Springsteen's Marriage Over? Bruce Springsteen has reportedly split from his wife of 20 years, Patti Scialfa, and started a new relationship with a 9/11 widow. Friends of the rocker claim Springsteen and Scialfa have separated in secret, after he fell for a redhead he met when he organized September 11th telethon, America: A Tribute To Heroes. A source tells the New York Post newspaper, "They're separated, but everyone has been sworn to secrecy. We're not supposed to talk about it." Although Springsteen enjoyed a recent vacation with Scialfa and their three children, he has been spotted near his New Jersey home with the mystery woman. Scialfa's mother Victoria tells the newspaper, "I don't know anything about it; I don't want to talk about it." A rep for the singer has refused to comment. | ||

Son, We've discussed this before. You need to create your own identity. As we all know you steal material from the web and post it as your own on a regular basis. You've been caught numerous times doing so. Now, you've actually begun posting in a style similar to myself. Again, we're looking for original thought here on MOL. You have yet to bring this very important trait to the table 2300 posts in. | ||

Strawberry: Your identity is fixed and seems a bit puerile. We know the level at which you "think." Value-less. Content-free. And you're consistent at confirming it. I call it out when I feel like it. | ||

Straw forgot to specify that this story wasnt just in the New York Post, but it was the headline story....in the Page Six section yesterday...generally entertaining but is it an important journalistic source worth quoting in The Political Soapbox? | ||

Unfortunate news, if true. Question: If this is "Bad News for Libs", does that mean that it's "Good News for Conservatives"? And why is that, exactly? Maybe the Post ran with this story because of the involvement of a 9-11 widow. For some reason, it apparently has become fashionable for conservatives to bash 9-11 widows (see, for example, the writings of Ann Coulter). Is this "Good News for Conservatives" because it's bad news involving a 9-11 widow? | ||

I've never stooped to responding to Straw's posts -- it somehow reminds me of arguing with a 6-year-old -- but I gotta chime in on this one. How the HELL does Springsteen's screwing around have ANYTHING to do with "liberal" (however you define that) politics? Seems to me, after several years of observing MOL and rarely joining in the fracas, that Straw has more than a few screws loose. What a moron. | ||

Doubt Bruce's family's divorce agony has a political context, sorry for his kids basically. Maybe he will actually starting writing some really good songs again arising from this dark, sad, period of his life, as an artist. On the other hand, with his millions, he may have already hooked up with trophy wife # (?) already so he won't have any angst for new material. Think prenup, Brucie, Sir Paul didn't. innisowen- Only "puerile"? Thought you would throw some latin phrases into the mix. You're slipping there in terms of the big word/important sounding phrases quota for your posts. | ||
| Innisowen Citizen Username: Innisowen Post Number: 2302 Registered: 3-2004 |
Well, I sense a pattern here on Straw's part. I couple his reference from the NY Post Page 6 with his reference of a while back to a two year old article in Popular Mechanics. His reading level and frame of reference speak for themselves. I expect that his next posting will refer to a blurb in the Ladies Home Journal or the Family Circle, if either of these ever issues a comic book version. Fiction: I'm glad you caught puerile (I guess you had the dictionary handy?) So Latin is already covered, thanks. You ought to try to read it yourself; god forbid, you might learn something. | ||

It was also in the Ledger News report says Bruce Springsteen has the fever for a widowed redhead Friday, August 25, 2006 Does Bruce Springsteen still have a hungry heart? The airwaves were buzzing yesterday after the New York Post reported The Boss had left his wife of 15 years, singer Patti Scialfa, and was seeing a new woman. And who is he supposedly dancing in the dark with? Not an actress or a singer, like his first two wives, but a 9/11 widow, the Post report says. The woman is not named, but she is said to be a redhead, just like Scialfa. Anonymous sources told the Post Bruce and the woman had been seen at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. The Post says Springsteen has moved out of his family home in Rumson, and is living at his farm in Colts Neck. But Springsteen and Scialfa sure haven't been acting like a couple gone splitsville, at least not recently. For the last year or so, rumors of trouble in the Springsteen marriage have occasionally popped up on Springsteen-related Web sites. But the two, who married in 1991 and have three children, have been spotted together in public many times since then. Scialfa sang on Springsteen's most recent album -- "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions," released in April - and appeared at some but not all of Springsteen's concerts from April to June. Springsteen attended the 75th anniversary of the Manasquan Inlet on Tuesday with his two boys, Evan and Sam, but sans spouse. Efforts to reach his publicist yesterday were unsuccessful. -- Jenifer D.

