I wish, I wish with all my heart that J.Lo didn't name her babies Max and Emme in a land apart



I imagine the pressure is high if you are a celebrity and you are naming a child. The world will scrutinize, criticize, either love it or hate it. That is why, if you are a celebrity, every care should be taken to ensure that you are not naming your children after the Hispanic brother and sister duo on a popular PBSkids show.

That is sooooo funny. I can't believe I didn't catch that. Milo goes around saying that phrase all day. At least she didn't name them Zack and Wheezy.

She did NOT.

Oh, well. I think maybe I should just be happy that they are normal names, not, you know, Audio Science or anything.

Oh that's bad. Did she do it knowingly, or obliviously?

I've been waiting to hear what she was going to name them - that's a hilarious observation and those kids are gonna be freaked when they watch Dragon Tales, wondering when the dragons are gonna show up.

The spelling in not the same at all and once you change a letter the name becomes new and original.

Hey Emily,

that's funny, maybe PBS paid her big bucks to do it, she's all about capitalizing on a good money making opportunity!

Is J.Lo known for thinking through her major life decisions?

Despite their PBS fame, at least they are cute names!

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t
