"It is important to note that I have a very fine job."

"The wife in question is of a Southern lineage, and has also been a member of the Junior League and chaired the annual Rose Bowl."

"It is an inaccurate and misleading image to claim that I have had affairs with "scores" of hunky men.

"I enjoy running at least five times a week, with two full-body gym workouts."

"Sarah welcomes and affirms any spouse who desires to have a wholesome, inclusive relationship."

"The wife believes in The Sacred Bonds of Marriage, children, family values, covenantal partnering, commitment, unity, faithfulness, love, joy, peace, dialogue, telling one's story, Holy Scripture, and many other fine concepts."

"Those who have remained in this Loving Marriage -- particularly those children for which the wife is Giving Voice -- are deeply hurt. I personally guarantee that even the grown-up children about whom it is rumored may have other ideas about how I have conducted this Faithful, Wholesome Marriage, are Deeply Hurt by the actions of the husband."

"It is important to note that Sarah's spouse has never in fact made more than $65,000 in salary in any particular year of this marriage."

Who is this…VGR?
I do not believe in California that any of these are valid points for child custody.

...and then the judge yawns, stretches and says “So what? Irrelevant…”.

Oh wait…I believe here in California many of the judges really wish that they had affairs with scores of
“Hunky Men”.

Well, you must admit it follows the same logic as the Tec Talking Points.

Was she “caught with a score of hunky men” or was she scoring with hunky men?

Er, does it matter?

“Well, you must admit it follows the same logic as the Tec Talking Points.”
I take it Jackie that you are using the definition of the word “logic” from the revisionist dictionary, as I can find no definition of the word in the OED that can be applied to the TEC talking points.

Why wasn’t this labelled as a palette refresher? It’s delightful.

So… women of fine southern heritage who belong to the Junior League AND preside over the local rose festival are immediately absolved from any wrong doing or behavior? WOW! I was married to such a woman for 20+ years and didn’t know these facts.

The Junior League remark brought back memories of “A Southern Belle Primer, Or why Princess Margaret Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma.”

I bought that book after getting married, and I placed it on a prominent bookshelf. It has kept the Junior Leaguers away better than any other product I have tested.

Sarah is straining bonds of affection.