Straw, I hate to burst your shallow bubble of an ego ... but all you did was just call me a "putz" and make a remark about a "lack of brain." Really, this is not even very clever *sigh*. It's just too bad that you can't come up with something better. I do feel sorry for you. Have you considered therapy? I hear there IS help available for your sort ... | ||

uh oh...Page Six today...Evelyn Lauder and Ruby Dee, both Hunter College alums, threw a party celebrating the current Hunter president's 5th anniversary. Since Evelyn Lauder is most likely a Republican and Ruby Dee is most likely a Democrat, this can only mean one thing...BAD NEWS FOR LIBS AND WINGNUTS!!! If this keeps up, pretty soon we'll be having cats sleeping with dogs and other cataclysmic events. Im surprised the esteemed Page Six quoter missed this nugget. A look ahead to tomorrow's Page Six...Dick Cheney calls for the destruction of Pluto since intelligence reports show large amounts of plutonium there. It could get into the hands of bad dudes who want to hurt America (sources tell Page Six that Ming the Merciless allegedly is aligned with Muslim extremists)...Halliburton has already bid on the project. | ||

I promise I will henceforth use "puerile" as a word in every innisowen response post. Innisowen, I think you have to cut down on all the grey poupon you have been slathering on your coldcuts. You are getting carried away with yourself on intellectual flights of foreign language fancy. If you could carry a tune, at least, you would be getting work in Vegas. As for Springstein, who are you all to criticize? A good 40-50 million in the bank,a lovely wife, and a couple of kids does not buy happiness. Why are you folks being so damn selfish?  . Just another example of why rock stars are not role models. | ||
| Innisowen Citizen Username: Innisowen Post Number: 2324 Registered: 3-2004 |
Fiction: There you go again, throwing monkey feces about to the tune of one of your favorite Wayne Newton songs. I'm happy you learned "puerile." It sounds like a new word for you. If you learned one new word a day, (admittedly a daunting task for you) you might some day know something. I don't get carried away on flights of foreign language fancy, except for people whose knowledge of foreign languages is limited. And who is to judge that the language is foreign to me? Not you, Fiction. You lack the capacity for that judgement. By the way, you shouldn't stick with your Wayne Newton reference("Danke Shoene" is the way I believe you misspelled the title, but that's OK), especially when the language you tried to link the reference to, is NOT German. But then, how would you know that? And try to learn how to spell "compatible." You have a lot of opinions, but they're about as accurate as your spelling and your judgement. | ||

Innisowen- I tried the "intellectual" with you, but you couldn't support you analogy of the Vietnam War to Iraq as I requested. And I even tried to help. In short, it appears your typing fingers make promises your mind can't meet. I agree, though, that you seem a more Tony Orlando and Dawn type than a Wayne Newton. And to close with a pungent Innisowen style quote, I frequently find your opinions : " klepn vi arbes tsu der vant". Ah yes, I forgot " PUERILE" | ||

Your Iraq "insights" and opinions (if we could even call them that) are so infected by Fox News myths and the PR toilet chain of neocon websites (another example of your gullibility) that they deserve short shrift.

"puerile". As a classicist I would say you are more Homer Simpson than Homer. "Tie a yellow ribbon" around that thought process. | ||
| Innisowen Citizen Username: Innisowen Post Number: 2346 Registered: 3-2004 |
Funny. I don't see you as a classicist either. In case you're wondering, the quote above is from a language that has never been confused with either Classical Greek or Latin, so I am wondering, concerning your postings, what kind of dulling pharmaceuticals are in the picture. If I'm Homer Simpson, you must be Goofy. By the way, now that you "seem" to have mastered puerile (like all pupils, you obviously want to show off the newly learned word on every occasion, and that's understandable), why not alternate it with another adjective that seems right in describing your postings and points of view? How about jejune? Gosh, at this rate, you'll learn at least 12 common English words this year, even if they're new to you. | ||

Anyway, back to the topic at hand ... If this thread started as "bad news for libs", then I guess the following would be "bad news for cons" (and "good news for Real Americans"  ) - From http://www.brucespringsteen.net/site.html  And, of course, there are great cheesy news headlines - Daily News: "Bruce says Patti's still his Jersey girl" Boston Herald: "Bruce says Patti is still the Boss at home" | ||

| Innisowen Citizen Username: Innisowen Post Number: 2347 Registered: 3-2004 |
Fiction: Well, have I finally succeeded in getting you to admit that you are contemptible (or, as you might write, "contemtabel")? You said it yourself, not I. Probably jejune as well, to judge from your postings. | ||
| Factvsfiction Citizen Username: Factvsfiction Post Number: 1540 Registered: 4-2006 |
Innisowen- It's fairly obvious that the Jesuits didn't smack you around enough in order to ensure you applied a rigorous intellectual process to your reading comprehension. I wasn't referring to your current posts when I deemed you a classicist, just your weighty, pretentious use of latin and other foreign phrases to present yourself as a heavyweight pundit of the MOL board. Uncalled for, unless your posts don't otherwise have the substance that can carry them. Oh sorry, now I see... | ||

Fiction: You're welcome. I am nowhere near intending to be profound, by the way. Most of this stuff is a lark, as I assumed (apparently wrongly) that you understood. If you see profundity in any posts on these boards, once again I must say, that identifies your level of functioning. Thanks for the view into the workings and misfirings of such gray matter as you're using. |
