AuntieAnn, I have to say the whole Globe thing really fit in perfectly with that map! I love the part where he talks about the equator being peeled off and seems to demonstrate the action with his finger. LOL.
Once, when I was still married to her father, my daughter peeled off some wallpaper next to her door. It was already loose, she touched it AS ANY PERSON WOULD.
He got in her 1.5 year old little face and yelled at her as if she killed a puppy or ran into traffic.
I'm very easy-going and don't get mad easily but if she spills something or does something wrong she's still afraid I'll react like HE would react and she hasn't lived with him in over 8 years.
EM, I've been following your comments and want to wish you luck and good things for the future. I've taken a cut in pay too and survive paycheck-to-paycheck. Sometimes we, as mothers, need to put on a "Happy Face" when times our tough to help our kids feel confident that the bad times will pass.
Oh my hilarious goodness. Administrator, you have taken creativity to a new high! It is 4:00AM here -- laughing loud enough to wake hubby.
(I don't know what the actual German words are. I don't want anyone to think we are insensitive to the Hitler/Jewish situation. )
Hitler delivering Kate's dialogue -- captioned with brilliance! Choked on my coffee when he asks paps, haters...and anyone named Aunt Jodi to leave the room.
There should be a special category award for this clip!
Oh my what a way to start my day! I laughed so hard I could hardly read the words through the tears. Actually have to go back and relook - my eyes were squinting so hard from laughing I didn't even catch all the dialogue!
That was HILARIOUS! Thanks for the grin this morning. You did a great job with this parody.
On a serious note, the movie this clip came from is Eye-Opening. It's called Downfall and is seriously disturbing in its accurate portrayal of the last few days of Hitler and how his minions followed him to their death (I won't even go into the scenes with the mom and her children - still makes me so sad). You can stream the movie on Netflix, but give yourself 3 hours and a full attention span as it's all in sub-titles.
Admin, I hope you can hear the chuckles from the other coast! That is an instant classic that made me belly laugh with my morning coffee. Wait for it..... its a GLOBAL CRISIS!!!!!; GOSSELIN STYLE. Thank you.
That was disgustingly brilliant!All I could see in my head were the 8 gosselins lined up in a row, with Kate delivering this drivel and smacking the big, red spoon for emphasis. OMG.
Bet you feel so much better now, don't ya? I always thought Khate would make Hitler a great wife .Thanks for the great wake -up this morning.Saluting, clicking heels together and marching out of the room now.(snark.)
I am SO happy I didn't hit my computer when I woke up at 4AM like I usually do. My neighbors would NOT have appreciated the hysterical laughter at that hour. It is sad and creepy to realize that she is every bit as sick as this portrays her AND she is that way by CHOICE!
Another coming out of lurkdom to say -- that is absolutely brilliant Admin!
As for Kate teaching her children to respect other people's property, I hardly think she teaches by example. She donated the ornaments the twins had been given by their grandfather without asking them, threw the tups' toys downstairs, and "cleaned" the twins' room by throwing all their belongings downstairs an her return from a book tour. Hardly respectful.
Off topic to Berks Neighbor: Downfall is a disturbing film, and quite controversial in that it appears to humanize the inhuman in its portrayal of Hitler and his inner circle. The adults were all cognisant of and actively engaged in perpetrating the crimes of the Nazi regime. You might find Irmgard Hunt's book interesting -- On Hitler's Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood. It is a very thoughtful book told from the perspective of a child.
The 'bunker' quote and "That shit ain't happening' had me laughing my head off. Concerning your video, to borrow a word from one of my girls, it is "GREATNESS"
hilariously funny! Admin, my hat is off to you today...you are one smart and clever cookie.
Jill P said... 26 (sorry Admin, I'm going off topic for a moment) Thanks for the book suggestion. I'm fascinated with WWII and all the aspects of that era: culture, politics and more. I can't get my head around how so many would follow Hitler and do such heinous crimes. Another good movie is Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. She and her brother and their friends worked to provide truth about the Hitler regime. They were tried, convicted and executed in 3 days of their crime of treason. Okay....enough off topic.
BTW: Admin, I think you should give Kate some title credit. For coming up with most of the tripe she spews that was portrayed in the parody. Heck she could use it to pad her CV. ;-) *snark*
Brilliant!! Very creative! I just hope that someone who knows Jon, or who has contacts with Jon's friends, makes sure he reads Kate's blog post and sees this parody. He NEEDS to do something soon to get those kids away from her. I've said it before, but I've seen poisonous snakes with more maternal instinct than she has.
What a great way to begin a Friday! When you get tired of your current mediocre job, perhaps you should think about becoming a television writer. Brilliant!
She's been with those kids toooo damn long...she probably was ready to jump out of a window at this point. I have every confidence that she's on her way to some where. She kept saying she needed a vacation...from what...God only knows. Poor thing...withdrawal from vacationing is a brutal thing to go through...I feel her pain...Ha!
Admin, this is so funny! It is a shame Ms Kreider will never see it, since she would never read anything at this site. (who is that behind those big 3d glasses over there, wearing a pile of feathers? hi, Ms Kreider!)
OMG what a riot!!!! "McBunker"!!!!! thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!
I only have one small complaint: Hitler's eyes dont bug out of his scull nearly enough to play the realest reality Katie Irene. After all, she proudly displayed her tantrum eye buldging talents week after week after week... BUT what Hitler lacked in the tantrum department is compensated by Katie's botched self-botoxing, so it all comes out even.
If Kate sees this clip (and I really hope she does), she won't understand. She will immediately default to the haters-are-mean-to-me response. She will be convinced that Administrator took her heart-warming, parental example anecdote to a place of travesty and unkindness.
Kate will dig in deep to her sense of perfection. She will hug tighter to her self image of an amazing mother. We will be treated to more positive thinking, motivational platitudes.
My mom always said if you accuse in public, you apologize in public.
So true. They ALL owe Joel a public apology, at the board of inquisition, I mean dinner table.
This is NO way this should be secret. She chose to start it with them as a group, it needs to be ended as a group. She should be sitting them down as a group and talking about why it's not OK to let someone else take the hit.
The dynamics of this story is so wrong, on sooooo many levels.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Snort. That sound you hear is Katie Irene saying... "CV? pad the Children's Vegetables? How do I do that and would it leave me an extra $5 everymonth for nail polish? CV???..."
Maybe Steve could make her a fake one... he is good at stuff like that.

And Joel took the hit because they all "heartily agreed" he looked guilty.
K -"Doesnt Joel look guilty?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 7 - "yeah, sure, Gestational Carrier, just leave ME alone." K - "I have decided JOEL DID IT, as evidenced by heartily agreeance!!!!!"
Ya know, has it occured to Katie that SHE WAS WRONG? SHE MADE AN ERROR? SHE MADE A MISTAKE? SHE HURT HER YOUNGEST SON FOR NO REASON? KATE. WAS. WWRROONNGG!!!!!
Sadly, i believe that Joel took the hit because that is his role in this family. He takes things for the team, like wearing someone's dirty socks on his excematous hands. (I wrote that disgustedly, hope they were at least his own dirty socks, but gross anyway).

I liked the expression on the one guy's face when Hitler said this, he seemed to be unsure if he fit in any of those categories and should leave.
It is survival of the fittest in that household. They are left unsupervised. With her closed up in her "room" where one must knock (timidly) before entering, they might as well be alone in that huge house. The lot of us (7) were left alone for hours every day, and believe me it can get pretty scary. Yes oftentimes there was no trouble but when trouble came it was really, really bad. We survived often by sheer brute strength or a handy object or some by our wit. But we were never unsupervised when my mother was there. She was right there with us the entire time. She never closed a door on us that we had to knock on to enter (bathroom excluded). I already knew KT was a terrible mother from watching the show, but the depth to which I did not know until Twitter came along.
Another good movie is Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. She and her brother and their friends worked to provide truth about the Hitler regime. They were tried, convicted and executed in 3 days of their crime of treason.

I love WWII movies too and I've seen that one. There are a lot streaming on Netflix now including that one. Also I can't remember the name now but there is a movie about Christians who hide Jewish servants in their house and pass them off as Christians. It was good too.
I lurk more than post, but this warrants a major two-thumbs-up, Admin! I have tears running down my face I am laughing so hard. You are beyond brilliant!
OT for Berks (33) In the Garden of the Beasts by Erik Larson is a fascinating read about the US ambassador to Germany (and his family) during Hitler's rise to power.
Wasn't it reported a week or so ago, that Gina declined an invitation somewhere, around this date..March 15th.. because Steve would be out of town? Maybe he and Kate are off somewhere for a long weekend?
OT...Thanks Admin ...60 and Rhymes...65 for the recommendations. I'lllook up both. I'm also reading Day after Night about what happened to undocumented Jews after they were released from the concentration camps. (some had to go to new internment camps)
Bravo, bravo, Admin!!! Bravissimo. (Standing up clapping...) I will never fully understand how you ever thought stringing "spaghetti", "brussel sprouts" and "doing paperwork" in the same sentence for comical effect, but it was hilarious indeed. Oh, wait... Kate did that first. (More or less...)
Admin-Let me add my sediments for a job well done. That video was brilliant! I've watched it 3 times, and the tears are still streaming down my face. The blog post raised my blood pressure-this video lowered it a notch or two.
By the way-speaking of personal property-what about the things that belonged to Jon's father. Didn't she make Jon get rid of them? She really is a f'ng hypocrite.
Admin, absolutely hilarious! I've watched it about 5 times already. The way Hitler's head is going up and down as he yells he'll probably end up peeing himself on the cruise, so funny! ++++++++

Gina Neild Sorry Pam, Steve and I are heading to DC that night to see Spamalot.
Hi, everyone. I am a very long time lurker, but this is my first post. First of all, kudos to you, Admin; that was hilarious!! To everyone else, I've enjoyed reading your thoughtful and intelligent posts. The wit and humor on this blog is amazing!
"Don't worry, that shit ain't gonna happen" made me spew water all over my computer.
%%%%%%%%%
I was just going to write the same thing. Those two women whispering to each other broke the fury of Mein Fuhrer and was too funny for words. Best part of the video!
I taught German, so it was difficult for me to separate what he was saying from the subtitles. It kind of blended together!
Uh oh, someone posted it to Kate? And we thought the wrath over a globe is bad.
Seriously though I hope she takes a moment to just lighten up and laugh at herself. The quotes are mostly hers after all. Is she mad at the own things she said?
Hilarious! Thank you for the chuckle this a.m., Admin. Can anyone tell me why, oh why, there is something about Kate G. on Yahoo news? Isn't her 15 minutes on overload? I did not read it.

