Dear kittenpants:
Are you familiar with the 3 pronged "Axis of Evil" that our fearless president has been warning us of in the last several months? I sure am and frankly, I'm terrified. Each night, as I carefully study the nightly news, I feel like Iran, Iraq and South Korea just keep inching their ("dirty") way closer to me and my family. Now, with the Olymplics over I cannot deny any longer that I truly am in serious jeapordy and something deep in me is calling for action. But what can I do? I have so much hatred in my heart for the "Evil Ones" and I know that's good, but how can I use all of my hatred, I guess is my question. God, I need you Kitten Pants. I feel like if I hear another frustrating report about the "Evil Ones" I'll resort to spousal abuse again, a pattern that I know is wrong but I also know that I can't avoid. Please help me.

Dear Kirby:
What I want to know is, when are they gonna put France on that list?

Kirby, there are a lot of bad places--not just Iran, Iraq, and Oklahoma--lots of places. That doesn't mean you should hit your spouse. It means you should stop watching the news. Isn't there something better on?

I deal with the president and his speeches by tuning him completely out. That might be hard for you at first, but I think with a little help from your friends Drugs and Alcohol, you can just "pretend" him away until you have no more worries.
