I frequent Fox News, and ran across this article.

Hank Baskett Helping Kendra Wilkinson Find God

If Kendra truly is happy, the good for her. But when I read a statement like this ["Hank makes her pray before meals now. His family is so religious and he really calmed her down a lot, he's good for her," Kendra’s bridesmaid and playmate Brittany Ginger told Tarts, with Kendra adding that praying is a new experience that has helped her change "for the better".], it makes me cringe a little.

Something tells me she's a square peg in a world of circles here. I can't see that one would be so quick to embrace religion with someone's "assistance". Being a life-altering decision, one way or the other, I wouldn't presume it's such an easy venture.

Bill,

You are a master of putting the point in the fewest words. I couldn't agree more.

Guys:

Yes clear as a bell Bill.

My guess is she is a misguided submissive.

By the way is anybody paying attention to Thailand?

What do you hear in China Bill?

We're getting the typical feeds you get in North America, probably. It sounds as if they are on the knife-edge where countries teeter when things get very bad, oscillating between authoritarianism and utter chaos, afraid of either outcome.