More OT for Berks, but as Admin and others have joined in this discussion, I guess it is OK. :)
I'm fascinated by that period of history too -- why did people behave as they did participant, bystander, resister or collaborator. What did they know and when did they know it? I've collected a lot of autobigraphical accounts, diaries, memoires etc of European women who lived before and during WWII.
Two more quick book recommendations --
Allison Owings, "Frauen: German Women Recall the Third Reich." Very readable style although the content is hard, acknowledged limitations as the author/interviewer is a journalist not an historian. I found it mesmerizing. About 30 different interviews ranging from women active in the restance to a Concentration Camp Guard!
"Embracing the Other: Philosophical, Psychological and Historical Perspectives of Altruism." This is a collection of essays studying gentiles who chose to hide and save Jewish people during the Holocaust. Not a quick read at all.
Another movie recommendation albeit an older one: Louis Malle's autobiographical "Au revoir, Les Enfants." Great movie.
OMG, that was a moment, well 4 minutes, of sheer brilliance. And I had to boot up another computer (yes, Kate we have more than 1 that we PAID for) to see it since my Ipad does not a llow Flash. Brava, brava, brava!
Of course, the biotch seems to be in twitter jail, must be in her room, err bunker, surrounded by paperwork and empty wine boxes trying to get the permanent frowny face to go away. Whoever sent the link to her this morning, well, you know this is a one on since he/she is permanently banned, banned I say. Twat may not be posting but she is most definitely reading. That's a given.
Weather wise it is a gloomy, about to rain, day on this coast. Since I have dinner in the crockpot, maybe I should retreat to my bunker with paperwork and wine boxes. Tempting. Carry on troops.
It is a plug for coupon cabin. She of course mentions the kids, but the reason for the video is to plug coupon cabin. It is an advertisement. Not sure why it is "what is kate up to?" teaser.
Jill P said... 85 Thanks for adding a bunch more books to my list. What a great resource all of you 'haters' are. *snark* Actually I'm impressed that I'm not the only one who's interested in the way others take advantage over the weak. Perhaps that's why we find Kate's life so oddly compelling. She has preyed on and worked to control the weakest (her children) and tossed aside anyone that would dare disagree with her methodology. She allows only yes men and enablers to enter her circle. It parallels the way dictators act and react to situations. (Sheeple - don't get your panties in a wad, I'm not saying that Kate=Hitler just that her actions prove a level of having to be in control that goes beyond organizational obsession or OCD.)
A brilliant parody, but how sad that Kate has put herself and the children in this situation. If wishes came true, I would wish that this shakes Kate to her core and she seeks the help she needs.
I brought out my laptop to see your priceless video. It does not appear on my iPad. So well done, you are a natural comedy screenplay writer! SNL needs you.
Isn't this her MO, throw the dog a bone and leave. Twitter silence means pizza at the CONpound - yum - but the calories - the horror. Or maybe she got to FLY AWAY on a HAIR plane. Her love of flying is unparalleled in this universe. Must share/equal time rules apply.
Don't you think Kate is off somewhere this weekend? Didn't she tweet that we would be seeing her again soon in another one of those prom dresses? Does Jon have the kids this weekend?
Thanks Administrator; hillarious and deeply disturbing at the same time. I hope Mrs. Hitler gets to see herself as others see her. Again, the comparison is deeply disturbin.

As I watched your fantastic parody, I was reminded of a scene in "Life Is Beautiful", where the main character (Guido Orefice) was in the Jewish concentration camp with his little boy...
For those who never saw this movie, upon entering the barrack, a Nazi soldier needed someone to translate his orders. Guido, fearing that his son finds out the horrors of what was happening, volunteered to translate for the guard. EXCEPT, his translation was entirely different, and less frightening than what the Nazi soldier was really barking to the room.
[Excerpt] (Guido translating to the room of confused concentration camp prisoners & his son)
"The game starts now. You have to score one thousand points. If you do that, you take home a tank with a big gun. Each day we will announce the scores from that loudspeaker. The one who has the fewest points will have to wear a sign that says "Jackass" on his back. There are three ways to lose points. One, turning into a big crybaby. Two, telling us you want to see your mommy. Three, saying you're hungry and want something to eat."
Oh, this movie makes me cry like a baby. (I saw it without subtitles, but there is a version available with subtitles- for folks that do not understand Italian)
My husband knows I follow this blog...sometimes he teases me. This morning, he had to know what was making me laugh so outrageously. I tried to explain. I had to go backwards and try to summarize the blog entry. Then I showed him the clip...sharing a lap top and sipping our coffee. He got it! Even without extensive or detailed knowledge.
Administrator, you drew happy lurkers out of the shadows and you charmed at least one Gosselin-free husband.' You rule!!
I have now watched 4 times. Caught the Col. Klink looking guy shifting his eyes in confusion - am I a Palin or Aunt Jodi??
Berks it is interesting how many closet ww2 buffs are here! I have been obsessed since like 7th grade when the history channel replayed Winds of War. I devoured Herman Wouks books right after. I haven't read much in awhile but still will check out films which seem to be endless.
I second Laine's sediment that the underlying sadness of this is that Kate is deeply disturbed and needs help. She wrote and posted this because she truly believes this is an example of her superior parenting, when it's a textbook example of how NOT to discipline. As I read 'GlobeGate" *I* was scared!! I can only imagine how those poor babies felt during the ongoing interrogations. She wrote that she told the kids that if they fessed up that would be the end of it, still no one fessed up. That tells me that maybe she's pulled that trick before. Perhaps some little soul fessed up in the past only to still be dragged off to the power room. If they felt safe confessing, the anonymous girl tup would have done so at the time. She isn't teaching her kids (disciple-discipline=teach) why their actions are wrong, she's training them to be sneaky snitches.
If she "disgustedly" took the $10 POS globe to the kitchen to repair it, WTF is she going to do when they start getting in real trouble? She is not going to handle 6- 13 yr. olds and 2-17 yr. olds very well and I suspect they get shipped to Jon's. To Kate and narcissists in general, parenting is about appearances and control, like dressing the kids up for a Fall photo shoot and using them as fodder for her blog. As soon as the real teenage fun & drama starts and she can no longer sequester them on the Konpound, she will be D-O-N-E.
I don't think I've ever seen Kate's twitter this quiet. Where are all the fans and their positive thoughts to keep her going for yet another dreary, stress-filled day?
I rarely post, but do lurk here every day. I just have to say Admin this is a work of art, congratulations.
I hope Kate gets to see it, as others have mentioned, she may realize how mean and despicable she is to everyone around her, especially her children.
Those poor children are scared shi.... of their own mother. I now understand why they were crying uncontrollably when Jon dropped them off after their weekend with him. What a life, they're walking on egg shells in their own home (I shouldn't even call it a home, a real home is a safe haven).
Thanks to all on this blog. I often think of commenting but most of what I would say has already been said far better than I would be able to.
I bet that globe wasn't a cheapo..when they moved in, they received new furniture (another freebie), and I bet the globe was a really nice one. yep, I bet she is out on the prowl today. Guess its one of those fundraisers that doesn't want 'awareness' :) I like how she tells every detail of her troubled life to her fans, yet when she has a glam stunt to do, she never shares. (I think she doesn't tell them about her fancy events, due to that making her not relate-able to her fans).
Fleecing, I'm a civil war buff. Actually, I love American history, but the civil war era is one of my favorites.
====
Mine, too, LoveMy...especially the Lincoln Presidency, the assassination, the hunt for Booth and the Gettysburg/Antietam battles. I swear I'm reincarnated and lived during that time period! If you haven't read Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, it's a great read, very well done, and well researched without going off on tangents...one of the best I've read, and answers so many questions.
I wonder if the money worries and the latest blog post are related to court stuff. I would not be surprised to learn that she asked the judge for alimony and a raise in child support now that the show is over. If that is the case then the judge may have asked for records of her spending. Or even told her to drop the lavish lifestyle.
The children probably told Jon what happens at home and he may have brought it up in court. Kate may be trying to paint a rosy picture for the judge on her blog.
A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said... 102 As I watched your fantastic parody, I was reminded of a scene in "Life Is Beautiful", where the main character (Guido Orefice) was in the Jewish concentration camp with his little boy...
Life is beautiful is my favorite movie too Pink Straight Jacket, we will have to share! Seriously, a couple years ago on my birthday I got a copy from our library(I had seen the movie before) and cajoled my teenage son and daughter to watch it with me. Neither was happy to see a subtitled movie initially but agreed to watch it with me since it was my birthday. We all had tears in our eyes when it was over. It is one of the most beautiful movies and portrays one of the strongest example of how a parent's attitude will effect their child's perspective on life. If only Kate would consider how her poisonous diatribe against Jon and the rest of her excommunicated family must effect her children. I hold no hope out for this after all these years. The barrack scene with the Nazi colonel and the Dad interpeting what he said as the rules of the game was one of the funiest movie scenes I have ever witnessed. I second Pink's recommendation, if you want to see a touching, beautiful and ultimalely uplifing movie, See Life is Beautiful. You local library may have the DVD and you can watch it for free.
Admin, Bravo! This is hilarious and the footage fits perfectly with the map and the globe. I thought of Joel when I saw the one man looking shocked and upset.
It still boggles my mind that Kate is going on and on about lying(the photographer, her kids, tabloids, etc.) when she, herself is continually lying. Her perception of herself is so very skewed, either that or she thinks if she tells her fans something they will believe it to be fact since it came from her. Problem is that her story changes to suit the situation. I feel she is the definition of "walking contradiction".
I like how she tells every detail of her troubled life to her fans, yet when she has a glam stunt to do, she never shares. (I think she doesn't tell them about her fancy events, due to that making her not relate-able to her fans). ====
Yeah but she got a memo telling her to keep her pie-hole shut. She's a rule-follower. lol
Admin, you could do a whole series with this Hitler/Kate video. I can see her twitter war with Mr. Photographer Man with this clip. You've breathed new life into her failing career. hahaha.
If Kate is trying to use her blog to paint a rosy picture of life at home, then that latest blog post surely will blow it all up, hopefully in her face. With stuff like that posted on the internet, kids do not need to tell their father anything.

