Are you man enough to be a Manny?
First, somebody had the frilly idea of having men wear earrings.
Now, there's a market for a male nanny — "manny" as it were. A story by Brigid Schulte of the Washington Post details all this — pointing out that Hollywood stars Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rosie O'Donnell all have one. Seems that actress Elizabeth Hurley is on the hunt for a good one. Well, I will fantasize about being her man, but not her manny. Am I saying this professional caring for kids is women's work? Yes, I am. It's an image issue. Not a competency one. Posted by Steve E. Swenson 7 comments from 6 users

Shh! Steve's secretly British, so it's OK--they spell funny over there. And don't get me started on fannies and bums. . I always wanted to be "Kato," too. Get to drive that big black car and help the Green Hornet... posted by

Yeah Robb. Some people are getting way more than the 15 minutes of fame they deserve.

It could be that all the people you've named want a stable, responsible male in their child's life. Not sure how that's a bad thing...

Isn't that what Zonker (of Doonesbury fame) has been for quite awhile now?

I wouldn't know; I haven't been able to find it in the local paper for quite a while. Maybe I'm not looking on the correct page...

Wasn't Doonesbury discontinued or retired?
