Just Hopping Through-Why Gay Men Shouldn't Adopt

Oh, right. My mistake.

I'm sure it would be much better for children to grow up in orphanages instead of with people who go out of their way to adopt children. (I imagine adopting as a gay couple -- especially a male gay couple -- is not the most burden-free process.) I guess those guys went through all that trouble just so they could take them to the Caribbean and neglect them. Bad, Bad Gay Guys!!!

If the kids were playing with the rest of the wedding party earlier, sunny couldn't have been the only one to ask about them at the evening event. Half that wedding party was probably keeping an eye out for regular checks on the kids. And there were probably at least four other busybodies ready to pounce if it looked like too much time had elapsed between checking in on the twins.

The question is whether sunny would have cared as much if it were a straight couple.

"Sportsmanship is not just an empty term, though obviously many invoke this term in empty ways. Sportsmanship has both to do with how you honor your opponent and how you manage your own inner fears. Teams that seek to humiliate opponents by running up the score lose the ability to respect their opponents -- and pay dearly when they line up against an equal. Teams that run up the score gain experience laughing at the other sideline, but learn nothing about calling on character under duress. At the deepest level, sportsmanship is about finding out who you, yourself, really are. What you want to find out about yourself is that you respect others and possess character. Teams that run up the score, disdaining sportsmanship, neither respect others nor build their own character."

As opposed to the party of - er - Lou Gramm - who was not only ugly as sin, but was oh so "Hot blooded, check it and see"

I take it you have video cameras and crash helmets on your kids at all times?

Truth is, Sunny just wanted an excuse to tell us she was at the Ritz on St. Thomas.

The Four Seasons on Nevis is much, much nicer.

Coincidentally, I was just singing this song this morning. The line I couldn't banish from my brain was "come on baby, do you do more than dance."

But really, please, stop with the uggs.