Someone tweeted a picture of the globe last night. It was somewhere in the house during filming of an episode.
It's blue, like one of those typical globes you find in elementary school rooms. Nothing special at all.
Could Kate's blogging about personal stuff her kids have done, answering questions about Jon and so on...could it all eventually land her in court?
I mean I've seen people go to court over lesser things even frivolous things.
But the way she carries on...I'm starting to wonder does she not ever feel there's a limit?
Wouldn't it be too late at this point to as a judge for alimony? Don't you have to be married for a certain amount of years? I guess a decade is a long time.
Not real sure how a raise in child support works. Don't you have to prove your children require more money to be able to live? She seems to be doing just fine on what she's got. Without her own job.
I'd love for a judge to tell Kate no raise, if you want more money, you go out and get a job like your ex husband has got. Eh, I can dream.
The only thing deeply disturbing is that you actually believe there is a comparison between Adolf Hitler and Kate Gosselin.
============
I knew this was coming. I was going to ask how long it would be before a sheeple accuses you of comparing Kate and Hitler. It took a bit longer than I thought! Where have they been?

If by "you" you mean the Administrator, I made no such accusation. The comment was directed at the person who I quoted as saying the comparison between the two was deeply disturbing. Why don't you ask that person why she feels that a comparison was being made?
Her blog post is just wrong. It violates every parenting technique out there. It not only teaches some of the kids to be bullies, it also leaves some with no self esteem...the witnesses as well as the victim.
As a kid to have to watch abuse and *know* that you're powerless to stop it...I don't think there's anything more cruel that an adult can do. It just breaks my heart.
"Don't worry, no one can afford that cruise. That shit ain't happening."
BRILLIANT!
I have had a rough couple of days here in mediocre land - things are better now - and I really, REALLY needed the laugh that brought me! Thank you so much admin, for your comic genius.
For my Canadian friends, have you seen the Tim Horton's version of this? Also V.funny. http://youtu.be/l9T8_xkYNg0
I hope this gets around to more people than those here. It will be interesting to see if there are any responses to the mention on twitter! Going back now to watch it again.
Kate has been told for years now that she should share everything and that she can do no wrong. She can pitch a fit and still have adoring fans tell her how wonderful she is. They even tell her that pizzagate was not her fault.
She probably feels that she has a right to share everything online. She may even think that it is part of her freedom of speech. At this point, I doubt that it crossed her mind that she might get in trouble for sharing this stuff.
I think that she was using the blog post to convince people that she is not yelling at her children. She is being "calm" with them and giving them a "chance" to come forward and admit that they did it. We all know that this is not true. We have seen her do this a million times. Pizzagate was the first time it was fully shown on TV. We also know that her post reeks of abusive and manipulative parenting.
I just figured out how to add a photo to my Google blogger account. And, I put some info about myself there. It is not hard to do -- for all my friends who are as computer challenged as I am. My email is available. If you have written and published a book, please let me know. I want to read it. Thanks.
Kate should never be compared to Hitler for many reasons.
1. Hitler was intelligent 2. Hitler had friends/lovers 3. Hitler had an entire country supporting him, Kate has an entire country wishing she'd leave. 4. Hitler never had a boob job. 5. Hitler had bad hair too ... okay, go ahead and compare.
I don't think Kate would be interested in the suggestions for reading and watching. Way over her head.
==============
Right. However, she should take the kids on a day trip to Gettysburg. The tups may be too young to fully grasp it, but the twins certainly are ready for some history lessons. She took all of them to historic Philadelphia, but she was being paid for an episode.
On second thought, she said that FDR was on HER Mount Rushmore. I wonder if she toured Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg if she would tell the kids he was a Confederate general.
***** To the best of my knowledge, Kate can't ask for alimony at this point. That has to be awarded at the time of the initial divorce decree. Admin, am I mistaken?
She could ask for an increase in child support, but I doubt she'd do that for as you said, she'd have to put in an accounting of her spending. And Kate doesn't like to be held accountable for anything. Also, I'm sure she has more assets than Jon, so I don't see a judge granted an increase simply because she's not working, however most family courts use a preset calculator, so maybe.
My understanding is that Jon was awarded more custody time which would have lowered his payments, most likely, as visitation is a factor in how much a person pays - the more you have your kids, the less you have to contribute to your spouse because you're meeting those expenses directly while they're with you.
No, I haven't. Is it worth the read? I'm reading Kauffman's American Brutus right now. It's excellent.
==================== It is worth the read. I want to read American Brutus. Thanks for the review.
Kate should take the kids to Gettysburg. It is great spot. You can take a guided tour or roam at will. I am waiting until my twins (8 in July) are old enough to do the whole Civil War tour. I still remember my parents taking me to Appomattox and walking down the same path as the surrendering army. Now, those are memories, Kate.

Thank you so much admin, for your comic genius. ==== bearswife - Something is going around big time, don't know what it is. Glad to hear things are better for you. Our household has had everything from the flu to an abscessed tooth to hubby slipping on the stairs and hurting his back....ackk what a week. I agree... It's great to come here for some relief.
The TH vid is hilarious too.
(Is it Canadian blashpemy to say I don't like Timmy's coffee? Too strong for me. And those TH cups are littering our town!)
SS said... 143 Kate should never be compared to Hitler for many reasons.
1. Hitler was intelligent 2. Hitler had friends/lovers 3. Hitler had an entire country supporting him, Kate has an entire country wishing she'd leave. 4. Hitler never had a boob job. 5. Hitler had bad hair too ... okay, go ahead and compare.
********************
Oh, how lovely that someone using the screen name SS has chimed in. Nice to see a Hitler fan in the midst. Little history lesson for ya...the entire country did not support Hitler. Go back and look at the vote count for 1932 German presidential election so you won't look like an ignorant fool next time.
My understanding is that Jon was awarded more custody time which would have lowered his payments, most likely, as visitation is a factor in how much a person pays - the more you have your kids, the less you have to contribute to your spouse because you're meeting those expenses directly while they're with you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is my understanding too. But, I would not put it past her to try and get the amount raised. For a while, she could do no wrong in the court. She got everything in the divorce. She has been hyperfocused on telling everyone how much it costs to raise her children lately. Thats where my rational came from.
I am happy that the children get to see their dad more. They deserve that relationship. I am also happy to see Jon getting some small victories in court. I almost guarantee that he provides them with health insurance through his work. Most courts require working parents to provide this if their work offers it. He has to pay some amount for that so I am sure the court is taking that into consideration too. Insurance is expensive especially when you have 8 kids.
Auntie Ann, I prefer coffee from McD's myself. Timmy's is over-rated and their donuts suck. JMO I live 2 blocks from a TH and the cups are everywhere :(
EM, last year, around this time, I was laid off. I was really angry b/c I had worked hard for this company and helped turn their sales around. In hindsight it was the best thing to happen. I was able to change careers and now I have the best job i have ever had (and I am in my 40s). Keep moving forward and keep looking - you will find something good.
dmasy, be careful with putting your info out there. You may end up with unsolicited e-mails from sheeple. I have a travel blog tied to my e-mail account and when I first started posting here, the blog was listed if you clicked on my profile. No more.
PJ's momma, thank you. I did think about it. But, I decided I am proud to post here. I don't blog much and this site is delightful to/for me. I am not going to be to intimidated by a few sheeple. If something negative starts to happen, I can always go underground again. I appreciate you kind concern.
It (It's a Beautiful Life) is one of the most beautiful movies and portrays one of the strongest example of how a parent's attitude will effect their child's perspective on life. If only Kate would consider how her poisonous diatribe against Jon and the rest of her excommunicated family must effect her children. I hold no hope out for this after all these years.
************************************************
You are absolutely right, cathy518.
Amid the irrationality & insanity that was occurring around them, the main characters in that movie didn't break down crying, drop to the ground in the fetal position, whine etc...
The most important thing was to protect their child from physical & mental harm at all cost.
That movie taught a valuable lesson in love, self-sacrificing & parenting.
Something pea-brained Katie Irene's globe story lacks.
dmasy, I am glad you considered all that. I meant to say, you are super-cute and so youthful looking! I deal with lots and lots of people, and nobody looks like that at your age!
PJ's momma, thank you...thank you! Your cute puppy picture was one of the reasons I found a way to add a photo. I have 4 sisters and people always guess our ages wrong. Good genetics, I guess. Thanks, again. Your posts are always interesting.

I think my Illinois seasons are probably a match for Kate's weather. Today, I am raking and burning tons of leaves that have blown into corners and crevices. I hauled out my wicker patio furniture and pressure washed it back to bright white. I snapped off the dead mums and revealed healthy green sprouts. I prepped my big flower pots for new annuals.
I have been thinking of Kate's large, landscaped yard. Who will do this for her? The cost will be astounding if she pays for the service. I can't see her ruining her manicure and tackling the tasks herself.

Someone tweeted a picture of the globe last night. It was somewhere in the house during filming of an episode.
It's blue, like one of those typical globes you find in elementary school rooms. Nothing special at all. --------- I stand corrected! I am surprised she would allow such a mediocre globe in her house :)
Wonder where Kate is? My guess is, not at home counting non-organic juice. Her entire tirade is textbook example of poor parenting. She really has a double standard, doesn't she? She bragged on tape a few years ago, that she wouldn't fess up to a misdeed as a child, so her brother Kevin took her punishment.
Steven spielberg filmed his Lincoln movie in Richmond Virginia last fall. It is based on the book Team of Rivals. It was very exiting to have real movie stars around town. Not a one of them with booby guards. Except spielberg, he always had one or two presumed bodyguards or assistants with him. Even the star, Daniel day Lewis who plays Lincoln, was all over town with no guard. Only one photo of him as Lincoln made it to the net. He reportedly was very polite and asked fans to not take his photo, and most people complied. He was reported to be very polite and willing to talk with people.

