• Palin: Women Who Don't Support Other Women Go to Hell

  It's not a good sign when a potential president fouls up a famous quote, particularly when she's reading it off of a piece of paper and when she picked it up from a Starbucks cup earlier that morning. At a California rally yesterday, Sarah Palin told an enthusiastic crowd, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women." Watch the video after the jump. Read More...

• Brad and Angelina Open Children's Clinic in Ethiopia

  If only all fame and fortune were channeled into the common good.... Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $2 million to start a center in Ethiopia for children with AIDS and tuberculosis. About 900,000 children in Ethiopia have been orphaned because of AIDS, and the country has the seventh highest rate of tuberculosis in the world. Though curable, tuberculosis continues to ravage the population in large part due to inadequate treatment. Read More...

• The Best Parenting Advice EVER

  A while back I went to a baby shower, and the host had everyone write down their best advice on parenting for the expectant couple in an album. When it was my turn to come up with some pearls, I paused. The truth was that the very best pieces of advice were rarely about whether or not to co-sleep or use a pacifier (um, for the baby, yo) or wait an extra year for kindergarten, though those are topics of much anxiety for parents. And the top words of wisdom I got almost never came from books or the doctor or even my closest people. Parenting is funny that way. You depend on the kindness of strangers for very general and life-saving stuff.  Now one of my closest friends is about to have a baby any day now (on her own, too---she got tired of waiting for a suitable life partner and knew she wanted kids) and I thought I'd again ask people I don't know for something helpful. Here's... Read More...

• Help me pick a Mother's Day gift (still)

  Thanks to everyone that weighed in here about what would make a good mother's day gift for the wife. Since I still haven't gotten anything, I thought I'd keep asking. Lots of options out there, of course, including this one that Redsy mentioned. Here are a couple of others: Read More...

• Help me pick a Mother's Day gift (please)

  Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11th, and I'm out of gift ideas. So I'm asking you, the readers, to help me out. I'll post some items and you give me a "yea" or "nay" in the comments (even a simple "y" or "n" will do.) If you have any items you'd like me to consider gifting, leave that in the comments as well. First up: Supermom Pajamas. Read More... Posted Apr 22 2008, 09:00 AM by Brett Singer with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: gifts, holidays, supermom, pajamas, help, Brett Singer, mothers day

• Pregcellent: Babies Do Come With (Hilarious) Instructions!

  As a new parent, the whole baby thing can be overwhelming, to say the least. There's this idea we should just know how to do stuff naturally, like breastfeeding or interpreting the baby's cries correctly with little or no instruction. But of course, it isn't that instinctive. The lucky moms and dads have good relatives and friends to share parenting pearls with, and of course there's tons of books on the subject as well. But other people can get annoying with the constant advice, and the books are by and large dull as bleaugh.  That's why I think nothing is quite as good at breaking down what to do and...

• Free Money!

  Congressional leaders and the White House hammered out an agreement for a plan to send cold, hard cash to millions of American families sometime this year. The free money, which amounts to billions of dollars, is an effort to stimulate the economy and get American taxpayers to start shopping again.  Some details: Read More...

• Best of Famecrawler: Good Help is Hard to Find

  Post by Bad Kitty   Victoria and David Beckham, here with 4 year old son Romeo and Victoria's incredibly expensive handbag, are having some domestic troubles. That is, "domestics" trouble -- their two nannies just quit in a huff. I hope you're sitting down, because this will be shocking: it seems that Victoria can take a tone at times. And she expected them to be her hand maidens, doing dishes, laundry, cooking, and probably whatever else came into that so stylish head, like going to fetch a blow up doll to fool the paparazzi. I know. The shaking just stopped for me, too. Read More...
