brooke shields is an honorary "philosophical mother"

Brooke Shields is now an honorary Philosophical Mother, because:

1) She wrote a book, Down Came the Rain, and exposed her own post-partum depression in order to help others and bring this illness out into the open.

2) She is a beautiful, articulate working mother who isn't afraid to tell it like it is.  She never ever says that motherhood is easy.

3) And because she told Tom Cruise (a man who supposedly lacks woman parts or the ability to give birth or deal with post-partum depression) that he should stick to fighting aliens, when he made the most assinine, and dangerously misguided  statement in the world about her use of anti-depressants to fight her depression.

The June Issue of The Philosophical Mother is here.  And whether Tom Cruise likes it or not, he's now on our Philosophical Shit List.  Welcome to the Mommy War of the World, Tommy Boy.

I haven't liked him for a long time, even before this incident. But last week, when he was on Oprah, I would have rather dragged my nails down chalkboards than watch.

I was wondering when you were going to comment on King Cruise's idiocy. I don't think I can ever watch any of his movies again...Why do these movie stars think they Know all. Oh, fame makes one an expert on all matters, I guess.

LOL @ #3 ;)