I can't wait to see that! We just had John Cusack and Emma Roberts here in the Syracuse area. Both were very nice and professional (and did not have bodyguards)
Love history. Have a BA in Eng and Hist before I went into nursing. My husband ( met at college) teaches history & writes history books. Some of our favorite spots to visit are Gettysburg and Williamsburg :)
Yeah, I can't picture Kate doing any yard work. What with her perfect manicured fingers and her butt permanently glued to that white lawn chair and all. She'd actually have to put down her phone and her cup of coffee. Not going to happen.
I just don't get how with no job, minimal child support so she claims...how can she afford to keep her lawn looking like that? Like she has a green thumb for it? "My clothes are ruined, I broke a nail."
Somebody's got to be doing her lawn keep, an unattended lawn doesn't stay perfect by itself.
Mandy said... 152 WOW! That was the best Hitler parody EVER! Thank you. I've watched it several times. So funny!
If Kate is traveling she didn't leave yesterday, unless she drove to D.C. to spy on Steve at the theater. :D I wouldn't put that past her. ______________________ I thought by this she might have been some where besides home with the kids.
I believe one of the kids messed with the globe, but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT Kate was calm about it. Remember how she went ballistic when one of the tups removed a knob from a drawer? Besides, none of the kids will squeal on the other one in front of each other, so why the 3d degree at dinner, no less? I think the "teaching moment" was totally made up.
Also, I'd like to add that if someone finally 'fessed up, it's because Kate punished everyone until someone did. That's more like her. I bet she was livid because her temper is legendary.

Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB said... 175
FYI, because I'm taking a lunch break and have nothing else to do, as of Sunday, March 18, Kate will have been on Twitter for one year. ==== Ahh, that would explain her absence. She's out shopping for twitter glitter to put on her anniversary cupcakes. Another excuse to party.
When has Kate ever been "calm" with her kids? Her first reaction is to snap in anger or make an unpleasant face at them or if not all together outright bark at them. I mean she's already been photographed hitting one of her kids.
The purell incident, gum gate, dresser knob, I don't want to even hear you breathe, 45 minutes in the crib for getting out, frustrated with boys training I mean the list goes on and on.
Calm? Ha, not in a million years do I buy it. One thing I've never understood about parents is they always tell kids sure they can tell them anything but when they often do, and they've done something wrong...all I've ever seen is parents blow up. Some might regret it later, few do in my experience.
I strongly believe Kate learned what she was taught, her parents probably blew up at her as a child and she said she felt over disciplined so therefore frequently kids follow what they know, what they saw.
Oh and Admin, I forget to add, I laughed so hard at this parody that I now know how Marie Osmond feels! Thanks, I watched it several times ****************************** Your comment made me laugh! I can just see people starting to say, "Oops, I just pulled a Marie!" or "Oh no! I just Maried myself!" LOL
I strongly believe Kate learned what she was taught, her parents probably blew up at her as a child and she said she felt over disciplined so therefore frequently kids follow what they know, what they saw. ====
I think because Kate lives in an arrested stage of development (age 12 or 13), she doesn't KNOW how to parent. She pretend plays mommy as if her kids were cabbage patch dolls.
If she agreed not to tell the others who actually broke the globe, how is it possible that the kids *all* learned a lesson about telling the truth?? Same goes for the secret apology to the boy who was incorrectly blamed -- again, what lesson can the other kids learn if they have no idea that he was exonerated??
I'm with the others who are calling bs on this story anyway -- there's no way Kate handled this calmly -- I imagine she yelled, screamed, berated, threatened, and punished until somebody -- anybody -- finally took the hit for the others. Lesson learned by the G8: Mommy is still a batshit crazy Nazi.
Kids aren't dolls. I've got a friend, about my age, having a baby this month. Says she's ready is excited because now she could play dress up, take pictures, she got really offended when I said there is more to taking care of a baby that will grow up than meeting the physical needs or playing dress up. I don't have any kids but I am sure there has to be more than just taking care of kids physical needs?
At one time Kate did say she's more able to meet the kids immediate needs than Jon who actually talked to the kids. That right there...says quite a bit about her parenting.
Comments on 2 different globes, ppuchased at different places:
Replogle Globe @Amazon.com Review ($43.99)
"I would not recommend this globe. I bought this for my 3rd grader and on the first day of using it, the equator peeled off!! I thought of keeping it anyway but decided to deal with the hassle and plan on returning it. It also feels too flimsy and can fall over easily."
Comments about Toys R Us 1001153 Edu Science World Globe 12 inch Diameter Globemaster: I ordered this globe for a supplement to my child's school curriculum. When it arrived at my door the paper on it was peeling away in several places. [...] This globe serves it's purpose, but it apparently is cheaply made. You get what you pay for.
AuntieAnn said...Ahh, that would explain her absence. She's out shopping for twitter glitter to put on her anniversary cupcakes. Another excuse to party. _________________________________
Of course, much like when she ordered the cake for herself when she ran, um, attended the marathon
Marie - that was my point. Kate hasn't grasped that they aren't dolls. She doesn't allow them to have their own emotions, she puts her emotions into them, like you do when you play with dolls. She uses them like toys that she can put away when she's done pretending with them.
Tweetle - I'll lay odds she's going to bring it up big time on Sunday, and celebrate with her 'amazing' six trillion followers.

Hmmmmmm. Interesting. Could THAT be why none of the kids confessed, because none of them did it??? I'm beginning to think those who speculated that one of the girl tups (Hannah?) was picked to "confess" were right on!

