Helen Reddy

(S01E05) What does Nadia Comenici, civil liberties, Harry Reems and bowling have in common? They were all woven into this very topical episode of Swingtown, one of the best of this summer series thus far.

The undercurrent of swinging and sex was still there, but the theme of the show was more about choice and control, who makes them and and who has it.

The Millers aren't in synch. In fact, Susan is the first to say it out loud, turning to Trina for guidance. I really like how the women on this show are becoming more real with each episode and less types. Trina is so much more than the wanton from the pilot.

Last year I pointed all of you to Rosie O'Donnell's blog,  where she practices a crazed sort of stream-of-conciousness poetry, writing about her kids, politics, celebrity, and everything in between. She's still doing it, and now she seems to be writing more than ever. Her site has grown a lot in the past 6 months. And while I commend her activism and giving money to charity, I can't let this go by (lack of caps is hers, not mine):

Whoa, man. And she ends this poem with the phrase "deal or no deal."
