If she wants her kids to have all the great benefits she had, why is she raising them in England?

And if she is in England because she can't provide her kids the same great opportunities she had in the US, why is she bothering to vote, or remain a US citizen?

Our greatest risk is marklar marklar marklar. What a dolt!

Oh, go back to your British husband and your British home, you tiresome attention-whore!

There, I definitely feel better now...

Well, of course it's a risk!

If BusHitler wins, then Madonna faces the prospect of being arrested, dragged from her home, and gassed in one of Ashcroft's planned concentration camps for liberals.

Her children will be handed over to Christian fundamentalists for proper upbringing.

Her assets will be seized and given to anti-abortion groups, who will be given a license to bomb clinics and kill liberals on sight.

I mean, she's running the same risks as Sakharov and Fang Lizhi did. (Well, not Sakharov, not really, since he lived in a USSR where they loved their children, too, after all.)

How dare you make fun of this potential martyr for peace?!??

'I want my children to grow up with the same opportunities that I had'

If I were the kids old man I'd immediately engage a PI and dispel those nasty rumours of a very young Madonna sleeping her way to fame.

I was sorta on the fence, what with thousands of Islamofascists wanting me dead and all, but if he's good enough for Madonna, who am I to argue? Clark in '04!!!

Pseudo Lesbian, pseudo talented, pseud.

I actually think our greatest risk is the possibility that people might take endorsements from the likes of Madonna seriously.

Madonna is right. A lack of consciousness is truly the greatest risk we face. Some days I can hardly walk down the street without tripping over all the unconcious people. Why, after a day of listening to Democratic presidental candidates I'm often struggling to remain conscious, myself.

Under President General Wesley Clark, trained professionals will provide wake-up calls and emergency water-face-splashing assistance for anyone who lacks consciousness. Will warmonger Bush do the same? I think not!

Isn't this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

"And the whore of Babylon shall lay blessings on the General. On hearing the blessings the children did rejoice."

So it is written and so it shall be.

Well, senior citizens in the United States tend to trend Democratic due to fears over the fate of Medicare, so Madonna's action is certainly understandable. I just think it was nice she could work herself away from the Mah Jongg games and the Grand Slam breakfasts at Denny's to make such an announcement

Is she going to sing "Like a Virgin" with Wes and give him a big kiss like lil Britney.

Love to see Wes in that bridal outfit britney and Christina wore.

How dare you speak about our nation's esteemed Strumpet Laureate that way!

Greatest risk is `unconsciousness'.Well, yes, scientists haven't yet coome up with the anti-date to death.Well, at leat Madonna has illuminated what graveyards are for : so the `unconscious' don't litter the streets in their indolent, somnolent habits.

I bet once the kids are old enough they'll take a good look at their mum's life work and become conservatives. If for no other reason than to lessen the shame.

It seems strange to me that Madonna brought up her children. Of course they are going to have more chances than she had when growing up: they are the offspring of rich parents!! What a lot of toss these "celebrities" do sprout.

What's with the scare quotes on "celebrities"? If a celebrity is someone who's famous for being famous, which strikes me as a reasonable definition of same, "Madonna" surely qualifies.

Poor kids. To escape your screeching mother, you switch on the radio to hear her screeching there as well. Click. Oh no, she's on TV too.

"And the whore of Babylon shall lay blessings on the General. On hearing the blessings the children did rejoice."

So it is written and so it shall be.

Have you got chapter and verse for that?

Those of us who were paying attention in Sunday School know that the phrase "Whore of Babylon" occurs only in the Book of Revelation, and also that the words "blessings" and "general" are NOT in Revelation.

I do believe that was a joke from LB.

Why would Mrs. Ritchie think "a complete lack of consciousness" is a bad thing? Her "music" doesn't sound like garbage and her "acting" doesn't make you sick only when you're well on your way to "a complete lack of consciousness."

Thank God. I can sleep at night now knowing who that idiot endorses.

What does a has-been hag living in Britain give a rat's ass anyway? Maybe we'll soon hear Frenchie lover Johnny Depp announce who he endorses.

I believe she is 41, so she didn't grow up under Eisenhower and just barely under Kennedy.

That explains it. Madonna is unconscious.

Hey Matt G and May Lee - Actually, personally I think the better analogy would be the beasts that come from the sea in the Book of Daniel. I have endless fun seeing what politician and where fits each beast. Believe me, after listening to a Phillip Adams program it's hard not to see Dubya as the beast with the teeth and iron hooves AND LAUGH WITH HYSTERICAL DELIGHT

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Sorry, forgot myself there.

Oh, and great to see a poster from Honkers on the blog May Lee, good to have you along.