&&&&&&&&&&&&
Exactly. Kate lives in some land of arrested development.
Sunday is the LA marathon, today's paper featured a new runner, 33, inspired to run having been diagnosed with a brain tumor. She will have her first post surgical checkup next week, after the race. It is supposed to rain on Sunday. Do you think our running queen from PA would have run in LV if it had rained?
It is odd for her to be this silent. Are the sheep worried yet. If she is indeed gone on that vacation she so desparately said she needed during the week, at least her kids will have a quiet weekend.
I just looked at the globe that sits on the table behind me, had never even noticed the oh so peelable equator. i believe we bought the globe at Costco; if a grandchild peels the equator we will buy another one. Sweat the big stuff is my motto. Kids are kids.
Boy is Kate in for a rough ride when her kids won't let her play dolls with them! ==== Is she ever. When they discover they have minds and thoughts of their own, it's going to hit the fan. That's if her narcissist brain-washing hasn't convinced them otherwise.
Marie -it's become sort of a stock answer to questions that we'll never really know the answer to although in real life, it was a sad story. You can google Azaria Chamberlain to read about it.
Also it was a funny line Elaine quoted in a Seinfeld episode. You can google it for the Youtube clip, too.
Marie said... 194 @AuntieAnn...do you mind if I ask what's with the dingo reference? Is it because now Kate can't go to Au? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Marie-- this a pop culture reference to a movie that was based on a true story. A baby was missing on a family camping trip, and the mother (played by Meryl Streep, I think, said, with a very pronounced Aussie accent, that "the dingo ate my ba-a-by. I think it was an SNL skit, a band was named and it was on Seinfeld. google "dingo ate baby"
@bearswife- Thanks for posting the Timmie's version, loved it! (And yes, I am one of those that are totally addicted, I go 2 or 3 times a day... and its roll up the rim time, YAY!)
So sick and sad. Hitler murdered millions of Jews Kate didn't. Kate's followers may be weird. But their not murdering people for Kate its sick to compare anyone to Hitler.
985 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 985 Newer› Newest»Disturbingly hilarious.
Also, Jon? Hope you see this.
Fairy what's scary is most of the lines in this whole thing are direct quotes from Kate herself.
Disturbing indeed.
Okay that's it. That's the funniest take on the Hitler clip I've EVER watched.
I hope beyond hope Herr Gosselin sees it.
GREAT JOB, Admin!!!
"through tears, I thank you"
AuntieAnn, I have to say the whole Globe thing really fit in perfectly with that map! I love the part where he talks about the equator being peeled off and seems to demonstrate the action with his finger. LOL.
Yeah it's like it was actually waiting for Kate Gosselin to come along. It all fits.
You did a hell of a job. You're a freakin' Van Gogh, that's what you are. ha!
Once, when I was still married to her father, my daughter peeled off some wallpaper next to her door. It was already loose, she touched it AS ANY PERSON WOULD.
He got in her 1.5 year old little face and yelled at her as if she killed a puppy or ran into traffic.
I'm very easy-going and don't get mad easily but if she spills something or does something wrong she's still afraid I'll react like HE would react and she hasn't lived with him in over 8 years.
EM, I've been following your comments and want to wish you luck and good things for the future. I've taken a cut in pay too and survive paycheck-to-paycheck. Sometimes we, as mothers, need to put on a "Happy Face" when times our tough to help our kids feel confident that the bad times will pass.
I think I may have just woken my little artist/peeler with my laughter at this video.
"Don't worry, that shit ain't gonna happen" made me spew water all over my computer.
Good job.
Oh my hilarious goodness. Administrator, you have taken creativity to a new high! It is 4:00AM here -- laughing loud enough to wake hubby.
(I don't know what the actual German words are. I don't want anyone to think we are insensitive to the Hitler/Jewish situation. )
Hitler delivering Kate's dialogue -- captioned with brilliance! Choked on my coffee when he asks paps, haters...and anyone named Aunt Jodi to leave the room.
There should be a special category award for this clip!
Bravo, Admin! Hilarious and yet incredibly sad at the same time. Attention Kate: Get help now.
Heil Admin! A perfect match in style- Hitler/ Kate. Starting my day with a good laugh!
Oh my what a way to start my day! I laughed so hard I could hardly read the words through the tears. Actually have to go back and relook - my eyes were squinting so hard from laughing I didn't even catch all the dialogue!
Admin - OMG. Pure parody genius!
I woke up extra early this am for some reason and could NOT get back to sleep.
Now I know why! This hilarious parody was waiting. So clever. I'll be watching this many times today.
Excellent, Admin! Thank you.
That was HILARIOUS! Thanks for the grin this morning. You did a great job with this parody.
On a serious note, the movie this clip came from is Eye-Opening. It's called Downfall and is seriously disturbing in its accurate portrayal of the last few days of Hitler and how his minions followed him to their death (I won't even go into the scenes with the mom and her children - still makes me so sad). You can stream the movie on Netflix, but give yourself 3 hours and a full attention span as it's all in sub-titles.
Best Kate Gosselin tribute video ever!!! I am still laughing...
Admin, I hope you can hear the chuckles from the other coast! That is an instant classic that made me belly laugh with my morning coffee.
Wait for it..... its a GLOBAL CRISIS!!!!!; GOSSELIN STYLE.
Thank you.
Long time lurker, first time poster.....
Bravo Admin, Bravo!
Admin, brilliant! Thanks for providing things like this, or participating in the GI discussion on the Dance Moms thread.
Amin, pure brillance. I laughed so hard i almost peed myself. Thanks for making my day.
Admin.,
That was disgustingly brilliant!All I could see in my head were the 8 gosselins lined up in a row, with Kate delivering this drivel and smacking the big, red spoon for emphasis. OMG.
Bet you feel so much better now, don't ya? I always thought Khate would make Hitler a great wife .Thanks for the great wake -up this morning.Saluting, clicking heels together and marching out of the room now.(snark.)
Hilarious! The recap of all recaps. You've captured it all. Loved the "Oh my God".
May it go viral :)
I am SO happy I didn't hit my computer when I woke up at 4AM like I usually do. My neighbors would NOT have appreciated the hysterical laughter at that hour. It is sad and creepy to realize that she is every bit as sick as this portrays her AND she is that way by CHOICE!
Think you hit every single note on this one, Adm! Impressive and hilarious.
(Adm, please read the email I just sent you.)
a-freaking-mazing !!!!
Bwahahaha! Great job Admin.
Another coming out of lurkdom to say -- that is absolutely brilliant Admin!
As for Kate teaching her children to respect other people's property, I hardly think she teaches by example. She donated the ornaments the twins had been given by their grandfather without asking them, threw the tups' toys downstairs, and "cleaned" the twins' room by throwing all their belongings downstairs an her return from a book tour. Hardly respectful.
Off topic to Berks Neighbor: Downfall is a disturbing film, and quite controversial in that it appears to humanize the inhuman in its portrayal of Hitler and his inner circle. The adults were all cognisant of and actively engaged in perpetrating the crimes of the Nazi regime. You might find Irmgard Hunt's book interesting -- On Hitler's Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood. It is a very thoughtful book told from the perspective of a child.
Hope it goes viral.......it deserves to.... by the way...where is Hitler this morning?
I definitely lurk more than I post, but I had to come out of lurkdom myself to add my verbal applause for this piece of brilliancy!
I am still laughing. As I read Kate's own words - it was killing me!
This is the BEST yet! :)
Admin, that was HYSTERICAL. And so on point. Thanks for the laughs.
I see our ranks are expanding thanks to this video.
Wunderbar!!!!!!!
Great job Admin! I loved the part that said I try to smile on the outside when I feel frowny on the inside. Too funny!
The 'bunker' quote and "That shit ain't happening' had me laughing my head off.
Concerning your video, to borrow a word from one of my girls, it is "GREATNESS"
hilariously funny!
Admin, my hat is off to you today...you are one smart and clever cookie.
Jill P said... 26
(sorry Admin, I'm going off topic for a moment)
Thanks for the book suggestion. I'm fascinated with WWII and all the aspects of that era: culture, politics and more. I can't get my head around how so many would follow Hitler and do such heinous crimes.
Another good movie is Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. She and her brother and their friends worked to provide truth about the Hitler regime. They were tried, convicted and executed in 3 days of their crime of treason.
Okay....enough off topic.
:-)
I wonder what Kate's good pal Dr. Drew would think of "Globe-Gate". Wish there was a way for him to read that nonsense and get his HONEST opinion.
BTW: Admin, I think you should give Kate some title credit. For coming up with most of the tripe she spews that was portrayed in the parody. Heck she could use it to pad her CV. ;-) *snark*
I LOVE 15 Minutes, Gosselin Style :o)!!!!
Beautifully done- bravo!!!
Nailed it.
Marie Osmond watched that video clip. She peed her pants - again!
Brava, Admin! Brava!
LOL - pure hilarious-ish-ness Admin!
Brilliant!! Very creative! I just hope that someone who knows Jon, or who has contacts with Jon's friends, makes sure he reads Kate's blog post and sees this parody. He NEEDS to do something soon to get those kids away from her. I've said it before, but I've seen poisonous snakes with more maternal instinct than she has.
Oh my! Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. Actually, I'm still laughing and probably will be all day.
I wonder what's up with Kate, no tweets since yesterday. Thoughts, anyone!!
What a great way to begin a Friday! When you get tired of your current mediocre job, perhaps you should think about becoming a television writer. Brilliant!
She's been with those kids toooo damn long...she probably was ready to jump out of a window at this point. I have every confidence that she's on her way to some where. She kept saying she needed a vacation...from what...God only knows. Poor thing...withdrawal from vacationing is a brutal thing to go through...I feel her pain...Ha!
Admin, this is so funny! It is a shame Ms Kreider will never see it, since she would never read anything at this site. (who is that behind those big 3d glasses over there, wearing a pile of feathers? hi, Ms Kreider!)
Fab as usual, Admin. You have really outdone yourself!!!
Admin...
My header is blank, no parody link to click on. Anyone else missing it?
OMG what a riot!!!! "McBunker"!!!!! thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!
I only have one small complaint: Hitler's eyes dont bug out of his scull nearly enough to play the realest reality Katie Irene. After all, she proudly displayed her tantrum eye buldging talents week after week after week... BUT what Hitler lacked in the tantrum department is compensated by Katie's botched self-botoxing, so it all comes out even.
Funniest.Parody.Everrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!
The sad thing is, this is probaly exactly how it all went down in the Gosselin household.
If Kate sees this clip (and I really hope she does), she won't understand. She will immediately default to the haters-are-mean-to-me response. She will be convinced that Administrator took her heart-warming, parental example anecdote to a place of travesty and unkindness.
Kate will dig in deep to her sense of perfection. She will hug tighter to her self image of an amazing mother. We will be treated to more positive thinking, motivational platitudes.
She has the skin of an armadillo.
Admin...your best yet!!
My mom always said if you accuse in public, you apologize in public.
So true. They ALL owe Joel a public apology, at the board of inquisition, I mean dinner table.
This is NO way this should be secret. She chose to start it with them as a group, it needs to be ended as a group. She should be sitting them down as a group and talking about why it's not OK to let someone else take the hit.
The dynamics of this story is so wrong, on sooooo many levels.
Yes I can't click either. Is it an iPhone thing? Maybe post on YouTube?
I love this blog! Great job Admin, so funny!!

Snort. That sound you hear is Katie Irene saying... "CV? pad the Children's Vegetables? How do I do that and would it leave me an extra $5 everymonth for nail polish? CV???..."

And Joel took the hit because they all "heartily agreed" he looked guilty.
K -"Doesnt Joel look guilty?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
7 - "yeah, sure, Gestational Carrier, just leave ME alone."
K - "I have decided JOEL DID IT, as evidenced by heartily agreeance!!!!!"
Ya know, has it occured to Katie that SHE WAS WRONG? SHE MADE AN ERROR? SHE MADE A MISTAKE? SHE HURT HER YOUNGEST SON FOR NO REASON? KATE. WAS. WWRROONNGG!!!!!
Sadly, i believe that Joel took the hit because that is his role in this family. He takes things for the team, like wearing someone's dirty socks on his excematous hands. (I wrote that disgustedly, hope they were at least his own dirty socks, but gross anyway).
Laughed so much. Fabulous!

I liked the expression on the one guy's face when Hitler said this, he seemed to be unsure if he fit in any of those categories and should leave.
It is survival of the fittest in that household. They are left unsupervised. With her closed up in her "room" where one must knock (timidly) before entering, they might as well be alone in that huge house. The lot of us (7) were left alone for hours every day, and believe me it can get pretty scary. Yes oftentimes there was no trouble but when trouble came it was really, really bad. We survived often by sheer brute strength or a handy object or some by our wit. But we were never unsupervised when my mother was there. She was right there with us the entire time. She never closed a door on us that we had to knock on to enter (bathroom excluded).
I already knew KT was a terrible mother from watching the show, but the depth to which I did not know until Twitter came along.
Another good movie is Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. She and her brother and their friends worked to provide truth about the Hitler regime. They were tried, convicted and executed in 3 days of their crime of treason.

I love WWII movies too and I've seen that one. There are a lot streaming on Netflix now including that one. Also I can't remember the name now but there is a movie about Christians who hide Jewish servants in their house and pass them off as Christians. It was good too.
Great job Admin! I loved the part that said I try to smile on the outside when I feel frowny on the inside. Too funny!

Direct quote from Kate.
That was so funny! Probably not far from the truth. I wonder if the kids have private pow-wows to discuss their deranged mother?
Now we need the interrogation scene and apology by the guilty girl, lol.
Poor Joel. I wonder if he spent a tortured night wondering what he ever did to his mother as well as his treacherous siblings?
I lurk more than post, but this warrants a major two-thumbs-up, Admin! I have tears running down my face I am laughing so hard. You are beyond brilliant!
Hmmm....twatter silence. Wonder what that means?
OT for Berks (33)
In the Garden of the Beasts by Erik Larson is a fascinating read about the US ambassador to Germany (and his family) during Hitler's rise to power.
Wasn't it reported a week or so ago, that Gina declined an invitation somewhere, around this date..March 15th.. because Steve would be out of town? Maybe he and Kate are off somewhere for a long weekend?
OT...Thanks Admin ...60 and Rhymes...65 for the recommendations. I'lllook up both. I'm also reading Day after Night about what happened to undocumented Jews after they were released from the concentration camps. (some had to go to new internment camps)
Bravo, bravo, Admin!!! Bravissimo. (Standing up clapping...) I will never fully understand how you ever thought stringing "spaghetti", "brussel sprouts" and "doing paperwork" in the same sentence for comical effect, but it was hilarious indeed. Oh, wait... Kate did that first. (More or less...)
Admin-Let me add my sediments for a job well done. That video was brilliant! I've watched it 3 times, and the tears are still streaming down my face. The blog post raised my blood pressure-this video lowered it a notch or two.
By the way-speaking of personal property-what about the things that belonged to Jon's father. Didn't she make Jon get rid of them? She really is a f'ng hypocrite.
Admin, absolutely hilarious! I've watched it about 5 times already. The way Hitler's head is going up and down as he yells he'll probably end up peeing himself on the cruise, so funny!

