End-of-Week News: A Mom’s Dirty Secrets; Angelina-Gaga Affair; Stage Mothers
A mother of three confesses her “dirty secrets.” And, NO, that is not the beginning of a Penthouse Forum Letter. Geesh. (Trust me, I checked.) [lilSugar]

Babble asks readers to vote for their favorite underappreciated Mommy Blogger. The Laughing Stork happens to be on there (currently #7); however, I don’t want to unduly influence you, so I’ll just note that if you DO vote for me, a bag containing one million dollars will land on your doorstep.

I was going to vote for you, but Babble has some sort of redirection thing set up so that the moment they figure out I’m in Australia (by my IP address), I get redirected to the .au version of the site, where there is not, as far as I can tell, anything to do with rating bloggers.
That actually kind of annoys me. Why am I not allowed to go to the U.S. site? Is there some super-magic Americans-only stuff there or something? Seriously, what the heck?
Anyway, I hope you get lots of votes. I won’t be visiting Babble any time again in the near future, however.

What the heck, indeed.
Thanks for trying, Bonni! I appreciate it.
