And they wonder why us boomers are so cynical about love. Here indeed is Exhibit "Right-Now".

Quarter bets on whether they make it to their first anniversary or not?

Sloppy-seconds to Hanoi Jane. Skanky.

"First you have the molested, troubled, and hot blonde babe..."

"Next you have the balding "Pulitzer-Prize" winning writer/professor who saves her from a life of "abuse" with "therapeutic" love, but can't keep it up. She was the best thing to happen to his vanity since the Pulitzer and he can't forgive her."

Shades of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. Only back then the crap was limited to print and TV and could be tuned out easier than this exhibition-palooza.

I love the Internet, but some days it's way, way, way too much info.

Given the titles of some of Butler's books (Tabloid Dreams and Mr. Spaceman, among others), it looks as if life is imitating "art."

Ack. Ack, ack, ack. And I just showered a little while ago, too. ..bruce..

As someone once said of Geraldo Rivera, Butler "leaves a ring around the room."

"You get to have money, fame, and indulge your perversions at will. We get to watch you whenever we want."

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! Great bon mot.

WOW! I am truly speechless (but have something to say anyway).

And the 'sloppy 2nds to Hanoi Jane' crack was good too. Being rich and elite in the good ole USA confers benefits which we have yet to plumb the depths of......... I think we are only starting to see how bad it can get.

Who's "Oren"? The name is Robert OLEN Butler.

Right you are, Mr. Butler, and I've fixed it. Other than that, what did you think?

What's the surprise here? Every woman's a whore if the price is right. Men are different - they'll settle for a good blow job.

How can someone so wealthy be so worthless?

I once met Ted who was with Jane at the time up in Montana. He was as ill-mannered as he was ill-humored. I came away thinking he was a man I would least like to be seated next to for any occasion that required even monosyllabic conversation.

I'm quite delighted to say that BUTLER is the one I'd never heard of. Did you *catch* his NPR interview? What a loser. I just hope his Pulitzer Prize is a good conversationist. Do you suppose it looks good in an apron?

I had Butler as a professor at McNeese State U in the early '90s when he won the pulitzer. He was very introverted and did not seem to care too much about the students or what he was doing as a teacher.