She was declining an invitation to a charity event on 3/15 because she and Steve would be in DC to see Spamalot:

Sorry Pam, Steve and I are heading to DC that night to see Spamalot.
Thank you...very very good
Hi, everyone. I am a very long time lurker, but this is my first post. First of all, kudos to you, Admin; that was hilarious!! To everyone else, I've enjoyed reading your thoughtful and intelligent posts. The wit and humor on this blog is amazing!
Am I the only one now imagining Kate with a Hitler mustache while barking orders at the 8.?
Uploaded a higher quality video and made a few minor changes.
Thanks everyone glad you enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
"Don't worry, that shit ain't gonna happen" made me spew water all over my computer.

I was just going to write the same thing. Those two women whispering to each other broke the fury of Mein Fuhrer and was too funny for words. Best part of the video!
I taught German, so it was difficult for me to separate what he was saying from the subtitles. It kind of blended together!
Good job!
Adm...QUICK!!!
NEW EMAIL...I am so embarrassed!!!
I have pneumonia; that's my excuse; and I'm sticking to it. I am "that word" we were discussing.
Maybe Kate went with the bodyguard and his wife....afte all...she has no other social life..
I have never enjoyed peeing my panties as much as I did just now. Thank you for making me tinkle in my britches!
Well, someone has posted the link to the video on Kate's Twitter. This should be interesting.
Ashri @ashridash
Bravo...just bravo @kateplusmy8 http://www.realitytvkids.com/2012/03/no-more-booby-guard.html
Great job...this is good enough to be on SNL.
Uh oh, someone posted it to Kate? And we thought the wrath over a globe is bad.
Seriously though I hope she takes a moment to just lighten up and laugh at herself. The quotes are mostly hers after all. Is she mad at the own things she said?
Hilarious! Thank you for the chuckle this a.m., Admin. Can anyone tell me why, oh why, there is something about Kate G. on Yahoo news? Isn't her 15 minutes on overload? I did not read it.
Berks Neighbor said... 33
(sorry Admin, I'm going off topic for a moment)
Thanks for the book suggestion. I'm fascinated with WWII and all the aspects of that era: culture, politics and more. I can't get my head around how so many would follow Hitler and do such heinous crimes.
==============
More OT for Berks, but as Admin and others have joined in this discussion, I guess it is OK. :)
I'm fascinated by that period of history too -- why did people behave as they did participant, bystander, resister or collaborator. What did they know and when did they know it? I've collected a lot of autobigraphical accounts, diaries, memoires etc of European women who lived before and during WWII.
Two more quick book recommendations --
Allison Owings, "Frauen: German Women Recall the Third Reich." Very readable style although the content is hard, acknowledged limitations as the author/interviewer is a journalist not an historian. I found it mesmerizing. About 30 different interviews ranging from women active in the restance to a Concentration Camp Guard!
"Embracing the Other: Philosophical, Psychological and Historical Perspectives of Altruism." This is a collection of essays studying gentiles who chose to hide and save Jewish people during the Holocaust. Not a quick read at all.
Another movie recommendation albeit an older one: Louis Malle's autobiographical "Au revoir, Les Enfants." Great movie.
OMG, that was a moment, well 4 minutes, of sheer brilliance. And I had to boot up another computer (yes, Kate we have more than 1 that we PAID for) to see it since my Ipad does not a llow Flash. Brava, brava, brava!
Of course, the biotch seems to be in twitter jail, must be in her room, err bunker, surrounded by paperwork and empty wine boxes trying to get the permanent frowny face to go away. Whoever sent the link to her this morning, well, you know this is a one on since he/she is permanently banned, banned I say. Twat may not be posting but she is most definitely reading. That's a given.
Weather wise it is a gloomy, about to rain, day on this coast. Since I have dinner in the crockpot, maybe I should retreat to my bunker with paperwork and wine boxes. Tempting. Carry on troops.
Kate's been MIA for almost 24 hours...this usually means she's in the wind somewhere, 'working'.
I ran a few errands this morning and Admin's clip was rolling in my head. It is nothing short of brilliance.
Re YAHOO video:
It is a plug for coupon cabin. She of course mentions the kids, but the reason for the video is to plug coupon cabin. It is an advertisement. Not sure why it is "what is kate up to?" teaser.

Thanks for adding a bunch more books to my list. What a great resource all of you 'haters' are. *snark*
Actually I'm impressed that I'm not the only one who's interested in the way others take advantage over the weak.
Perhaps that's why we find Kate's life so oddly compelling. She has preyed on and worked to control the weakest (her children) and tossed aside anyone that would dare disagree with her methodology. She allows only yes men and enablers to enter her circle. It parallels the way dictators act and react to situations.
(Sheeple - don't get your panties in a wad, I'm not saying that Kate=Hitler just that her actions prove a level of having to be in control that goes beyond organizational obsession or OCD.)
oops, forgot to add, she is wearing that skanky aluminum foil dress so this had to be taped when she was in California weeks ago.
heather
A brilliant parody, but how sad that Kate has put herself and the children in this situation. If wishes came true, I would wish that this shakes Kate to her core and she seeks the help she needs.
THAT. WAS. PRICELESS.
I especially enjoyed the little touches, like the ß for a b! (Which is really an s.)
That shit ain't happenin!
Brava, Admin, brava!
@Dmasy loved your comment about Kate having Armadillo skin but you insulted all Armadillos even the roadkill. ;)
Admin:
I brought out my laptop to see your priceless video. It does not appear on my iPad. So well done, you are a natural comedy screenplay writer! SNL needs you.
OMG! Too funny. You've outdone yourself Admin. Congrats.
Isn't this her MO, throw the dog a bone and leave. Twitter silence means pizza at the CONpound - yum - but the calories - the horror. Or maybe she got to FLY AWAY on a HAIR plane. Her love of flying is unparalleled in this universe. Must share/equal time rules apply.
I would love to see this on "the soup" hehe
It made my day. I really enjoy creativity and you nailed it admin. I had to watch it twice.
Don't you think Kate is off somewhere this weekend? Didn't she tweet that we would be seeing her again soon in another one of those prom dresses? Does Jon have the kids this weekend?
Thanks Administrator; hillarious and deeply disturbing at the same time. I hope Mrs. Hitler gets to see herself as others see her. Again, the comparison is deeply disturbin.

I amuse myself.
As I watched your fantastic parody, I was reminded of a scene in "Life Is Beautiful", where the main character (Guido Orefice) was in the Jewish concentration camp with his little boy...
For those who never saw this movie, upon entering the barrack, a Nazi soldier needed
someone to translate his orders. Guido, fearing that his son finds out the horrors of what was happening, volunteered to translate for the guard. EXCEPT, his translation was entirely different, and less frightening than what the Nazi soldier was really barking to the room.
[Excerpt]
(Guido translating to the room of confused concentration camp prisoners & his son)
"The game starts now. You have to score one thousand points. If you do that, you take home a tank with a big gun. Each day we will announce the scores from that loudspeaker. The one who has the fewest points will have to wear a sign that says "Jackass" on his back. There are three ways to lose points. One, turning into a big crybaby. Two, telling us you want to see your mommy. Three, saying you're hungry and want something to eat."
Oh, this movie makes me cry like a baby.
(I saw it without subtitles, but there is a
version available with subtitles- for folks that do not understand Italian)
My husband knows I follow this blog...sometimes he teases me. This morning, he had to know what was making me laugh so outrageously. I tried to explain. I had to go backwards and try to summarize the blog entry. Then I showed him the clip...sharing a lap top and sipping our coffee. He got it! Even without extensive or detailed knowledge.
Administrator, you drew happy lurkers out of the shadows and you charmed at least one Gosselin-free husband.' You rule!!

Can't you also see her as the James Cagney character in the classic "Mr. Roberts", when he goes bat shit crazy over the missing palm tree?
Berks it is interesting how many closet ww2 buffs are here! I have been obsessed since like 7th grade when the history channel replayed Winds of War. I devoured Herman Wouks books right after. I haven't read much in awhile but still will check out films which seem to be endless.
OMG! I just watched the video--Admin, can I hug you? That was AWESOME!
Berks it is interesting how many closet ww2 buffs are here!

WOW...Great video!!!
Also wondering were Kate's GN and GM tweets are...hummm
Fleecing Im a CW buff too lol. I'm writing a novel that takes place in Missouri during the Quantrill raids.
oops...WHERE
Admin, that was priceless! So well done :)
I second Laine's sediment that the underlying sadness of this is that Kate is deeply disturbed and needs help. She wrote and posted this because she truly believes this is an example of her superior parenting, when it's a textbook example of how NOT to discipline. As I read 'GlobeGate" *I* was scared!! I can only imagine how those poor babies felt during the ongoing interrogations. She wrote that she told the kids that if they fessed up that would be the end of it, still no one fessed up. That tells me that maybe she's pulled that trick before. Perhaps some little soul fessed up in the past only to still be dragged off to the power room. If they felt safe confessing, the anonymous girl tup would have done so at the time. She isn't teaching her kids (disciple-discipline=teach) why their actions are wrong, she's training them to be sneaky snitches.
If she "disgustedly" took the $10 POS globe to the kitchen to repair it, WTF is she going to do when they start getting in real trouble? She is not going to handle 6- 13 yr. olds and 2-17 yr. olds very well and I suspect they get shipped to Jon's. To Kate and narcissists in general, parenting is about appearances and control, like dressing the kids up for a Fall photo shoot and using them as fodder for her blog. As soon as the real teenage fun & drama starts and she can no longer sequester them on the Konpound, she will be D-O-N-E.
Fleecing, I'm a civil war buff. Actually, I love American history, but the civil war era is one of my favorites.
I don't think I've ever seen Kate's twitter this quiet. Where are all the fans and their positive thoughts to keep her going for yet another dreary, stress-filled day?
I rarely post, but do lurk here every day. I just have to say Admin this is a work of art, congratulations.
I hope Kate gets to see it, as others have mentioned, she may realize how mean and despicable she is to everyone around her, especially her children.
Those poor children are scared shi.... of their own mother. I now understand why they were crying uncontrollably when Jon dropped them off after their weekend with him. What a life, they're walking on egg shells in their own home (I shouldn't even call it a home, a real home is a safe haven).
Thanks to all on this blog. I often think of commenting but most of what I would say has already been said far better than I would be able to.
"I don't care if it was a cheap globe. It was a freebie!" LOL! That does sound like something she'd say.
Oh man this thing just gets funnier every time I watch it.
"globe-peeling" bwhahaha.
I bet that globe wasn't a cheapo..when they moved in, they received new furniture (another freebie), and I bet the globe was a really nice one.
yep, I bet she is out on the prowl today. Guess its one of those fundraisers that doesn't want 'awareness' :)
I like how she tells every detail of her troubled life to her fans, yet when she has a glam stunt to do, she never shares. (I think she doesn't tell them about her fancy events, due to that making her not relate-able to her fans).

