Katie Couric interviewed the couple in Utah whose daughter was kidnapped. I felt so terrible for them. They looked horrible; the mother could barely even speak. Why does shit like this happen?

What confuses me is how they didn't realize R. Kelly was a sexual predator. Shouldn't it have set off some red flags when he married Aaliyah when she was, like, fifteen? And he's settled out of court how many times?
I was too young to understand the Rob Lowe scandal, but can someone tell me how it was different from this (or not)? My impression is he was much closer in age to the girl in that case, but I want clarification.

Is it in Tom Brokaw's contract that NBC must refer to "the Greatest Generation" every five minutes?
Whatever. I love him anyway. I grew up with him. I totally understood what my mom meant when she said recently, "On September 11 I knew I'd feel like it was going to be okay if I could just see Tom Brokaw."
