If the whole Kardashian clan vaporized, the world and our country would be on a path of improvement. I cannot fathom why ANYONE evens gives 2 hoots and a holler for that crowd.

Clarice, I love you.

Does anyone remember that it was the Kardashian father who gave refuge to OJ Simpson as he fled the police? It was Kardashian who carried the infamous garment bag which many thought held the bloody clothes or murder weapon.
I think he was divorced 4 times before he died @ age 59. Can we expect a stable family, with this kind of role model?

MUST READ. (Clarice is always ´must read.´)

With all due respect #4 and webmaster, nothing with the name "Kardashian" in the title is a must read. Ever. Even from Clarice. No exceptions.

On the contrary, I date the start of American decline from I Love Lucy.

I date 1962 as the beginning of the end for America. It´s the year that Madalyn Murray O´Hair successfully forced prayer out of public schools.

Bracing, as always,, Clarice.

Excellent work. Yes, a must read. And, the title is appropriate.

The K family take up a whole channel, it seems like. I have yet to watch them and change the channel Most of the expensive comcast programs are old as the hills and it would be nice to be able to pick just the ones that you want to watch and discard the rest. I never could stand I Love Lucy.

It has gotten so bad that I can no longer watch a movie with a ´star´ in it. Their very presence takes away from the story.

When television is full of Honey Boo-Boos and Kim Kardashians and The Houswewives of Newark, the pop culture has become a slimy stopped-up toilet bowl. And the race to the absolute bottom is not over yet.

OT: I don´t know where to post this so I´ll stitch it on to this thread and hope Staff will be lenient.

Ms. Lucianne and her staff deserve our highest praise for their untiring work seven days a week, not just weekdays.

There are other sites who are puffed up with their own importance, whose listings are two days late and linger several days after that, who don´t seem to understand that on weekends many people have more time for these online sites than they do during the week.

Ldotters can come here any day and every day and find pages that are fresh, relevant and thought provoking. Thanks!

For me the genesis of today´s societal rot was The President´s Commission on Obscenity and Pornography in 1969. Because they determined that pornography, in any form, was not detrimental we are now surrounded by it. From Gangsta Rap to Jersey Shore to violent video games to Bill Maher to XXX INTERNET. The Kardashians are just a symptom.

People who find the slightest challenge too difficult love to wallow in stupidity, now they have a culture which embraces them instead of shaming them.

I heard this Kardashian chick talk on the radio once. Upon hearing that voice, I had a hard time visualizing her as an adult woman.

“All the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arise, not from want of honor or virtue, but from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”

John Adams

Throughout human history, free people prosper into decadence. Pick ANY television channel and watch for an hour, commercials included, and not know it is over.

What number 7 said.

Bimbos don´t succeed in public unless people like Feldman write about them.

I believe the end started when Jack Kennedy and LBJ were elected in 1960 thru voted fraud in Chicago and Landslide LBJ Texas. Democrats drove casino workers to the polls and gave them ten dollar bills and whiskey bottles, how the SEIU union goons in 2012 elected Obama.
Richard Nixon knew about this fraud but he was a gentleman, and he did not want to upset the country, so he said nothing.

The beginning of the end of America was with the implementation of Social Security.
The demise accelerated with Johnson´s great society.
The capstone is the failure of the educational system.

Follywood now represents the real America as it exists.

The Kardashians are actually examples of fulfilling the American dream - unfortunately they´ve found great success for no good reason, they didn´t help anyone, they don´t create anything but their own fame.

The problem really is more us than them.

I quite agree that publicity is their life blood, sun city, but there´s nothing in this article about them. It is about the nature of present American culture.

I´m not a fan of what the Turks did to the Armenians, but there is one family that I wish they....

The comments here are the reason I stick primarily to TCM and Nat Geo channels. Nothing else on worth watching.

Let´s just begin by getting rid of Mama K.
Johnson´s "Great Society" is into the 4th generation of unwed mothers and "fatherless" children. And they all vote for democrats.
