I feel sorry for both of them. It's her parents however rthat I wonder about.

Several years ago I had a friend from Hong Kong whose parents called him and toold him to come to Hong Kong., they'd found him a wife. He went there, married her and they had twin boys. When the wife came home from the hospital she acted very distant. For the next 6 weeks she spent most of the time curled up in a corner. The guy hired a woman to help him with the boys. After several weeks of this the guy put his wife on a plane back to Hong Kong and filed for divorce. It turned out that the woman had a long psych history that his parents didn't know about. That's the problem sometimes with arranged marriages. Doesn't happen very often but it does happen and it's very unfortunate.

Maybe a blow up doll would suit him better. I love the way the article talked about "his" feelings as opposed to "hers". She was very intelligent--a doctor--had a good personality. There is always electrolysis and eye surgery.

I suppose but guess the wedding pics would be burned.

Seems as if this supports the old thing about "not judging books by their cover".

Hmmm, where have I read this story before...thinking...thinking...oh yeah! The Bible! The beautiful Rebekah and her ugly sister Leah!

Geez people, come up with some original material!

Well, that was supposed to be Rachel, not Rebekah, but the site won't let me edit my post. Just wanted to correct that before I get jumped for it.

For a marriage to work you have to have some sexual attraction. Hate to be superficial but a beard and crossed eyes? I guess it would work if it was somebody elses wife. I do agree sad for both but good he divorced instead of misabusing her which does happen in certain societies.

I think my new resolution is to only print jokes on the forum. Here is the best from yesterday, courtesy FoxNews.

"As senators, Barack Obama and Joe Biden both opposed the troop surge in Iraq -- and Biden even wanted to divide the country into three sections.

But as vice president, Biden is taking credit for success in Iraq.

"I am very optimistic about Iraq," he said. "I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration."

But Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said you cannot oppose the surge and then claim it for your legacy.

"When Joe Biden was in the Senate and Obama was in the Senate, they authored and were the chief architect of the resolution opposing the surge," he said.

The vice president also took credit for the troop drawdown.

"You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer," he said. "You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government."

But the drawdown was negotiated in the Status of Forces Agreement before the Obama administration took office.

"The reduction in U.S. forces that is under way right now is in fact important and it's largely the continuation of the policy that President Bush had set in place when he negotiated the drawdown schedule with Prime Minister Maliki at the end of 2008," Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution told Fox News.

In fact, the agreement called for having U.S. troops out of Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. combat troops out by the end of 2011.

"The timetable for withdrawing those troops had been worked on for a long time, way preceding this administration coming into power, and that timetable really centered on success in Iraq," said Col. Bill Cowan, a Fox News contributor. "That success starting really after the surge that was implemented by the previous administration."

At the White House, the day after the vice president's remarks, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked how the administration could take credit for Iraq.

"Well, putting what was broken back together and getting our troops home, which we intend to do in August of this year," he said, adding that Obama helped provide critical "political pressure" on Iraq policy before taking office."

BBBBWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA AAAAA

Very Funny. Quite a legacy. Funny how all politicians think people only look at their last news conference.

Apple does it again:

Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size.. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Rather non- PC but very funny.

I gut laughed over that one.

Just heard that the Obama Administration will be honoring the 43rd President of the United States by naming the gap between the tectonic plates beneath Haiti after him.The area will now officially be referred to as "Bush's Fault".
