Untax and spend yet again......

There's talk about the Government giving every taxpaying American a check for $800 in order to stimulate the economy. My reckoning is that in most cases, the money will be used to pay off debt -- credit cards, home equity loans, etc. -- instead of making new purchases.

On an unrelated note, I don't think Dr. Phil should have blabbed about Britney's condition. Just because one is a celebrity doesn't mean they lose their right to privacy.

The latest is that she claims to have Multiple Personality Disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder) but when Dr. Phil got into the picture and into her hospital room without her consent she was leaving after a 5150 which came about when she locked herself in the bathroom with one her kids and wouldn't come out. The cops talked to her for 3 hours and then had her sent to the hospital. Back then (last week?) it was speculated that she is bipolar or possibly mainly manic.

I feel terrible for her children. This isn't something that they'll never hear about as they grow up. I am glad that the judge removed her visitation for the time being...maybe she'll care enough when she crashes to get help.

What amazes me, too, is that she is hanging around with a Paparazzo and he seems to be enabling all of her bizarre excursions and escorting her through all of her whims. Sound like Howard Stern enough for ya? Wait, didn't a photographer father Anna Nicole's baby?

It's tragic that she's sick, but as an adult and mom I believe she has an obligation to do everything she can to be the most stable she can get for their sake as well as hers.

ARe you sorry I asked? Isn't it pathetic that I know?

I'm not sorry I asked, I was keeping up with it until this past week. I'm glad you followed the story cuz someone had to, LOL! Honestly, it's a relief this is coming out, at least there's an explanation behind her insane behavior. If the little girls who idolize her see that she IS sick and not just acting out they will have a better understanding that her behavior really ISN'T appropriate for a celebrity.

The kids - once they are old enough to understand what's going on - will roll with it. Kids are resilient little creatures and by that time they will be stabilized with or without her.

I do blame the "yes" people (aka enablers) that surround her as well as her family for not doing an intervention before this got so out of hand. This woman is spinning out of control and there is no one who seems to be willing to put on the breaks. It's a good thing the judge is at least level headed enough to see this.

Thanks for updating me.

As for Dr. Phil, he needs to get kicked the heck off the air and out of the headlines. He's plauged the medical profession long enough with his quasi-advise.
