Maybe I am feeling cranky and overworked today, as I'm sure many of  you are. But let me share something with all of you that struck me as I began my evening stare session with Anderson Copper 360. As you may have realized by now, I often sit down with a glass of relatively inexpensive red wine at the end of the night to watch the CNN super- star, telling myself that I'm doing myself a favor by allowing small amounts of world news to trickle past the wine buzz into my exhausted brain. Deep down, I know that the bigger reason I watch is that HE'S DARN ATTRACTIVE. Oh come on ladies, admit it; there's something about
 those blue eyes, that slight frame in a suit, his expert command of the information . . .ANYWAY, there I was feeling plum tuckered out after a day of working my butt of for a salary that has me within the 200th percentile of the poverty level, feeling fairly sorry for myself and generally pissed at my entire situation, when one story caused me to instantly snap out of my self pity. Unless you have been hibernating with a clan of Kodiak Bears for the last week or so, you have probably heard of the Kim family, who were stranded in the wilderness of Oregon for nine days. The father, James Kim, is still missing after having left his wife and two young daughters with the snow-bound family car, in order to search for help. Kati Kim reportedly kept her children alive by breast feeding both of them, an infant and a four year old. They burned the car tires in an effort to make signal fires, and Kati eventually succeeded in flagging down rescue helicopters by using an umbrella. The reason for my recap is this; whatever the challenge you may be experiencing, GET OVER IT!!!! I can't tell you how tired I am of reading comments like this on our message boards;
 "I can't choose what law school to go to", or  "Which law firm should I work at, the one that pays first-year associates 200 grand per year, or the one that pays 100 grand per year and has 100 % bonuses?", or "I'm sleeping with one of the senior partners. If I stop, will my career suffer?"
There are people with real problems, and chances are that you are not one of them. So stop sniveling and just deal with your issues, rather than hemming and hawing, and wasting the time of the people that have to listen to your idiotic tragic monologue.

Wow, I feel better. p.s. please continue to post your excellent and important comments on out extremely grateful website:)

I know, and I'm trying to get it fixed as soon as possible...thanks for the heads up.

Does anybody else notice that the judged blogs are suddenly more interesting?
Smarmie also, perhaps, but I'm glad to see some kind of punchy attitude.
Maybe the Judge is trying to liven the site back up?