Mine, too, LoveMy...especially the Lincoln Presidency, the assassination, the hunt for Booth and the Gettysburg/Antietam battles. I swear I'm reincarnated and lived during that time period! If you haven't read Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, it's a great read, very well done, and well researched without going off on tangents...one of the best I've read, and answers so many questions.
I wonder if the money worries and the latest blog post are related to court stuff. I would not be surprised to learn that she asked the judge for alimony and a raise in child support now that the show is over. If that is the case then the judge may have asked for records of her spending. Or even told her to drop the lavish lifestyle.
The children probably told Jon what happens at home and he may have brought it up in court. Kate may be trying to paint a rosy picture for the judge on her blog.
A Pink Straight Jacket For Kate said... 102
As I watched your fantastic parody, I was reminded of a scene in "Life Is Beautiful", where the main character (Guido Orefice) was in the Jewish concentration camp with his little boy...
Life is beautiful is my favorite movie too Pink Straight Jacket, we will have to share! Seriously, a couple years ago on my birthday I got a copy from our library(I had seen the movie before) and cajoled my teenage son and daughter to watch it with me. Neither was happy to see a subtitled movie initially but agreed to watch it with me since it was my birthday. We all had tears in our eyes when it was over. It is one of the most beautiful movies and portrays one of the strongest example of how a parent's attitude will effect their child's perspective on life. If only Kate would consider how her poisonous diatribe against Jon and the rest of her excommunicated family must effect her children. I hold no hope out for this after all these years.
The barrack scene with the Nazi colonel and the Dad interpeting what he said as the rules of the game was one of the funiest movie scenes I have ever witnessed. I second Pink's recommendation, if you want to see a touching, beautiful and ultimalely uplifing movie, See Life is Beautiful. You local library may have the DVD and you can watch it for free.
Fleecing Im a CW buff too lol. I'm writing a novel that takes place in Missouri during the Quantrill raids.
==============
And it should be on the shelves...when? I'll buy it! I would assume that the publisher isn't Zondervan. :)
Admin, Bravo! This is hilarious and the footage fits perfectly with the map and the globe. I thought of Joel when I saw the one man looking shocked and upset.
It still boggles my mind that Kate is going on and on about lying(the photographer, her kids, tabloids, etc.) when she, herself is continually lying. Her perception of herself is so very skewed, either that or she thinks if she tells her fans something they will believe it to be fact since it came from her. Problem is that her story changes to suit the situation. I feel she is the definition of "walking contradiction".
Fleecing you or anyone who wants more details about my civil war novel just email me.

Admin, you could do a whole series with this Hitler/Kate video. I can see her twitter war with Mr. Photographer Man with this clip.
You've breathed new life into her failing career. hahaha.
If Kate is trying to use her blog to paint a rosy picture of life at home, then that latest blog post surely will blow it all up, hopefully in her face. With stuff like that posted on the internet, kids do not need to tell their father anything.
Oh and Admin, I forget to add, I laughed so hard at this parody that I now know how Marie Osmond feels! Thanks, I watched it several times

Someone tweeted a picture of the globe last night. It was somewhere in the house during filming of an episode.
It's blue, like one of those typical globes you find in elementary school rooms. Nothing special at all.
Could Kate's blogging about personal stuff her kids have done, answering questions about Jon and so on...could it all eventually land her in court?
I mean I've seen people go to court over lesser things even frivolous things.
But the way she carries on...I'm starting to wonder does she not ever feel there's a limit?
Wouldn't it be too late at this point to as a judge for alimony? Don't you have to be married for a certain amount of years? I guess a decade is a long time.
Not real sure how a raise in child support works. Don't you have to prove your children require more money to be able to live? She seems to be doing just fine on what she's got. Without her own job.
I'd love for a judge to tell Kate no raise, if you want more money, you go out and get a job like your ex husband has got. Eh, I can dream.

If by "you" you mean the Administrator, I made no such accusation. The comment was directed at the person who I quoted as saying the comparison between the two was deeply disturbing. Why don't you ask that person why she feels that a comparison was being made?
Her blog post is just wrong. It violates every parenting technique out there. It not only teaches some of the kids to be bullies, it also leaves some with no self esteem...the witnesses as well as the victim.
As a kid to have to watch abuse and *know* that you're powerless to stop it...I don't think there's anything more cruel that an adult can do. It just breaks my heart.
OMG I almost peed myself!

I hope this gets around to more people than those here. It will be interesting to see if there are any responses to the mention on twitter! Going back now to watch it again.
Did you read "Team of Rivals"?
=============
No, I haven't. Is it worth the read? I'm reading Kauffman's American Brutus right now. It's excellent.
Kate has been told for years now that she should share everything and that she can do no wrong. She can pitch a fit and still have adoring fans tell her how wonderful she is. They even tell her that pizzagate was not her fault.
She probably feels that she has a right to share everything online. She may even think that it is part of her freedom of speech. At this point, I doubt that it crossed her mind that she might get in trouble for sharing this stuff.
I think that she was using the blog post to convince people that she is not yelling at her children. She is being "calm" with them and giving them a "chance" to come forward and admit that they did it. We all know that this is not true. We have seen her do this a million times. Pizzagate was the first time it was fully shown on TV. We also know that her post reeks of abusive and manipulative parenting.
I just figured out how to add a photo to my Google blogger account. And, I put some info about myself there. It is not hard to do -- for all my friends who are as computer challenged as I am. My email is available. If you have written and published a book, please let me know. I want to read it. Thanks.
Kate should never be compared to Hitler for many reasons.
1. Hitler was intelligent
2. Hitler had friends/lovers
3. Hitler had an entire country supporting him, Kate has an entire country wishing she'd leave.
4. Hitler never had a boob job.
5. Hitler had bad hair too ... okay, go ahead and compare.
I don't think Kate would be interested in the suggestions for reading and watching. Way over her head.
==============
Right. However, she should take the kids on a day trip to Gettysburg. The tups may be too young to fully grasp it, but the twins certainly are ready for some history lessons. She took all of them to historic Philadelphia, but she was being paid for an episode.
On second thought, she said that FDR was on HER Mount Rushmore. I wonder if she toured Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg if she would tell the kids he was a Confederate general.
Best stuff in life is cheep said... 119
*****
To the best of my knowledge, Kate can't ask for alimony at this point. That has to be awarded at the time of the initial divorce decree. Admin, am I mistaken?
She could ask for an increase in child support, but I doubt she'd do that for as you said, she'd have to put in an accounting of her spending. And Kate doesn't like to be held accountable for anything. Also, I'm sure she has more assets than Jon, so I don't see a judge granted an increase simply because she's not working, however most family courts use a preset calculator, so maybe.
My understanding is that Jon was awarded more custody time which would have lowered his payments, most likely, as visitation is a factor in how much a person pays - the more you have your kids, the less you have to contribute to your spouse because you're meeting those expenses directly while they're with you.
Admin, wonderful parody.

Kate should take the kids to Gettysburg. It is great spot. You can take a guided tour or roam at will. I am waiting until my twins (8 in July) are old enough to do the whole Civil War tour. I still remember my parents taking me to Appomattox and walking down the same path as the surrendering army. Now, those are memories, Kate.

Oh, how lovely that someone using the screen name SS has chimed in. Nice to see a Hitler fan in the midst. Little history lesson for ya...the entire country did not support Hitler. Go back and look at the vote count for 1932 German presidential election so you won't look like an ignorant fool next time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is my understanding too. But, I would not put it past her to try and get the amount raised. For a while, she could do no wrong in the court. She got everything in the divorce. She has been hyperfocused on telling everyone how much it costs to raise her children lately. Thats where my rational came from.
I am happy that the children get to see their dad more. They deserve that relationship. I am also happy to see Jon getting some small victories in court. I almost guarantee that he provides them with health insurance through his work. Most courts require working parents to provide this if their work offers it. He has to pay some amount for that so I am sure the court is taking that into consideration too. Insurance is expensive especially when you have 8 kids.
Oops, posted under my google account instead of just name/ url. I like to keep my actual google account private. Oh well, these things happen.
WOW! That was the best Hitler parody EVER! Thank you. I've watched it several times. So funny!
If Kate is traveling she didn't leave yesterday, unless she drove to D.C. to spy on Steve at the theater. :D I wouldn't put that past her.
Auntie Ann, I prefer coffee from McD's myself. Timmy's is over-rated and their donuts suck. JMO
I live 2 blocks from a TH and the cups are everywhere :(
EM, last year, around this time, I was laid off. I was really angry b/c I had worked hard for this company and helped turn their sales around. In hindsight it was the best thing to happen. I was able to change careers and now I have the best job i have ever had (and I am in my 40s). Keep moving forward and keep looking - you will find something good.
Brilliant! BRAVO!!!! That is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, so thank you!

PJ's momma, thank you. I did think about it. But, I decided I am proud to post here. I don't blog much and this site is delightful to/for me. I am not going to be to intimidated by a few sheeple. If something negative starts to happen, I can always go underground again. I appreciate you kind concern.

