Divorce cakes?

When I first read about this new trend of women celebrating their divorces — with cakes! — I thought the idea was hilarious. How can you NOT laugh at the cake (above) in which the ex-wife is taking the garbage out. Get it? And check out my favorite cake — via the Daily Mail –  [...]

When your partner is unfaithful

Ann Coulter, listen up. We are not to blame for society’s problems

Ann Coulter, what is your problem? We thought you were done picking on single moms. Apparently not. On “The Today Show” this morning, you said: “Look at any societal problem, and it is a problem of single motherhood.” When Matt Lauer implied that your comment was outrageous, you said: “It’s not outrageous. It’s a fact!” [...]
