    I was joking. I do however wonder why anybody really cares about this woman or her twisted family affairs.

I felt for her Matt to an extent...yeah much of what happened is her own doing but still there must have been a heck of a lot of pain in her life too. I learned one thing from Abnormal Psych class...we're all potentially just a small misfire away from being on the couch...so to speak.
  • Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see.But it comes from SKY NEWS, the same web site that reported: “William Wallace is seven feet tall! …Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his ***.”

    Indeed. I defy anyone to name a single track athlete who trained that much at that age and later went on to have any real career as an adult. The wear and tear of running is different than it is in swimming plus one peaks later in track than in swimming. That poor kid has 20 years before she hits her prime and she will never make it. If you can get a bet on her making it at the top level later on, take it at any odds. The parents are delusional. -LBJ

    This is a cold-war style propaganda piece. It baffles me that some of you actually believe it to be 100% true (but it is posted on the internet). When you have a predisposition to believe certain things, you are easily fooled. This article is a racist farce.

As for US news stations take your pick....the top story will be about what celeb is doing what and about 20 minutes in we'll get a death toll for Iraq...that or they'll ignore Phelp's swimming and talk about a father/daughter tug-o-war over a towel and call it a beating! The Beeb is the only reliable news. ;)
