Mark Consuelos? Because Kelly is "an older woman"?

Hello?! She's a whole 6 months older than he is -- BFD!!!

Personally, I always thought they were the exception to the "Real Life Couples Don't Have Screen Chemistry" rule of acting.

Unlike John Callahan & Eva LaRue, who were always just plain icky.

Our female rabbit, Izzy, shows dominance over our male rabbit, FooFoo, by mounting him.

Yet if a guy marries a woman who is six months younger it doesn't even matter.

Or six years. Or decades. Or whatever.

A man publically adores his wife and is not afraid to let the whole world know it - you wanna call that whipped - fine - let's have many, many more men on that list.

If given a choice, I think I would rather be pussy whipped than obsessed with other peoples' relationships.

A man publically adores his wife and is not afraid to let the whole world know it -
But, God forfend, a woman wear a tshirt that says "Keep Up!" to show her adoration. There must be two sets of rules.

"Keep Up" was not about expressing adoration for Keep Up Boy. It was about express displeasure for another man.

Same set of rules.

Of course it was. Two sets of rules.

Say more about that. What do you see that I don't?

She said it was "a message to all you turtles out there." How can that be expressing adoration for Keep Up Boy when she said it was directed at the turtles?

Say more about that.
You're not the boss of me....

Rory Sabbatini was the object of much public scorn from announcers and his fellow golfers. According to Tim Rosaforte, one of the Golf Channel's "experts", many of his fellow pros supported his stand against slow play--secretly. How gutless. This carries over to other professions and that is how we end up with clueless lawyers, teachers, doctors, and Indian chiefs. Their peers just look the other way. Ms. Sabbatini chose to stand by her man plus her tshirt spoke what many were thinking but were too lacking in intestinal fortitude to say.

You don't see it that way. I do. Ask professional golfers what their two biggest gripes are and you will hear: Pro-ams and slow play. Pretty much in that order.

Do not bite me...I bruise easily.

I am not gonna bite you, nor am I gonna tell you to bite me.

There are distinctions I see that you don't. That is what I thought was true and your further explaination showed that.

I said she wasn't publically adoring her man - she wasn't - she was standing up for him, supporting his actions and not backing down. I have those things distinct from adoring him.

I can and do stand up for people, support what they are doing and don't back down and there is no way I would say I adore them.

Then, there are people I adore who do something that I will not stand up for or support for doing it.

I still think he went about displaying his displeasure in the totally wrong way. I think it was unprofessional and hot-headish.

I think it was unprofessional and hot-headish.
It was only considered "unprofessional", by some, because his peers allow slow play. I thought it was a great move and focused some attention on a real problem in golf--not just professional golf. When most were piling on Mr. Sabbatini, Ms. Sabbatini would have none of it. I thought then and now that her support for her husband was admirable and quite brave.
