why can't we hit the trifecta and make August 16th Streisand's birthday too?

I hope these two menopausal embarrassments are celebrating their special day together. Their families would totally bond - Frank is a huge Coldplay fan, and Apple would really love to have a big brother figure like Cody around.

BTW, I just gave Kathie Lee's website a courtesy hit today in honor of her 52nd and wandered over to her recipe page. "Kathie Lee's Sausage Stuffing" looked like it had some promise -- ...one wrinkly, washed-up running back with a wandering eye...3-1/2 cups Early Times... one little blue pill... -- but it turned out to be Stove Top with some Johnsonvilles thrown in.




Silly goose...bananas don't go there!

Thanks for leaving the children's books out of your post. I find them especially challenging and inspiring. Especially Lotsa de Casha.

This is the last installment of a 5 part childrens book series written by Madonna. This is also my favorite one and it was very emotional for me to read and it brought me to tears. The illustrations in this book are so beautiful drawn. This is my favorite book out all her books.

It is the story of Lotsa de Casha the most wealthiest man ( a cute dog) in the country who had everthing but was still unhappy. He could not figure out why when he had all these lavish things sorrunding him and still be gloomy. He even paid the best doctors to find him a "cure" for happiness and they could not help. He got more upset about this and was very desperate for an answer.

He finally agreed to see an old man ( a cute owl) about his problem. The owl told him the secret to happiness but Lotsa was still not impressed. He was pacing around the city and out of no where two monkeys rob him of everything he has and this event slowly shows him the meaning of happiness.

He was so sad that he was robbed out of everything. A bull comes along and said that he could help him get his things back but he would have to work for it first. Losta starts working by bringing beautiful things to other people in exchange getting something beautiful back. After doing this he starts to feel better about himself even sleeping better. He learns that being happy involves doing things for other people and not putting your self first all the time. He also learns once you do all these nice things you will be kindly rewarded which will make you feel better inside. At the end he even gives all his clothes to a begger on the street which he would have not done at all before. There are 5 interesting facts written in this book that deal with not being happy and being happy. These facts appear on the bottom of each page. I highly recommend this book for people even above the age 8. I am 36 and I enjoyed it immensly. It tells you a lot about life and how being selfish, have everyone do things for you and not sharing will not make you happy at all.
