I do so love that it’s absurd to state one’s opinion regarding these women, but talking about a child’s enema or other extremely personal information about a minor child, a person who is NOT the writer-that’s perfectly ok.

Don’t get me wrong-I’ve likely shared some questionable things in the past-but I think it’s ok to critisize that, and to analyze it.

For the money those women make, they can handle it. If they couldn’t, their lives wouldn’t be so public.

Stumbled on to you via a referrer-popping you in my reader.

Malven,
This is your second comment, you took the time to leave it and, you actully did tell me what you think. You will be back, at least to see what I said to you.
P.S. I don’t care about those awards, I didn’t nominate myself, nor would I accept the award if I won.

The difference between chickenliver and Ree is this: Ree’s life isn’t about hating other people and spreading that hate around. Whether or not your vitriolic comments about her are true – and, in analysis, though your facts may be straight, your interpretations are wildly biased and skewed toward seeing people in a poor light – telling “the truth” doesn’t have virtue in and of itself, particularly since truth has long been philosophically appreciated as a subjective thing in human understanding.

Similarly, trying to make money doesn’t make you evil, and not trying to doesn’t make you good. If people want to read Ree’s writing, and in the process that makes her some cash, as long as she didn’t steal it from their wallets, it would legitimately be called a fair trade – though perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve bought a book from a bookstore? And it’s clear that Ree hardly needs the extra money anyways – so what point are you making?

In a correlative vein, one could easily argue that chickenliver is similarly profiting off her blog posts: she clearly derives pleasure from the praise of like-minded “truth”-loving – or should I say, hate-mongering – fans. It’s sad, though, when the core of a person’s writing is the pedantic criticism of more interesting and well thought-out writers.

This blog is absurd. There’s enough hate in the world without someone like chickenliver adding to it lacking even a superficial desire to do good in the world. I’m sad I stumbled upon it, glad that Ree and Heather have been recognized this year in the Webbies and Bloggies, and that chickenliver hasn’t.

Were I more like you, I’d tell you how little I think of you as a human being and expound on it without merit. Happily, I have better things to do with my time, in addition to never coming back to such poisonous webspace.

chicken liver rocks — saw right thru ree, etc. day one — martha stewart on the prairie — good marketing and some fun stuff — but come on folks — i’ve been drivin’ the country roads of oklahoma for years — i see the oil, gas and western heritage for what it is — folks — it ain’t romantic — and ain’t no way most people livin’ that kind of life live like ree — her life is all propped up with her hubbie’s money — and probably some of her own

ain’t nothing wrong with it – it just ain’t nothin money and time won’t buy — she was in the right place, at the right time, with the right idea and the right amount of time and money and privilege — the drummond family is rich, rich, rich, good old boys and betcha by golly wow ree smelled that money right off seein’ how she comes from it too bein’ the daughter of a surgeon and all and growin’ up in tulsa on a golf course no less. can you say country clubber — whooeee doggies?

so chicken liver — thanks for bringing some reality to the PW spin

I don’t know, Pumpkins Mom. I think Dooce put up some shots of her yet unborn daughter’s genitals. Rush over there and leave her a compliment! Because THE HONESTY OF THIS BLOG, IT BURNS. OW!!!

All I say when somebody relatively young and naive to the blog world somehow scores a chance to eat or drink with the ’strongs..all I say is, Remember 6th grade? Today they have media classes? Think of a boy Leta has a crush on, who prints out the story of her 2nd birthday present of an enema, and reads it to the class while they laugh and laugh. Soon they’ll find that Jon likes to grope Ms. Armstrong’s boobies, that they have lots of the sexay sex, that they drink a lot, that mommy served time in a mental institution AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU LETA.

Then they’ll be able to read “It Sucked And I Cried: How a had a baby, a breakdown, and much needed Margarita” about Leta’s birth. So will Leta. I’m sure it’ll make her feel all warm and happy inside.

I just hope that Leta doesn’t run away or string out on drugs or kill herself. I really worry about that.

This blog has made my week. Thank you for this; I’d rather read REAL blogs or at least be amused than that fake shit. I’m glad they feel okay with exploiting their families and their insane narcissism all over the web, but I’m even happier there are more people who feel the same way I do.
Team Chickenliver!
