I denounce and reject this comment.  Surely gay men care about this stuff too (I'm just kidding.)  But there may be a reason that women have been the ones to traditionally care for the dead, while men go around clubbing animals and pulling women into caves by their hair.

What we see in the mainstream press these days is the dumbing down of news to match the intelligence of the stupidest members of the population.  That's what we get fed by the current administration too, as if we were all children incapable of having an informed opinion on how our country should be run.  Rush is as much a problem in this regard as anyone.

That's Mother Teresa, right? I had no idea she was partying with Diana that night.

Tell me more!

It kinda turned out that Teresa wasn't quite the saint that the Vatican was pushing, so there was a little bit of "You don't REALLY need to print that, do you?" going on.  It's not a surprise under the circumstances that her publicity was kept to a minimum.

Boy...that...kinda ruins the joke aspect of my last post, doesn't it...

How is that a "girl thing"?  I would say it's a media thing. I don't watch TV and didn't then either, so I saw little of the Diana stuff.  But I suggest watching The Queen if you want to understand the Diana extravaganza in more depth.  It's not just about women.  Also, my dad actually died the same week, so that is what I remember.