It (It's a Beautiful Life) is one of the most beautiful movies and portrays one of the strongest example of how a parent's attitude will effect their child's perspective on life. If only Kate would consider how her poisonous diatribe against Jon and the rest of her excommunicated family must effect her children. I hold no hope out for this after all these years.
************************************************
You are absolutely right, cathy518.
Amid the irrationality & insanity that was occurring around them, the main characters in that movie didn't break down crying, drop to the ground in the fetal position, whine etc...
The most important thing was to protect their child from physical & mental harm at all cost.
That movie taught a valuable lesson in love, self-sacrificing & parenting.
Something pea-brained Katie Irene's globe story lacks.
dmasy, I am glad you considered all that. I meant to say, you are super-cute and so youthful looking! I deal with lots and lots of people, and nobody looks like that at your age!
McBunker. LMAO!!
PJ's momma, thank you...thank you! Your cute puppy picture was one of the reasons I found a way to add a photo. I have 4 sisters and people always guess our ages wrong. Good genetics, I guess. Thanks, again. Your posts are always interesting.

Nope a fellow Canadian here and I just don't get the whole Timmy's thing lol I also prefer Mcd's by far!!!
I think my Illinois seasons are probably a match for Kate's weather. Today, I am raking and burning tons of leaves that have blown into corners and crevices. I hauled out my wicker patio furniture and pressure washed it back to bright white. I snapped off the dead mums and revealed healthy green sprouts. I prepped my big flower pots for new annuals.
I have been thinking of Kate's large, landscaped yard. Who will do this for her? The cost will be astounding if she pays for the service. I can't see her ruining her manicure and tackling the tasks herself.

I bet that globe wasn't a cheapo..when they moved in, they received new furniture (another freebie), and I bet the globe was a really nice one.

Someone tweeted a picture of the globe last night. It was somewhere in the house during filming of an episode.
It's blue, like one of those typical globes you find in elementary school rooms. Nothing special at all.

I stand corrected! I am surprised she would allow such a mediocre globe in her house :)
Wonder where Kate is? My guess is, not at home counting non-organic juice.
Her entire tirade is textbook example of poor parenting. She really has a double standard, doesn't she? She bragged on tape a few years ago, that she wouldn't fess up to a misdeed as a child, so her brother Kevin took her punishment.
Das ist gut, Admin! Danke.
Steven spielberg filmed his Lincoln movie in Richmond Virginia last fall. It is based on the book Team of Rivals. It was very exiting to have real movie stars around town. Not a one of them with booby guards. Except spielberg, he always had one or two presumed bodyguards or assistants with him. Even the star, Daniel day Lewis who plays Lincoln, was all over town with no guard. Only one photo of him as Lincoln made it to the net. He reportedly was very polite and asked fans to not take his photo, and most people complied. He was reported to be very polite and willing to talk with people.

I can't wait to see that! We just had John Cusack and Emma Roberts here in the Syracuse area. Both were very nice and professional (and did not have bodyguards)
Why is Kate in DC.?
Love history. Have a BA in Eng and Hist before I went into nursing. My husband ( met at college) teaches history & writes history books. Some of our favorite spots to visit are Gettysburg and Williamsburg :)

Yeah, I can't picture Kate doing any yard work. What with her perfect manicured fingers and her butt permanently glued to that white lawn chair and all. She'd actually have to put down her phone and her cup of coffee. Not going to happen.
I just don't get how with no job, minimal child support so she claims...how can she afford to keep her lawn looking like that? Like she has a green thumb for it? "My clothes are ruined, I broke a nail."
Somebody's got to be doing her lawn keep, an unattended lawn doesn't stay perfect by itself.

WOW! That was the best Hitler parody EVER! Thank you. I've watched it several times. So funny!
If Kate is traveling she didn't leave yesterday, unless she drove to D.C. to spy on Steve at the theater. :D I wouldn't put that past her.
______________________
I thought by this she might have been some where besides home with the kids.
OH MY GOD.
You are causing people to pee themselves all across the continent.
I believe one of the kids messed with the globe, but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT Kate was calm about it. Remember how she went ballistic when one of the tups removed a knob from a drawer? Besides, none of the kids will squeal on the other one in front of each other, so why the 3d degree at dinner, no less? I think the "teaching moment" was totally made up.
Did I miss something? She's in D.C.?
***************************************
No. I wrote that I wouldn't put it past her to go to DC to spy on Steve. Never said she was there. That's how rumors start.
FYI, because I'm taking a lunch break and have nothing else to do, as of Sunday, March 18, Kate will have been on Twitter for one year.
Also, I'd like to add that if someone finally 'fessed up, it's because Kate punished everyone until someone did. That's more like her. I bet she was livid because her temper is legendary.

Another one! I'll bet there are hundreds, maybe thousands of closet McD coffee drinkers afraid to come out. lol. Timmy's is almost cult-ish.

Ahh, that would explain her absence. She's out shopping for twitter glitter to put on her anniversary cupcakes. Another excuse to party.
Administrator, maybe your video clip stunned Kate into twitter silence.
When has Kate ever been "calm" with her kids? Her first reaction is to snap in anger or make an unpleasant face at them or if not all together outright bark at them. I mean she's already been photographed hitting one of her kids.
The purell incident, gum gate, dresser knob, I don't want to even hear you breathe, 45 minutes in the crib for getting out, frustrated with boys training I mean the list goes on and on.
Calm? Ha, not in a million years do I buy it. One thing I've never understood about parents is they always tell kids sure they can tell them anything but when they often do, and they've done something wrong...all I've ever seen is parents blow up. Some might regret it later, few do in my experience.
I strongly believe Kate learned what she was taught, her parents probably blew up at her as a child and she said she felt over disciplined so therefore frequently kids follow what they know, what they saw.

Oh and Admin, I forget to add, I laughed so hard at this parody that I now know how Marie Osmond feels! Thanks, I watched it several times

Your comment made me laugh! I can just see people starting to say, "Oops, I just pulled a Marie!" or "Oh no! I just Maried myself!" LOL

I think because Kate lives in an arrested stage of development (age 12 or 13), she doesn't KNOW how to parent. She pretend plays mommy as if her kids were cabbage patch dolls.
OMG, I have dyslexia today. !OAML
plays pretend mommy, not pretend plays mommy
If she agreed not to tell the others who actually broke the globe, how is it possible that the kids *all* learned a lesson about telling the truth?? Same goes for the secret apology to the boy who was incorrectly blamed -- again, what lesson can the other kids learn if they have no idea that he was exonerated??
I'm with the others who are calling bs on this story anyway -- there's no way Kate handled this calmly -- I imagine she yelled, screamed, berated, threatened, and punished until somebody -- anybody -- finally took the hit for the others. Lesson learned by the G8: Mommy is still a batshit crazy Nazi.
Kids aren't dolls. I've got a friend, about my age, having a baby this month. Says she's ready is excited because now she could play dress up, take pictures, she got really offended when I said there is more to taking care of a baby that will grow up than meeting the physical needs or playing dress up. I don't have any kids but I am sure there has to be more than just taking care of kids physical needs?
At one time Kate did say she's more able to meet the kids immediate needs than Jon who actually talked to the kids. That right there...says quite a bit about her parenting.
Well...lookie here:
Comments on 2 different globes, ppuchased at different places:
Replogle Globe @Amazon.com Review ($43.99)
"I would not recommend this globe. I bought this for my 3rd grader and on the first day of using it, the equator peeled off!! I thought of keeping it anyway but decided to deal with the hassle and plan on returning it. It also feels too flimsy and can fall over easily."
Comments about Toys R Us 1001153 Edu Science World Globe 12 inch Diameter Globemaster:
I ordered this globe for a supplement to my child's school curriculum. When it arrived at my door the paper on it was peeling away in several places. [...] This globe serves it's purpose, but it apparently is cheaply made. You get what you pay for.

Marie - that was my point. Kate hasn't grasped that they aren't dolls. She doesn't allow them to have their own emotions, she puts her emotions into them, like you do when you play with dolls. She uses them like toys that she can put away when she's done pretending with them.
Tweetle - I'll lay odds she's going to bring it up big time on Sunday, and celebrate with her 'amazing' six trillion followers.

Hmmmmmm. Interesting. Could THAT be why none of the kids confessed, because none of them did it??? I'm beginning to think those who speculated that one of the girl tups (Hannah?) was picked to "confess" were right on!
Maybe the dingo ate the equator.
Boy is Kate in for a rough ride when her kids won't let her play dolls with them!

Kate's response: There is another bad child lying to her amazing mother!

&&&&&&&&&&&&
Exactly. Kate lives in some land of arrested development.
Sunday is the LA marathon, today's paper featured a new runner, 33, inspired to run having been diagnosed with a brain tumor. She will have her first post surgical checkup next week, after the race. It is supposed to rain on Sunday. Do you think our running queen from PA would have run in LV if it had rained?
It is odd for her to be this silent. Are the sheep worried yet. If she is indeed gone on that vacation she so desparately said she needed during the week, at least her kids will have a quiet weekend.
I just looked at the globe that sits on the table behind me, had never even noticed the oh so peelable equator. i believe we bought the globe at Costco; if a grandchild peels the equator we will buy another one. Sweat the big stuff is my motto. Kids are kids.
@AuntieAnn...do you mind if I ask what's with the dingo reference? Is it because now Kate can't go to Au?

Is she ever. When they discover they have minds and thoughts of their own, it's going to hit the fan. That's if her narcissist brain-washing hasn't convinced them otherwise.
Marie -it's become sort of a stock answer to questions that we'll never really know the answer to although in real life, it was a sad story. You can google Azaria Chamberlain to read about it.
Also it was a funny line Elaine quoted in a Seinfeld episode. You can google it for the Youtube clip, too.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Marie--
this a pop culture reference to a movie that was based on a true story. A baby was missing on a family camping trip, and the mother (played by Meryl Streep, I think, said, with a very pronounced Aussie accent, that "the dingo ate my ba-a-by. I think it was an SNL skit, a band was named and it was on Seinfeld. google "dingo ate baby"
This video is HILARIOUS!!! Just perfect! BRAVO!
@bearswife- Thanks for posting the Timmie's version, loved it! (And yes, I am one of those that are totally addicted, I go 2 or 3 times a day... and its roll up the rim time, YAY!)
So sick and sad. Hitler murdered millions of Jews Kate didn't. Kate's followers may be weird. But their not murdering people for Kate its sick to compare anyone to Hitler.
Maybe she is going to cross the finish line at the LA Marathon.
