****Warning: This might be a tad bit offensive to some...****
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Now let me say this. There are very, very few people that if I ever met them in real life...I would be tempted to open-hand slap them across the face. (Not hard, but just like a prissy, girl fight kind of slap.)
This woman is one of them.
If you listen to talk radio at all then you know who she is. At first, every now and then I would turn her show on and listen to a caller or two. But the more that I began to actually listen to this lady the more my extreme my distaste grew for her. It honestly makes me wanna reach through the radio and have my hand pop out of her microphone as she is making some poor, divorced 39 year-old mother of 3 feel like a moron for being lonely and pinch her lips shut as tight as I possibly can.
What spurred this post today was that I was in the car this afternoon and decided to give her one more shot. Let me say that the fact that this woman spent 10 minutes insulting and mocking a 19 year old girl who said she had a eating disorder but was 5'3" and weighed 160 lbs bothered me. However then Dr. Laura actually said something similar to this to the girl caller:
"Well, if you are 5'3" and weigh 160 lbs...I think it's safe to say that you are not very good at having an eating disorder. Why don't you just hang up the phone and go eat a muffin because you are boring me."
This next statement floored me.
"No wonder you choose to eat yourself into a stupor, because people like you are boring."
Are You Freakin Kidding Me?
Not very often do people make me as angry as she does, but one thing I cannot stand is when someone is given the gift of a platform to speak life into hurting people and instead they use their power to do the opposite. I am all for telling people the truth, which can sometimes be painful. I mean geez, I LOVE me some Dr. Phil folks! But this is ridiculous.
In closing, I don't want anyone to think I just want to go around slapping people all of the time. But I would say that if I ever bumped into Dr. Laura in person and she caught me at the right moment in time...and my husband didn't work for God...Jesus better make my hands fall off.
Vent session complete.

your most recent posts have confirmed my wonderings ... we might be really good friends. :)
Oh sister. I would have to have a "come to Jesus" with her and my fist. That's right. No open handed, prissy slap. A PUNCH, baby.
Meet you in the alley. Wear your ski mask.
